A doctor advises to limit the intake of sweets during illness

The attending physician Lydia Golubenko told why during the illness one should limit the intake of foods that contain sugar.

According to the expert, cookies, sweets and other sugary foods have a temporary negative effect on the immune system, as they can impair the ability of white blood cells to fight viruses and bacteria.

She said, "It puts your immune system at risk to fully protect your health. If you want something sweet, eat fruit - it's healthier," says Komsomolskaya Pravda.

In order to help the body through seasonal illness, you must get enough sleep, eat properly, and exercise.
