In the whole process of chemotherapy, without reasonable and sufficient nutritional guarantee, the treatment plan will not be implemented smoothly. Therefore, whether in hospital or at home, diet care can not be ignored.

The principle of choosing food is: a light diet with high calories, high vitamins and low fat.

Pay attention to improving taste, such as sweetness and acidity, which can stimulate appetite and reduce nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite caused by chemotherapy.

Common food: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stewed lean meat with hawthorn, mutton soup with astragalus root and roasted beef with cordyceps. There are also fresh royal jelly, auricularia auricula, Hericium erinaceus, chicken gizzard and other foods, which not only invigorate qi and blood, but also strengthen spleen and stomach, reduce reaction and improve vigilance. But avoid the smell. In addition to paying attention to the dietary principles of chemotherapy patients, food supplements should also improve the curative effect according to the diagnosis of cancer and the patient's reaction, but avoid fishy smell. In addition to paying attention to the dietary principles of chemotherapy patients, dietary choices should be differentiated according to the diagnosis of cancer, the patient's physique and the chemotherapy drugs used. Chemotherapy is an effective means of tumor treatment, but almost all chemotherapy drugs will cause patients with varying degrees of loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, etc., thus weakening the nutritional status of patients. A reasonable diet can prevent and reduce weight loss and malnutrition caused by treatment.

(1) Before chemotherapy

Before chemotherapy, a balanced diet was given, including cereals (rice and pasta), vegetables and fruits (about 6-8g), meat, poultry and eggs (about 5-1g of lean meat or chicken or fish, 1 egg), milk and bean products (one bag of milk and 5-1g of bean products). 4 ~ 5 meals a day, with fruits as the main food.

Eat a diet with low fat, high carbohydrate, high vitamins and minerals the day before chemotherapy.

Choose foods such as rice, pasta, fish, chicken, eggs, lean meat, tofu, vegetables and fruits.

(2) Chemotherapy

During chemotherapy, drugs will inevitably damage normal cells while killing tumor cells, resulting in corresponding toxic and side effects, such as decreased immune function, leukopenia, gastrointestinal mucosal ulcer and alopecia. At this time, patients should supplement high protein foods, such as milk, lean meat, fish, animal liver, red dates and red beans. Eriocheir sinensis, Monopterus albus, snakehead, beef, etc. also help to raise white blood cells. In case of loss of appetite and indigestion, spleen-strengthening and appetizing foods can be added, such as hawthorn, white lentils, radish, mushrooms, dried tangerine peel, etc.

Ziyin Jianpi porridge: It can relieve symptoms such as loss of appetite, dry mouth and fatigue during chemotherapy.

the preparation method is that 2g of longan, 2g of lotus seeds, 5g of yam, 5g of coix seed and japonica rice are boiled with water.

Try not to eat your favorite food within 24 hours after chemotherapy, because it will affect your feeling about this food in the future.

The dietary requirement is low fat, high carbohydrate and a small amount of high quality protein. The daily diet is mainly cereals, vegetables and fruits, with easily digestible chicken, fish and eggs, and protein powder (soybean or egg white) can be supplemented appropriately. Less oil.

If the treatment response is severe, the diet should be mainly liquid. You can use vegetable soup, rice soup, fruit juice and some elemental diet.

Chewing ginger has certain antiemetic effect.

(3) After chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is the most advanced treatment method in tumor treatment in recent years. However, chemotherapy drugs often "confuse right and wrong" and "distinguish between the enemy and me", killing tumor cells as well as normal human cells. A large number of clinical practices have proved that high-dose radiotherapy and chemotherapy for patients in the middle and late stage, or re-chemotherapy for patients with drug resistance, can only lead to a weaker life and accelerate the death of patients. It can often be seen in a large number of clinics that the death of patients is not caused by cancer itself, but by unscientific and inappropriate lethal treatment. For example, after repeated interventions of liver cancer, liver failure such as ascites and jaundice occurred and died; Lung cancer died of respiratory failure after chemotherapy in pleural effusion; After chemotherapy for gastric cancer and intestinal cancer, nausea and vomiting make the patients more exhausted and die. Leukocyte decline, patients died of infection, etc. For the treatment of advanced cancer, it is more important to relieve the pain, improve the quality of life, control the disease, and "strive for progress while being stable" in order to obtain "long-term survival with tumor".

jujube, longan and wolfberry porridge: it has the effects of invigorating spleen and kidney, filling marrow and generating blood, and is suitable for patients with reduced hemogram after chemotherapy. The preparation method is to add 1 pieces of jujube, 15g of longan pulp, 15g of medlar, 1g of coix seed and 1g of crystal sugar, and add water to cook porridge.

As the body is weak after chemotherapy, it is advisable to choose nutritious and digestible foods, such as soft rice, porridge, bread, steamed buns, steamed buns, fish, eggs, chicken, soup, potatoes, bananas and jam. Eat less and eat more. Ginger can be used to stimulate appetite. If the weight loss is obvious, then elemental diet. Use yogurt instead of milk to avoid flatulence. Proper exercise.
