Cirrhosis is a common liver disease and dietary requirements for higher, if poor diet will be worse. So this New Year, how can we let them get comprehensive nutrition, while also alleviate the condition?
1. Make sure the 3 meals, eating the right amount
Because of impaired liver function, the ability to store nutrients greatly reduced, and therefore, patients with cirrhosis need to increase the food intake to maintain the body's energy consumption, but blindly overeating not desirable, we recommend that patients must ensure that at least 3 per day meal.
Eat small snacks between meals several times, but not too much. If the patient's weight is large, you should try to avoid eating too much high-fat food high and if the patient's body than the weight loss, you should eat more high-energy food, especially before going to bed to eat a little snack, to ensure that the body during sleep energy consumption.
2. cooked food is better, do not eat cold
Comparison of patients with cirrhosis susceptible to food-borne infection, so patients must eat cooked food, especially organ meats, seafood and poultry. In addition, patients should not drink overnight or unpasteurized milk and juice.
3. The basis weight, quantitative protein intake
Cirrhotic patients usually need at least 60gm daily intake of protein to maintain the body's nitrogen balance and muscle mass, but do not a one-time intake of too much, otherwise the body to bear.
Therefore, we recommend that patients should be the case according to their weight (1kg of body weight 1.2gm of protein), multiple times a day adequate intake of protein.
Patients can get a variety of ways by proteins, including beef, pork, fish, poultry, eggs and milk, while many vegetables are rich in protein, such as beans.
4. strict control of salt, potassium intake
Cirrhotic patients should limit the intake of salt and water, otherwise easily lead to edema and ascites, and once with edema and ascites, the patient vulnerable to infection, and even lead to death, we can see how to control salt intake is important.
Patients suffering from liver cirrhosis and ascites edema or total daily salt intake should not exceed 2000mg. Typically, fresh food in low salt content, and processed meats, canned products (such as ham, sausage, bacon, pickles, etc.) will be high salinity, patients should avoid eating these foods, milk and cheese salt not low, patients should not eat too much.
If the patient's daily salt intake more than 2000mg, not only easily lead to edema or ascites, but also may lead to renal failure. In addition, patients should not eat whole grain foods in a restaurant, even if you want to eat, it is best to do their own home, less salt on it.
Of course, in order to improve the taste, the patient can add some natural spices or seasoning in dishes.
If the patient is taking several medications, including spironolactone, triamterene or amiloride, then do not eat potassium-containing salt substitutes, because this substance can increase the levels of potassium in the body , resulting in cardiac arrest and even death.
5. Multi-vitamin supplements, ask the doctor something
Overall, taking multivitamins and vitamin supplements for patients with liver cirrhosis is a good choice, with the exception of vitamin a, as it may have toxic effects on the liver.
And if patients with higher levels of iron in the body, so do not overdose vitamin c, because excess iron causes cirrhosis of further deterioration, and therefore vitamin iron elements must be carefully administered. As for vitamin e, which is a beneficial antidote to the liver, it can be appropriate to take, but remember moderation.
Of course, before taking any herbal, vitamin and vitamin supplements, be sure to seek medical advice, and in no acute disease chaotic administration.
