5. Red Bell Peppers
You may think of oranges as being the best produce to eat when you’re feeling sick; after all, they’re full of vitamin C. Surprise! Hearty bell peppers actually contain higher amounts of vitamin C, especially red varieties. It doesn’t hurt that they’re also sources of other important vitamins and minerals, including potassium and folate, too.
6. Oats
Oatmeal is a great choice when you’re sick because it’s bland, easy to eat, and rich in vitamins and minerals. Use Greek yogurt and water to make overnight oats — an easy, no-fuss way pack in all the nutrients you need without having to do much work.
