what to eat when you are down and out. Introduction.

uggg.  Just got sick.  eating lots of soup.  

Though I could write a lot about what I think we should be eating while ill, I think it is interesting that our bodies generally tell us what we should not be eating.  For instance, if I even think about fried foods in my current Flu-like state, I feel nauseated.  There were bagel chips on the counter this morning, and I thought "God NO!".  My body is pretty clear about what it does not want to eat right now.  But that doesn't necessarily mean I am clear on what I should eat.  

next post:  the joys of congee.
