In fact, many people are diagnosed with pulmonary nodules during physical examination. According to statistics, about 30% people found pulmonary nodules during physical examination. Most lung nodules are benign, and only about 2% lung nodules are malignant.
Generally speaking, if the nodule diameter is less than 5mm, it is likely to be benign. Therefore, as long as the doctor says it is benign, you can relax your mind, pay more attention to conditioning yourself and review it on time.
However, don't take it lightly. In life, sum up the reasons and correct bad eating habits, especially some foods can no longer be eaten. There are nodules in the lungs. Don't serve three kinds of food:
fried chicken
People with lung nodules cannot eat fried chicken. Because fried chicken is a kind of fried food, it is difficult to be digested by human body, which not only increases the burden on the stomach, but also affects the absorption of nutrients. If the human body is undernourished, it will aggravate the condition and affect the rehabilitation of pulmonary nodules. Therefore, don't eat fried food, including fried chicken.
Preserved food
Although most pulmonary nodules are benign, if they are not controlled, they may worsen or even become cancerous. Therefore, for some foods that are easy to cause cancer, they can no longer be served on the table. For example, because of the processing technology, pickled food contains a lot of carcinogens. Therefore, people with pulmonary nodules must eat less and try not to eat pickled food.
At the same time, because the pickled food is not nutritious, it is not helpful for the recovery of pulmonary nodules.
high purine foods
In life, there are many foods with high purine content, such as bone soup, seafood and lettuce. High purine food can't be eaten not only by people with high uric acid, but also by people with pulmonary nodules. Because if you eat a lot of high purine food, it will affect the immune system while raising uric acid, thus aggravating the condition of pulmonary nodules and making it difficult to recover pulmonary nodules.
In addition to the food mentioned above, we should eat less. There are still some foods in life that are conducive to the recovery of pulmonary nodules, so we should eat more at ordinary times.
Drink plenty of water
The lungs like humidity. Drinking more water can promote lung function, promote metabolism and help the excretion of harmful substances in the lungs. You can add some herbs while drinking water.
In addition, eating these three foods regularly in life helps to loosen the nodules:
Chinese yam
Many people think that yam is a kind of food for nourishing the stomach. In fact, yam has the function of moistening lung and resolving phlegm. People with pulmonary nodules can eat more yam at ordinary times, which helps to loosen nodules, improve lung health and avoid nodules.
edible white fungus
In life, eating more red dates, tremella and lotus seed soup has a cosmetic effect, so it is more popular with women. In fact, its lung moistening effect is also very good. In daily life, if you want to keep your lungs healthy, you can usually eat more tremella. In addition, tremella can also help alleviate the symptoms of pulmonary nodules, which has the effect of dispersing nodules.
sweet potato
As a very good coarse grain, sweet potato is very popular. Can supplement a large number of essential nutrients for the human body. In fact, sweet potato also has a very good effect of dispersing nodules, especially quercetin in sweet potato, which is very beneficial to dissipate lung nodules. In addition, quercetin also has a certain anti-inflammatory effect, especially for nodules caused by inflammation. Therefore, it is recommended to eat steamed sweet potatoes at ordinary times, and you can also cook porridge with sweet potatoes, which has a good effect.
