The diet of patients with pulmonary nodules should be based on light diet, balanced nutrition, avoiding high salt, high fat, spicy and cold, etc. Usually, they should have a regular diet, appropriate exercise, regular review, and dynamic observation of changes in the size of the nodules. If you feel unwell, you should go to a regular medical institution for consultation and follow the doctor’s instructions for active treatment.
Lung nodules are lesions with a diameter of not more than 30mm in the lungs, and most patients do not have obvious clinical symptoms except for the increased density of shadows on lung imaging. Because irritating foods can irritate the upper respiratory tract, there is a risk of upper respiratory tract infections, and long-term upper respiratory tract infections may affect the lungs, thus aggravating pulmonary nodules.
In addition lung nodule patients diet should pay attention to nutritional balance, meat and vegetables, in addition to the intake of eggs, meat and other protein-rich food. Eat less salted vegetables, bacon and other cured foods to avoid excessive nitrite intake, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables as well as some foods rich in high protein.
