😔 Low Appetite

Heat just 125ml (half mug). Sip 2-3 mouthfuls at a time with breaks. Even small amount provides comfort.

🤢 Feeling Nauseous

Serve at room temperature not hot. Very mild stock—use half a cube if full cube tastes too strong. Sip one tiny mouthful at a time.

😊 Normal Appetite

Drink full mug. Could add small amount of cooked rice or noodles once tolerated. Eventually progress to more substantial vegetable soup.

💜 Vegetable broth sipped from a mug whilst lying down is appropriate gentle hydration. Warmth provides comfort when eating is impossible.

💜 Even a few sips provides hydration and warmth. The small amount of salt helps with electrolyte balance.
