Providing balanced diet to nasopharyngeal cancer patients is the only way to improve their nutritional status level. Radiotherapy will lead to enhanced protein catabolism and weakened anabolism, resulting in negative nitrogen balance, so it is advocated to give patients a high protein diet, but most patients have a misunderstanding that increasing nutrition means increasing animal food, and some researches have shown that eating too much animal food can increase the acidity of the blood, which will aggravate the burden of the liver and kidney and lead to the decline of immunity, instead of being detrimental to the body. Therefore animal food should be moderate. Secondly, patients should have sufficient supply of carbohydrates to ensure both positive nitrogen balance and thermal energy to meet the needs of the body. Then how should nasopharyngeal cancer patients eat correctly? Generally, there are two extremes in patient's diet: one is too much supplementation, intake of high protein food and tonic; the other is too much taboo, both incorrect dietary views will lead to nutritional imbalance. The right thing to do is for the patient's specific situation, to achieve a reasonable diet, a reasonable daily intake of cereals, lipids, proteins, fruits and vegetables. Here's what patients should eat. 1. It is recommended that patients eat at least 5 kinds of vegetables every day, as well as supplementing antioxidant nutrients, which can reduce the adverse effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. β-carotene and selenium have the effect of inhibiting the expression of oncogenes and improving immune function. Therefore, it is encouraged to eat more vegetables, fruits and fish rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene and selenium. 2. During the treatment period, eat a light and easy-to-digest diet, avoiding *** sexual and odorless food, so as not to induce nausea and other discomforts. Pay attention to the choice of meal time, avoid eating half an hour before and after radiotherapy. Appearance of decreased appetite does not want to eat, can eat hawthorn or hawthorn slices, drink malt tea, eat more carbohydrate-based half-stream, such as rotten noodles, yam porridge and so on. For diabetic patients, they should mainly eat soft food and less flow food so as not to rise blood sugar too fast, or eat food cooked with beans, such as black bean porridge and red bean porridge, because beans have very low glycemic index and raise blood sugar very slowly. 3. Starting from the 2nd week of radiotherapy, you are instructed to use egg yolk oil to smear the oral mucosa to reduce the degree of reaction of the oral mucosa. Because egg yolk oil is rich in lecithin, fatty acids, folic acid, carotene, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other medicinal and nutritional components, with heat detoxification and swelling, nourishing yin and nourishing blood, moistening dryness, convergence of sores and muscle growth effects. During this period of time, the patient's food should be fine, soft, rotten, warm and cool is appropriate, cooking methods to stew, boil, simmer mainly; coarse food fine, such as vegetables after scalding chopped cold, or cooking machine crushed, fruit fried juice; pay attention to the food color, aroma and shape of nutrition, in order to * * * appetite; oral pain in the mouth before meals containing gargling lidocaine, vitamin B: and other configurations of the mixture in order to alleviate the pain, eat the pain of the serious addition of enteral nutrition solution. In order to ensure the balance of nutrients while giving supplemental antioxidant nutrients, eat more vegetables and fruits, such as black fungus, white fungus, Semen Coicis, chestnuts, walnuts, asparagus, tofu, garlic, radish, onion, broccoli, kelp and other algae, shiitake mushrooms and other edible fungi; reference to health care recipes for the patient to provide specific diet, such as stewed chicken with astragalus, chestnut barbecue pork, simmering pig's feet with Chinese yam, braised pig's feet with Angelica sinensis and Astragali, and steamed crucian carp with black fungus. 4. Due to the reaction of radiotherapy. 4. Due to the reaction of radiotherapy, there are edema in the mucous membrane of mouth, pharynx and nose, it is recommended to consume more food and drinks which are both heat-clearing and diuretic and have nutrients, such as boiled crucian carp with corn, roasted radish with duck's tongue, red bean congee with Coix lacryma, scrambled eggs with loofah, bitter gourd with cold mix, winter melon and seaweed soup, cold lotus root, squeezed lotus root juice, soya bean milk, chrysanthemum tea, honeysuckle tea, and so on. Radiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy is prone to bone marrow suppression, it is recommended to consume diets that have the effect of replenishing blood and qi, such as stewed beef with yam and wolfberry dates, stewed pig's hooves with soybean and peanuts, eel bone simmered in soup, tofu stewed with duck's blood, bone broth, squid and pig's hooves soup, stewed chicken with angelica and boiled eggs with peanut, wolfberry and dates, and so on. For those whose sleep is affected by dry mouth and sore throat, it is recommended that recipes to nourish the mind, such as lily of the carp soup, duck soup with lotus seed, lotus seed soup with silver ear, etc., are recommended. 5. Dry mouth and sticky phlegm in the pharynx will occur during radiotherapy. In addition to gargling with water, a small amount of fluid will be eaten several times to moisten the mouth and replenish energy. It is recommended that patients use food that has the characteristics of clearing heat and moistening irritability, generating fluids and resolving phlegm, such as gingernut and almond tofu soup, lily of the valley and lotus seed soup, radish and tofu soup, pears, apples, water chestnuts, and carrots. Chinese medicine believes that carrots are sweet and flat, with the efficacy of qi elimination, weakness, loss of appetite, etc. can be used as a common therapeutic dishes; amaranth is sweet and cool, rich in iron, calcium and other minerals and a variety of vitamins and dietary fiber. Patients due to radiotherapy reaction caused by physical pain, physical strength, reduced activities, coupled with chemotherapeutic drugs will also cause gastrointestinal dysfunction, to a certain extent, leading to defecation, and amaranth is rich in dietary fiber, and easy to cook, easy to swallow, to alleviate constipation has a good role in folklore as a blood good vegetables, in addition to appropriate exercise, drink more water, the use of gastric reflexes of the colon, it is recommended to eat more amaranth, leeks, potatoes, Sesame, sesame oil, banana, li, pear, honey water. Radish, often eat can strengthen the spleen and stomach, digestion, anti-cancer tumor; soybean is rich in isoflavones, and isoflavones are antioxidants, can be anti-cell proliferation, blood vessel thickening, it inhibits cytokines and growth factors are related to isoflavones anti-cancer effect. Astragalus is a kind of selenium-containing traditional Chinese medicine, selenium is the activation center of glutathione peroxides, and tests have shown that it plays a strong antioxidant generation and protects the cell membrane in the radiation damage, thus reducing the reaction and damage of radiotherapy and improving the therapeutic effect. 6. Finally, it is important to preserve the originality of food and consume seasonal food. In recent years, the concept about immune nutritional support is emerging. Many immunologists and nutritional experts at home and abroad believe that nutrient-rich and complete food can not only resist the mutated cells and reduce the adverse reactions caused by cancer treatment, but also help patients heal faster.
