AIIMS Diet App Aids Recovery from Ulcerative Colitis
Imagine your tummy has angry red patches (ulcers) because of how you eat and how stressed you are.
This happened to a man who ate unhealthy food and worked a lot.
Doctors helped him by changing his diet to include healthy foods and reducing stress with exercise.
He now eats foods like fruits, veggies, and healthy fats.
There's also an app that helps him keep track of what he eats.
Because of this new diet and lifestyle changes, his tummy feels better, and he feels healthier.
A 35-year-old bank executive, Sudheer Sharma, managed ulcerative colitis with an anti-inflammatory diet.
His condition was triggered by poor diet, work stress, and exacerbated by unhealthy eating habits.
He consulted AIIMS doctors and followed an anti-inflammatory diet, which included whole, unprocessed foods, healthy fats, and lean proteins.
An app called IBD Nutricare helped him monitor his diet, leading to improved health and stopped rectal bleeding.
Stress management through exercise and sufficient sleep also contributed to his recovery.
