What Food or Drink Makes You Feel Better When You Are Not Feeling Well
Ask a Question
When I was a kid my Mum always made me hot milk and that always makes me feel loved. For my son it's chicken soup.
Whenever I’m not feeling well, I have some saltine crackers and green juice. I usually won’t feel like eating particularly anything hot or cold. So room temperature snacks only for me.
After feeling off colour I usually only want a bowl of frosties (no milk, as I can't stand the stuff) and tropicana. I always feel that the sugars in these items help me to recover.
TheChimp agree with this, we always have a few packets in the cupboard for emergencies
As a kid our mam always gave us either chicken soup or lightly buttered toast with a cup of tea when we were poorly. As an adult they are still all I want when I'm poorly.
For me it's normally the stuff you should not have. If I have problems with diarrhea then I normally have a spicy curry, sorts me right out
My Irish parents insisted that a hot brandy was a cure for anything! I now find I crave the comfort of one if I feel unwell.
A cup of hot Ribena, always used to have it as a kid when i had a cold. As for food well it has to be chocolate.. what else
Anything hot and spicy clears my airways and awakens the senses. A nice shot of whisky does the trick also
Sounds a bit daft but chips and parsley sauce. My favourite as a kid and works a treat in making me feel better
Cider , 4 bottles of scrumpy with mashed swede and I'm a new man again ( I'm still an old man but I feel a lot better )
Hot ribena, toast with butter and my mums homemade chicken noodle shop. Mum always made those when I wasn't feeling well. They are still what I have now
There's only one thing I fancy when I'm feeling unwell and it never disappoints - homemade chicken soup. Full of goodness and research suggests that it has a mild anti-inflammatory effect.
Soup is definitely a good go-to food for when you’re not feeling well, or something simple like toast
I've seen soup that was just like.. "dirty" water. Quite a stretch for someone to call it "soup." lol
PhilipMarc well perhaps it depends on the soup then, not the kind that looks like dirty water
Often I feel ill because I've been eating too much rubbish, too much sugar or fat etc so I often find a nice sensible salad makes me feel better. I'd also agree a sweet tea can be very nice and if I'm really ill the original Lucozade hits the spot.
To cheer me up I think a nice hot chocolate can hit the spot or maybe a bag of toffees.
Orange lucozade, my Nana used to always get me some when i wasn’t well when younger and i still like to have it now. Or a nice sugary cup of tea. Homemade lentil soup too if i am up to making it
I love soup but no one ever makes me soup I like the freshly made stuff so that's probably why lol
