8 Best Foods to Eat When You Have a Cold (and Two to Avoid)

Coconut water

Hydration is essential when you’re feeling sick, particularly when you have a fever and sweat buckets. One way to restore your water and electrolyte supply is to drink coconut water.

Coconut water contains antioxidants that can fight oxidative damage and may also improve blood sugar levels, which are especially dangerous if you’re suffering from diabetes. Apart from its health benefits, this beverage is sweet and flavorful which makes it easy to drink.

Honey

Pairing honey with a warm glass of milk or a cup of tea can work wonders on your cold-battered immune system. Honey has powerful antibacterial effects and it is excellent in treating a sore throat caused by a virus infection. It has also been found to relieve coughing and is just as effective as cough syrups in suppressing coughs in children older than 12 months.

Fun fact: Honey is so potent from the bacterial point of view that ancient Egyptians used to apply it on wounds to speed up the healing process.
