Indeed, diet has a certain influence on tumors. "Su Wen. "On the Law of Dirty Qi" says: "Poison attacks evil, five grains feed, five fruits help, five livestock benefit, five vegetables supplement, and the smell is combined to supplement the essence." There is a saying that medicine and food are homologous in all previous dynasties, especially for chronic diseases, the role of diet is more important.

Chinese medicine attaches importance to diet. In the long process of tumor treatment and rehabilitation, emphasis is placed on dialectical feeding, and corresponding dietotherapy prescriptions are adopted according to different constitutions and different treatment methods. Long-term use is more effective.

But many patients often eat wrong. Have you ever had the following misunderstandings?

Myth 1: Drinking soup is the most nutritious.

Many people think that "nutrition is in soup". When preparing meals for oncology patients, it is inseparable from various "tonic soups"-fish soup, pigeon soup, bone soup and so on. However, people's food intake is limited, and cancer patients have a bad appetite. Therefore, in the ward, we often see the strange scene of "patients drinking soup and their families eating soup residue".

Actually, this is a misunderstanding. According to the test, the nutrition of the soup is only 5% 10% of the raw material, mainly some vitamins and inorganic salts, and most of the nutrition (especially protein) is actually left in the soup residue.

Therefore, patients are advised to eat soup and residue together as much as possible to supplement more nutrition. Of course, some patients have poor digestive ability, or can't eat dregs because of illness, or have poor appetite, so they should seek the help of dieticians.

Myth 2: You can starve to death if you don't eat.

There is a "hunger therapy" circulating among some cancer patients, and it is believed that not eating can make tumor cells have no energy to grow and then "starve to death". So they refuse to eat or only eat vegetarian food such as vegetables and fruits, and people are getting thinner and weaker.

This is a wrong view. Tumor cells are abnormal cells. They can divide and grow very quickly. Even if the body is malnourished, they can rob the normal cells of nutrition, so they will never starve to death.

If you are hungry for a long time, it will cause malnutrition in the body, affect the growth and protection of normal cells in the body, reduce your immunity and increase the risk of infection. If the nutrition for preventing tumor cells is obtained at the expense of normal tissues, the final result will be "mutually assured destruction".

Myth 3: Diet therapy is better than drug therapy.

Some swollen people are "anxious to see a doctor", hoping for various remedies, health products and supplements, hoping for a miracle.

Although many foods have certain auxiliary anticancer effects, there is no reliable human research evidence to prove that special recipes, foods, vitamins, minerals, food additives, herbs or compound products can cure tumors or prevent recurrence.

Therefore, anti-cancer treatment should follow the prescriptions of professional doctors and standardize treatment. Considering that some vitamins or supplements in some dietary remedies will affect the effect of tumor treatment, it is recommended to consult a doctor before use and not to eat blindly.

1, pay attention to a balanced diet and diversify foods.

The diet of cancer patients, like that of normal people, should also follow the suggestions in the Dietary Pagoda of China Residents to ensure the balance of dietary types and the diversification of food varieties.

On this basis, we should give consideration to the digestive function and treatment side effects of tumor patients. During radiotherapy and chemotherapy, patients may need light and digestible food to tolerate it, or eat professional enteral nutrition. In addition, patients with cancer complicated with obesity and diabetes should not lose weight and control their diet too strictly during the treatment.

2, dietary taboos, but to avoid eating according to syndrome differentiation.

Some cancer patients have a saying that they can't eat hair, but only alkaline food. In fact, these statements lack scientific basis and cannot be biased.

The so-called "hair" usually refers to foods that aggravate or induce some allergic diseases (asthma, urticaria, emergency and hepatitis, etc.). ). If the patient is not allergic and does not have the above diseases, there is no need to exclude animal food containing high-quality protein.

Whether the diet of cancer patients should be taboo should be decided according to the condition and the individual characteristics of different patients, and it is not possible to stipulate what can and cannot be eaten in general.

First, dietary taboos should vary from person to person.

Choose the diet according to the patient's illness attribute and physique type. If the patient can't identify the nature and constitution of the disease, he can also consult a Chinese medicine oncologist. This aspect is professional and difficult for patients to master.

Second, dietary taboos vary according to the condition.

Different diseases choose different diets, such as the dietary principles of breast cancer patients: eat more nutritious foods, pay attention to dietary balance, avoid spicy fried foods, and eat more digestible foods; Dietary principles of patients with lung cancer: diverse, balanced, low-fat and digestible; Dietary principles of patients with ovarian cancer: light diet, no high-dose lactic acid and excessive animal fat, no smoked, moldy and nitrite-containing food, and less fried, spicy and pickled food; Don't smoke, don't drink too much, don't overeat, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and supplement protein and multivitamins.

Third, dietary taboos should vary from treatment to treatment.

Surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapy are the main treatment methods of modern tumors. Choose different foods according to the response of different treatments to patients, and broaden the range of food choices during this period to ensure nutrition and ensure the smooth progress of treatment.

In short, the diet of cancer patients should be taboo, which varies from person to person, from illness to illness, and from treatment methods. The restrictions should not be too strict, and patients should not be so demanding that they are at a loss or even afraid. If they are not sure, they can try food, eat less, observe and experience their reaction to food. If there is no discomfort, they can rest assured to eat, otherwise they will not eat or eat carefully.

3. The ingredients you eat should be natural and fresh.

Cancer patients should try to choose natural and fresh foods, and eat less or no canned and processed meat foods; Food should be frozen in the cold storage, not for a long time; Pay attention to food safety, cook scientifically, and don't eat burnt food.
