Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Patients with herpes zoster can choose the following foods to promote improvement of their condition:
1. Heat-clearing foods: Such as mung beans, purslane, bitter melon, winter melon, and white radish. These foods have effects of clearing heat and reducing fever, which can help alleviate symptoms caused by herpes zoster.
2. Foods high in vitamins: Such as kiwifruit, grapefruit, oranges, strawberries, bananas, apples, and various leafy vegetables. These foods are rich in vitamins, especially vitamin C, which helps boost immunity and promote recovery.
3. High-protein foods: Such as eggs, lean meats, milk, legumes, and legume products. These foods are rich in protein, providing essential nutrients to the body, helping to enhance resistance and accelerate recovery.
