Eat healthy foods

Your body requires healthier nourishment to recover from the flu, despite the temptation to drown your grief in a dish of ice cream and a bag of chips. Important vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants found in fresh fruits and vegetables support your immune system while it fights the virus. Even if you don't feel very hungry, it's still crucial to eat regularly to stay strong. Keep in mind that the right diet can not only help you recover faster when you get sick; it might even help prevent illness in the first place.

Vitamin C has a strong link to a boosted immune system and may lessen cold and flu symptoms. Vitamin C-rich foods include:

• Citrus fruit, such as oranges and grapefruits
• Broccoli
• Brussels sprouts
• Cantaloupe
• Kiwi
• Peppers
