Answers: For instance.. a fever.. the body dosen't want to eat. Why is that?

Actually, your body burns more calories when you have a fever. It's something like for every degree your body temperature raises, your metabolism is a certain percent faster. I think it's similar to what happens when you take a stimulant. You lose your appetite, but at the same time you are burning more calories.

If you try to eat,it will make it worse.

ur brain r busy in fighting sickness.... not time for eat until ur body wins...
by the way, my appetite is at most when i get sick.. i don't know why...............

thats your body tring to get rid of the virus.

Some interesting answers, but not WHY. I am sorry, but I do not know why. My guess would be that your digestion system shuts down, allowing your body to transfer that energy to the immune system.
