HEPATITIS C -Hepatitis C is a difficult disease to manage due to lack of conventional treatment options. Lifestyle plays an integral part in the management and treatment of this chronic disease. Proper diet, exercise and stress management all help in its control. Since the liver converts and detoxifies everything we eat and drink, a well-balanced nutritious diet is essential. A low-fat, high complex carbohydrate, low-sodium diet which is adequate in protein is essential. Many people with Hepatitis C cannot tolerate dairy products. There are many herbal supplements that are helpful and many that are dangerous so education is the key. Finding a good experienced doctor is essential. Lack of knowledge could prove to be deadly.
