Can I eat fish if I have bronchitis?

In daily life, bronchitis is a common lung disease. There are many causes of bronchitis. The most common cause is pneumonia. People with bronchitis should be treated in time, pay attention to regularity in life, and eat more light food. Fish is rich in protein and can be eaten appropriately.

People with bronchitis can eat fish, but should avoid spicy food, smoking and drinking.

The following foods are suitable for bronchitis:

1) Food should be light: Fresh vegetables, such as cabbage, spinach, rapeseed, radish, carrot, tomato, cucumber, winter melon, etc., can not only supplement the supply of multiple vitamins and inorganic salts, but also have the functions of clearing phlegm, removing heat, and relieving constipation; soybeans and soy products contain high-quality protein needed by the human body, which can supplement the nutritional loss caused by chronic bronchitis to the body, without the disadvantage of accumulating phlegm and generating heat.

2) Avoid eating seafood or greasy food. Because "fish generates fire and meat generates phlegm", children with chronic bronchitis should eat less yellow croaker, hairtail, shrimp, crab, fatty meat, etc., so as not to add fire to the generation of phlegm.

3) The child’s cough does not heal for a long time, which depletes the vital energy and weakens the lungs and spleen. Therefore, we usually choose foods that can strengthen the spleen, benefit the lungs, nourish the kidneys, regulate qi, and resolve phlegm, such as pork, beef, and sheep lungs, as well as loquat, orange, pear, lily, jujube, lotus seeds, almonds, walnuts, honey, etc., which can help to strengthen the body and improve symptoms.

4) Do not eat irritating food: spicy foods such as chili, pepper, garlic, onion, leek, etc. can irritate the respiratory tract and aggravate symptoms; the seasoning of dishes should not be too salty or too sweet, and the temperature should be moderate.

Drink more vegetable and fruit juice: Fruit and vegetable juice has a good effect on chronic bronchitis. It can not only relieve cough and reduce phlegm, but also supplement vitamins and minerals, which is very beneficial for recovery from the disease. You can chop raw radish, fresh lotus root, and pear into juice, add honey and mix well before drinking. It has significant effect on hot cough and dry cough caused by chronic bronchitis.
