It is a painful thing to suffer from chronic diseases. A depressed state of mind will lead to aggravation of the disease; poor protection of oneself in daily life will also easily aggravate the disease. How to carry out psychological adjustment and daily life care, what to eat, what not to eat, what physical exercises can be performed, what life details help the disease recovery …… are things that are very worthy of patients’ attention. Only a healthy and positive attitude, with formal treatment, complemented by good habits and appropriate physical exercise, can make their own faster recovery. The dietary principles of rheumatism: what food can be eaten and what food cannot be eaten are the most important concerns in our daily lives. We tell you some dietary principles: 1, nutrition should be abundant Do not deliberately refuse this or that food, because a variety of food together can be coordinated with each other in order to balance nutrition, so you can also taste a variety of delicious, is not a very happy thing. 2. Keep your weight within the normal range Excessive weight can put an unnecessary burden on your joints. Please avoid eating too much sugar and drinking too much alcohol, both of which are not nutritious and will make you gain weight. 3. Choose foods that contain less saturated fat and cholesterol Saturated fat and cholesterol are not healthy elements. Avoid fried foods. Choose low-fat milk or skim milk. Try to eat less ice cream. 4. Eat a diet with plenty of vegetables, fruits and cereals 5. Don’t eat overly salty foods Salt can cause water to accumulate in the body, thus causing an increase in blood pressure. 6. Make the habit of drinking plenty of water. Sufficient water can enhance the function of the intestinal tract and help the body excrete the metabolism of drugs. For patients with systemic erythema, certain foods, such as celery and figs containing psoralen, mushrooms containing hydrazine group, smoked food, alfalfa seeds and pods containing L-cabbage can induce lupus erythematosus and should be avoided as much as possible. 8. Patients with dry syndrome should eat more foods that nourish yin and clear heat and produce body fluid such as loofah, celery, red stemmed vegetables, yellow cauliflower, wolfberry head, light vegetables and other cool foods. Fruits such as watermelon, sweet orange, fresh pear, fresh lotus root, etc., can also be sweet and cold to produce fluid. Those who have dry mouth and tongue can often contain plums, Tibetan green fruit, or often drink lime juice, lemon juice and other thirst-quenching drinks. Should avoid eating spicy and hot drinks and food, to prevent dryness and injury, aggravating the disease. Rheumatism rehabilitation exercise: The results of a joint survey of several foreign hospitals show that rheumatoid arthritis patients for strength exercises and low-intensity aerobic exercises, to improve the symptoms of the effect is very significant. Patients who received training felt a significant improvement in mental status, joint function was restored to a certain extent, so doctors believe that patients actively exercise for the recovery of the disease, improve the quality of life has an important significance. The forms of rehabilitation exercises include joint exercises, muscle exercises and endurance exercises: Joint exercises: These are exercises in which the joints perform various movements, such as rotation, flexion, extension, etc., within the maximum range of movement allowed. This exercise includes the movement of each joint in all directions. The purpose is to relieve the stiffness of the joints, reduce pain, maintain joint flexibility, and improve joint function. Muscle exercises: Muscle exercises not only increase strength, but also reduce muscle fatigue and play a role in stabilizing the joints. Exercises for endurance: mainly refers to aerobic exercises. It refers to a number of low-intensity, long-duration continuous exercise, including walking, slow walking, swimming, gymnastics, cycling, etc.. According to a Dutch experiment on exercise therapy, it was found that such dynamic exercises would not only increase joint mobility but also increase physical fitness. Traditional qigong, taijiquan, bajinjian and gymnastics are all very good forms of exercise. Mental health: Changes in the psychological aspects of a patient are related to his or her past personality, illness, duration of illness, efficacy, economic strength, social status, family relationships, etc. I believe there are many patients will have such and such experience: just the onset of the disease, whether diagnosed or not, but as soon as you hear the doctor said that the disease is not yet curable, so began to seek medical treatment around, as soon as you hear where to treat, make up for the long distance, make up for the expensive cost, to find the “true”; or read a lot of medical books, the more you look at the results The more scared, such as suffering from a terminal illness, all day long, fear and anxiety. Because rheumatism itself is a chronic disease, easy to relapse, a variety of uncomfortable symptoms often affect the normal life, study and work. Imagine what it is like to be an energetic person who can now only sit or lie down, unable to carry out normal work and life. So now some patients will be sensitive, suspicious, easily agitated, anxious, depressed and even paranoid, etc. This psychological disorder is not conducive to the recovery of the disease. Therefore, it should be recognized that rheumatism is a long-term chronic process, should maintain a relaxed mood and a positive attitude towards life. Besides, rheumatism is not a terminal disease, and most of them can be controlled after systematic treatment.
