Nourishment Notes

Chicken Broth

Liquids are often better tolerated than solid foods when feeling nauseous. Chicken broth also provides electrolytes and helps to hydrate the body.

Rice

Bland and gentle on the stomach, rice is a key component of the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast) for nausea and vomiting.

Lemon

Tart or sour foods may be easier to consume when feeling nauseous.

Fatigue Buster

  • Use Pre-Chopped Ingredients

    Purchase a pre-chopped mirepoix (carrots, celery,onion) mix.

  • Opt for Pre-Juiced

    Purchase pre-squeezed lemon juice.
