There are certain kinds of fruits.
Fracture patients, postoperative patients and parturients are suitable to eat fruits with high vitamin C content such as citrus, grapefruit, strawberry, kiwi fruit, persimmon and papaya. The reason is that vitamin C can promote the absorption of iron and is an indispensable nutrient for wound healing and tissue repair.
Eating papaya is the most helpful for patients with gastric ulcer, because papaya juice can protect the stomach wall.
Patients with heart disease and hypertension need proper potassium supplementation. It is most appropriate to send them fruits with high potassium content such as cantaloupe, cantaloupe, papaya, kiwi, strawberry and persimmon, but patients with kidney disease should eat less.
People with diabetes must control their sugar intake. When visiting them, it is suggested to bring some citrus fruits, pears, strawberries, grapefruit, cantaloupes and so on with low sugar content.
Don't use nutritional supplements indiscriminately.
Various nutritional supplements are also visiting gifts that often appear around hospitalized patients, but modern people's diets are generally rich and varied, so except for some patients who are too thin, have cancer, have severe burns or have a bad appetite and eat badly, other patients do not need to eat some nutritional supplements as long as they have a balanced diet. Especially for some patients with kidney disease, it is necessary to limit the intake of protein. If you eat some high-protein nutritional supplements, it may increase the burden on liver and kidney and aggravate the condition.
In addition, there are many kinds of nutritional supplements on the market. Before buying these nutritional supplements, you should first understand the patient's condition and dietary contraindications, and then make a decision after consulting with a doctor or dietitian.
Stewed soup has limited nutrition.
Postoperative patients often receive chicken soup and fish soup stewed by enthusiastic relatives and friends. Most people think that the soup cooked for a long time brings together all the nutrients, so patients don't have to eat more meat, but drink more soup. But this concept is wrong. Although there are some free amino acids, fats and nucleic acids decomposed by protein in the soup, the amount is very small, which cannot provide the heat and protein needed for repairing body tissues. Therefore, meat and soup should be eaten together to get enough nutrition.
In addition, it should be noted that some water-soluble components, such as purine, sodium and potassium ions, will be dissolved when the soup is stewed for a long time, so patients with gout, hyperuricemia, hypertension, hyperkalemia and nephropathy should drink less.
Sincere concern is the most important thing.
Everyone is hospitalized for different reasons and has different physical conditions. It's really not easy to give a suitable gift. In addition to fruits, nutrients and stews, there are actually many other options: red envelopes for good luck, relatively speaking, money is more practical; Flowers are pleasing to the eye, but it is best to know whether the patient is allergic to pollen first; The patient was bored in the hospital bed. Send some books that patients like to read to help pass the time.
In short, we should sincerely care for patients and consider their needs from the patients' point of view, so that they can feel warm and happy, feel happy and recover more easily.
