How can cancer patients increase their appetite during chemotherapy?
(1) Change recipes and cooking methods: A new food can stimulate appetite. For example, patients who often eat pork can eat fish, shrimp, crab, chicken, etc., and some turtles and turtles if possible. Changing cooking methods to make food have different colors and flavors can also increase appetite. However, no matter what kind of food, it must be cooked to a ripe degree before it can be digested and absorbed smoothly.
(2) Medicated diet can stimulate appetite and strengthen the spleen: ① Hawthorn diced meat: Hawthorn 100g, lean pig (or cow) meat 1000g, vegetable oil 250g, and appropriate amounts of mushrooms, ginger, onion, pepper, cooking wine, monosodium glutamate and sugar. Slice the lean meat first, fry it in oil, then cook it thoroughly with hawthorn seasoning, and serve. It can stimulate appetite and fight cancer. ② Radix Astragali and Rhizoma Dioscoreae Soup: Use 30g of Radix Astragali, add water for half an hour, remove residues, add 60g of Rhizoma Dioscoreae slices, cook for 30 minutes, and add white sugar (honey for constipation). Take it every morning and evening 1 time. Has the functions of benefiting qi and promoting blood circulation, stimulating appetite and improving gastrointestinal absorption function.
(3) Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits with high vitamin content: This kind of food can not only increase resistance, but also increase appetite. Some patients think that raw and cold foods should be avoided, but fruits and vegetables should be treated as appropriate. You can eat vegetable juice and a small amount of digestible fruit in the early stage after operation, and the amount should not be too much at a time, so you should eat more meals in small quantities. After the gastrointestinal function is basically restored, you can eat some light and refreshing raw cold dishes and fruits, especially during chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which has obvious appetizing effect.
(4) Exchange of dietary experience between patients: Exchange of dietary experience between patients can not only learn from each other's strong points, but also help to increase appetite, which is very necessary for cancer patients.
Nutrition of cancer patients:
Tumors are consumptive diseases, and unbalanced nutrition and malnutrition are common among tumor patients. Therefore, it is very important to stimulate appetite and strengthen nutrition for the rehabilitation of cancer patients. In our daily life, we should pay attention to reasonable nutrition, try our best to change the food into samples, eat more foods with high protein, multi-vitamins, low animal fat and digestible fruits and vegetables, do not eat stale or irritating Dongsi, eat less smoked, roasted, pickled, fried and salty foods, and mix coarse and fine staple foods to ensure the nutritional balance.
Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, each flavor has its special function. Acid can converge, promote fluid production and stimulate appetite; Sweetness can tonify the spleen and stomach; Bitterness can drain, dry and wet, and a small amount can stimulate appetite; Spicy can also be appetizing; Salty can pass, soft and firm. Foods are basically the above five flavors, or several flavors are mixed together. Patients in tumor recovery period should choose foods with certain anti-cancer components and functions of softening and resolving hard masses.
There are many kinds of nutritious foods, except rice, wheat, millet, soybean, etc., chicken, sheep and beef are qi-invigorating foods, which can be eaten by tumor patients with physical weakness. Duck, tortoise, turtle, crucian carp and prostitute fish are foods that can tonify and strengthen the spleen. Sea cucumber, jellyfish, abalone, kelp, water chestnut and water chestnut can soften and disperse hard lumps, and can eliminate "lumps". Auricularia, Hericium erinaceus, Lentinus edodes, Flammulina velutipes and other edible ground mushrooms have certain anti-cancer effects. In particular, the nutritional value of Lentinus edodes exceeds that of all mushrooms, and it contains seven kinds of amino acids necessary for human body, calcium, copper, iron, manganese and other trace elements, as well as a variety of sugars and enzymes, which can improve and enhance human immunity.
Vegetables, melons, fruits and beans are rich in vitamins and trace elements, which have certain anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects. For example, soybeans, cabbages and Chinese cabbages are all rich in trace element molybdenum, while tomatoes, carrots, water spinach and jujube are rich in vitamins A, C and B, among which water spinach has the best nutrition, which contains multiple vitamins, several times more than tomatoes. Garlic moss, leek, cauliflower and cabbage are not only rich in vitamins, but also contain indigo matrix which can increase the activity of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase and resist the carcinogenic effect of chemical carcinogens.
