Human: Is it true that I have to be careful what I eat when I have a cold? Assistant: 
It is true that you should be careful about the types of foods you consume while you are sick. Foods high in fat, sugar and salt can make your symptoms worse. You should stick to light and easily digestible meals such as soups, smoothies or broth-based broths. Avoiding processed foods and eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables can also help keep your symptoms at bay.
