Dietary nutrition for tuberculosis patients Tuberculosis is a chronic wasting disease. Besides medication and proper rest, it is also important for patients to pay attention to diet regulation. Due to long-term low fever and excessive consumption, protein's catabolism is enhanced, so that protein stored in the liver will also be consumed, which is very prone to negative nitrogen balance, leading to emaciation and decreased resistance. Because the repair of tuberculosis focus depends on protein as raw material, it is necessary to provide high-protein diet for tuberculosis patients, and it is generally appropriate to provide 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. Lean meat, milk, eggs, poultry, fish and shrimp, beans and bean products are all available foods containing high-quality protein. In the diet of tuberculosis patients, carbohydrates can be unrestricted, but fat intake should not be too high. Because vitamin C and B vitamins in patients often decrease, we should pay attention to giving adequate supplements. Vitamin c 200 ~ 300mg, vitamin b _ 13 ~ 5mg and vitamin b _ 2 1.5 ~ 2mg can be supplemented daily. Vitamin C is widely found in all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits. Foods rich in vitamin B_ 1 include cereals, yeast, dried fruits and nuts, animal viscera, lean meat and eggs. Vitamin B_2 mainly comes from various animal foods, especially animal viscera, eggs and milk, followed by beans, green leafy vegetables, shrimps and crabs. If patients suffer from insomnia, they should eat foods rich in iron and copper, such as lean meat, pork liver, egg yolk, clams, shellfish, shrimp, sesame, beans and spinach. Eating more clams, shellfish and shrimp is not only beneficial to sleep, but also can treat tuberculosis. Because clams, shellfish and squid contain more taurine and betaine, they have certain curative effects on night sweats and expectoration of tuberculosis patients. In addition, it is advisable to take 50 grams of honey, a cup of warm water or a cup of hot milk before going to bed, which can help patients fall asleep safely and quickly. Patients with hemoptysis should eat more fruits rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, red dates and strawberries, but should not eat too much sour juice and spicy, fried and overheated food. People who have difficulty breathing, if they don't eat properly, will aggravate their symptoms and easily cause vomiting. Therefore, patients should drink non-irritating drinks, eat less high-fat diet, use less spicy spices and never drink carbonated drinks. Patients with loss of appetite should eat regularly and regularly, and arrange cooking methods and food types according to patients' preferences. Patients with short course of disease and severe cough should not eat cold, spicy and too sweet food, because the digestive tract is often aggravated by its stimulation. In addition, tuberculosis patients often eat tremella rock sugar porridge, black sesame porridge, lotus seed lily stewed lean meat and so on. As a dietotherapy method for strengthening the body, moistening the lungs and intestines, eliminating phlegm and relieving cough, it is also very beneficial to the treatment of tuberculosis.
