If you have cancer, you should pay strict attention to your diet, and you should not be paralyzed or take it lightly. Otherwise, it will make cancer recur and even death. Cancer patients should pay attention to at least the following points in their diet.

Three types of food are best not eaten or eaten sparingly:

First, hairy food. Such as chicken, goose, mutton, pork and other hairy food is best not to eat. Especially do not eat within five years of cancer, after five years as little as possible.

Second is sugar. According to so much information, sugar tends to make cancer cells grow and it is best not to eat it. A relative of mine got lung cancer and was sugar free.

Third, alcohol. Especially do not drink a lot. Several of my coworkers thought they had cancer had been well, did not do to stop drinking, resulting in cancer recurrence and death.

Three types of food should be eaten in appropriate quantities:

One is turtle. Turtle is a high-quality high protein, eaten regularly can enhance immunity, but each time to eat the right amount.

Secondly, duck eggs. It is also a high quality protein with comprehensive and easy-to-absorb nutrients. Insist on eating them for a long time without forgetting. Controversial about eating eggs.

Third, beans. It is a high quality plant protein and should be eaten consistently and switched around.

Eat a "four appropriate" diet:

One is to regulate your diet to suit your body and cancer status.

Secondly, we should eat in moderation. Not too hungry, not too full, do not binge drinking and alcoholism do not quit smoking.

Thirdly, it is important to apply yourself to the food you eat. People can't say that cancer patients can eat whatever is good for them, and some of the same kind of food is good for them, while some are bad for them. You have to eat the food that is suitable for you, and do not follow what people say.

Fourth, adapt to your body. Adapt, regulate, and condition your diet to the foods you eat that you are not comfortable with.

Dietary modification is an important part of cancer patient's conditioning, and it is important to have a balanced and reasonable diet in moderation, and to keep your mouth shut.

Several suggestions have been summarized from years of experience in clinical oncology rehabilitation:

1、Sugar food less

It is not that you can't eat it, but you are required to eat less, because sugar favors the growth of cancer cells, which have a very strong ability to decompose sugar, 70-80 times more than normal cells. Through the blood of cancerous tumors, 70% of the sugar will be consumed by the tumors, and the fermentation of blood sugar will impair the immune function and reduce the phagocytosis ability of white blood cells.

2. Choose supplements according to your physical condition

Supplements are only to help the body recover, play a supporting role, supplements are just supplements, not drugs, and can not replace drugs. Supplement samples are not the more expensive the better.

3, protein food intake in moderation, not excessive

Protein food: such as milk, eggs, fish, lean meat, soybean products and so on. Slightly higher than the normal amount can be, insufficient intake can make the body resistance lower, prompting the occurrence of tumors. However, if the amount of protein is raised to 2-3 times of the amount needed by normal people, there is again the possibility of inducing tumor patients. Daily intake of 1.5 times of the normal amount is enough.

4. Fat intake should be similar to normal and should not be increased

Vegetable oil should be used as the mainstay, and less deep-frying, pan-frying, and smoking should be used in cooking; steaming, stir-frying, and stewing soups are preferred to keep the food light and tasty.

It is important to ensure an adequate diet during tumor treatment to ensure that the patient's body receives the nutrients it needs.According to the study, the weight of tumor patients is an important factor affecting prognosisYou can:

Eat smaller, more frequent meals, such as 5-6 meals per day, reducing the amount of each intake, rather than three meals per day;

No matter what time of day it is, you can have a healthy snack when you are hungry;

Add high-calorie foods such as butter, olive oil, nuts, gravy, powdered milk, and protein powder to the patient's regular meals for extra calories and protein;

Drink water between meals, not at the same time as eating, so that the patient does not feel full from drinking water, which can interfere with food intake;

Eat foods that smell good and taste good, or add spices or flavorings to the patient's food;

Dining with family or friends;

Buying pre-cooked or pre-cooked foods requires freezing them;

If the patient is unable to cook or go to the store, ask someone else to cook for the patient or buy something for the patient;

Walking for about an hour before eating can increase intestinal peristalsis and promote digestion and absorption of food;

Ask your doctor if the patient needs to take vitamins or go to the nutrition department.

