    Sick as in your stomach's contents returning? Nothing.

    Sick as being ill? I'll try and eat foods high in caloric density and a bunch of protein shakes if it gets that bad. i.e. ice cream... if you wanna be a real OG then shots of olive oil, but you'll need orange juice as a chaser.

    If it's a cold, I have apple cider for the vitamin c; mostly though it's just a comfort thing, not much is going to prevent a cold. I've heard zinc can reduce the severity, bit I've never tried. Most things seem to be a placebo effect.
