Leukemia patients should pay attention to the following points in their diet:
1. The color, aroma, taste, shape and taste should be good:
Due to chemical drug treatment, patients Saliva secretion is often reduced, and digestive enzymes are also reduced accordingly. The sense of taste is poor, and symptoms such as loss of appetite and abdominal distension often occur. Recipes or cooking methods should be changed frequently, and meals with good color, aroma, taste, and shape should be made according to the patient's preferences to increase the patient's appetite and facilitate the recovery of leukemia patients.
2. What is the diet for late-stage leukemia?
Try to choose foods that are light, less oily, nutritious, and cooked by stewing, boiling, steaming, etc., which are more nutritious, healthier and easier to absorb.
3. Increase the intake of fresh vegetables and fruits.
Fresh vegetables and fruits contain a lot of fiber and vitamins. Not only can it increase resistance, but it can also increase appetite. This is one of the dietary considerations for late-stage leukemia. In the early stage after surgery, you can eat vegetable juice and a small amount of easily digestible fruits. The amount should not be large at each time, and small meals should be eaten frequently. After the gastrointestinal function is basically restored, you can eat some light and refreshing cold dishes and fruits, which have an obvious appetizing effect, especially during chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
4. Drink more water.
Due to the massive destruction of white blood cells, especially during chemotherapy, the concentration of uric acid in serum and urine increases and accumulates in the renal tubules, easily causing obstruction and uric acid nephropathy.
I wish you a speedy recovery!
