A friend recently experienced poor appetite, overall weakness, nausea and vomiting, jaundice, and abdominal pain. They also dislike greasy foods. Upon careful examination, it was found to be hepatitis B. Hepatitis B patients should consume lean meat, fish, eggs, beans (including bean products), milk, vegetables, fruits, vegetable oils, and staple foods like rice and noodles, while eating small meals frequently. Foods to avoid include greasy fried foods,, and those containing additives as well as fruits and vegetables contaminated with pesticides. Alcohol consumption is strictly prohibited. In addition to timely treatment for hepatitis B, patients should maintain a positive attitude towards the disease. Only in this way can their immunity and the belief in fighting the disease be reduced. At the same time, they should pay close attention to dietary care, focus on balanced nutrition, and ensure proper digestion of nutrients, believing that this will definitely drive away hepatitis B.
