I am starting a club! It’s the “I am not feeling good club”. Covid, or something like it/with it, is on the rise. Have you looked in stores lately? Certain health aisles are ransacked. So if you thought it was just you joining the club, guess what you are not alone. I must say for myself, within my own inner circle...sickness has been popping up a lot more than I would like it to be. So, perfect time for a get better DIY style post! 

Homemade Chicken Soup

I have to start this off by saying my patient is a low sodium patient. While I don’t totally get the hype, too much of a good thing is a bad thing. If you go to the store and try to find a “low sodium” option...you won’t find it. I found the “lowest” to be 610 for sodium. Damn. This is me telling you to get the stuff to make for yourself! 

Ingredients: 

Chicken

Vegetable Broth

Carrots & Celery

Cauliflower Rice (or Pasta)

Kale

Directions: 

Start Broth and spices and chopped carrots & celery & kale

Pan fry cauliflower rice and chicken

Mix all ingredients together in broth pot

Simmer and Eat

I swear I spent less time making it from scratch than I did looking for a low sodium “convenience” option. You can find most of the items at your local store but I found the broth at Costco, the vegetables at Aldi, and the meat at Vons. 

Cough drops

This is important. Most times, cold or covid or whatever, the throat is a problem and many lose their voice. Besides staying hydrated with water, give back to your throat with cough drops. BTW, if your body is coughing....it is trying to get stuff out so let it out (and use tissues not paper towels if you can). The coughs can hurt but besides helping the cough, let the cough help you. 

Saltwater gargle

Now if you are going to have salt, a little goes a long way, and if you have it-make it count. Where you should have it is a saltwater gargle. It cleans things out and doesn’t leave a home for anything (on a microscopic level) that would make you feel bad. 

G Zero with Protein

Electrolytes are good for you! Do you need to be an athlete to deserve them? Nah you could just be sick! Lately at Costco I have seen G Zero with Protein, and I love how I can stay hydrated but not break diet but also give back to my body when it needs it most. Juice is also a good option if you can have it be low sugar or even homemade. Otherwise water or sprite zero is a great way to keep hydrated.
