What foods should I eat when I'm sick?

[Bando]

Recently woke up with with a pounding headache 2 days ago which has slowly progressed into full body soreness, sometimes feeling cold and exhausted throughout the day. I suspect that this is just body fatigue as ive been woking out hard in the gym but have have been getting poor sleep (around 5-6 hrs a night).

I was wondering besides getting more rest is there any foods I can eat to help speed up the recover process?

Would like to get @Michael569 take on this as well

I make a healing elixir... make some hot water and add some fresh chopped ginger, the juice of 1 lemon + lemon slice, 1/2 spoonful of cayenne pepper, 1/2 spoonful cinnamon

Istead of eating foods to help the recovery I think it's more important to remove the foods that slow it down. 

Start with basic stuff. Remove sugar, flour and vegetable oils. Then see how you feel. 

For me when I eat shit like this I sleep a lot longer.

I red that if you have bacterial infection fasting is helpful. If it is a virus it might not be a good idea.
