In the treatment of early childhood arthritis (JIA), in addition to medication and physiotherapy, dietary management is also an essential component. A reasonable diet not only provides adequate nutrition for the sick, but also helps to alleviate the condition and promote rehabilitation. The following are dietary concerns of early childhood special arthritis patients.
I. Balanced ingestion of all types of nutrients Children with specific early onset arthritis need to have sufficient nutrients such as proteins, vitamins and minerals to maintain their health and enhance their immunity. High-protein foods, such as milk, eggs, skinny meat, etc., contribute to supplementing the energy consumed by the disease and the nutrients necessary for growth and development, while also replenishing calcium and strengthening the bones. Vitamin-rich foods such as fresh fruit, vegetables, and antioxidating substances such as vitamin C and vitamin E can help to reduce inflammation and promote tissue rehabilitation.
Avoiding spicy, greasy, irritating foods such as peppers, peppers, peppers, fried foods may increase arthritis and pain. The sick should therefore avoid, to the extent possible, the consumption of these foods in order not to aggravate their condition. At the same time, sick children should avoid eating foods of high sugar and fat, such as candy, chocolate and fat, which may increase weight and increase the burden of joints.
III. Attention to food allergies and intolerant parts of young children with special arthritis may be allergic or intolerant to certain foods, such as seafood, peanuts, etc. On the diet, parents should pay close attention to the reaction of the sick child and, if allergies are detected, immediately stop eating the food and consult a doctor. In addition, alternatives such as yogurt and cheese can be selected for lactose intolerant children to ensure nutritional ingestion.
Children suffering from early childhood special arthritis should be guided by the principle of eating less and not eating too much. A regular diet helps to reduce the gastrointestinal burden and promotes nutritional absorption. At the same time, parents should encourage children in need to drink more water, keep their poops free and prevent constipation.
V. Attention to the interaction between drugs and food. In the course of treatment, children may need to take some medication, such as non-acute anti-inflammation drugs, immunosuppressants, etc. Parents should be aware of the interaction between drugs and food and avoid food affecting their efficacy. For example, when taking certain drugs, the consumption of foods such as grapefruit, which may affect drug metabolism, should be avoided.
The dietary management of children affected by early childhood specific arthritis needs to take into account a combination of nutritional needs, changing conditions and drug effects. Parents should communicate with doctors to develop a personalized diet based on the specific circumstances of the child. At the same time, parents should encourage affected children to maintain good eating habits, to eat more nutritious food and to avoid the consumption of stimulating and allergic foods. Strong support is provided for the rehabilitation of sick children through scientifically sound dietary management.
