With the aging population in China, Parkinson's disease has become the third biggest killer after tumor, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Fortunately, among many neurodegenerative diseases and dyskinesia diseases, Parkinson's disease is a disease with relatively rich treatment methods, satisfactory curative effect of early standardized treatment, good living conditions of patients and no obvious impact on life expectancy.
Here, I will make a detailed list of dietary guidelines for my friends. Eat well, feel good, and work harder, and life will be better.
Eat more nutritious staple foods and reduce the intake of fat and grease.
To choose a variety of foods, you can refer to the food pyramid guide and eat different foods in portions, so as to control the contents of calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sugar and sodium in your diet.
PAYO people are advised to eat the most nutritious staple foods, including bread, grain, rice and pasta. Secondly, it is used to supplement the lack of nutrition in staple food, that is, a large number of vegetables and fruits; Third, there is a relatively small amount of red meat (beef, mutton, pork, etc. ), poultry, fish, eggs, soybeans and nuts, as well as milk, yogurt and cheese. Foods rich in fat and oil but low in nutrients are recommended to be reduced, including salad dressing, cream and butter, especially margarine, margarine, candy, soft drinks and desserts.
Eat less and eat more, and encourage drinking more water.
Adequate dietary fiber intake: Parkinson's patients are prone to constipation, and it is recommended to consume at least 25 grams of dietary fiber every day. Encourage the consumption of whole wheat bread, grains, fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid eating too little or too fine food, which lacks residue and has little stimulation to colon movement.
Eat less and eat more: Some Parkinson's patients will feel full after eating a small amount of food. It is suggested to increase the number of meals and reduce the amount of each meal. This also helps to reduce orthostatic hypotension symptoms, such as dizziness associated with postprandial hypotension.
Encourage drinking more water: Payou often reduces the amount of drinking water because of inconvenient activities and some symptoms of urinary system. But drinking water is an important non-drug therapy to prevent and treat constipation. It is suggested that patients with Parkinson's disease can drink 2000 ml of water every day. It can avoid dry stool caused by excessive absorption of water and salt by colon.
Constipation, low blood pressure, it is better to eat like this.
Many friends worry that eating high-protein food at the same time will interfere with the absorption of drugs (levodopa). It is suggested that patients take medicine on an empty stomach, such as one hour before meals, so that the medicine can be absorbed better. For patients who take levodopa for the first time, nausea may appear after taking the medicine. They can eat some low-protein foods such as biscuits, fruits or juice while taking the medicine, and drinking ginger juice can also relieve nausea and vomiting. It should be noted that high-fat diets such as fat, meat oil and animal offal, pizza, hamburger, French fries, bacon and avocado will affect drug absorption, so eat less.
Many friends are constipated. You know, water and dietary fiber play an equally important role in controlling constipation. Clinically, high dietary fiber diet and drinking water therapy are advocated. Drink at least 1500 to 2000ml of water, clear soup or fruit juice every day. Eat more coarse grains, potatoes and fruits and vegetables. At the same time, strengthen exercise and do more abdominal exercises.
The incidence of postprandial hypotension in patients with Parkinson's disease is high, which can increase the volume of visceral mesentery by 200% ~ 300% after meals, resulting in visceral congestion, decreased effective circulating blood volume and postprandial hypotension. Therefore, patients are encouraged to eat less and eat more meals to reduce the incidence of postprandial hypotension.
Dietary strategy of Parkinson's disease;
1, carbohydrate (sugar):
Glucose is the main substance that provides energy.
Too little sugar intake will increase the intake of protein, while a high-protein diet will seriously interfere with the absorption of anti-PD drugs.
Patients with PD can eat more staple foods such as rice and flour, coarse grains, miscellaneous grains and potato foods such as sweet potato, sweet potato and yam.
2. protein:
The supply of protein needs to maintain a positive nitrogen balance, mainly to supplement high-quality protein, and the daily supply should be controlled at 0.8 g/kg body weight.
You can choose eggs, fish, shrimp and lean meat such as pork, beef and poultry.
High protein diet is not conducive to the absorption of anti-PD drugs, and meat should be restricted appropriately. You can eat about 50 grams of meat every day, and choose lean meat, poultry meat or fish. 1 Eggs contain protein equivalent to 25g lean meat.
High-protein food should be served at dinner.
3. Fat:
Fat should be mainly unsaturated fatty acids, and cholesterol intake should be below 300mg per day, but there is no need to restrict food too much.
Vegetable oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, but too much vegetable oil without enough antioxidants will induce lipid peroxidation and cause tissue and cell damage, which may accelerate the progress of PD.
Choose cooking foods such as tea seed oil, peanut oil, soybean oil, olive oil and sunflower seed oil according to the situation. Don't eat fat, meat oil and animal offal.
4, vitamins and minerals:
Vitamin E, vitamin C, beta carotene and coenzyme Q are natural antioxidants.
Calcium: Payou is more common in middle-aged and elderly people, especially prone to osteoporosis. Payou especially needs to pay attention to reasonable calcium supplementation. The intake of calcium should be1000 ~1500mg/day, and moderate intake of vitamin d can reduce the occurrence of osteoporosis.
More sun exposure is a natural and good way to increase vitamin D synthesis. When you can't get enough vitamins and trace elements from food for some reason, you can consider adding a compound preparation of vitamins and trace elements appropriately.
Vegetables and fruits: Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins and trace elements, as well as dietary fiber to promote intestinal peristalsis.
Generally speaking, patients with Parkinson's disease should ensure adequate drinking water, increase the intake of nuts, tea, berries, deep-sea fish, dark leafy vegetables and fresh fruits, and reduce the intake of animal fats, such as fried food, corn syrup containing high fructose, fat and meat oil.
Parkinson's disease is a chronic protracted war, and patients have enough time to adjust their daily life and psychology and reserve their physical strength. Paypal can delay the progress of Parkinson's disease and improve the quality of life by paying attention to every detail in all aspects of life. Our world can still be colorful.
