My coach says that I need to eat 1.2 - 1.5 grams of proteins perkilogram when I have a common cold and flu. I normally eat one gramof proteins per kilogram, while double it when doing my exercisetraining.
He explained that the reason why you need to get more goodproteins when you are sick is that the body is building antibodiesby the adaptive immune system and later for innate immunity.
I think he can be right based only on my own experiences gettingbetter from common cold with low protein diet - it just takes a lotof time, while under high protein diet, you get better faster. Ialso think his explanation makes complete sense to me, sinceantibodies and antigens are proteins.
Why do you need more proteins when you aresick?
