Good Food and Drink to eat when you have a cold/flu?
Can anyone tell me some good food and drink to eat when you have cold/flu. Also I've heard water and honey is good for a bad throat, is this true?

I know this will sound stupid but if you make water and honey do you put the honey in first or after the water? I've never had it before S:

Thank you in advance =)

If yo u want water and honey, probably put the honey in before the hot water so it partially dissolves.

As for a drink for a colf/flu, echinacia(sp.) tea is really good for it, as well as ginger beer for the flue

(ginger beer is not alcohol fyi)

As for food, good old chicken noodle soup. Whenever i have a cold/flu, i basically inhale the lipton stuff. Crackers or other light bread products work well

I always drink hot orange and honey, you can also put a lemsip in it every 4 hours, its very soothing. Chicken soup is the best thing to eat, apparently there is something in it that works well for colds and flu. Hope you feel better soon.
ps. Put the orange in a cup first and add hot water, then a teaspoon of honey and stir well. A ny undiluted orange juice will do.

i agree. chicken noodle soup just make sure you get one with low sodium so you dont dehydrate yourself even more.
