Dietary considerations for interstitial pneumonia

Interstitial pneumonia, what kind of disease is it? From the word "pneumonia", we can guess that this is a disease related to lung disease. Whether it is really related is not the question we need to explore today. Today, the editor will mainly lead everyone to understand the dietary precautions for interstitial pneumonia to prevent conflicts between the disease and diet.

Dietary tips for interstitial pneumonia:

1. Eat less spicy, fried and other irritating and greasy foods: It is better to eat light food in normal times, especially for obese patients, the fat supply should be low. It is better to eat lean meat to eliminate phlegm and dampness and properly control body weight. Spicy and fried foods can easily produce phlegm, which can lead to heat and pathogenic heat. The pathogenic heat is trapped inside the body and cannot reach the lungs. Over time, it can cause rapid heat to attack the lungs and aggravate the condition.

2. Choose food in a targeted manner according to your daily physical condition: Patients with interstitial pneumonia should not only pay attention to the effects of the cold, hot, warm and cool properties of food on their condition, but also grasp the characteristics of food, choose food, arrange a good diet, avoid accidentally eating food that causes physical discomfort, and induce or aggravate the condition. Follow the doctor's advice for details.

3. Eat small meals frequently and eat foods that are high in high-quality protein, calories, and vitamins. For example: eggs, animal liver, brown rice, cornmeal, buckwheat noodles, fruits and vegetables, etc., and more fungus, seaweed, kelp, mushrooms, etc. can be given.

4. Drink more water: Patients with severe interstitial pneumonia often lose water due to mouth breathing, sweating a lot, and eating less, and their sputum becomes thick and difficult to cough up. Therefore, timely replenishment of water and increasing fluid intake are very important for correcting or preventing water loss. Encourage patients to drink plenty of fluids. If the patient is unable to eat or drink, intravenous fluids can be used to dilute the sputum. Patients with heart failure should drink water in moderation.

To sum up, there are four dietary precautions for interstitial pneumonia. The editor would like to provide you with some additional knowledge. Although diet is only one of the points that need to be paid attention to when a disease occurs, and its status is not that "noble", it is something we cannot ignore. Don't wait until your unreasonable diet makes the disease worse before you regret it.
