Common Myth #5: Feed a cold, starve a fever.

The Myth: 

Feed a cold, starve a fever.

The Truth:  

When you have a fever, your body naturally may experience a loss of appetite.  If you aren't hungry when you have a fever, don't eat.  If you hungry, go ahead and eat.  Studies have shown that warm liquids (such as chicken soup) may help loosen congestion if you do have a cold.
