Could you eat ice cream when you are sick?

Answer 1

Eating Ice Cream When Having a ColdIt may not help much. Dairy products tend to increase the presence of mucus. If you have a cold or cough, this is not the best thing to have happen. To stay hydrated and help to thin mucus, drink lots of water as opposed to milk, ice cream, or other dairy products.

In addition, sugar is broken down into glucose. Therefore, glucose is in the system in great abundance after a nice helping of ice cream. Unfortunately for you, vitamin C and glucose have the same receptor sites on a cell. Vitamin C is imparitive to proper immune function. The more glucose you put in the system, the less chance there is for Vit. C to bind to receptor sites. People think that taking a massive load of vit. C is helpful when they're sick. This is only because it helps to increase the ratio of Vit. C to glucose. If they didn't consume so much sugar, they wouldn't need to take extra in the first place.

Answer 2

No, if you have a cold you should be eating more properly.

Try to eat fruit frequently as this helps your immune system to fight off the virus. Also drink plenty of water, the more healthy you eat and drink, your body will be much stronger, there for able to get rid of the virus quicker.

Answer 3

No. Food does not cause the common cold. It's microorganisms from the air and those who carry these microorganisms (i.e. someone who is already infected with the common cold and comes in contact with you) that causes the common cold. So enjoy your ice cream all you want but be careful of those around you that have a cold.
