As we all know, China’s earliest medical treatment should be considered dietary therapy, so since ancient times there has been “medical food is the same source”, “medicine and food with the same function”, China’s first medical theory monographs, the Warring States period of the “Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine”, there are many food treatment of There are many records of treating diseases with food. China’s history of the famous doctor Bian Magpie, once said to the patient treatment, to “food treatment, food therapy does not heal, and then ordered medicine.” Nowadays, people pay more and more attention to their own health, health and health care, we see in the food market, supermarkets, are placed in a variety of Chinese herbs, in the pharmacy there are also a variety of health care products. How to distinguish between food and medicine, how to eat, how to use? What kind of role do they each have? It has been proved that there is a direct correlation between poor diet and tumor occurrence and prognosis of recovery, etc. Tumor patients are more concerned about how to have a healthy diet, and today, we would like to help you to understand some knowledge in this aspect. Medicinal and dietary properties No matter drugs and food, they have different properties such as “warm, hot, cold and cool”, which are called “four properties” in Chinese medicine, and the ancients used “cold, flat and warm” as their basic properties to categorize food and drugs into “cold and cool” and “warm and hot”. The ancients categorized foods and medicines into three main groups based on the basic properties of “coldness, coolness, evenness, warmth and heat”. According to the statistics of more than 300 kinds of common foods, the majority of foods are of flat nature, followed by those of warm and hot nature, and those of cold and cold nature again. Then, the so-called cold nature, is suitable for hot body or disease food and drugs, such as for fever, thirst, irritability, yellow urine and other symptoms of watermelon (natural white tiger soup), for cough, chest pain, coughing yellow phlegm and other symptoms of pear (wind-heat cough, with the shellac), as well as for dry mouth, mouth sores persimmon cream sugar, for hyperactivity of the liver caused by dizziness of celery, etc., are all part of cold nature of the food. Foods of cold and cool nature. Warm and hot are foods and medicines that are the opposite of cold, and are suitable for cold bodies or diseases. For example, ginger, green onion and cilantro for cold and flu caused by cold and fever, runny nose, headache and other symptoms, for abdominal pain, vomiting, like warm and like to press the ginger, black tea, for cold limbs, fear of cold, rheumatoid arthritis chili pepper, wine and so on, all belong to the nature of the warm and hot food. What is flatness? Ping sex food is between the cold and warm and hot nature of a food, applicable to the general body, not cold, not hot, or a little cold, a little hot patients, can be eaten. This kind of food and drugs are mostly some nutritional supplements. Some friends may know, that Chinese medicine has “four properties”, there are “five flavors”? “What are the five flavors? The five flavors in Chinese medicine are “pungent, sweet, sour, bitter and salty”. Sourness is produced by organic acids, and acidic foods can enhance liver function, suppress stomach acid, enhance appetite and promote food digestion. According to Chinese medicine, the spleen is responsible for the muscles and limbs, and opens the orifices in the mouth, and its splendor is in the lips. If over-consumption of acidic food will hurt the spleen, which in turn will make the skin wrinkled and hard, and thicken the skin, so patients with tendon injuries should not consume food that is too acidic. Sweet (sweet) taste is produced by sugar, eating sweet food can benefit the qi and blood, eliminate fatigue, detoxification, etc., but eating too much sweet food is also bad for the function of the spleen and stomach, and it is easy to cause cardiovascular disease. Chinese medicine believes that the flavor is too sweet, easy to hurt the kidney, leading to some bone and joint disease. Bitter flavor, there is an organic alkali produced. Bitter flavor, there is to remove dryness and dampness, cool and relieve summer heat, diuretic, blood circulation, anti-inflammatory fever, clearing the mind and eyesight and other functions. Pungent (spicy) flavor, is produced by capsaicin, eating spicy can promote gastric juice, saliva secretion, increase the activity of amylase, help gastrointestinal peristalsis, but also eliminate blood stasis in our body, is the expansion of the skin capillaries, promote blood circulation. But excessive consumption of spicy, will stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa caused by