Chemotherapy is one of the effective means to treat cancer. However, in the process of chemotherapy, there will be some toxic reactions, because anticancer drugs kill cancer cells and also cause certain damage to normal cells. In particular, there will be dysfunction of bone marrow hematopoietic system, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia, which is one of the most common side effects. Hemoglobin sometimes drops, sometimes there will be oral ulcers, alopecia, and even skin pigmentation due to drug allergy, which often occurs in limbs and infusion sites. At the same time, it will also harm the liver and kidneys, and it is often affected by the gastrointestinal system. As soon as some patients use chemotherapy drugs, side effects will follow, such as anorexia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. In severe cases, it will cause dehydration, resulting in "nutrition can't make ends meet", fatigue and listlessness. Therefore, it aggravates the condition, makes the patient "look for medicine" daunting, can't stick to the course of treatment, and misses the treatment opportunity.
In order to make chemotherapy go smoothly, rich nutritious food should be combined with drug treatment to improve the tolerance of human body to the toxic and side effects of anticancer drugs. During chemotherapy, the patient's diet should be high in calories and high in protein, such as chicken, duck, fish, shrimp, lean meat and eggs, so as to play an auxiliary therapeutic role. Diet should be diversified, pay attention to diet collocation, in order to supplement each other with various nutrients and improve the body's immunity. If you have five symptoms of upset heat and yin deficiency, you should eat tremella porridge or soak it in 0.15g of American ginseng as tea. When economic conditions permit, you can stew turtle soup. Pay attention to color, aroma and taste in cooking, and it is best to steam, boil and stew. Don't eat or eat less smoked, fried and baked food, eat less pickled food, smoke or drink alcohol. Alcohol can activate many carcinogens and reduce immune function. The staple food of chemotherapy patients can be steamed stuffed bun, jiaozi, wonton and noodles according to their eating habits and tastes. Patients with poor appetite can eat less and eat more.
For patients with nausea, vomiting and poor appetite, aromatic appetizing Chinese medicines can be taken: 9 grams of rose, 6 grams of Chinese rose, 9 grams of Pogostemon-12 grams, 6 grams of Eupatorium odoratum leaves, 9 grams of orange peel, 9 grams of bergamot 10 grams and 9 grams of Amomum cardamom; For patients with loss of appetite, traditional Chinese medicines can be taken to help digestion: hawthorn12g, cereal bud12g, malt12g, and endothelium corneum Gigeriae Galli12g; For patients with abdominal distension, dull pain and depressed liver-qi, traditional Chinese medicines for soothing liver and relieving depression can be taken: 9 g of Cyperus rotundus, 6 g of Radix Aucklandiae, 9-12 g of Bupleurum, 9 g of Radix Curcumae, and 9-12 g of Fructus Toosendan. Take the above Chinese medicines once every morning and evening.
In recent years, it has been found that vegetables are rich in anticancer substances, such as cabbage, green onions, garlic and white radish, so we should eat more foods rich in beta carotene, vitamin C and vitamin A. Carotene is one of the effective substances for scavenging "free radicals" and has a strong anti-cancer effect. Beta carotene and vitamin C mainly exist in the roots, stems and leaves of green vegetables, such as celery, cauliflower, spinach, leek, lettuce, garlic moss, carrots, onions and tomatoes. It has been reported that soybean contains rich nutrients such as fat, protein, minerals, vitamin E, phospholipids, unsaturated fatty acids, soybean saponins and so on. The anticancer effect of selenium has attracted worldwide attention. The foods containing selenium mainly include meat, liver, kidney, mushrooms, garlic, kelp, laver and shrimp skin. If there is no abdominal distension reaction during chemotherapy, you can eat potatoes, because potatoes and sweet potatoes are rich in starch, vitamins and minerals. Fungal foods, such as mushrooms, mushrooms and auricularia auricula, have special effects on improving the cellular immune function of the body, and can also inhibit or eliminate cancer cells.
