First of all, we should pay attention to the diet of patients with interstitial pneumonia. Our patients have some foods that need to be avoided, mainly avoiding spicy and greasy foods. Spicy food is easy to lose heat and warm. Pneumonia is a fever, which is aggravated by the combination of two fevers. Therefore, pepper, pepper, Sichuan pepper, mustard and wine are all pungent and hot products, and patients should ban them. Most greasy foods belong to warm foods, and the dampness stagnation is phlegm, which produces internal heat, which is not conducive to the early recovery of lung qi.
Second, patients with interstitial pneumonia should also pay attention to some allergic foods. Therefore, patients should make taboos according to their actual situation, avoid alcohol, tobacco and salty food. Most patients with pulmonary fibrosis are accompanied by airway hyperresponsiveness. The stimulation of smoke, wine and salty food can easily lead to bronchial reaction and aggravate symptoms such as cough and asthma.
Third, patients with interstitial pneumonia should eat some healthy fruits. This is good for patients to recover, but patients should not eat warm fruits, such as apricots, peaches, oranges, plums, etc., so as not to help heat and produce phlegm. Eating too much cold fruit will damage the yang of the spleen and stomach, hinder the function of transportation and transformation, and is not conducive to the recovery of the disease.
Fourth, patients with interstitial pneumonia should also drink more water. Experts tell us that some patients with serious illness often lose water due to diseases such as breathing with their mouths open, sweating and eating less, which makes the sputum sticky and difficult to cough up. Therefore, it is of great significance to replenish water in time and increase liquid intake for correcting or preventing water loss.
