Cystic Fibrosis
The right diet is the key to managing many diseases and to improving general quality of life. For this condition, scientific research has found benefit in the following healthy eating tips.
| Recommendation | Why | Get started |
|---|---|---|
| Get enough calories | People with cystic fibrosis are usually unable to digest food completely and therefore should get 20 to 50% more calories than the recommended daily allowance. | |
| Shake on the salt | Children with cystic fibrosis lose a large amount of salt in their sweat and thus should be encouraged to salt their food liberally. |
