Is coffee good for you while you have the flu?

Does coffee have any positive or negative affects while you have the flu?

coffee has diuretic properties, in other words it dehydrates you, not a good thing with the flu which also causes dehydration. Stay away from coffee and tea, drink water and juices.

No coffee dehydrates your body in the worst way. When you have the flu, you need lots of hydration to help replenish cells and to push the flu out of your body. So many people with the flu end up in hospitals because of dehydration. Coffee is one of the worst beverages you could drink with the flu. If you drink coffee regularly...hang in there for a few days. You will feel better faster and get back to your coffee faster.

coffee isn't good for you at all.

think of your body as a brand new mustang, would you put defective gas or oil in your car if you new it was bad for the car? of course not!

so why put "something" in your body that's is obviously bad for you?

It will not hurt to drink coffee while enduring the flu!
Just make sure you drink your clear liquids like water
and gatorade.
Coffee can help the sore and achey joints that often accomany the flu.

No more than two cups per day. :o)
