First of all, we should eat lightly. In order to promote the recovery of the waist, most patients with lumbar disc herniation choose to stay in bed, that is, reduce their activities. At this time, the patient's gastrointestinal movement will be reduced accordingly. In order to protect its gastrointestinal function, it is suggested that patients usually eat light and digestible foods to avoid spicy and greasy foods. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, Gu Ge said: Cold food will not only affect gastrointestinal health, but also easily lead to blood stasis and aggravate the condition of patients with lumbar disc herniation.

In addition, Gu Ge suggested that patients with lumbar spondylosis should pay attention to daily calcium supplementation and eat more foods with high calcium content, which can also promote the treatment of lumbar disc herniation to a certain extent. ?

2. Can patients with lumbar disc herniation drink alcohol?

Gu Ge believes that for patients with lumbar disc herniation, drinking a small amount of wine, such as wine and yellow rice wine, can be enjoyed, but not a large amount. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, moderate drinking can promote blood circulation and dredge collaterals, dispel cold and remove arthralgia. In modern medicine, alcohol has an inhibitory effect on human nervous system activities, that is, when patients drink alcohol, they can achieve short-term analgesic effect. Of course, it is not advisable to relieve pain by drinking, and if you want to achieve real analgesic effect, you must drink a lot, then this move is also harmful to the human body. Therefore, patients with lumbar disc herniation can't drink a lot.

3. Can patients with lumbar disc herniation drink coffee and tea?

Coffee contains free fatty acids, caffeine and tannic acid. Drinking coffee is good for eliminating fat, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. But drinking coffee will also reduce the body's absorption of calcium and cause osteoporosis. So Gu Ge thinks it's ok to drink coffee, but at most one cup a day. Drinking tea is beneficial to patients with lumbar disc herniation, because tea contains a variety of mineral elements, including amino acids and alkaloids, tea polyphenols and so on.

These trace elements can improve blood circulation, muscle tension and endurance of patients with spinal pain. In addition, drinking tea can promote the formation of new bones and inhibit bone absorption. Therefore, drinking tea for a long time is very good for your health, but it should be noted here that only light tea is advocated and strong tea is not recommended for middle-aged and elderly friends. ?
