Burn patients generally do not advocate taboos. However, foods with high fat and indigestion, such as fat, hooves and fried foods, should be avoided in the early and middle stages of the disease. Because at this time, patients with digestive tract dysfunction, poor appetite, not easy to digest after eating, affecting the absorption of nutrients. Chinese medicine also believes that overeating greasy food is easy to produce phlegm and dampness, which is not conducive to wound healing. Therefore, it is advisable to eat digestible vegetable oils containing unsaturated fatty acids, such as peanut oil, soybean oil and sesame oil. But you also need to take it in moderation, not too much. Many people think that patients with burns should not eat food containing pigments, such as glutinous rice, lobster sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, etc., for fear that the scar will shrink after eating and the wound will turn black after healing. This habit of avoiding eating after burns is unscientific. As for burns, scar spasms after burns, and black wounds, it depends on the degree of injury. Burns and scalds are confined to epidermis and superficial dermis. During the treatment, as long as there is no infection, permanent scar will not be formed after healing, scar contracture will not be caused, and the wound will turn black. If the whole dermis is damaged, even the subcutaneous tissue and muscle layer are affected, that is, the damage degree is above grade II, granulation tissue will age and lose elasticity during treatment and repair, which will easily lead to scar contracture in burn and scald parts and blacken the wound surface. The main reason is pigmentation in the process of repair after injury. This is because when black cells are stimulated, more black particles will be deposited in the skin, which will make the healed scar (wound) black. It has nothing to do with eating black or colored food. As for the formation of keloids, in addition to the above-mentioned factors of scar contracture, there are also individual differences in human skin, that is, "keloid skin." Some people will form keloids during the healing process after skin injury, even if it is not burns. Therefore, the situation after recovery has little to do with whether the diet is strictly taboo. However, it is necessary to mention the issue of supplementing protein. Don't supplement a lot of high-protein food for an early recovery, because burns and scalds have little to do with food taboos and are not desirable. At the early stage of the disease, due to the decline of digestion and absorption function and physical and mental pain, the appetite of patients will generally decrease significantly. For example, if they eat too much high-protein food, they are prone to abdominal distension and abdominal pain, which leads to food lag and reluctance to eat. Moreover, too high protein will often aggravate dysfunction due to gastrointestinal overload, and will also increase the burden of liver and kidney metabolism. Therefore, protein's intake should be gradual. According to the changes of patients' digestive tract function and general condition, add appropriate amount of protein, and then gradually increase the amount. It is forbidden to rush to eat a lot of high-protein food. And try to choose high-quality protein containing various essential amino acids, such as milk, eggs, lean meat, fish, shrimp and so on.
