There is a cancer patient at home. How to arrange three meals a day skillfully? Many "family members" have been worried about this.
"In fact, simple meals are the most practical. In most cases, eating like a normal person will encourage you to eat as much as possible even if you have a good appetite, which is enough to meet the physiological needs of cancer patients. " Experts emphasize that the diet of cancer patients should be based on balanced nutrition, and appropriate amounts of cereals, meat, fruits and vegetables are necessary. A single intake of a certain food will inevitably lead to insufficient nutrition supply.
Therefore, it is advisable to add a certain amount of animal protein to the diet to improve the immunity of the body, so as to better cooperate with the treatment, and of course not to be too fat. Specifically, except for some necessary "taboos", the table food of cancer patients should be as diverse as that of normal people.
Among them, plant foods including fresh vegetables, fruits, beans and coarse grains can account for more than 2/3 of each meal, and fresh fish and eggs can be eaten more, but it is best to choose cooking methods such as boiling, steaming and frying, which can reduce the loss of nutrients in food.
Diet conditioning, attention at different stages
In addition to three meals a day, many patients' families often ask how to cook some soup or stew some supplements for their sick relatives to recuperate. In this regard, experts pointed out that at different stages of treatment, the body of cancer patients has also undergone subtle changes. It is suggested that patients consult Chinese medicine at the same time of specialized treatment, and under the guidance of professional doctors, understand their own physique and the status quo of cold and heat, so as to adjust their bodies through diet and better cooperate with treatment.
Generally speaking, during radiotherapy, many patients will show "yin deficiency and internal heat". This time is not suitable for heating. We should give priority to nourishing yin and clearing heat, and eat more foods such as Sydney, lily, fig and loquat fruit. However, during chemotherapy, it is easy to be weak in qi and blood. At this time, some foods such as red dates, medlar, lotus root and broth should be added.
In addition, you don't need to eat high-grade tonics such as Cordyceps, Ganoderma lucidum and bird's nest often. Suffering from gynecological tumors must not accept tonics such as propolis, because propolis contains high estrogen, which may stimulate the illness to worsen.
