Patient's question:
Lately, I've always felt uncomfortable. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, I found out that I have emphysema. I want to know what foods are good for emphysema.Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is necessary to consume more foods rich in vitamins A, C, and calcium, such as pork liver, egg yolks, chives, pumpkin, etc. These foods have the effect of moisturizing the lungs and protecting organs. Foods containing vitamin C have anti-inflammatory properties, such as jujubes, tomatoes, and green peppers. Calcium-rich foods can enhance the anti-allergic ability of the trachea, such as pork bones, green vegetables, tofu, and sesame paste, etc.Patients with emphysema should consume more edible fungi, such as shiitake mushrooms and mushrooms, to boost the body's resistance. Emphysema patients need to eat more protein and iron-rich foods, such as lean meat, animal livers, tofu, and soy milk, etc. Additionally, emphysema patients should quit smoking and drinking alcohol, avoid stimulating foods, and prevent overeating. It is better to eat warm foods, avoiding cold and cooling foods. Try to minimize the consumption of foods like sweet potatoes or chives.
