Diet to be followed: 

If you have hepatitis B, it’s important to follow a balanced diet that supports liver health and overall well-being. Here are some general guidelines:

1. Healthy Fats: Include sources of healthy fats like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil.

2. Lean Proteins: Choose lean protein sources such as poultry, fish, tofu, beans, and legumes.

3. Complex Carbohydrates: Opt for whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, oats, and whole wheat bread to provide sustained energy.

4. Fruits and Vegetables: Aim for a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables to get a wide range of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

5. Limit Sugary Foods: Minimize intake of sugary snacks, sodas, and processed foods as they can contribute to inflammation.

6. Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and support liver function.

7. Small, Frequent Meals: Eat smaller, more frequent meals to avoid putting stress on the liver.

8. Limit Sodium: Reduce sodium intake to help prevent fluid retention and swelling.

For hepatitis B, it’s important to avoid foods and substances:-

1. Alcohol: Alcohol can cause further damage to the liver, so it’s crucial to avoid it completely if you have hepatitis B.

2. High-fat foods: Avoid foods high in saturated and trans fats, as they can contribute to liver inflammation and damage. This includes fried foods, fatty cuts of meat, full-fat dairy products, and processed foods high in unhealthy fats.

3. Excessive salt: Too much salt can lead to fluid retention and swelling, which can be problematic for people with liver disease. Limit your intake of processed and salty foods, and opt for fresh, whole foods instead.

4. Raw or undercooked seafood: Hepatitis B can affect the liver’s ability to process certain foods, so it’s best to avoid raw or undercooked seafood to reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses.

5. High-sugar foods and beverages: Consuming too much sugar can contribute to inflammation and insulin resistance, which may exacerbate liver damage. Limit your intake of sugary snacks, desserts, and sweetened beverages.

6. Processed foods: Processed foods often contain additives, preservatives, and unhealthy fats that can be hard on the liver. Try to minimize your consumption of packaged and processed foods, and focus on whole, nutrient-rich options instead.

7. Highly acidic foods: Some people with hepatitis B find that highly acidic foods like citrus fruits and tomatoes can exacerbate symptoms such as nausea or heartburn. Pay attention to how your body reacts to these foods and limit them if necessary.

8. Unpasteurized dairy products: Avoid unpasteurized dairy products, as they may contain harmful bacteria that could further strain the liver.
