My tuberculosis has been cured. Why am I still so thin?
It doesn't matter whether a tuberculosis patient is fat or thin. It is important that routine chemotherapy and diet adjustment are a chronic wasting disease. Besides medication and proper rest, diet adjustment is also very important for patients. Due to long-term low fever and increased consumption, the catabolism of protein is obviously accelerated, and protein stored in the liver will also be consumed, so it is easy to have a negative nitrogen balance. The patient showed emaciation and poor resistance. Because protein is the main raw material for repairing tuberculosis lesions, tuberculosis patients must eat a high-protein diet. Generally speaking, lean meat, milk, eggs, poultry, fish, shrimp and bean products are rich in high-quality protein. Patients generally don't limit their intake of carbohydrates during the recovery period, but their intake of fat should not be too much. Patients often lack vitamin C and B vitamins and should be supplemented in large quantities. Because all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamin C; Cereals, beans, yeast, all kinds of dried fruits and nuts, animal viscera, lean meat and eggs are rich in vitamin B1; Various animal viscera, eggs, milk, beans and green vegetables, eels, shrimps and crabs are rich in vitamin b2. Therefore, patients with pulmonary tuberculosis should pay attention to eating more of the above foods. Insomnia patients should eat foods rich in iron and copper, such as lean meat, pork liver, egg yolk, clams, shellfish, shrimp, crab, sesame, beans, spinach and so on. Shellfish food is not only beneficial to sleep, but also plays an auxiliary role in the treatment of tuberculosis. In addition, drinking a cup of honey water or hot milk and lotus seed soup before going to bed every day can help patients fall asleep safely and quickly. Patients with hemoptysis should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables such as oranges, red dates and strawberries rich in vitamin C, but should not eat sour juice and spicy, fried and overheated food to avoid inducing hemoptysis. When the condition is severe and dyspnea occurs, improper diet will aggravate the symptoms or cause vomiting. Therefore, such patients should drink non-irritating beverages, try to avoid eating spicy and spicy condiments, and never drink carbonated drinks to avoid excessive carbon dioxide production and reduce the intake of fatty foods. Patients with loss of appetite should have a regular diet. Appropriate cooking methods and food types should be arranged according to patients' preferences, such as adding a little vinegar or eating light cold dishes when cooking food, which can increase patients' appetite. Patients with severe cough in acute stage should not eat cold food or food that is too spicy and sweet. In addition, tremella rock sugar porridge, black sesame porridge, lotus seed lily stewed lean meat and so on.
