Patient's question:
During the company's health check-up, I was carefully diagnosed with hepatitis B. Every year during the health check-up, I didn't have this condition. My constitution has never been very good. After being diagnosed with hepatitis B, I feel that my body has declined significantly. What should I eat to boost my immunity?Doctor's answer:
Patients with hepatitis B should follow a light diet. Generally, heavily seasoned foods such as fried and spicy dishes are difficult to digest and are high in fat while low in vitamins, putting pressure on the liver. It is best to avoid them. Light foods like soy products, fish, vegetables, corn, tubers, and fruits contain abundant amounts of vitamin C, B vitamins, vitamin A, vitamin E, and fiber, which have strong antioxidant properties. They can enhance the liver's ability to metabolize and decompose cells and are easier to digest and absorb.When patients face the challenges of hepatitis B, we should promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment and should not avoid seeking medical attention. If the hepatitis B condition does not improve with treatment, it is essential to change the treatment plan in a timely manner.
