Declines in whole blood cells can be caused by a variety of diseases, such as regenerative obstructive anaemia (redisability), epilepsy haemoglobinuria (PNH) and osteomosis syndrome (MDS). In the case of these diseases, while specific treatment options may differ, there are some general recommendations for diet that can be used as part of complementary treatment.
The following are some of the dietary recommendations that apply to patients with total blood cell reduction, whether they are redisability, PNH or MDS patients:
I. A balanced diet
Protein-rich food: Protein is an important part of blood cells, so patients should have enough protein, such as skinny meat, fish, beans, eggs, etc.
Iron-rich food: Iron is an important element in making red cells and iron deficiency can lead to anaemia. Therefore, patients should eat more iron-rich food, such as animal liver, spinach, red dates, etc.
Vitamin-rich food: Vitamin C helps to absorb iron, while Vitamin B plays an important role in blood cell formation. Consequently, patients should eat more vitamin-rich food, such as citrus fruits, strawberries, green leaves, etc.
II. Avoiding stimulating foods
Spicy foods: Spicy foods can stimulate gastrointestinal tracts and affect nutritional absorption. Patients should therefore try to avoid eating spicy food.
Cold foods: Cold foods may increase the burden of gastrointestinal tracts, adversely affecting nutritional absorption and disease recovery. Patients should therefore also try to avoid eating raw cold food.
III. Attention to hygiene and dietary hygiene
(b) Maintenance of personal hygiene: whole blood cells reduce the vulnerability of patients to infection and should therefore be kept in personal hygiene, hand washing, bathing and changing clothes.
Attention to dietary hygiene: avoid eating unclean food and causing gastrointestinal infections. The utensils should also be kept clean and disinfected.
IV. Adapting diets to specific diseases
Persons with further impairment: In addition to the above general recommendations, special attention should be paid to supplementing blood-producing materials such as folic acid, vitamin B12 etc. At the same time, the consumption of food or medicines that may inhibit bone marrow blood function should be avoided.
Patients of PNH: PNH patients should avoid eating food or medicine that may aggravate soluble blood. At the same time, more food with antioxidants, such as vitamin E, should be eaten, helping to stabilize the membranes.
MDS patients: MDS patients may be associated with anaemia, haemorrhaging, etc., and should therefore be fed more with iron and vitamin C. At the same time, the consumption of food or medicines that may aggravate the growth of the bone marrow should be avoided.
In the light of the above, the diet of patients with total blood cell reduction should be based on the principles of balanced diet, avoidance of stimulating food, and attention to hygiene and dietary hygiene. At the same time, diets should be adapted to specific diseases, and medical treatment should be regulated.
