Patient's question:
I have always had problems with cor pulmonale. Because of this disease, I have stabilized my daily habits and routines quite a bit, and many bad habits have also changed. I want to know what kind of food is good for the body when suffering from cor pulmonale?Doctor's answer:
Chronic cor pulmonale is a chronic wasting disease. Patients with chronic cor pulmonale should pay close attention to their diet, enhance nutrition, and consume more high-protein and vitamin-rich foods, which helps boost the body's resistance. Recommended foods include fish, eggs, milk, fresh vegetables, and fruits. Patients with this disease should also pay attention to rest and avoid overexertion. With changes in the weather, clothing should be adjusted accordingly. The diet for chronic cor pulmonale patients should be light and vegetarian. As the saying goes, "fish causes fire, meat causes phlegm, and vegetables and carrots always keep safe." Many health secrets of long-lived people in the world today are vegetarian. Patients with chronic cor pulmonale have poor physical strength, limited exercise, and are prone to constipation. Additionally, due to impaired absorption function, meat is not easily digested.
