How should glaucoma patients eat reasonably?
Patients who have leisure time should arrange their diet reasonably: ① Diet rules: the time interval should not be too long. Excessive hunger, the blood of gastrointestinal components will be concentrated in the head, which can increase the blood volume in the eye, promote the excessive secretion of aqueous humor and increase oral pressure. Eat some digestible food, pay attention to food hygiene, avoid intestinal infectious diseases, and keep the stool unobstructed. Eat less or no irritating food, such as pepper, raw onion, pepper, etc. Keep a cheerful spirit and avoid the increase of intraocular pressure caused by excessive mental stress. Lotus plumule, wheat flakes and walnut kernels have the effects of nourishing the heart and calming the nerves, and patients with glaucoma can eat more appropriately. (2) Do "three taboos", that is, avoid smoking, alcohol and strong tea. According to research, excessive smoking, due to the effect of nicotine in tobacco, will cause retinal tube spasm of 0 1 1, leading to optic nerve ischemia, and cyanide in tobacco will also cause toxic amblyopia and damage visual function. Excessive drinking will aggravate eye congestion and even lead to an acute attack of glaucoma. Strong tea is easy to make people excited, causing a second increase in intraocular pressure. ③ The intake of tea, milk and soup should be limited. At most 1 000~ 1 500 ml (5~6 cups) per day. Generally, do not drink more than 500 ml of water at a time. Recovering too much water at a time will lead to dilution of blood concentration and decrease of plasma osmotic pressure, resulting in relatively more aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. 4 Women should not eat cold food during menstruation, nor should they be jealous, crabs, snails and other cold foods, so as to avoid dysmenorrhea affecting intraocular pressure and increasing intraocular pressure. In addition, glaucoma patients can adopt the following dietotherapy methods: A. Baiju Gan Yang Decoction: 60-90g of sheep liver, 0/2-15g of Eriocaine, 0/5g of Chrysanthemum 1 5g of chrysanthemum, decocted in water, daily1dose, and taken several times. B. Lycium barbarum and cassia seed soup: Adenophora adenophora 15g, Achyranthes bidentata 9g, Lycium barbarum 15g and cassia seed 9g. Decoct the soup to remove residue and add honey to take. Every day 1 dose, take several doses continuously. C. Lotus seed lily T owe: 30 grams of lotus seed meat, mixed with 30 grams, added with appropriate amount of water, simmered. Take 1 dose before going to bed every day.
