When I was in high school, my wrestling coach advocated running covered in layers of sweatsuits while sick.

So I'd say go with that.

I think this is a misnomer. In class we learned that for males you only need 95 mg of Vit C/day, and if you smoke, you add another 35 mg.

As well, your body can only absorb 200 mg. It wasn't specified if this was per day, or per sitting.

Regardless, any excess you will piss out. I also read about a study that mentioned a diet including +1000 mg/day of Vitamin C was shown to shorten the duration of being sick by half a day.

Still, I think all this Vit C stuff is pure BS :lol

I'm taking a very general multivitamin as I've sorta lost my appetite. I don't have a stomach flu but as mentioned the BRAT diet is great for that, basically bland foods that don't upset anything.

You must be swimming in RDAs, EARs, ULs, and AIs right now...

Also ginger ale/7-up that is FLAT is best. Just shake it up a whole bunch until the carbonation is gone.

What is the point of drinking it flat? The carbonation is the part that's supposed to ease the stomach discomfort.

I was pretty sick 2 weeks ago and couldn't eat anything but soft foods. My diet consisted of:

- Canned soup
- Marie Calendar Chicken Pot Pie
- Self cooked Sapporo Ichiban ramen w/ egg, seaweed, kamaboko (fish cake)
- Apple sauce as snacks
- Oatmeal for breakfast

Needless to say, I'm extremely tired of the first three items in that list. It was basically all I ate for a week.

Dude piping hot Vietnamese noodle soup, also known as Pho, is great to eat when sick.. add some peppers and that red chili stuff and you're sure to sweat that sickness out!

YES! Pho is awesome, though I don't overrate it (IMO) like everyone else I know haha. I went for Pho last week after hitting the hot tub and sauna in a desperate effort to finish off this cold...didn't work.

But yeah it was very comforting.

Kim chi ramen.

Or that spicy pho someone mentioned earlier.

Basically, go for some spicy Korean, Vietnamese, or Thai food. That'll kick your cold's ass.

It may clear his sinus, but his ass will be weeping the next day.

conguee <-- if you know what that is

its basically cooked rice with lots of water, it looks like baby food, but its healthy and tasty
you can probably buy a big pot of it from any chinese restaurant for no more than 5 dollars

 

[Yixian]

Clear soups, cereal, toast..

Some people say scrambled egg but I can't eat that shit healthy.
