Eating In Shock

Shock is a combination of disorders of the heart, respiration, neuroendocrine regulation and metabolism, which are the result of excessive irritation.

It occurs when blood circulation is reduced to a critical minimum. This can happen with severe blood loss, for example, also with allergies, sepsis and cardiovascular disease.

Symptoms:

• fear or excitement;
• bruising of the lips and nails;
• chest pain;
• disorientation;
• dizziness, seizures, lowering of blood pressure, pallor;
• rapid pulse and shallow breathing;
• helplessness and unconsciousness.

Useful foods in shock

• Treatment begins first with the removal of the causes of the condition. They are also important for the way you eat in the future. For example, in case of thermal shock, you should take products that will not allow dehydration of the body, regulate metabolic processes, remove toxins from the body and stimulate its protective functions.
• It is recommended that dishes be cooked or steamed.
• Meat should not be fatty (rabbit, chicken), fish too. Meat provides the body with iron and protein, and fish - useful polyunsaturated omega fats, iodine, potassium, bromine, magnesium, cobalt and vitamins A, B, D, PP. All these elements not only increase a person's ability to work and give him vital energy, but also help in the creation of cell membranes, as well as the normalization of the cardiovascular system. Therefore, fish is a useful food in cardiogenic shock.
• It is useful to take milk and dairy products. However, if the shock is thermal, it is recommended to consult a doctor, as it is possible to exclude lactic acid products to avoid bloating and stress on the stomach. Milk contains a protein that is well absorbed and even helps fight infections resulting from the immunoglobulins produced by this product. Therefore, milk is recommended for people suffering from infectious-toxic shock. In addition, it lowers blood pressure, has soothing properties, reduces stomach acidity and has a beneficial effect on the skin. Kefir calms neuroses and disorders of the nervous system. Cheeses contain vitamins A and B, also have a good effect on the skin, help the body cope with infections and toxins, reduce appetite.
• Use vegetable fats (olive oil, sunflower oil and corn oil). They saturate the body with vitamins A, D, E, F and trace elements, help with circulatory disorders, cardiovascular disease and obesity. They also normalize metabolism, contribute to faster wound healing and strengthen immunity.
• It is recommended to eat porridge, especially buckwheat, as it is rich in many nutrients that saturate the body with cellulose and help it fight heart disease. Buckwheat is indispensable for cardiovascular problems and diabetes because it contains magnesium and potassium. Pearl barley gives the body B vitamins and antioxidants, thus helping it fight toxins, strengthens the immune system. Rice is useful because of its high content of folic acid, thiamine and carotene, involved in hematopoiesis and normalizing metabolism. They also remove harmful salts from the body. Millet improves digestion, and oatmeal prevents the formation of cholesterol, protecting the walls of blood vessels. Sometimes doctors recommend the consumption of semolina,
• It is good to consume vegetables and non-sour fruits in the form of jelly, mousse, pickles. They strengthen the body, giving it useful vitamins and minerals. Vegetable soups can be prepared because they are well digested and have a beneficial effect on the digestive system.

• juices from non-acidic fruits diluted with water (they provide minerals and vitamins to the body, strengthen immunity);
• weak tea with fresh milk (recommended for infections, poisoning, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal diseases, weakness due to amino acids in the product, which combine well with the milk emulsion);
• Rosehip decoction is useful to drink because it lowers blood pressure and strengthens immunity, has a beneficial effect on hematopoiesis and cardiovascular system (people suffering from thrombosis, gastritis and hypervitaminosis C, consult a doctor before using the decoction).

Dangerous and harmful foods in shock

Because the shock is the result of trauma, allergies or blood transfusions, the list of unfit products is determined directly by the cause of the condition.

But we can summarize the foods that are in any case harmful and even dangerous for those suffering from shock.

• Caffeine - its intake is not desirable because it does not work well on the nervous system and can provoke complications of the problem.
• Excessive consumption of sweets poses a risk of impaired gastrointestinal tract, and as a consequence - the load on the body.
• Alcoholic beverages are harmful because they poison the body with toxins.
• Excessive fatty foods, as well as spicy, salty, smoked and canned foods and products contribute to the formation of cholesterol and have a negative impact on the cardiovascular system.
• Mushrooms should not be eaten, because the body is burdened during their processing.
• Dairy products and eggs may be excluded from the menu in case of thermal shock on the recommendation of a doctor, because they burden the gastrointestinal tract.
