I don't know if it's some myth, but I heard pizza tastes especially good when you have a cold/are sick. Is it true? I'm having cravings for it right now, but I don't wanna eat it if it'll make me feel worse. I heard eating certain solid foods is good while you're sick. Thanks for any answers!

why not? certain pizza flavors are nutritious--garden fresh, four cheese, etc.

It depends on whether or not you have just a cold or a fever. They say you are supposed to feed a cold and starve a fever. Cheese is not good if you are congested because it creates more mucus. The tomato sauce has lycopene which is good for you and has lots of anti-oxidants. The crust will be good for the acids your stomach creates for the absorbing. I know when I have a fever I dont want to eat anything at all. Go with what your body is craving. It usually is trying to tell you what you need.

pizza is good when you are sick because it supplies nutrients such as protein to the body to help fight the viral invaders off. if you get pizza with garlic, onions and hot peppers, these vegetables contain phytonutrients that also are anti viral amnd anti bacterial. just drink lots of H2O with the pizza, as pizza is high in sodium (which depletes water), and when you are sick you need extra water anyway. so, have some pizza and water, take a nap, and do that for a whil till you feel better.

As much as I like pizza, I wouldn't risk it because it may be really hard to digest.

No, you do not want anything with dairy products. Soup is the best thing when you are not feeling well I would suggest chicken soup with crackers.

I personally would not like it. When I'm sick, all I really want is chicken soup. :)

it's liquids that are good while you're sick... and no, when you have a cold, things tend to lose taste...
