Almost one in every 10 Chinese people has hepatitis B carriers. I’m afraid there are relatives and friends around you who have been recruited. In the face of hepatitis B, some people worry that others despise it:
Today, starting from diet, we will discuss the healthy living habits that are most suitable for hepatitis B patients.
The diet for nourishing and protecting liver is simple but not casual.
Balanced intake of nutrition, control of appropriate water and calories, on this basis, with the liver condition to make certain adjustments, hepatitis B patients’ dietary rules are not very special, but in the past, the daily bad eating habits, big fish and big meat what, have to be changed.
Sugar
The main source of calories for the human body is sugar (rice, noodles, potatoes). Don’t be too full, you can avoid obesity, and of course you should also avoid weight loss caused by dieting. It is a good choice to replace refined rice flour with coarse grains rich in cellulose.
Protein
Proteins form the basis of various functions of the body, Supplementing high-quality proteins such as fish, poultry, milk and beans helps to combat the consumption of chronic diseases. One cup of milk, one egg, and livestock meat with fish and shrimp are just three or four taels a day. At the same time, the protein in food is digested and ingested, and depends on the synthetic function of the liver to become a part of the body, so excessive intake will also increase the burden on the liver.
Fat
Control the total amount of oily food, On the light side, Fry less. Excessive fat intake, obesity and health hazards have been recognized. We often hear that choices rich in unsaturated fatty acids such as olive oil are beneficial to our health. It is indeed reasonable. It is important to note that we should not eat or eat less other oils and eat [high quality oil], but we should not eat more high quality oil, no more than about 2 tablespoons (30 g) of oil per day.
Vitamins
The latest dietary guidelines for residents suggest that 300-500 g of vegetables and 200-350 g of fruits should be taken every day, which is also helpful for chronic diseases. There is no need to take all kinds of supplements in order to [supplement] vitamins. Dietary sources can generally meet the needs, and the liver is also very tired of metabolizing so many excessive things.
Water
[Water is the source of life] Yes, when the body is short of water, there will be various discomforts. In addition to the water in food, you usually need to drink nearly one hot kettle of water every day (large bottled beverage bottles, about 1.5 ~ 2L).
However, for those patients with chronic hepatitis with ascites, lower limb edema and other symptoms, it is necessary to limit water intake.
Salt
Food with high salt content can also lead to water and sodium retention, which will aggravate edema. In order to control water content, you can reduce seasonings such as salt and soy sauce for cooking, and eat less snacks with high salt content such as canned food, bacon and potato chips. Excessive salt and heavy taste are also harmful to ordinary people and must also be avoided.
Alcohol
Needless to say, it is a good habit to consider the risks of alcohol and avoid alcoholic beverages. The same is true for people without hepatitis.
What is the difficulty of liver protection diet?
From the above detailed analysis, we know that there is not much difference in diet attention between patients with chronic hepatitis B and healthy people. Balanced and comprehensive diet is not so difficult to achieve. The difficulty lies in resisting temptation and persistence.
If you often make excuses on a whim and offer hospitality, eat more of this and drink more of that, it is impossible to protect the liver. If you spend too much energy on folk remedies and dietotherapy, it is not conducive to the formation of long-term reliable habits and is easy to go astray.
These practices are wrong!
Eat as usual without symptoms.
Because hepatitis B virus is often like a silent killer, many patients with stable condition or people who do not know that they carry the virus have no obvious symptoms, so it is easy to go their own way in life, especially in eating habits. Unconsciously, hepatitis B often develops into severe hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and even liver cancer.
Looking for secret recipe makes a detour.
Many patients or their families always ask [Is there anything what should pay attention to when eating? ], this is not surprising, but because of too much concern or bad publicity, there are always many people who believe in all kinds of food supplements and deviate from the correct diet focus according to hearsay [health preserving] methods.
What I want to tell you is that many hepatitis B virus carriers can work and study normally. Everyone can treat their hard liver well and protect it well, which can prolong their life. Why not?
