What aspects should cervical spondylosis patients pay attention to in diet?

As the saying goes: the disease enters from the mouth. In the years of diagnosis and treatment of cervical spondylosis, I found that most patients with cervical spondylosis did not pay attention to their own diet health, and even some patients began to eat and drink at will before the wound was completely healed after operation.

Ignoring the advice of medical staff at all is likely to directly reduce the treatment effect and prolong the recovery time.

From my treatment experience, scientific, reasonable and healthy eating habits will play a vital role in the prevention and treatment of cervical spondylosis. If a person's eating habits are very reasonable and healthy, his chances of getting sick may be much lower than others. In the treatment of cervical spondylosis, I generally advise patients to pay attention to the following points in their diet.

First of all, smoking and drinking are not advisable.

Smoking and drinking are very harmful to the treatment of cervical spondylosis. Alcohol in wine and nicotine in cigarettes are common substances that can penetrate the blood-brain barrier. When they enter the blood-brain barrier, they will interfere with the cranial nerves and stimulate excited nerves. Dieters often show talkativeness, loud voice, incoherent speech, irritability, stumbling and poor control. In addition, alcohol and nicotine can directly or indirectly affect the digestive system, respiratory system, circulatory system, reproductive system and other important organ systems of the human body, and the metabolic function and immunity are reduced, which may make it difficult for patients with cervical spondylosis to resist the invasion of the disease during the treatment, which is not conducive to the recovery of the disease.

Second, eat less cold and overheated food.

Eating cold and overheated food often will cause pressure on the stomach, which is not conducive to gastrointestinal absorption, normal metabolism and physical recovery.

Third, elderly patients with cervical spondylosis should eat more light and digestible food.

The gastrointestinal function of the elderly is worse than that of young people, so it is difficult to digest hard or greasy food. Therefore, eat less greasy, heavy-flavored food and hard food in the diet to avoid pressure on the stomach.

Fourth, patients with liver and kidney deficiency should take more tonics.

Patients with cervical spondylosis and liver and kidney weakness are advised to take Lycium barbarum for a long time to calm the liver and improve eyesight. Sesame and your hospital should nourish yin and tonify kidney, and avoid spicy and irritating food. Spicy stimulation of liver and kidney is harmful to it. Generally, the common irritating foods in our food include: onion, garlic, leek, ginger, wine, pepper, pepper, cinnamon, star anise, fennel and so on.
