Malaria is a vector-borne illness which is communicated by Anopheline mosquitoes. As a result, the blood platelet of patients decreases rapidly, leading to weakness, fever and muscle cramps.
A plate loaded with healthy and nourishing food gives you energy and speeds up the recuperation cycle by mending your body from the inside. The same goes for individuals experiencing Malaria.
To treat Malaria, there is no particular diet plan, yet one requirement to guarantee satisfactory sustenance is to help the body with battling Malaria.
The Ayurveda eating routine and lifestyle for malaria patients should incorporate the following:
Diet
To do’s
- Consume a high carbohydrate diet. Pick rice over wheat and millet. Rice can be digested quickly and can deliver energy quicker.
- Fresh fruits and Vegetables work great on malaria patients. According to Ayurveda, Vitamin A and Vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables like beetroot, carrot, papaya, pomegranate and berries help to detoxify and support the immune system of the patient suffering from Malaria.
- Nuts and seeds are packed with nutrients, healthy fats, and proteins. When you want to munch on something in between your food and think about what to eat during malaria fever, nuts and seeds are generally the ideal choices, as processed food sources are out of your reach due to Malaria.
- Sadly, at the time of malaria fever, one encounters food cravings and less resilience and in this manner, eating food turns into a test. To make up for such a circumstance, one should drink glucose water, fresh fruit juices, coconut, a sorbet made with Ayurveda Herbs like tulsi, salt, sugar and water.
- While drinking water, ensure it is boiled and sterilized. Consume rice water, vegetable soup, stew, and so on. Ayurveda suggests an everyday water intake of less than 3 to 3.5 litres, perhaps not more. Water will help clean out the toxins from the body through urine and stools and assist you in recovering quickly.
- Ajwain water is a marvel drink that you should add to your eating routine when suffering from Malaria. Ajwain being a carminative (gas releasing property reflecting medications), decreases swelling and gas and attempts to keep your digestive system healthy.
- High temperature makes the body weak and lessens hunger. Food rich in protein assists with combining safe bodies, which can assist with battling parasites. Add mung soup, soya bean, and asparagus to your eating routine.
Don’ts
- Avoid food high in fat like chips, fries, pastries, anything with lots of cheese, food items made from maida, etc.
- Refrain from high-fibre foods such as fruits and vegetables with thick skin and whole grains.
- Stay away from having spicy or hot food. It will cause you unnecessary stomach problems and heartburn.
- Say no to sauces and pickles in your diet.
- Avoid consuming tea, coffee, cola, cocoa, or any other caffeinated beverages.
Lifestyle Changes Required For Malaria Patients:
- Keep your surroundings clean.
- Take bed rest.
