Question: Is lucozade good for you when your ill? Because my grandma always has it if she is poorly!

My Mum totally did that too when I was a kid! 🤒

I think the logic is that it’s really sugary, and when you’re ill you don’t eat much because your appetite goes. And it’s easier to drink calories than it is to eat them. So it’s great for giving you some of the energy you need. But I guess there’s also a placebo effect – if you think that drinking lucozade will make you better then it will, just from the power of the mind.

Chicken soup is really good for you because it replaces a lot of the nutrients you’ve lost when you’ve been ill. 🐔🥫🍲But let’s be honest, which would you rather have when you’re sick – lucozade or chicken soup?!🤔😁
