Yan, a nutritionist at the Cancer Center of Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital, pointed out that during cancer treatment, patients often suffer from loss of appetite and lack of nutrition, and should remember not to lose weight, so as not to be unable to bear the physical strength needed for treatment. But you can't eat more after treatment, so as not to accumulate calories and make your body fat. It's best to do more exercise and keep your ideal weight.
Diet 2 Principles of postoperative chemotherapy and radiotherapy for cancer
In the process of cancer treatment, we should master the principles of "high protein diet" and "low bacteria diet". Dietitians will give advice on calories and protein according to personal height, weight and work activity; Among them, high protein can repair damaged cells, and enough calories can maintain body weight, laying a good foundation for cancer treatment.
In terms of high-protein diet, it is suggested that protein's intake should be increased by 20% ~ 50% than usual, that is, one or two snacks should be added, and the calories should be increased by about 300 ~ 500 calories, that is, about two snacks; In a low-bacteria diet, you don't eat any uncooked and unsterilized food, including lettuce, sashimi, undercooked steak, seafood and so on.
Six main points of ending diet after cancer treatment
After cancer treatment, nutritionist Yi Chenyi suggested that in addition to a balanced diet, we should also keep in mind six principles and eat less food and hand-cranked drinks. Avoid processed meat, such as sausages and bacon, because the nitrite contained in it is a first-class carcinogen, which will increase the incidence of colorectal cancer, prostate cancer and gastric cancer.
-1. Eat less full and fat: such as animal oil and coconut oil, and eat less foods containing trans fats, such as French fries, margarine and desserts.
-2. Cooking method: Eat less fried and fried food, and use steamed, sweet and sour, stewed, roasted and marinated food. Avoid frying, frying, crisp, three cups, baking and other cooking methods.
-3. Use of sauces: It is recommended to choose general soy sauce, vinegar and sesame sauce, use less sand tea sauce, salad sauce and tomato sauce, and try to use soy sauce instead of paste. The more ingredients you don't know, the more dangerous the product is.
-4. Salt control: reduce high-salt and salty foods. According to research, high-salt and pickled foods will increase the risk of gastric cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer.
-5. Good habits: It is best to quit smoking and drinking, eat more five-color fruits and vegetables, increase fiber intake, drink more boiled water, and boiled tap water is the best. Exercise for at least 30 minutes every day, and don't stay up late.
-6. Avoid processed products: avoid alcoholic beverages, excessive spices, pigments and preservatives, avoid smoking, salting, frying and canning, avoid eating moldy foods, and avoid eating foods that are too hot, spicy and salty.
