Does it help to drink chocolate milk when you have the flu? |
I have been feeling weak and feverish all day and my stomach hurts, so I think I have the flu. But I am in college and I went to the 2 classes I had today, then i went to the cafeteria and ate a piece of pizza, fries, and a salad and drank tea, then later on I went back for dinner and had another piece of pizza, an apple, and lemonade. After this I went to the computer lab for awhile, then I was going to go back to the dorm room but I thought since I felt so sick I should stop by the little on campus store and get something to drink. I was going to get orange juice, but then I saw chocolate milk, and they NEVER have chocolate milk, so i just got chocolate milk instead. But will chocolate milk really help me at all if i have the flu? Also, will the fact that I ate pizza and fries make my flu worse? Avoid any dairy or other items which are likely to trigger an allergic reaction and make your flu worse. Pizza is typically covered in cheese and then you down chocolate milk. Both are bad choices at the best of times. Drink other liquids, plenty of water or orange juice. Humans are the only animal that drinks milk past infancy, and then it's not even from the correct species! Too many people are still trying to defend milk's supposed health benefits. Unfortunately, they are either using old information or information obtained from research funded by the dairy association. How many people would enjoy a glass of dog's milk or rat's milk? What makes cows special? There are only two reasons which I've found to support humans drinking cow's milk. We have grown up hearing that it's good for us and we've grown accustomed to the taste and texture. There is absolutely no nutrition that can not be obtained elsewhere, minus the negatives. Calcium seems to be the major claim for milk. It can be found elsewhere in green vegetables, almonds, and many other sources. Where do you think the cows obtain the calcium to put into the milk? Where do other larger animals (elephants, horses, deer, whales, etc) get calcium? Why we continue to drink cow's milk laced with growth hormones, antibiotics, and who knows what else is beyond me. Since I've given up drinking milk about 5 years ago my health has greatly improved. I suffer fewer allergy problems, asthma and breathing problems are greatly reduced, I'm sleeping better, and I have more energy. In the '50s smoking was considered harmless but now we realize its dangers. One person at a time and eventually the truth will become widely known that cow's milk is only for baby cows. Milk is indeed the perfect food, but only for infants of the proper species. Do some research online and decide for yourself. http://www.strongbones.org/ http://www.notmilk.com/ You should never drink any kind of milk or milk products when you have a fever The milk wasnt a bad idea, but the pizza and fries probably werent a great idea. No. It's dairy. Dairy makes flem. Flem makes you cough. Carbohydrates in milk will give you enegry to fight the flu. I've never heard of chocolate milk being a cure for the flu, but it doesn't hurt to try it. If you're feeling really lousy and it makes you feel better, then chocolate milk is a good idea. Besides, you're sick...you're entitled to baby yourself. Drink up! yes, it's good for you...but, drink it hot, and with marshmallows ! |
