Dietary considerations for Meniere's syndrome

Dizziness and tinnitus are very common among middle-aged and elderly people. Many people think that this is due to the degeneration of body organs with aging. In fact, sometimes this is not the case. These conditions are likely caused by diseases. Therefore, when you always have rotational dizziness or tinnitus for no reason, please be sure to go to the hospital for a check-up to see if it is Meniere's syndrome. When treating Meniere's syndrome, diet is very important. The specific dietary precautions for Meniere's syndrome are as follows:

When we eat, we should pay attention to the fact that people with Meniere's syndrome should have a nutritious diet. The staple food should be rice, millet, corn, flour, soybeans, sorghum rice, etc., and the side dishes should be beef, pork, duck, chicken, milk, goat's milk, fish, tofu, soy milk, etc.

It is better to eat light food and avoid irritating food. When the attack occurs, lie down quietly, avoid being anxious, eat a light and low-salt diet, limit the amount of water intake, and avoid smoking, drinking and tea. During the interval period, patients should be encouraged to exercise, strengthen their physical fitness, and pay attention to proper balance between work and rest.

The membranous labyrinth of people with Meniere's syndrome is often in a state of fluid accumulation, and the physical and chemical characteristics of the endolymph are mostly high in sodium and low in potassium. Therefore, the diet should be "two highs and two lows", that is, a high-protein, high-vitamin, low-fat, low-salt diet, such as lean meat, fresh fish, live poultry, etc., stewed soup frequently, and you can also eat more fruits, leeks, carrots, celery and other high-vitamin vegetables and fruits.

The patient's diet should be light and nutritious. He or she can often eat fish, meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits and other foods. However, fatty and spicy foods (such as fatty meat, tobacco, alcohol, chili peppers, pepper, etc.) are easy to increase heat and consume qi, so they should not be eaten too much. In addition, due to the particularity of this disease, patients are required to eat a low-salt diet and drink less water.

You should treat your illness correctly. Don't take an "indifferent" attitude, but don't be too worried or nervous either. Long-term worry and tension can easily aggravate the autonomic nervous system dysfunction, thereby worsening the patient's condition.

You should maintain an optimistic mood and a comfortable mood, participate in more cultural and entertainment activities, and interact more with relatives, friends and colleagues to eliminate your tension. The patient's bedroom should be clean, quiet and slightly dimmed.
