Patient's question:
My grandmother has rheumatism. This weekend, I'm going to her house, and I don't know what to buy for her. So, I'd like to ask what dietary restrictions are there for rheumatism?Doctor's answer:
Patients with rheumatism should best reduce contact with dampness and cold winds and maintain a dry environment at all times. They should also pay attention to dietary habits and hygiene, eating plenty of fresh vegetables and maintaining cleanliness. Mainly, they should avoid eating roosters, catfish, and beef. In addition to cold foods, they should also avoid many stimulating foods, such as spicy foods and fried foods, as much as possible. Additionally, they should consume less sweet foods, alcohol, and beverages like coffee and tea. Instead, they should eat more high-quality, high-protein foods, trace elements, and various vitamins. Pay attention to keeping the body warm. Engage in sufficient activity, take more walks, and boost your immunity. All of these will be beneficial for the elderly's health.
