There are many opinions in regards to diet and its effects on Thrombocytopenia. There are some very crazy dietary recommendations given online that really do not have any scientific basis. Some of these diets are recommended by those who are supposed to know something about nutrition but really do not have any idea of what to recommend a person with low platelets. As you read this article you will find out the truth about which diet really increases your platelets.
Diet Rich in Protein
Protein Low
It may seem logical to choose a diet that is high in protein. Why? Because since every building block in the body is formed with protein one may conclude that adding more protein may be beneficial and result in more platelets. But the truth of the matter is, even though it seems logical it does not really work.
The American way of eating is already full of high amounts of protein. Increasing the protein intake is just going to worsen the situation. Too much protein can alter the immune system and cause more inflammation that can result in more platelet destruction. Especially if this protein derived from animals. Dairy protein is also very offensive to many who have Thrombocytopenia.
I understand the need of protein. But the body only needs from 30 to 60 grams a day of protein. Anything higher than this will hurt the body.
A Diet Low in Calories
Many studies have shown the effects that a high macronutrient diet can have on experimental rats that suffer from low platelets
In one study, two groups of rats that suffered from low platelets were chosen. Each group was given a specific diet. One group had a diet low in calories while the other group was permitted to eat abundantly.
Scientist were surprised at the results of this study because the group of mice that were overfed got worse with the high caloric and protein diet while the rats that received the low calorie diet had a dramatic increase in their platelet level.
Because of this, it is really better to reduce the amount of protein and rich foods from the diet and reduce calorie intake. You can improve you low platelet count by following a low calorie diet that has only moderate amounts of protein. You can dramatically boost your low platelets this way.
Always consult a qualified health care practitioner knowledgeable in nutrition before changing your diet if you have a low blood platelet count.
