How Eating Right Helps The Sick Get Well?.

[Mataracy]

Not only does food help prevent disease, it also helps the sick body fight disease and become well again. So when a person is sick, nutritious good is especially important.

Unfortunately, some mothers stop giving a child nutritious foods when he is sick or has diarrhoea - so the child becomes weaker, can not fight off the illness, and may die. Sick children need nutritious food if a sick child will not eat, encourage him to do so.

Feed him as much as hr will eat and drink. And be patient. A sick child often does not want to eat much. So feed him something many times during the day.
Also, try to make sure that he drinks a lot of liquid so that he pees ( passes urine) several times a day. If the child will not take solid foods, mash them and give them as a mush or gruel.

Often the signs of poor nutrition first appear when a person has some other sickness. For example, a child who has had diarrhea for several days may develop swollen hands and feet, a swollen face, dark sports, or peeling sores on his legs These are signs of severe malnutrition. The child needs more good food! And more often. Feed him many times during the day.

During and after any sickness, it is very important to eat well.

In some illnesses like having an increased weight then you have to reduce eating not to eat because the main objective of operation or medical treatment is to decrease the daily eating rate. For some others like what you say eating is good for them to survive when they have maladies.
