So i was just wondering ...
Most people say when they are sick they don't feel like eating, they lose their appetite. I'm the exact opposite. When I'm sick, I not only want to eat everything, but I get weird cravings like for curry and mixing cereals..
Am i the only one who becomes the worst eater ever when they are sick???

No, you are not the only one. Feeling that we get when we are sick -- like feelings of no appetite or craving certain foods -- are actually your body telling you what it needs in order to get better. Learning to understand this is important. If you are craving meat, it means your body needs protein. Listen to what your body needs when you are sick. But if you think your body says you need to eat a cake with a bag of Doritos and cheesefries...know that this is probably just your belly.0
