Dr. Chen You
People with retinal hemorrhage can drink water infused with Astragalus (Huangqi), which helps enhance immune function, protect the liver, promote diuresis, and delay aging. It is recommended to consume more vegetables, fruits, seafood, and to moderately supplement magnesium and meat, while giving up unhealthy habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol. Daily diet should be light, with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, and spicy or irritating foods should be avoided.
