Question
What should be paid attention to in the diet for chronic bronchitis?
Answer
Chronic bronchitis patients should pay attention to the following dietary precautions:
- Eat light and easy-to-digest foods: Consume more fresh vegetables such as cabbage, spinach, rapeseed, white radish, carrots, tomatoes, small cucumbers, and winter melon. These not only provide various vitamins and inorganic salts but also have the effects of clearing phlegm, reducing fire, and promoting bowel movements.
- Avoid seafood and overly greasy foods: Since fish and meat are prone to generate heat and phlegm, patients with chronic bronchitis should eat less yellow croaker, hairtail fish, shrimp, crab, and fatty meats.
