Improve nutrition when treating patients

According to medical experts, if nutrition is not guaranteed, patients can easily fall into malnutrition at different levels, and their ability to fight disease will weaken...

Recently, the Vietnam Nutrition Association in collaboration with Hai Phong University of Medicine and Pharmacy organized the 2024 National Nutrition Science Conference with the theme "Nutrition with infection and growth".

Associate Professor, Dr. Pham Ngoc Khai, Chairman of the Vietnam Nutrition Association, said that current research on nutrition does not stop at providing balanced, timely, and adequate nutrition... but it is necessary to research the provision of natural active ingredients, creating beneficial environments in the body to support the enhancement of functions, support prevention, and support treatment for patients.

For example, with pulmonary tuberculosis, among many factors affecting the condition of tuberculosis, malnutrition is the leading risk factor. Meanwhile, tuberculosis also aggravates the patient's malnutrition. Therefore, it is necessary to screen, assess the patient's nutritional status, monitor, and intervene early in nutrition to improve the effectiveness of tuberculosis treatment.

Similarly, in digestive surgery, Major General, Associate Professor, Dr. Hoang Manh An, Vice President of the Vietnam Military Medical Association, said that there was a time when cooperation between surgeons and nutritionists was very limited. However, after in-depth research on nutrition, it is possible to see the importance of nutrition in major digestive surgeries.

“Good nutritional preparation before surgery will minimize complications. Good nutrition after surgery will ensure a successful surgery. Therefore, a close relationship between the surgeon and the nutritionist is indispensable,” said Associate Professor, Dr. Hoang Manh An.

Experts say that one of the simple ways to improve digestive health, help the body absorb nutrients, and play an important role in nutrition is to drink water properly.

Of these, drinking natural alkaline water is generally considered safe because it contains natural minerals and has many benefits that have been recognized by the world . Alkaline water is recognized by Japan and Korea as effective in supporting the treatment of gastric hypersecretion, indigestion, diarrhea, and normalizing intestinal microflora.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Nga, General Director of Khanh Hoa Mineral Water Joint Stock Company, shared that alkaline water with precious minerals such as H2SiO3 for healthy skin, HCO3- for digestion, and ions to help balance electrolytes and reduce stress, the product also has an ORP index = -100mV, providing strong antioxidant capacity, slowing down the aging process... These benefits are completely consistent with the strict criteria of the Vietnam Nutrition Association."

However, according to experts and nutritionists, alkaline water cannot replace medicine. If alkaline water is not used properly, it will cause the patient's body to become exhausted, have a weakened immune system, lose muscle mass, and increase the risk of infection. Therefore, when not yet sick, a reasonable lifestyle, diet, exercise, work, and regular health check-ups are the best ways to prevent disease.

If infected, showing signs of body disorder, people need to go to a reputable, licensed medical facility for examination and treatment. At the same time, meet all the nutrients to increase the ability to fight disease and use alkaline drinking water according to the doctor's advice.
