Wellness Care Plan Adama Institution Course Name Instructor’s Name Date Abstract This study aims to determine the scientific validity of the age-old saying "Feed a cold, starve a fever." The study gathered data from two groups of individuals, one with colds and the other with fevers, concerning their health parameters and food intake. The study hopes that by looking deeply into these two separate groups of participants, the findings will give essential insights into the value of this traditional saying, shining light on whether or not there is any scientific foundation to back up or invalidate this frequently held advice. Finally, this study's goal is to gain a better knowledge of how food choices affect human immune systems when they are confronted with various diseases. Introduction The saying "Feed a cold, starve a fever" has been passed down through generations as a home cure for diseases. However, its scientific foundation is unknown. The focus of the research is to explore if there is any validity to this statement by looking at the association between dietary intake and recuperation from fevers and colds. Statement of Purpose: This study’s purpose is to examine whether the saying "Feed a cold, starve a fever" is scientifically valid. Hypothesis Null Hypothesis (H0): There is no significant difference in recovery between individuals who eat when they have a cold and those who don't. Alternative Hypothesis (H1): There is a significant difference in recovery between individuals who eat when they have a cold and those who don't.
