Why or how does lemoade make you feel better when you have general sickness ie. gastro problems?? Anyone know?

The theory is that when a person is sick their "electrolyte levels/balance" goes ie the levels of potassium, sodium etc. Drinking flat lemonade restored some of these levels - it has to be full calorie otherwise you won't have sugar to give you energy and restore the body's balance.

Lemonade or tonic waters very good for sickness as they contain quinine which settles stomachs, If being sick you can drink anything that is clear (when holding glass up you can see through) squash, coca cola etc. Always avoid milk though as this just curdles and doesnt look nice when bought back up.

Well for colds and flu type illness any high C juice like OJ, lemon or lime will help boos immunity and strengthen your immunities - but for tummy trouble any citrus actually can make the problem worse - instead try warm teas and honey. Good Luck!

Maybe it just tastes good to you in general and is a kind of comfort food to you. Nothing wrong with that, though.
