We often have misconceptions about the foods we consume when we are\u00a0suffering from a cold or flu<\/a>. Certain drinks or foods (think ice cold coffees and deep-fried chicken) can prevent our recovery and slow down our immune defenses<\/a> by exacerbating inflammation and heightening mucus production. Avoid overly rich foods and pick warm broths and soothing concoctions<\/a> made with lemon, honey, or ginger. Also, remember that plenty of water is a must!<\/p>

Curious to know which foods you ought to stay away from when you\u2019re sick? Head up to the gallery and take a few notes down \u2014 it\u2019s always useful to know what you should avoid in the event you come down with something.<\/p>
