Some people say that eating Ejiao; Some people say that drinking brown sugar water; Others say that people who eat blood tonic ... so are these methods really effective? How to choose the correct method of enriching blood? Please find friends and listen to Huzhu Jun.
First of all, friends should know that in the treatment of cancer, hemogram is a very important indicator, which can be used not only to observe the therapeutic effect, but also to judge the basis of drug use or withdrawal, treatment or withdrawal, and whether it recurs.
The so-called hemogram generally refers to blood routine. Generally speaking, routine blood tests include cell counts of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
Cancer treatment often leads to bone marrow suppression, that is, it will reduce the number of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets to varying degrees.
Among them, the concentration of hemoglobin (Hb) is often used to represent the volume of red blood cells in clinic. Anemia occurs in adult male Hb 120g/L, adult female HB1kloc-0/0g/L and pregnant woman HB100g/L. ..
Secondly, friends should know that anemia is more common among cancer patients. National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline 20 17 points out that 30%~90% of cancer patients will be complicated with anemia.
A report also showed that the incidence of anemia in 2 16 patients with stage Ⅲ-ⅵ ovarian cancer was as high as 88%, 8 1% and 95% during the peri-chemotherapy period, perioperative period and the whole initial treatment process.
Anemia not only has a high incidence in cancer patients, but also has a negative impact on their quality of life. For anemia, the most intuitive impression of friends is that the number of blood cells is reduced, but in invisible places, the reduction of the number of blood cells will lead to a corresponding reduction in nutrients transported by blood, leading to malnutrition and a decline in their own anti-cancer ability.
The most common manifestations of anemia are dizziness, fatigue, fatigue and so on. It affects the daily life of cancer patients and even endangers their lives.
It can be seen that the problem of anemia can not be ignored by friends.
So, how should friends scientifically replenish blood and improve anemia symptoms?
Research shows that the most common anemia is iron deficiency anemia. Therefore, in diet, people should pay attention to the intake of iron supplements or foods that promote iron absorption to replenish blood.
Here, Huzhujun first reminds everyone that the following misunderstandings about diet and blood supplement should be avoided:
Myth 1: Ejiao, brown sugar water, and red dates enrich blood.
Well-known "blood-enriching products"-Ejiao, brown sugar water and red dates, actually don't enrich blood [1]!
Ejiao: Collagen is the main component of Ejiao, which belongs to protein, but it is not the most important raw material for enriching blood. Especially for patients with iron deficiency anemia, it is not feasible to eat donkey-hide gelatin to replenish blood.
Brown sugar water: the iron content of brown sugar is higher than that of white sugar, but it is a kind of sugar substance without fine processing, and the iron content is only 3 mg/ 100 g. If anemia has occurred, drinking brown sugar water alone will not help.
Jujube: the main component of jujube is carbohydrate (sugar), in which the iron content is only 2-3 mg/ 100 g ... so eating jujube can't play a good role in enriching blood.
Myth 2: Vegetables with high iron content enrich blood.
Some vegetables have high iron content, such as celery 6.9mg/ 100g, shepherd's purse 5.4mg/ 100g and spinach 2.9mg/ 100g. But the higher the iron content, the more blood can be enriched.
We should know that the human body needs to use bivalent iron when making blood, and the iron in plants is generally trivalent iron, which cannot be directly used by the human body. Therefore, the key to supplementing blood in diet depends on how iron is absorbed.
So, do you have all the above "gestures" friends? Next, Huzhujun will tell you the real scientific method of enriching blood.
1, dietary correction
In terms of dietary correction, the most important principle of enriching blood is a balanced diet. At present, the main reasons for people's insufficient iron intake are partial eclipse and picky eaters, so a balanced diet has become the basic principle of enriching blood. In daily diet, friends should pay special attention to the balanced intake of fruits, vegetables and meat.
Secondly, friends need to increase the amount of food rich in heme iron, folic acid, protein and other hematopoietic raw materials or food rich in vitamin C to promote the absorption of iron.
Foods rich in iron are: animal liver, animal whole blood, lean meat, fish and so on. Mustard, amaranth and spinach also contain a certain amount of iron, but the content is not high enough. Although the iron content in egg yolk is high, its iron absorption rate is only 3%, so it is impossible to really supplement iron.
Foods rich in folic acid are: animal liver, green leafy vegetables, beans and so on.
Protein-rich foods include: eggs, meat, fish, beans and so on.
Foods rich in vitamin C include citrus, cauliflower, kiwifruit and other fruits and vegetables.
In addition, substances in coffee and tea will inhibit the absorption of iron, so friends should pay attention to drinking less coffee and tea, just one or two cups a day, and don't be greedy.
Step 2 exercise
Life lies in exercise. Exercise can not only strengthen the body and improve the mood, but also increase appetite and improve anemia to some extent. This is because during exercise, the heart rate increases, the body temperature rises, the whole body blood circulation accelerates, the blood volume increases, and metabolism is promoted.
It is suggested that healthy friends can exercise 3-5 times a week for 20-30 minutes each time, and do some aerobic exercises such as walking, going up and down stairs, jogging and Tai Ji Chuan. Friends who are in poor health should do what they can, even if they just get out of bed, sit up, stand up, or walk around the house.
Step 3 rest and sleep
For friends with anemia, proper rest and adequate sleep are simple and effective ways to improve anemia and fatigue. Sleep time should be 7-8 hours. Only by combining work and rest can friends accumulate physical strength.
4. Drug therapy
The drug therapy for enriching blood mainly includes ESA (erythropoiesis stimulator) and iron agent. Among them, EPO (erythropoietin) is widely used in ESA treatment in clinic, which can improve anemia by accelerating the recovery of erythropoiesis in bone marrow. There are two main ways to supplement iron: oral iron supplement and parenteral iron supplement.
The specific medication varies from person to person, and friends need to follow the doctor's advice.
5, blood transfusion therapy
Blood transfusion therapy can make the hemoglobin concentration increase rapidly, and the treatment needs clinical indications, which is generally considered when the hemoglobin concentration is lower than 70g/L. ..
Of the above five methods of enriching blood, the first three can be nursed back to health by friends themselves, while the latter two need medical workers to give treatment. Friends should analyze it according to their personal situation. Once you have physical problems, you must seek medical advice in time.
