Harmful products are divided into several categories:

• Confectionery, overly sweet jams, preserves, preserves, sweet pastries, rye bread, freshly baked bread.
• Caffeine (which is found in alcohol, strong tea, coffee).
• Fatty meat (pork, lamb, duck, goose), sausage, sausages, brisket, ham, brawn, canned food, semi-finished products.

First category products are harmful to the body because of the high sugar content, which lowers the activity of the functioning of leukocytes (they fight well against viruses).

The second group products leads to dehydration, which already occurs due to increased sweating.

Third list products are harmful because fatty foods are difficult for the stomach to digest. The forces of the body will not be spent on recovery, but on the digestion of food. Therefore, patients with the California flu should eat simply, but at the same time and satisfying. Chicken broth is an excellent source and remedy for disease control.

Important note! Swine (California) flu is not transmitted through pork if it has been cooked correctly and according to technology (you should strictly adhere to the rules for preparing dishes with pork meat).
