Can I ask what information you have about frozen food? I always thought it was good for you, specially frozen veggies.
Thanks
Thanks for the information
I should have been more specific. Generally, veggies are okay but the rest of frozen foods use lots of sodium as a preservative. Always best to check nutrition info on packages if availableā¦if not, go online.

Sorry, please I just have to put the question here.
Itās regarding diet for HBV patient.
What type of foods should they abstain from?
What type of foods should they consume?
Dear @Johnnie,
As above, thereās no single type of foods that help or hinder. A healthy diet (not too many calories, mainly vegetables, etc.) will help your health in general.

Hi @Johnnie,
I want to add one more thing to what @ThomasTu has mentioned. Avoid alcohol ( a glass occasionally is fine), smoking, or anything that is considered unhealthy behavior. Best, Bansah1

Many experts talk about the effectiveness of the TUDKA bio-additive for restoring liver function. Does TUDKA really restore the liver? Dear experts, what can you say about TUDKA for HBV?
Hi, Anthony,
You got me curious about this. From what Iāve read it works a lot like milk thistle supplements. The biggest difference is that thereāve been more clinical tests with milk thistle thanks with the latter.
If youāre in the US, Hepagard is by far and away the highest rated supplement for what it does, and does not, contain. Apparently as pharmaceutical firms get in on this they add ingredients that may be useless or even prove to be counterproductive so investigate
Iām in Canada and we donāt have that brand here yet. Iām going to give myself a 90 day cleanseā¦canāt hurt.
All the best!

The main component of the TUDKA dietary supplement is Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid. Viral in the USA. Bioadditives are hepatoprotectors. What kind of acid is cinnamic acid for improving the health of the liver? What effect does Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid have on the liver?
There are also many reviews of vitamin E tocotrienols.
Vitamin E tocotrienols also have many health benefits and exert powerful antioxidant protection?
Just moving this discussion to an existing thread. As noted above, there arenāt any good studies showing robust and clinically relevant effects of any supplements on Hep B. Also the supplement market is pretty unregulated and youāre never sure of whatās actually in them.

I donāt know if this has already been discussed but I wanted to check with you about the sodium intake. It was suggested that a lower sodium intake per day (less than 2000mg sodium). How do you guys control sodium everyday? It sounds easy but I found sodium is everywhere, even in the bottle purified water. In the suggestions from my doctor, one says DO NOT ADD SALT WHEN COOKING OR EATING AT TABLE. I understand that we actually take so much sodium from the natural foods, such as milk, eggs, meat, seafood, vegetables, etc. When I checked the nutrition facts of all those foods I eat everyday and was surprised that one boiled egg contains 120mg sodium, one cup of milk contains 130mg sodium, and 100g fresh raw shrimp contains 430mg sodium. Could you please share how you monitor your sodium intake everyday? I may just stop adding extra salt when I am cooking. But the taste would be awfulā¦

Luckily, 2,000mg sounds, and is easier to figure out at mealtime, than 2g.
I was given the same dietary restriction. I became a very informed shopper after spending countless hours in grocery stores reading the nutrition fact labels on everything.
Also, in Canada, restaurants supply these same facts for their meals on menu and/or online.
General rule of thumb is avoid fast foods and processed foods and many frozen things OTHER than vegetables. Some canned goods are preserved with lower sodium content.
For eggs and things I like the taste of salt on, I use NO-SALT, a sodium replacement.
If you know a farmer you can usually get fresh meat options without salt, even smoked bacon.
I use an air fryer which cuts down on transfats, which are also not good for us.
I found this really hard at first but have gotten used to it and am able to eat fairly ānormallyāā¦if I have a meal that uses up a lot of the 2g benchmark I eat fruit the rest of the day because thereās no cheating one day and making it up the next.
It IS much easier once you have a targetā¦
Good luck!
