Rest, for hepatitis B patients, is very important and its value even exceeds that of medication. For the onset of hepatitis B, this is undoubtedly true. Rest is the first step of treatment, regardless of whether it is mild or severe, and facilitates disease recovery. In patients with high jaundice, we require absolute bed rest to reduce energy expenditure. For patients in the stable phase, rest is also mandatory. You can go to work normally, but you must pay attention to the work and rest schedule, live regularly, do not stay up late, do not get tired, do not drink alcohol and do not do strenuous exercise. Take a lunch break. For liver disease, what kind of rest is considered real rest? First of all, bed rest, lying down, which is the most beneficial way for the liver to rest. When lying flat, the blood flow to the liver is the most adequate, often keep such a position to rest, can let the liver get the most oxygen supply, maintain the best condition. Second, fully relax and avoid physical and mental work. The liver is the chemical factory of the body, and all energy is produced through its metabolism. When the liver is inflamed and necrotic, energy production is often insufficient to meet the body’s needs, so the body feels weak and tired. For patients in the onset and recovery period, it is important to reduce activity and to nourish the body to ensure recovery. Finally, it is important to eat a light diet with small, frequent meals. This is also considered a measure to let the liver rest. After food is absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract, it has to be metabolized, transformed and synthesized by the liver, so eating too much or greasy will increase the burden on the liver; but if you eat too little, it can aggravate the lack of energy. So generally eat 7 minutes full, increase the number of times you eat, mainly starch, fresh vegetables and fruits, and add easily digestible proteins such as soy products, eggs, lean meat and fish appropriately. Very often, the onset and progress of hepatitis B is related to poor rest. Therefore, friends of hepatitis B, please be sure to pay attention to the science of rest.
