Be sure to take in adequate amounts of clean, lean protein, at least one gram of protein for each two pounds of body weight. If you find this difficult, take a whey-protein supplement to bring your consumption of that level.
To help flush toxins from your body, drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of pure water every day. Do not drink tap water. Tap water contains various contaminants, including chlorine, which damages red blood cells. Also, many municipal water supplies have been found to contain tiny parasites such as giardia and cryptosporidia that can be devastating to a person with a compromised immune system.
Include in your diet generous amounts of the cruciferous vegetables - broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and their elatives - which contain cancer-fighting phytochemicals. Also enjoy onions and garlic often. These plants have natural antibiotic properties.
If weight loss is a problem, try eating multiple small meals rather than two or three large ones each day, and take protein and carbohydrate supplements between meals.
Eliminate all alcohol, caffeine, sugar, fried foods, and junk food from your diet. These substances stress the body and depress the immune system.
As much as possible, eat organically gown and raised foods to reduce your exposure to pesticide residues and other toxins. Wash all produce thoroughly before eating it. To minimize your chances of developing foodborne illness, be scrupulously clean in your handling and preparation of food.
Some people with HIV disease have reported feeling better after switching to a macrobiotic diet, which consists primarily of well-cooked whole grains, fresh vegetables, protein-rich beans and soy foods, and sea vegetables, with limited amounts of fish and other animal protein. If you are interested in trying such a diet, The Macrobiotic Way by Michio Kushi can serve as an excellent introduction.
