Patients with myocarditis should consume more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C, such as tomatoes, apples, pears, bananas, cucumbers, and spinach. These foods help supplement various nutrients and have effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting myocardial metabolism and enhancing the heart muscle's utilization of glucose, which is beneficial for recovery from myocarditis. They should also eat more foods containing high-quality protein, such as lean meat, fish, eggs, and milk, to strengthen the body's resistance and improve the treatment of myocarditis.
