What diet can I take for chicken pox?

Dear Ask The Doctor: I was suffering from chicken pox for last 2 weeks but now it is cured.what type of food i can eat ? is there anu restrictions?

Dear Vishnu: There is no specific diet for chicken pox. You may consume foods rich in vitamin A, C, flavinoids and minerals zinc and magnesium which help in strengthening the immune system of the body. Eating plenty of fruits (especially watermelon), fruit juices and plenty of vegetables will help in the recovery. It is also important to drink plenty of water. You may need to avoid foods containing fat and spicy food during this period of recovery.