These methods may be helpful to patients if they experience side effects after treatment that affect the patient's appetite:

If the patient has dry mouth, drink plenty of water and avoid hard or overly dry foods (e.g., crackers), and the patient can eat wetter foods, or ice chips or hard candies without sucrose.

If the patient has mouth ulcers, eat soft foods that are easy to chew and swallow.

You can cut the patient's food into small pieces or use a blender to mash the food.

Try to avoid foods that are too spicy or salty.

If the patient is experiencing nausea, eat light and dry foods such as crackers, rice, and bread and avoid greasy foods.

If the patient has difficulty passing stools, try to drink as much water as possible, and also eat high-fiber foods such as vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, and oatmeal, as well as some breads and cereals.

If the patient has diarrhea, drink plenty of water to prevent the body from losing too much water, avoid drinking milk, avoid eating greasy foods, and unlike in the case of difficult bowel movements, the patient should eat fewer foods that contain a lot of fiber.

Malnutrition in patients with malignant tumors will reduce the effectiveness of tumor treatment, increase the toxic side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, lower the quality of life of patients, and shorten the survival time of tumor patients. Different cancers have different diets to a certain extent, so let's analyze the diets of the more common cancers.

(1) Dietary principles of lung cancer: light and low salt, high vitamin, high protein, moderate carbohydrate diet. Dietary attention should be paid not to have too much refined sugar such as white granulated sugar, brown sugar, etc., because these foods are easy to produce phlegm and generate too much CO2, which is unfavorable to the respiratory function. Beans contain phytoestrogens which are also anti-tumor substances and can play a role in fighting lung cancer.

(2) Dietary principles of liver cancer: light and low-salt diet, high vitamin, high carbohydrate and low fat. Dietary attention should be paid to foods that both protect liver and have anti-tumor effects, such as beans and whole grains rich in B vitamins. Do not eat moldy food, especially peanuts, soybeans and corn that are easily contaminated by Aspergillus flavus, which contains aflatoxin with obvious hepatocarcinogenic effects.

(3) Dietary principles for stomach cancer: light and low-salt diet, high protein, high vitamin, moderate fat, fresh food, easy to digest. Don't eat burnt food, fish or meat grilled directly on fire, cured meat and bacon can only be eaten occasionally, and it is better to eat fresh food because nitrite in cured food can lead to gastric cancer, while fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in vitamin C which can reduce the content of nitrite.

(4) Dietary principles for breast cancer: low-fat, high-vitamin, high-fiber, appropriate protein diet. Modern research shows that high-fat diet, intake of alcoholic beverages and obesity increase the incidence of breast cancer, so attention should be paid to limiting the intake of fat and alcoholic beverages.

In order to avoid cancer recurrence, we have to change the bad dietary habits and ensure the regularity and rationality of good dietary habits. We should also keep a good mood and strengthen physical exercise, so as to promote the immunity of the body and ultimately achieve the purpose of preventing the recurrence of tumor.

The authoritative interpretation of Pharmaceutical Affairs, unauthorized reproduction, plagiarism will be punished.

Diet, many patients are often troubled by this, afraid of eating wrongly, or deliberately pursuing what to eat to fight cancer, which often makes the patients apprehensive about what to eat, and partiality and under-eating lead to malnutrition! Some patients with esophageal cancer come for review, they are weak and thin, and they say they have drunk a lot of fish soup and chicken soup, why don't they eat meat? I can't say one, two, three.

Food is the source of energy for the human body, let's not talk about whether the food is "good" or not, food is not poison, nutritional supply must be sufficient so that the body can have the capital to fight against cancer. A machine, no matter add quality, or inferior oil, first let the machine turn up, the machine does not turn, and then good oil what is the use? Therefore.The patient must first eat. It's good to be able to eat.。

The specific nutritional status of patients is different, and there are also differences between the treatment and recovery periods. If the patient's physical condition is poor, or the treatment period should eat "good" some, milk, eggs, meat proportion larger, if the physical condition is good, or the recovery period, "good" food should be controlled some, fruits and vegetables, grains and cereals more, the proportion is appropriate.Therefore, the nutrition should also be adjusted according to the patient's specific situation.For example, the gastrointestinal tract of breast cancer patients is very little affected, and it's not good for many patients to gain more than 10 pounds at the end of surgery and radiotherapy, right?

