Nutrition for people with hepatitis B virus

  The main nutritional problem of hepatitis B virus carriers is nutritional imbalance. Carriers with good economic conditions generally suffer from excess energy caused by excessive protein and fat intake and relative deficiency of various vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Excess protein for energy supply will produce many harmful effects, which can increase the burden on the liver and increase the production of toxins in the body, and the excess energy will also form a fatty liver, which is another big disaster for the liver. The lack of various vitamins, minerals and trace elements can lead to a decrease in the body’s immunity, resulting in an imbalance in the body’s ecological internal environment and poor microcirculation, all of which are detrimental to the protection of the liver and the removal of viruses from the body.  Protein malnutrition is common among economically disadvantaged carriers, and many are also accompanied by various vitamin and trace element deficiencies, which also cause a decrease in the body’s immunity. In fact, nature provides us with very rich foods, and it is possible to achieve a balanced diet without spending too much money.  Soy foods can replace meat, fresh vegetables can replace fruits, potatoes and coarse grains are the healthiest foods, and wild vegetables are especially nutritious, all without spending a lot of money.  Some nutrients are very easy and commonly deficient, they are vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, calcium, zinc, selenium, iodine, etc.. These nutrients are very important for maintaining the immune function of the body, and most of them are found in foods such as coarse grains, legumes, mushroom vegetables, milk, seafood and animal liver.  With the improvement of economic conditions, eating has become a kind of enjoyment, and more and more people are obsessed with refined foods and aromatic animal foods such as chicken, duck and fish, and the minerals and trace elements in the earth soil are gradually depleted, especially zinc and selenium deficiency is very serious, and there are more and more malnourished people, which is also a nutritional problem for hepatitis B virus carriers.  Blind consumption of health care products is also a major nutritional problem for people with hepatitis B virus. If you can achieve a balanced diet, the supply of various nutrients can meet the needs of the body, but also eat rich plant active substances, there is no need to supplement nutritional supplements. If too much of a certain nutrient is supplemented, it will cause an imbalance of various nutrients, which is harmful to health.  However, many people cannot reach the goal of a balanced diet and do need nutritional supplements. The basis of supplementation is lack, so we must understand what nutrients we lack, choose nutraceuticals according to the type and quantity of the lacking nutrients, and choose natural and completely plant-based nutraceuticals, try not to choose chemically synthesized products, not to choose nutraceuticals that can increase the burden of liver detoxification, and do not blindly supplement.
