I'm vegetarian, and I'm sick.?

Question

I'm vegetarian and I am sick, but I choose not to have chicken broth or chicken noodle soup or anything with meat products. I'm fairly new to the vegetarian ways, but I don't know very well what I can eat to boost up my immune system.

Can somebody help me? Thanks.

Answer 1

You can't boost your immune system in a few days.  Vitamin C boosts it over time and so do other antioxidants.

If you want broth or soup, get some vegetarian bouillon.

To boost the immune system, you can take vitamin c, zinc, and echinacea.

Answer 8

Your question reminds me:  Years ago, whenever I felt sick and couldn't shake it off, I'd go to the health food store and buy  a can of powdered fortified Brewers Yeast.  It's a very fine powder with a tendency to lump up which didn't bother me but I'd mix a heaping tsp. with a little milk or juice and drink it.  Invariably, the drink was effective.

Answer 9

If your stomach is queasy or upset, GINGER is a natural appeaser.  Try gingerale, ginger tea or even ginger snaps to nibble on

Answer 10

Chicken soup doesn't boost up your immune system.  People drink it when they are sick because "rest and fluids" are the way to help your immune system battle illness and chicken soup is fluid.  The warmth of soup can be soothing to raw throats.

Just have vegetable broth instead (watch the sodium).  Get plenty of rest.

Answer 11

The main point of "chicken noodle soup" is that it's hot liquid, which can help ease the symptoms, as well as providing you with needed fluids. There's nothing magic about chicken.

Orange juice, soups, fruit or vegetable smoothies should all go down nicely. Onions and garlic can help boost your immune system, so consider adding both to your dinner.

Answer 12

Get an orange, squeeze the juice into a cup and drink it, plenty of Vitamin C.
