Tag: Junk food and illness

According to a study published in *Newsweek* in 2018, researchers found that a diet high in fat and calories can trigger an inflammatory immune response similar to a bacterial infection. While cravings for comfort foods are common, opting for nutrient-dense options is critical for a speedy recovery.

According to nutritionists, processed junk foods like chips are generally discouraged during illness. When you're sick, your body needs nutrient-dense, easily digestible foods to aid recovery, not inflammatory, hard-to-digest items like chips.
