Patient's question:
What foods are good for patients with pulmonary fibrosis?Doctor's answer:
Patients with pulmonary fibrosis should pay attention to their daily diet and lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle is beneficial for gradual recovery. When it comes to dinner, it is advisable to eat lightly. Especially for patients who are already overweight, they can consume some lean meat but avoid fatty meat. Controlling weight is also a very important aspect. It is beneficial for patients to develop the habit of drinking plenty of water, as it helps those who sometimes breathe through their mouths due to thick and difficult-to-cough-up phlegm. It is important to prevent illnesses like colds. Patients should eat more light foods, fruits, and vegetables, drink plenty of water, and avoid spicy, sour, hot, and fried foods. Foods like eggs, fish, and shrimp, which can easily trigger asthma, are also best avoided.
