Probably the most common flu-recovery food. The ingredients found in chicken soup can help to reduce inflammation in the body. Chicken will also give your body protein! Chicken soup also helps with digestion and is soothing to the body, since your appetite can be affected when you have the flu.

Specifically, fruits that are high in Vitamin C. These fruits would include citrus fruits, strawberries, tomatoes, papaya. Banana is also a good fruit to have. Bananas are lighter on the stomach and can help with symptoms like vomiting, nausea and diarrhoea.

Vegetables