Cancer dietary misconceptions are also many, such as "do not eat, eat less to starve to death tumor", the tumor did not starve to death people also starved! There is no evidence to show that any food can "send" a tumor. What about anti-cancer food? Merchants may be more publicity, the substance does not have much effect, at least there is no obvious effect.

So, should cancer patients avoid food? To! After all, there are many foods and eating habits that do not meet health standards. Avoid too spicy and stimulating, fried and smoked and salted food, avoid alcohol, some things to avoid a little more ruthless, wine is best not to drink a drop. Some diseases have some special contraindications, such as breast cancer, snow clams, purple river car (animal placenta), royal jelly due to the high content of animal estrogen should also be avoided!

In conclusion.Cancer patients should have enough nutritional supplements to master the collocation of reasonable, balanced nutrition, on the basis of which meet the health standards can be, there is no need to deliberately pursue anti-cancer food, avoid some unhealthy food.It's not good to overthink what to eat instead, right? I'm @Dr. Liu Yongyi , thank you for reading!

Cancer is also known as malignant tumor in medicine. Nutrition for cancer patients has always perplexed us doctors and of course families and patients.

Up to 50% of oncology patients are malnourished at the time of initial diagnosis, and the prevalence of malnutrition among hospitalized malignancy patients reaches 67%.

Why is the incidence of malnutrition so high?

1. Many patients believe that they can "starve" their tumors to death by starving!

2. Studies have found that increasing the proportion of protein in the diet can improve the physical performance and quality of life of tumor patients and prolong their survival time. As for the so-called "hairy food" accelerating tumor growth, there is no scientific basis. For example, deep-sea fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which is a very important nutrient. And the WHO has mentioned the "red meat carcinogenic" said, to consider the intake, not that red meat can not eat, but do not advocate eating more.

3. There is no kind of food that tumor patients absolutely cannot eat, of course, there is no special effect "anti-cancer food". Tumor patients must be reminded that they should not blindly avoid food, believe in folk recipes and delay their condition. The best choice is to combine meat and vegetables. Fresh fruits and vegetables, fruits, especially dark green and yellow fruits and vegetables, such as broccoli, spinach, oranges and so on. You can also increase the proportion of white meat and moderate supplementation of soy products. Eat fish and poultry and other white meat intake every week, 50 to 100 grams each time. Boiling, barbecuing, frying, stir-frying and other cooking methods are not recommended. Boiling destroys a large number of water-soluble nutrients, and high-temperature baking, frying and stir-frying produces a large number of hazardous or cancer-causing chemicals, such as benzo(a)pyrene.

4. Do not believe in the so-called anti-cancer food, in your recipe to avoid all kinds of processed food, pickled food is very necessary.

5. If it is due to poor appetite, special medical formulas can be taken orally under the guidance of a nutritionist to replenish energy and a variety of nutrients.

As a final reminder, don't be overly anxious despite the diagnosis of a tumor: remember, as long as you don't lose weight, you'll have plenty of confidence to adhere to subsequent treatments!

Dr. Tsang of the Nutrition Department brings you professional nutrition knowledge, like my articles on the point of attention oh!

This article is partly based on Prof. Shi Hanping's "Family Nutrition and Rehabilitation Guidelines for Tumor Patients".

Tumor patients are a special group of people who need nutritional therapy. In terms of diet, the role of food is crucial, and the most basic dietary principle for tumor patients is a high-protein, high-fat diet to maintain weight loss.

Specifically, there are several things to keep in mind

First, make sure you get your energy intake.

By ensuring energy intake, I mean that it is a basic requirement to eat enough, never go hungry, and keep weight loss at bay. Weight loss, especially in tumor patients who themselves have a small weight base, means that the diet is not well taken care of. Even for patients who are slightly overweight, weight loss is not recommended. At the very least, it is important to stay within the standard weight range.

Second, make sure you have a high protein diet.

