Why are we normally advised to take bland and nourishing food when we are sick?
During sickness the body becomes weak and the digestive system does not work properly. Immunity of the body decreases during disease of infection. So we are normally advised to consume bland and nourishing food when we are sick so that we can get the nutrients and energy quickly to fight off the foreign disease-causing agents.
