Food does not have a therapeutic effect and cannot be used to treat COPD, but dietary habits can be dynamically adjusted according to the condition.
1. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is also called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation, usually related to airway and/or alveolar abnormalities caused by significant exposure to harmful particles or gases. Due to the slow onset and long duration of COPD, there may be no conscious symptoms at the initial stage, but weight loss and loss of appetite may occur at a later stage.
2. Patients with COPD need to make dynamic adjustments to their dietary habits according to the progress of their disease:
(1) Early patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease often have no conscious symptoms, so at this time there is no obvious difference between dietary therapy and regular meals, both to meet the intake of high-quality protein, to ensure the body’s resistance, but also need to supply sufficient calories. Combined diabetes mellitus is recommended to control blood glucose, eat less and more meals, reduce sugar intake.
(2) With the gradual aggravation of the disease, patients may experience chronic cough, sputum, wheezing and chest tightness, as well as shortness of breath or dyspnea. At this time, patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) need to focus on easy-to-digest and light food, avoiding oily and stimulating food, and adding vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables to the food.
For the advanced stage of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, weight loss and loss of appetite, you can slow down the speed of eating, eat less and more meals.
