No, it is not true that you should starve a fever and feed a cold. It is important to stay well-nourished and hydrated when you are sick, regardless of whether you have a fever or a cold. It is recommended to listen to your body and eat nutritious foods to help support your immune system during illness.

Do you starve or feed Swine Flu?

Regardless of the illness, it is never a good idea to "starve" it. This "Old Wive's Tale" or myth has been commonly quoted, but sometimes as, "Starve a cold and feed a fever," and other times as, "Feed a cold and starve a fever." The truth is that it is never medically sound to "starve" any illness, including Swine Flu, since our bodies need fuel to be able to make the necessary antibodies or other defenses against any disease, and to heal damage that infections or diseases have already caused.See the related link below to an article on this subject on the WebMD site that gives sound guidelines for what nourishment your body needs when fighting disease and infections so you can choose appropriate foods to help get well as fast as possible.
