Copper Conscious Eating
Copper conscious eating is all about balance. It is important to still eat healthy, nutrient-dense foods while moderating copper intake. If copper is restricted too much, you could be missing out on other important nutrients. Also, if copper is excessively restricted, the body could start to increase the amount of copper it absorbs from food more than it normally would.
A diet for Wilson disease (WD) needs an individualized approach since the severity of the disease and its effects on hepatic and neurological function may change throughout one’s life. For example, someone might need to be more mindful of copper intake when first diagnosed with WD but could be more lenient once the disease is managed with the help of medications and regular testing with a doctor.
