You can eat beef in moderation during a cold, but avoid eating too much of it. During a cold, the body’s digestive capacity is already weakened, so if you eat too much beef, it will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, leading to symptoms of indigestion, nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain, diarrhea, so avoid eating too much beef during a cold. Very few patients are sensitive to diets containing high protein such as beef, which can easily cause allergies or even induce asthma, so they should not eat beef temporarily.
