The eyes are the windows to a person's soul, and having a pair of beautiful eyes can leave a deep impression on people. Through the eyes, one can see a person's essence and distinguish the truth and goodness in their heart. At the same time, the eyes are one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body. Although the level of medical development is increasing, there are still significant medical difficulties in dealing with eye diseases, and red eye disease is a typical eye disease.
What should I not eat for red eye disease
1. Avoid alcohol. This disease is caused by wind heat pathogenic toxins or combined gastrointestinal heat invading the liver meridian, attacking the eyes. Drinking alcohol (including various strong liquors, yellow wine, fruit wine, rice wine, beer, etc.) can help with pathogenic heat and toxic gases, just like fanning the flames; Drinking alcohol at the same time can also damage the liver yin, causing the liver meridian to become empty, making it easier for wind heat and pathogenic toxins to invade, resulting in a prolonged course of the disease.
2. Avoid eating spicy food. Spicy products such as scallions, onions, chives, Polygonatum sibiricum, mustard, etc. can warm the yang and help with wind heat and pathogenic factors, and can also deplete the yin of the lungs and stomach, exacerbating heat accumulation in the lungs and stomach, making it difficult to eliminate wind heat pathogenic factors and heat accumulation in the lungs and stomach, which is not conducive to the early recovery of this disease.
3. Avoid fishy and gamey substances. Patients with red eye disease should avoid fishy substances such as yellow croaker, eel, rubber fish, mandarin fish, eel, black fish, bream, crab, shrimp, etc. Otherwise, it will lead to more pathogenic wind and heat, and the heat and toxicity will become more intense, causing unnecessary trouble for treatment and recovery.
4. Avoid eating ginger. People with eye inflammation should not consume ginger. It is advisable to consume cool and heat dissipating products for eye inflammation, and avoid eating warm and spicy foods. Ginger is warm and has a pungent taste that spreads and disperses, which not only helps with heat but also damages vaginal fluids. Consuming it for people with eye inflammation will worsen the condition.
Dietary requirements for patients with red eye disease
1. For those with yang excess and yin deficiency, they should avoid eating spicy or aphrodisiac foods to prevent them from causing redness, swelling, and pain in the eyes due to excessive heat, burning fires, or consuming fluids that can damage the body fluids.
2. For eye diseases caused by wind heat, excess heat, yin deficiency, and excessive fire, and those with damp heat eye diseases where heat is heavier than dampness, avoid eating tobacco, alcohol, onions, garlic, ginger, and chili. Eat less roasted and fried foods to avoid burning fluids, consuming essence, and damaging blood, and to help heat and start fires. Normally, it is advisable to have a light diet, especially for those with excessive heat eye disease. You can eat vegetables and fruits with a cooling effect, such as Malantou, winter melon, pear, banana, watermelon, etc.
3. For those with a constitution of yang deficiency and yin excess, they should eat less raw and cold food to avoid stagnation of the spleen and obstruction of the stomach, resulting in biochemical deficiency and loss of nourishment for the eyes.
4. Obese people should avoid consuming fatty and sweet foods to prevent dampness and phlegm production, and opt for light and low-fat foods. Diet should pay attention to hygiene, and it is advisable to eat at 80% full. The timing of eating should be regular, and avoid unpredictable hunger and fullness.
Every part of the body is irreplaceable, and it is these unique parts that create each unique person. We must cherish and cherish these parts that we rely on for survival. Everyone envies a pair of shining eyes, and we cannot let diseases obscure their beauty. Finally, let us take preventive measures, take good care of our eyes, and wish everyone good health, happiness, and joy.