Adequate protein is what tumor patients must pay attention to. In general, about 1g of protein per kilogram of body weight is enough, so if it is a 60kg ordinary person, then the daily protein intake of 60g can basically meet the body's needs, but for tumor patients, it is far from enough. But for tumor patients, this is far from enough. The protein requirement of tumor patients is about 1.2-1.5g per kilogram of body weight, that is to say, for the same 60kg tumor patient, the protein requirement will be about 70-90g. To ensure so much protein intake, patients should have at least the following food intake every day: 300g of milk, 1 egg, 75g of fish and shrimp, 50g of meat, 200g of tofu, 200g of staple food, 500g of vegetables, 250g of fruits, on the whole, fish, meat, eggs, milk, protein is relatively rich, to eat relatively more. Of course, if you do not eat one of them, to use other foods to add on, for example, do not drink milk, it is necessary to eat more than one egg, do not eat lean meat, we must eat a little more fish and shrimp, in short, the protein food can not be less, and to vigorously eat high protein. For patients with food intake obstacles, you can properly supplement some whey protein powder to increase protein intake.

Third, eat less sweets, drinks, cold drinks

Most sweets and cold drinks contain a lot of sugar, also known as carbohydrates. Excessive carbohydrate intake is detrimental to tumor patients, so eliminate sweets, beverages, desserts and cold drinks as much as possible.

Fourth, no processed meats

Processed meats, especially processed red meats, ham hocks, bacon, meat loaf, etc. are class 1 carcinogens in their own right. Tumor patients are at a higher risk of developing another type of tumor than the general population, so it is essential to minimize the risk factors as much as possible.

All in all, tumor patients are extremely need to pay attention to the diet with the crowd, often a reasonable diet with the better to extend the life of the tumor patients and improve the quality of life.

My father was diagnosed with rectal cancer in 1979, and was hospitalized for half a month to prepare for surgery. The day before the surgery, my father decided not to have it done, seeing that after many surgeries, those who had a recurrence had to carry a tube and a bag on the body, which was unacceptable to him, and so he decided that even if he died, he would not be able to accept this. He went home at the age of 49, and was discharged from the hospital to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor at a small health center. Since then, my father quit smoking and drinking, diet, seafood can not eat a bite, beef and mutton can not eat, hen can not eat, and sea fish can not eat, eat a pound of sea cucumbers and small hospitals with Chinese medicine pills every month, a total of ate to have more than ten years it, sea cucumbers in the 80's is also very expensive three to four hundred pounds, when a person's salary is also 7, 80, the northern sea cucumber is not good to buy, because my father's work is a sales so Because my father worked as a salesman, he had friends all over the country who could buy it. Later, my father felt that there was no problem with his health, so he didn't eat it. Since then, my father didn't have any disease and didn't take any medicine, and he lived until he was 85 years old. Finally, I would like to add that he only ate vegetables and rice and flour, and he could eat pork and rooster, and he never ate a single bite of anything that people thought was good, and he wouldn't even try a bite of it if we asked him to. The last point of sea cucumber played a decisive role.

Recovery of cancer patients does not only rely on medication, but also very important in terms of nursing care. The so-called three parts of treatment, seven parts of nursing care, among which diet is the most important part of nursing care. The diet of cancer patients needs to be combined with the characteristics of cancer patients, for example, some advanced cancer patients may have obvious malnutrition and low appetite, the specific dietary program needs to be combined with nutritional evaluation, but in general, cancer patients need to choose healthier food, and their diets need to pay attention to the following 5 aspects:

1. Appropriately increase the proportion of fresh fruits and vegetables

Fresh vegetables and fruits are rich in dietary fiber and vitamins, and nutritionists believe that foods such as fruits and green leafy vegetables are rich in vitamin C, carotene, vitamin A has a certain effect on cancer inhibition, vitamin C's inhibition of cancer with the synthesis of carcinogenic nitrosyl compounds, carotene is a strong antioxidant to protect the cells from oxidative damage related to cancer prevention, beta-carotene is a precursor for vitamin A synthesis, and vitamin A maintains the structural integrity of epithelial tissue and enhances immunoprotection.

Vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber are also very helpful in anti-cancer, this is because insoluble fiber in the digestive tract can adsorb or dilute carcinogens, shorten the time of intestinal passage, thus reducing the incidence of colon cancer. In addition, coarse grains and grains and cereals are also rich in fiber, and it is recommended to eat more of such foods. Epidemiological survey found that the proportion of colon cancer in people who do not eat fruit or rarely eat fruit is relatively large, which also provides a reference direction for the diet of cancer patients.

2. Eat more food rich in high quality protein

Cancer patients tend to have a higher basal metabolic rate, decreased protein synthesis or increased loss, and are prone to negative nitrogen balance, especially some of the patients and friends of radiation, chemotherapy or surgical treatment, they need to be supplemented with nutrients, and high-quality proteins are easier to be absorbed by the body, which can help the body to grow and repair tissues. Therefore, it is recommended for cancer patients to consume more plant-based high-quality proteins, such as soybeans, and animal-based high-quality proteins, such as fresh fish and shrimp, dairy products.

3. Eat less processed meat, red meat and high-fat, high-sugar foods

Processed meat refers to any meat that has been salted, dried, fermented, smoked, or otherwise treated to enhance flavor or extend shelf life, such as ham and sausage, which are common in street food on the market; and red meat is simply pork, beef, lamb, and other animal meats. Research has proved that eating more processed meat and red meat will induce colon cancer and other diseases, so cancer patients, friends, need to limit the intake of processed meat and red meat food.

A high-fat, high-sugar diet may lead to obesity, and cancer patients are advised to limit their intake of such foods, while avoiding the complications of the three highs and preventing a second blow to their health from the disease. Studies have shown that cancer cells are particularly attracted to the glucose supplied in the blood, and they consume glucose 20 to 30 times faster than ordinary cells. The higher the blood sugar level, the easier it is for cancer cells to produce large amounts of lactic acid. Therefore, it is recommended that friends of cancer patients limit high-sugar foods and strictly control the blood sugar concentration after meals, which can force cancer cells to reduce the amount of lactic acid produced, thus preventing them from spreading and metastasizing and partially losing their ability to do evil.

4. Stop smoking and drinking

Cigarettes and alcohol are both recognized as carcinogens by the World Health Organization, and staying away from tobacco and alcohol is beneficial to the recovery of cancer patients.

5. Be careful to avoid excessive fetishization of anti-cancer foods

When a person has cancer, often there will be friends and relatives will provide a variety of dietary advice, and there will even be some dietary recipes claiming to be able to fight cancer and cause cancer, these are often unreliable, food is food, although a healthy diet is very important and conducive to promoting the recovery of cancer patients, unhealthy food will aggravate the condition of cancer, however, it is necessary to remind friends of cancer patients, while focusing on a healthy diet, do not completely rely on food to fight cancer, and more importantly, understand that the real treatment for cancer still requires drugs or surgery.

There are 4 things to consider and recommend when you have cancer

1. Try to eat as much as possible when you want to eat: Cancer treatment will cause a lot of harm to the body, which in turn reduces the patient's willingness to eat. Therefore, on balance, maintaining body weight and supplementing calories and proteins are the primary goals, and there are no contraindications in diet except for milk, honey and unsterilized food. Regardless of whether the cancer is in the early, middle or late stages, as long as the cancer patients like to eat, it is recommended that they can eat as much as possible to maintain the nutritional intake of Ali.

2. Don't force patients to eat what they don't want to eat: If they really can't eat, don't force them to eat, so as not to increase the psychological pressure on the patient's diet, which is counterproductive. Suggestions can be done through the ease of exercise, or drink some slightly acidic juice to help appetizing, in order to increase the patient's appetite.

3. Good appetite to the main meal: During the treatment period, when the appetite is good, the main meal must be eaten more to protein and grains and roots and tubers, and then supplemented with fruits and vegetables as appropriate, but also recommended that you can choose more natural foods, avoiding processed foods.

4. Cancer supplements for poor appetite: If patients really cannot eat, they still need to maintain basic nutritional supplements. At this time, it is recommended to choose professionally formulated nutritional supplements containing enough calories, protein and sufficient fish oil EPA to help make up for the body's nutritional needs, reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, and help patients maintain their weight.
