It is said that toothache is not a disease, but it hurts like hell. In fact, this sentence also applies to lumbar disc herniation. Lumbar disc herniation, some people may not get out of bed after a few days of illness. Besides active treatment, keeping warm and resting, we should also pay attention to health and diet. I offer my friends some tips on diet therapy for your reference.

What should lumbar disc herniation make up?

Take more cellulose

Vitamin E has the functions of dilating blood vessels, promoting blood flow and relieving muscle tension, and is used for relieving pain. The fibrous ring of intervertebral disc is composed of connective tissue, and the formation of connective tissue is inseparable from vitamin C. To form a solid fibrous ring, vitamin C is essential. Foods rich in cellulose include celery, fungus, bamboo shoots, apples and bananas. They can keep their stools open. You can eat more before and after the operation and during the recovery period. In order to keep the stool unobstructed, you can also drink some light honey water or light salt water in the morning.

Appropriate protein supplement

Protein is an indispensable nutrient for the formation of muscles, ligaments and bones. To supplement protein, it is best to choose foods rich in high-quality protein. Protein is rich in food including pork, chicken, beef, liver, fish, shellfish, cheese, eggs, soybeans and bean products. Protein's daily supplement should be around 100- 150g.

Eat more foods with high calcium content.

Calcium can enhance bone strength, muscle strength and improve recovery function. In the usual diet, patients with lumbar disc herniation should eat more foods with high calcium content, such as milk, dairy products, dried shrimps, kelp, sesame sauce and bean products. Eating regularly is beneficial to supplementing calcium and improving nutritional structure.

Eat less and eat more fruits and vegetables.

Patients with lumbar disc herniation have reduced their activities due to illness, so their dietary intake should be reduced appropriately, especially in patients in bed at acute stage. In addition to reduced activities, their digestive function has also decreased significantly, and their gastrointestinal peristalsis is slow. Therefore, eat more vegetables, fruits and beans.

In a word, it is a kind of food that can maintain a balanced nutrition. Calcium, protein, vitamin B, vitamin C and vitamin E are indispensable. Finally, I wish you a speedy recovery!
