Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the nervous system, in which the own immune system begins to destroy the white matter of nerve cells. Canadian scientist Ashton Embry was the first to study the relationship between the development of the disease and the patient's nutrition. As a result, a diet with multiple sclerosis appeared , which, although not capable of curing the disease, slows the progression of disability and reduces the risk of death from this disease.
Embri diet for multiple sclerosis
The idea behind this food system is to avoid any foods whose proteins resemble myelin, attacked by the immune system. Such products include:
- milk. All without exception - milk, cheese, cottage cheese, sour-milk drinks, etc .;
- Cereal cultures that contain gluten or gluten . These include wheat, rye, barley. But there are cereals in which there is no gluten and you can eat them: buckwheat, millet, rice, sorghum, amaranth weed, movies;
- beans - peas, beans, beans, soybeans, peanuts;
- red meat - beef, lamb, pork. But you can eat white meat for food - chicken, turkey;
- Diet in such a disease as multiple sclerosis, involves the rejection of sugar. But it can be replaced with honey and sweeteners such as stevia or maple syrup.
With the sclerosis of cerebral vessels, the diet does not prohibit the consumption of fish and seafood, butter, rye bread, vegetable oil, vegetables (except potatoes), greens, eggs, fruits and berries. In moderate quantities, alcohol is allowed. But if some of the recommended products had previously been allergic, then they should be excluded from the diet. In any case, everything should be respected and there is everything that is possible, but within reasonable limits.
