What patients with the new coronavirus should not eat

Novel coronavirus pneumonia may mostly present with respiratory symptoms, fever, and cough. If pneumonia is severe, chest tightness and shortness of breath may occur, requiring bed rest and increased nutritional support. A certain food has not been found to affect recovery from new coronavirus pneumonia. According to the experience in the treatment of other respiratory diseases, some patients have decreased appetite and digestive function during bed rest, so they should try to avoid eating greasy food, avoid drinking a lot of alcohol and other diet harmful to the body, and avoid overeating. During the isolation period, rest time should be ensured, avoid staying up late, consume high-protein and high-nutrition food, and avoid eating too greasy food; secondary infections should be prevented during the recovery period, and good physical condition should be ensured. Encourage patients to eat more vegetables, fruits, lean meat, porridge, eggs, milk, soy milk, etc. to ensure adequate nutrition and physical strength. Novel coronavirus pneumonia itself can heal on its own and can recover earlier and faster if in good physical condition. Content source: Dr. You Lai