According to different seasons and eating habits, chemotherapy patients can choose fruits rich in vitamin C and vitamin A, such as watermelon, banana, apple, orange, peach, pineapple, apricot, orange, hawthorn, strawberry, kiwi fruit and Rosa roxburghii. In order to help the kidneys eliminate harmful substances released by cancer cells, at the same time, supplement the loss of body fluids and increase water supply, you can also drink mung bean soup, milk and soybean milk. If leukopenia and thrombocytopenia occur, eating red dates, red bean porridge, boiled peanuts or stewed black-bone chicken, donkey-hide gelatin and boiled blood tofu, especially donkey-hide gelatin, is a good product for nourishing yin and enriching blood. You can also moxibustion the turtle shell into ash and swallow it with yellow wine.
Psychotherapy can't be ignored during chemotherapy. The psychological effect of patients can change the functional state of the body, and then affect the body's response to drugs. In order to complete the "protracted war" of chemotherapy, patients must integrate dietotherapy and psychotherapy into drug treatment to achieve ideal therapeutic effect.
Pay attention to the law of life, combine work and rest, take proper physical exercise, eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid getting fat and eat nutritious health products containing hormones.
Second, what should tumor patients pay attention to after discharge from radiotherapy and chemotherapy?
First of all, pay attention to avoid catching a cold after discharge, because after chemotherapy, white blood cells often drop to a minimum, so pay attention to avoid infection.
Secondly, we should pay attention to diet and reasonable nutrition in order to improve the body's tolerance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy and promote rehabilitation. Eat nutritious foods such as meat, eggs, milk, fish and bean products as usual; Eat more diets rich in vitamins A and C, such as green vegetables and fruits; Do not eat overheated, overheated, hard, moldy, smoked and roasted food; Constipation patients should eat laxative foods such as bananas and honey.
1, emphasize balanced nutrition, and pay attention to strengthening vital energy and tonifying deficiency.
Deficiency in lung cancer patients is the main contradiction in the process of disease occurrence and development. Deficiency causes cancer, while cancer leads to deficiency, which is filled with solid, and is based on deficiency. The purpose of dietotherapy is to ensure that lung cancer patients have adequate nutritional supplements, improve the body's disease resistance, and promote patients' rehabilitation, and the general principle should be strengthening the body's resistance to deficiency. Therefore, Neijing says: "All grains, fruits and vegetables should be eaten and nourished, and there should be no excesses." Dietotherapy for lung cancer patients should be nutritious, diversified and balanced. As the Neijing says, "Five grains are for nourishment, five fruits are for help, five animals are for benefit, and five vegetables are for filling." If it is biased, it will be harmful and useless.
2. Be familiar with the attribution of sexual taste, and emphasize the dialectical feeding.
Like other diseases, patients with lung cancer are different in yin and yang, and cold and heat are different in excess and deficiency. Food is also different in four flavors: cold and heat and cold, bitter and bitter, salty and salty. Heat syndrome should be cold and cold, and cold syndrome should be warm. Five flavors enter the mouth, each with its own way, sweet into the spleen, pungent into the lung, salty into the kidney, bitter into the heart, sour into the liver. pungent and warm powder, such as ginger and scallion; Sweet and gentle, such as yam, Euryale ferox and caramel; Light taste and permeability, such as wax gourd and coix seed; Sour and astringent, such as ebony and hawthorn; Salty and soft, such as seaweed, kelp, oysters and so on.
3, choose anti-cancer food, and strive to be targeted
Medicine and food are homologous, and some foods have both dietotherapy and anti-cancer effects, so they can be selected and applied in a targeted way. For example, foods in daily life, such as garlic, bean products and green tea, are all good anti-cancer drugs. Some recent studies show that many foods are beneficial to the prevention and treatment of lung cancer. For example, goose blood can improve symptoms and increase white blood cells in lung cancer, and it has been developed into tablets. Coix lachryma-jobi contains coix lachryma-jobi fat, which has obvious inhibitory effect on cancer cells. Mung beans combined with Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch and chemotherapy drugs can cool and detoxify and reduce side effects.
