Diet rules are the same for well people as they are for sick people. Consider the basics or the rule of thumb for all eating habits regardless of disorder. There isn't a specific diet used to treat emphysema patients, but living a healthier lifestyle in general makes the body stronger. Some tips I would suggest are;
1. low sodium - sodium or salt is an osmotic nutrient that by name sake draws fluid inwards, and this increases the build up fluid in the body. As emphysema patients have already got that concern, it is wise to prevent making matters worse.
2. six small meals in place of three large meals - this helps maintain a steady source of energy throughout the day and prevents peaks and drops in patients calorific field. As emphysema patients are oxygen deficient, they need all the additional oxygen sources they can get, maintaining steady levels of calories in the body prevents oxygen stores being depleted over time.
3. high healthy calorie diet - gain calorific energy from natural foods and not chemical stimulants, such as coffee or white sugar. Serve meals with equal parts of vegetable, natural carbohydrates (i.e. potato) and meat. Reduce high salt and high sugar sauces and condiments.
The best way to do all of this is with help from a nutrionalist, if you can find one. Otherwise be natural and stay natural, refrain from manufactured or processed foods as much as you can afford.
