Nourishment Notes

Ginger

Ginger has long been used as a remedy to fight against nausea. Gingerol, the bioactive ingredient in ginger, may also be beneficial as an antioxidant and antiinflammatory agent.

Lemon

Tart or sour foods may be easier to consume when feeling nauseous. Tart or sour foods may also increase saliva production, which is important when dealing with dry mouth.

Fatigue Buster

  • Lemon Juice

    Use bottled lemon juice instead of squeezing your own to limit prep time.

  • Garlic

    To minimize prep time, use pre-minced, jarred garlic or garlic paste.

  • Radishes

    Look for pre-cut matchstick radishes.
