Take care of yourself. Your body is straining to fend off the invader, don’t continue the stress. I have been living on cough drops and popsicles for the last week. This is an opinion, but really I believe the best option is do what you need to do to get through the cold.
I always take a break from fasting when sick and just do whatever my body feels like doing. Sometimes it’s skipping a meal, sometimes it’s eating. I don’t worry about sticking to a fasting schedule. I figure if my body feels like it wants to eat while it’s fighting off invaders then thats what I’ll do.
Maybe get a covid test - sounds like how I was two weeks ago and I was positive with what I’m assuming was the new variant 😅 Took a small break from fasting because I needed to prioritize hydration (Gatorade and stuff) as well as eating enough when I could stomach it. Do what feels best for you!