Diet after chemotherapy for lung cancer
Dietary prescription after chemotherapy for lung cancer 2. Polygonatum odoratum and Dendrobium honey drink: Polygonatum odoratum15g, Dendrobium15g, and proper amount of honey. Soak Dendrobium officinale in water for 20 minutes, then decoct for 15 minutes, take thick juice, and add appropriate amount of honey in several times before drinking. It is suitable for lung cancer patients with loss of body fluid after chemotherapy.
After chemotherapy for lung cancer, the diet prescription 1 and six kinds of spleen-strengthening porridge: yam15g, coix seed 30g, white lentils15g, 2 carrots, jujube15g and japonica rice150g. Boil the last six ingredients with water to make porridge, and then take it several times. You can add some sugar to taste. It is suitable for spleen and stomach deficiency after radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Diet and nursing care of lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy
Diet and nursing of lung cancer chemotherapy: the toxic side effects of digestive tract directly affect the persistence and effect of chemotherapy. Encourage patients to eat a small amount and eat more, and the diet should be light. Eat liquid and semi-liquid which are easy to digest and contain little cellulose, and avoid spicy, cold, hard and greasy food. Chemical drugs can cause leukopenia, so we should eat more foods rich in protein, iron and vitamins, such as animal liver, lean meat, jujube, longan, donkey-hide gelatin, fresh fruits and vegetables. For patients with loss of appetite, indigestion and diarrhea, foods that strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach can be supplemented, such as coix seed, white lentils and jujube. For patients with severe reaction and long-term nutritional intake disorder, parenteral nutrition input method can be considered to improve the patient's condition. In the process of the third chemotherapy, patients with chemotherapy generally have loss of appetite. Intravenous supplementation alone can not guarantee the energy supply of patients, which is not conducive to disease recovery. Patients can be given oral multi-enzyme tablets to help digestion and stimulate appetite. At the same time, we should patiently persuade and encourage patients to eat. Pay attention to the frequency, quantity and color of vomiting in patients with severe vomiting, and cooperate with the application of antiemetic treatment. Those with impaired liver function should stay in bed, eat less and eat more meals, and enter a nutritious and digestible diet.
Most chemotherapy drugs have bone marrow inhibition, which leads to low immune function, decreased body resistance and decreased white blood cells, which is easy to lead to infection. Patients pay attention to personal hygiene, keep their skin and mouth clean, brush their teeth and brush their bodies every morning and evening, and disinfect their wards every day. Keep the indoor air circulating and fresh, at the same time, use blood-raising drugs correctly according to the doctor's advice, closely observe the changes of blood picture, regularly detect body temperature and find signs of infection as soon as possible.
During chemotherapy, you should drink plenty of water, about 2000ml per day, to facilitate the excretion of chemotherapy drugs, and to prevent the precipitation of high concentration uric acid from inducing kidney calculi.
Limbs on the side receiving intravenous infusion should not move too much to prevent drug extravasation and local tissue necrosis caused by the displacement of the puncture needle.
Skin toxic reaction, avoid scratching, pay attention to keep the skin clean and dry, and avoid infection.
Chemotherapy and antiemetic diet for lung cancer
There are some ways to deal with nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy:
Nausea and vomiting are the two most common and terrible side effects of chemotherapy. The frequency and severity of occurrence vary with different drugs and different people.
Nausea and vomiting usually occur a few hours after chemotherapy and do not last long. Severe nausea and vomiting lasting for several days are not common. When the patient is unusually nauseous, vomits for more than a day, or is so nauseous that he can't even swallow liquid, he must inform the doctor or nurse.
Changing eating habits and taking antiemetic drugs can alleviate these two symptoms. Different antiemetic drugs are effective for different people. Therefore, it is inevitable to try several drugs before the symptoms are relieved. Don't give up easily. Patients should continue to work with doctors to find the most effective drugs.
