Sick ? Speedy recovery is possible if you can avoid these 3 drinks.
Sickness can be seen as a condition in which you are unable to function normally. Below are the the major drinks to avoid during sickness.
Avoid milk
If you have stuffiness and congestion, avoid drinking milk or any other dairy product till you get better. Dairy products, especially milk, tend to make you produce more mucus or phlegm. However, there is no evidence that shows that reducing milk consumption will reduce the mucus. According to experts, dairy makes their phlegm thicker and more unpleasant.
Avoid orange juice
Do you love drinking orange juice, for it contains a good amount of vitamin C and has a lip-smacking taste too? Well, who does not? But, if you can’t resist the craving for orange juice even you are sick, you might want to think again. Yes, if you’re unwell, you’re better off without it because it is loaded with sugar, which can reduce the ability of white blood cells to fight illness. Give orange juice a break if you have cough, sore throat or cold as it can hurt your throat and make the healing process longer.
Avoid coffee
It’s best to avoid coffee when you are not feeling well or have a stomach bug because being a diuretic in nature, its consumption will make you rush to the lavatory more often, which will leave you dehydrated. Not getting enough hydration will only make things worse for you, as dehydration makes your system less effective in fighting off virus or other infections. Caffeine is even worse when you are struggling with diarrhoea or vomiting, as both cause you to lose fluid.
