I've been fighting off a rather nasty sinus infection since last week and have been eating like a horse. Anyone else notice when they get sick their food consumption goes up? I'd like to think the body needs this to repair itself but, who am I kidding...

Uh, no. Complete opposite. Can't get food down when my body is ill or even off a bit. Maybe you are a bit bored? Drink tea, lots of it.

Bored - yes! I haven't been on the bike since Thursday nor have I been able to get to the yoga studio. I'll be glad when this passes...

Feed or starve

The old adage is feed a cold, starve a fever. YMMV

When I get a sinus infection, I crave Thai food, not prepared mild. The capsaicin (the chemical that makes things hot) really clears out my sinuses. I also find wasabi and ginger help in this arena.
