Suitable Lifestyle for People with Hyperammonemia

Hyperammonemia is a rare genetic metabolic disease characterized by high blood ammonia levels. People with Hyperammonemia are suitable for the following lifestyle:

1. Adjust diet: avoid high-protein and high-ammonia foods, such as meat, fish, beans, dairy products, beer, etc. Eat more foods rich in B vitamins, minerals and low protein, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, poultry and fish.

2. Control drinking: Try to reduce drinking and avoid excessive drinking, because alcohol will affect the metabolism of ammonia in the liver and increase blood ammonia levels.

3. Maintain good sleep quality: Ensure adequate sleep and relieve stress, because long-term lack of sleep may cause the liver to not work properly, thereby increasing blood ammonia levels.

4. Moderate exercise: Moderate exercise can help reduce disease symptoms, but overexertion should be avoided, because overexertion may overload the liver and affect ammonia metabolism.

5. Receive treatment according to the doctor's recommendations: If you have symptoms, please seek medical treatment in time and receive treatment according to the doctor's recommendations to reduce blood ammonia levels and relieve symptoms.

6. Maintain a good attitude: Maintain good communication with family and friends, seek psychological support, and avoid emotional fluctuations that have a negative impact on the disease.

7. Regular examinations: Conduct blood ammonia tests regularly, pay close attention to changes in the condition, and adjust treatment plans in a timely manner. Please note that these recommendations are for reference only, and specific lifestyle changes should be adjusted based on individual conditions and physician recommendations.
