Food, clothing, housing and transportation for hepatitis B patients
When we talk about food, clothing, housing and transportation, we are generally referring to people’s daily life, which seems to be normal but is very important. It is especially important for hepatitis B patients because it plays an important role in the recovery or development of their disease. Taking good care of clothing, food, housing and transportation is one of the important factors to ensure that the liver lives in peace for a long time. What should the clothing, food, housing and transportation of hepatitis B patients be like?
The main function of clothes is to protect the body from cold and warmth, do not pursue beautiful and “beautiful freezing”, pay attention to the climate change and increase or decrease clothing to avoid cold and cold. Some respiratory viruses can cause liver damage in addition to respiratory lesions. Wei Ping, Department of Infection, Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital
Food Advocate a light, high protein, vitamin-rich diet, such as milk, eggs, lean meat, vegetables, fruits, etc. Do not be partial, nutrition should be diversified, try to eat fresh, original food, so that the food can ensure that the nutrients do not deteriorate, but also will not cause harm to the body due to food additives. Some people pursue lightness and eat only radish and cabbage, resulting in a serious lack of protein, hypoproteinemia, which is not conducive to the repair of liver inflammation. Of course, special circumstances should be treated, such as cirrhotic edema patients need a low-salt diet; liver coma to control protein diet; jaundiced patients try not to eat oranges, because oranges are rich in carotene, long-term eating oranges can make a large number of carotene into the body, the liver can not completely metabolize its processing, so that the concentration of carotene in the blood is too high, it will be deposited in the skin stratum corneum, so that The skin appears yellow, that is, eating a lot of oranges will increase the burden on the liver and aggravate jaundice. Avoid drinking alcohol, the main component of alcohol is ethanol, ethanol into the liver cells, the role of enzymes to form acetaldehyde, acetaldehyde has obvious toxic side effects on liver cells, leading to degeneration and necrosis of liver cells.
Housing Indoor air must be kept clear. Get up on time, ensure sleep, do not stay up all night, and never play cards or surf the Internet all night long. Staying up late and not resting well are often important reasons why liver function is difficult to return to normal.
Row Hepatitis B patients with basically normal liver function pay attention to the combination of work and rest, the amount of effort, if long-term exercise less, obesity is prone to fatty liver, but also will be detrimental to the condition. Patients with severe hepatitis should absolutely rest in bed, acute jaundice and chronic hepatitis active period to rest, because lying in bed can increase the blood supply to the liver, which is conducive to the repair of the liver.
The liver is one of the main detoxification organs of the body, and most of the drugs that enter the body are metabolized by the liver, i.e., the unreasonable use of drugs, as well as the excessive use of certain drugs, will increase the burden on the liver and lead to liver damage. Moreover, many drugs have obvious toxic effects on the liver, such as the central nervous system drugs chlorpromazine and valium, the antipyretic and analgesic drugs indomethacin, bactrim, acetaminophen, salicylic acid, antibiotics tetracycline, erythromycin and so on. Hepatitis B patients try to avoid using drugs that damage the liver, please read the drug instructions carefully before using the drug to understand the toxic side effects of the drug, you can also tell your doctor about your hepatitis B condition, which is less important, the doctor will use the drug reasonably according to the condition. In addition, there are some misconceptions in the treatment of liver disease: some patients take liver protection drugs for a long time when the liver function is normal, thinking that the use of liver protection drugs will ensure that the liver does not have problems; other patients use a variety of liver protection drugs at the same time when the liver function is not normal, thinking that the more liver protection drugs used, the faster the recovery of the disease. These are all abuses of liver protection drugs, which are harmful to the condition.
