What Should I Eat When I Feel Sick?

Southern Oregon is reaching what health experts believe is the peak of the Omicron variant of COVID.  That means there is a high likelihood you or someone you know is feeling sick right now, and when a person is sick, food suddenly isn’t as appealing.  Make every bite count by eating foods that are easy on the stomach and high in nutrition.  The Cleveland Clinic has an article that breaks down suggested foods into three categories: 1-foods for when you’re dehydrated, 2-when diarrhea is a problem, and 3-when you are feeling nauseated.  Suggested foods that you can keep stocked on hand and are good for when you generally just don’t feel well are: teas, Jell-O, canned soups, canned fruit packed in juice (not syrup), cheese sticks, crackers, popsicles, and canned chicken.  Paragon Orthopedics would suggest these foods for after your orthopedic surgeries too, when you need a convenient food that is helpful to your body and isn’t fast food.  Read more of the suggested foods to help relieve symptoms in those three categories and put your body in a position to heal as quickly as possible:
