Fact or fiction: Feed a cold, starve a fever?

FICTION

The old adage, "feed a cold, starve a fever" is actually a myth. When you have a cold, it's not unusual to lose your appetite — and forcing yourself to eat (or denying yourself food if you're hungry) won't do much to help fight the virus. However, added energy can help your body recuperate, so if you're feeling up to it, eating light, healthy foods will help boost your energy.

The real key to recovering from a cold isn't what you eat, it's what you drink. Make sure to drink plenty of water — staying hydrated helps your body flush out the virus.
