Why do they say:?!


Question: "Starve a fever, feed a cold"
I've always wondered and never thought to ask.


Answers: "Starve a fever, feed a cold"
I've always wondered and never thought to ask.

My Mom always said that when I was a kid. She would make us drink plenty of liquids when we had a fever, and she would always try to get us to eat chicken noodle soup or something else when we had a cold. She said those things are what our body needed. I still try to do that to this day, but it might just be an "old wives tale" that has been passed down.

I've never actually heard that phrase before.......

exactly what is says on the tin , don`t eat when u have a fever and when you have a cold eat lots of chicken soup :)

Because feverish people usually just die anyway, so you might as well not waste the food.

I always get them confused or backwards so I just cover the bases and feed both!
