Who would’ve thought about this right? Well, turns out, there’s nothing really like salted baked potatoes when the flu pay’s your a visit. How it works is by the salt and starch content it holds. The salt deprives bacteria of food and creates a hostile environment for the infection; thus cutting out any progression of the flu. Just be sure to avoid sugary drinks and carbohydrates when down with flu. Sugar is food for bacteria. Just stick to salted baked potatoes for a day or two and your flu will be gone in no time.
