✗ The myth everyone repeats
When you have a cold, eat lots of food; when you have a fever, eat less food.
✓ What is actually true
Medical experts recommend proper nutrition for both colds and fevers. Your body needs nutrients and energy to fight off infections, regardless of which illness you have. Dehydration and malnutrition can worsen recovery. The advice is backwards, starving yourself during illness weakens your immune response.
