An infectious disease doctor advises against working out when sick, especially with stomach or respiratory illnesses, as it can prolong recovery and increase risk to others. Rest and hydration are recommended, and easing back into exercise after symptoms improve is best for health.
When you're sick, there are several foods that can aid in your recovery and provide holistic healing. Garlic has been shown to speed up recovery and combat cold and flu symptoms.
