Even when your sick, and leading up to the process of getting your health back to normal, you have to know the right foods and nutrients that you should be eating and taking, in order to get back in tip top shape! You should be taking lots of these vitamins:
- Vitamin C; Found in strawberries and leafy green veggies
- Vitamin E; Found in peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts, broccoli and spinach
- Vitamin B6; Found in banana's, tuna, chickpeas, baked potato
- Vitamin D; Found in salmon and tuna
- Iron; Found in chicken, turkey and seafood
- Folic Acid; Found in beans, leafy greens, peas, pasta, rice, any whole-grain products
Obviously, when we are fighting a bad cold, we usually don't have much of an appetite, which is why it is very important to take in lots of these nutrients. This way, we don't feel sick or dizzy from not eating as we normally do when we aren't sick. Drinking orange juice or cranberry juice is also good for the immune system, to help it get back on track. Fresh fruits and veggies are key ingredients to feeling better!
