Nourishment Notes
Liquids are often better tolerated than solid foods when feeling nauseous. Chicken broth also provides electrolytes and helps to hydrate the body.
Bland and gentle on the stomach, rice is a key component of the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast) for nausea and vomiting.
Tart or sour foods may be easier to consume when feeling nauseous.
