Nutrition Guidelines for Patients: Hereditary Transthyretin Amyloidosis (Spanish)

Adopting simple, healthy habits is one of the most influential factors in developing a balanced lifestyle. Nutrition affects overall physical and mental health and gains further importance when suffering from a disease. Promoting good nutrition may improve the consequences that illness or medication has on our bodies.

Food is an art in our culture. We can look after ourselves and play a socially active role around a table. Beyond the physiological need to nourish ourselves, food allows us to share the pleasure of eating, and discover places and traditions from a new perspective.

This guide aims to make the adaptation process easier and enhance life quality for individuals and families living with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (hATTR). When symptoms begin, these people face a long road in learning how to manage simple daily issues, both physical and psychological.
