Can I eat goose meat if I have shingles?

Herpes zoster patients can consume goose meat in moderation. Goose meat is rich in nutrients such as protein, fat, and vitamins, and moderate consumption can help promote wound healing and enhance physical immunity. However, it is important to note that goose meat has a warm and hot nature; excessive consumption may exacerbate internal damp-heat, which is detrimental to recovery. Therefore, it should be consumed in moderation to avoid overconsumption. Additionally, herpes zoster patients should avoid spicy and stimulating foods, seafood, beef, mutton, and other foods that may intensify internal dampness and heat, as well as greasy and sweet foods that are rich and may promote dampness. At the same time, maintaining good lifestyle habits and enhancing immunity can significantly aid in disease recovery.
