Patients with Ebola virus hemorrhagic fever should choose light, easily digestible, and nutrient-rich foods. It is recommended to mainly consume liquid or semi-liquid foods, such as well-cooked noodles, porridge, vegetable puree, and meat puree. These foods are easy to swallow and digest, thereby reducing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, patients should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as green peppers, carrots, spinach, Chinese cabbage, apples, and oranges, in order to supplement vitamins and minerals. In addition, foods rich in high-quality protein, such as eggs and milk, are also good choices, as they provide essential nutritional support to patients. It should be noted that patients should avoid eating spicy, irritating, greasy, raw, or cold foods, as these may worsen the condition. Moreover, patients should be encouraged to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration and promote recovery.
