HIV is the HIV, that is, AIDS. So far, there is no effective way to completely cure the disease. In addition to doing a good job in personal hygiene, patients can also cook through diet.
In addition to treatment, how should one adjust their diet when HIV positive?
1. Probiotics
Microbes play a vital role in the intestinal tract, especially probiotics, which can improve a variety of neuroinflammation related to AIDS virus, protect the heart, prevent serious Alzheimer's disease, and repair slightly damaged body functions. Dark chocolate, pickled Chinese cabbage and fermented soybeans are rich in probiotics.
2. Antioxidants
Vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E are common antioxidants, which can not only inhibit the virus, but also remove harmful free radicals, assist in the treatment of AIDS, and help rebuild the immune system. HIV proliferates in high oxidative environments, altering the active state of the body's immune response, producing free radicals, and damaging tissues and cells. In addition, antioxidant compounds will produce free radicals during consumption, so you should eat foods rich in antioxidants to fight against carrots, Dark chocolate, medlar, blueberry, sunflower, etc.
3. Anti-inflammatory food
After research, the relationship between HIV and body inflammation is very close. Inflammation is related to various diseases such as cancer, renal failure, liver cirrhosis, dementia, and autoimmune diseases. Even if HIV carriers receive antiviral treatment, the probability of inflammation is significantly increased, and inflammation can be reduced through a diet that includes olive oil, cabbage, spinach, tomatoes, salmon, almonds, peaches, citrus fruits, and strawberries.
4. Vegetarianism
HIV carriers have high fat levels and consume more fat and cholesterol. The risk of hyperlipidemia increases with the increase of Saturated fat acid in serum. As long as patients receive sufficient intake of protein, energy, and dietary fiber, they can prevent fat deposition. Therefore, we should choose vegetarian diet to reduce the intake of Saturated fat. The dietary fiber contained in vegetarianism can reduce cholesterol and triglycerides in the serum, such as green leafy vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, whole grains, etc., supplementing the body with minerals and vitamins, and improving the immune system.
Kind reminder
Patients should have a balanced intake of nutrients for their body, mix their diet reasonably, and avoid consuming harmful foods. The principle of eating small amounts and multiple meals should be adopted, and attention should be paid to the diversification of diet. Avoid eating acidic and spicy foods, and the diet should be mainly high in protein and energy.
