Pneumonia can be caused by a variety of factors. Patients can increase their intake of foods low in fat (e.g. potatoes, chicken breast), high in quality protein (e.g. milk, goose eggs) and rich in vitamins and minerals (e.g. rape, carrots, kiwi) in their daily lives. It is important to note that diet is only one part of the treatment and the severity of the disease varies from patient to patient, so it is advisable to seek medical advice if you are unwell. Your doctor will be able to advise you on the appropriate treatment plan for your particular case and give you sound dietary advice.
