Do AIDS patients have any dietary taboos? Pay attention to these three points in AIDS diet

AIDS is an immune system disease caused by the destruction of HIV virus, which is very difficult to treat, but patients must take medicine in strict accordance with the doctor's instructions, and recuperate in life to extend the survival period.

How do people with AIDS eat?

1. Eat more foods rich in vitamins

AIDS patients suffer from malnutrition due to poor absorption or reduced diet. When the body lacks vitamins, it will affect the immune function and speed up the development of the disease. Vitamin D guides cells to self feed, which enhances their ability to resist bacteria and inhibit virus replication. Spend 30 minutes in the sun every day.

Vitamin E belongs to the category of antioxidant substances and also belongs to the category of immune modulators. In cases of insufficient body condition, it can lead to the development of the disease, thereby reducing the therapeutic effect of drugs. Vitamin C is an essential vitamin for the immune system. If lacking, immune function will decrease and the virus will continue to replicate.

When vitamin A is insufficient, the adhesion rate between the mucosa and skin decreases, making it prone to infection and leading to an increase in mortality rate. Insufficient levels of vitamin B2 and vitamin B6 can affect immune function, reduce patient survival, and also cause neurological related symptoms. Therefore, eat more foods rich in vitamins, mainly obtained from green leafy vegetables and fruits.

2. Avoid eating cold and greasy foods

AIDS patients are prone to diarrhea, the number of defecation significantly increased, containing undigested food and mucus. These people should supplement their diet with minerals and vitamins, and choose tomato juice and fruit juice. Replenish with sufficient water and foods containing potassium ions, such as meat, fish, bananas, and potatoes, and avoid eating raw, cold, and semi cooked foods.

3. Eat on time

Infection and medicine will make patients vomit. If they eat too little or do not eat, their condition will become more and more serious. You can use a small amount of low-fat food to restrain them. You can also choose dry food such as biscuits or Mantou. Don't lie down immediately after eating. A one hour interval is required. If you feel weak all over, you can lie down and sit down. After dinner, loosen your belt and breathe more fresh air. In addition, the principle of using small amounts multiple times can also be adopted to avoid eating spicy and caffeinated foods.

Warm reminder

AIDS patients should do a good job in nutritional support, promote protein synthesis, improve the immune system, preserve energy in the body, maintain normal organ operation, and improve the quality of life. To face up to the disease and avoid excessive psychological burden.
