Dietas hiperlipidicas e hipoglicidicas em pacientes com (DPOC) doença pulmonar e obstrutiva crônica

Abstract

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the pathologies of the respiratory tract with many cases in the world and in our Brazilian society, having it as a consequence of the previous and excessive use of tobacco, in addition to pollution and genetic errors. One of the main reasons for the clinical worsening of these patients ends up being weight loss, making it difficult to improve, putting the diet as an ally in recovery. This work aims to search the literature for studies in humans that show the difference in the production of Co2, with the use of hypoglycemic and hyperlipidic diets. The studies were searched in journals and scientific journals, and these were carried out in humans with COPD and healthy individuals. Large portions of the studies were able to show the difference in CO2 production, and clinical improvement, when patients were exposed to a high-fat diet rather than a high-carbohydrate diet. It is concluded that when using hyperlipidic diets, patients achieve a lower production of CO2, thus reducing the respiratory work, but more studies need to be carried out, considering that in the studies presented only fórmulas and supplements were used.
