After recovery from rheumatic fever, patients should focus on a balanced and nutritious diet. Below are some recommendations:
1. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits: These foods are rich in vitamins and minerals, which help enhance the body's resistance.
2. Consume high-quality proteins: Such as milk, eggs, and meat products, which aid in physical recovery and boost immunity.
3. Pay attention to cooking methods: Focus on light and easily digestible foods, avoiding greasy, spicy, or irritating foods.
4. Avoid allergenic foods: Based on individual constitution and allergy history, avoid foods that may trigger allergic reactions.
Patients recovering from rheumatic fever should maintain a balanced diet, paying attention to nutritional combinations and cooking methods, to enhance the body's resistance and prevent disease recurrence. Additionally, patients should avoid excessive fatigue and strenuous exercise, maintaining good lifestyle habits and a positive mindset.
