Dieting increases chances of getting the flue

Did you start the new year with a diet? Then be warned, because according to American researchers, people who are trying to lose weight with a strict diet are more susceptible to flue.

The researchers conducted their research on mice and found that mice that were on a low calorie diet could not defend themselves against the flue.

The team of Michigan State University discovered that mice that were on a diet had a bigger chance of dying. They also took longer to recover compared to the group of mice that were allowed to eat regularly.

According to the researchers it is not wise to start a diet in the flue season and that it is better to wait a few months until the flue season passes.
