6. Sugary treats
This is your chance to raid the cupboards and the freezer. All those tubs of ice cream you were saving for a movie night with the kids, they’ve just been repurposed for your recovery. This is far from some fanciful excuse, increasing your blood sugar by taking on glucose really could speed up your return to health.
Don’t overdo it to avoid any subsequent sickness, but a good portion of your favorite chocolates, candies or a combination of everything could really kickstart your journey back to health. A lot of parents swear by this method and keep the freezer well stocked just in case any of their little darlings fall victim to a virus. For all their potential healing properties though, the main advantage of sugary treats has to be that they’re just so darn delicious, and if that can’t get you feeling better, nothing will. Tuck in and help yourself.
