Drink warm broth
Hot beef or chicken broth is the most effective method to stay hydrated, and it also helps loosen sinus congestion. Bone broth is especially useful for breaking up congestion in the sinuses and improving breathing. Rich in nutrients such as protein and minerals such as potassium and sodium, bone broth also contains gelatin. A warm cup of chicken or beef broth can alleviate the sensation of energy depletion associated with influenza. Warm bone broth replenishes the body’s electrolyte deficiency and bolsters the body with proteins to alleviate muscle inflammation. The protein found in bone broth aids in the regeneration of immune cells, which aid in the fight against influenza.
