Asthma patients suffer greatly from the disease. To alleviate their condition and recover their health as soon as possible, patients should take extra care of themselves in their daily lives. So, what are the dietary taboos for asthma patients, and what foods are suitable for them...
1. Use high-quality and sufficient protein, eat more diets rich in vitamins and carbohydrates, and reduce the intake of high-fat foods.
2. Obese patients should reduce their intake of high-fat diets.
3. To alleviate chewing and breathing difficulties caused by shortness of breath, soft or semi-liquid foods can be used.
4. Use less gas-producing foods, such as chives, soybeans, and flour products.
5. Increase fluid intake according to the condition to prevent and correct dehydration, which is very important for patients with fever.
6. Increase the intake of calcium and iron. You can often use pork ribs, radish, and black fungus soup. This soup is nutritious but not greasy and is especially good for asthma patients.
7. Enhance nutrition to improve the body's immunity, while supplementing various minerals, trace elements, and vitamins.
8. Avoid "trigger foods," such as hairtail, yellow croaker, carp, and shrimp from aquatic products; pig's head, chicken head, mutton, dog meat, donkey meat, and horse meat from livestock; chives, celery, bamboo shoots, and autumn eggplant from vegetables; and green onions, garlic, pepper, and wine from condiments.
9. During an acute asthma attack, especially in a continuous state, intravenous nutrition should be considered to prevent and treat malnutrition. Drink as much water as possible to help expel phlegm. At the same time, avoid milk and its products.
10. Eat small meals frequently and do not overeat to avoid aggravating an asthma attack.