abdominal pain, stomach pain, etc. Therefore, patients suffering from gastric ulcers, enteritis, hemorrhoids, etc., should eat less spicy food. Finally, is the salty taste. Salty taste from refined salt, is an important substance indispensable to human metabolism, eat salty food, can soften the body’s acidic lumps. However, patients with cardiovascular disease and kidney disease should do a low-salt diet. Second, a healthy diet is the first step in cancer prevention Said so much about the four sexes and five flavors of food and drugs, the purpose is to make us all understand their own food, so as to target their own physique, with a healthy diet to prevent tumors. Around us, in fact, one-third of the malignant tumors can be prevented. To make a healthy recipe for yourself is the first step to prevent cancer. Here are some anti-cancer and anti-cancer foods for you 1, corn: corn has a high content of cellulose, almost 10 times as much as rice, a large amount of cellulose can stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis, shorten the residence time of food residues in the intestine, thus accelerating the fecal excretion, and take harmful substances out of the body, on the prevention and treatment of constipation, intestinal inflammation, rectal cancer have a very important significance. One more, corn glutathione is a powerful antioxidant, can accelerate the aging of free radicals lose their effect, is the most effective anti-cancer substances in our body. 2, Job’s tears: recall what we just said about the four sexes and five flavors, Job’s tears belong to the slightly cold drugs, with the spleen and stomach, diuresis in addition to the role of dampness. It contains a variety of vitamins and minerals, has to promote metabolism, reduce the role of gastrointestinal burden. Coix lacryma fat not only has a tonic effect, but also has an inhibitory effect on sarcoma, cervical cancer, digestive tract tumors, etc. It can raise white blood cells and platelets. Its active ingredients have been extracted and added to anti-cancer herbal preparations, which are widely used in clinical practice and have good therapeutic effects. We usually use Job’s tears to cook porridge to drink, such as Job’s tears mung bean porridge, Job’s tears lotus rice porridge, etc., are very convenient and practical. (Job’s tears and lotus rice porridge: Job’s tears, lotus seeds each 30g, wolfberry, lily each 10g, yam 30g, porridge, daily breakfast to take) 3, sweet potatoes: more than a decade ago, U.S. biologists have found that sweet potatoes contain chemical substances that can be used to prevent colon cancer and breast cancer. 1996, the National Cancer Institute of Japan, the 26 million people’s dietary life and cancer of the relationship between statistical surveys, through more than 40 kinds of vegetables anti-cancer ingredients. Through the analysis and research of more than 40 kinds of vegetables anti-cancer components, listed 20 kinds of vegetables with significant inhibition of cancer, cooked sweet potatoes listed in the first place, 98.7%, raw sweet potatoes listed in the second place, 94.4%, which can be seen in sweet potatoes’ anti-cancer power. Sweet potato porridge: sweet potato 250g, round-grained rice 10g sugar 10g. sweet potato and persimmons should not be consumed at the same time in a short period of time, if the amount of food in the case, should be at least five hours apart. If eaten at the same time, sweet potato in the fermentation of sugar in the stomach, will increase the secretion of gastric acid, and persimmons in the tannin, pectin reaction occurs precipitation cohesion, resulting in hard lumps, amount of serious gastrointestinal bleeding or cause gastric ulcers. 4, soybean: soybean contains at least five anti-cancer substances. One of them is similar to a clinically used in the treatment of estrogen-dependent breast cancer drugs, so it has a certain preventive effect on breast cancer. 5, kombu: kombu in traditional Chinese medicine is the kelp we usually eat. Salty flavor, cold nature, have eliminating phlegm and soft, drain heat and water effect. Like kelp, seaweed and wakame, this kind of seaweed food has a certain anti-cancer effect. Research has found that the blood of cancer patients is more acidic, and kelp contains high calcium, can regulate and balance the pH of the blood, play a role in preventing cancer; at the same time, it contains fiber is not easy to be digested, eaten to increase the amount of stools, to promote the excretion of certain carcinogens in the intestinal tract, which will help the human body to prevent cancer health care. To introduce you to a kelp winter melon barley soup: 30g of kelp, winter melon 100g, barley 10g, cooking soup, with a small amount of sugar to adjust the flavor can be. It has the effect of lowering blood pressure, lowering blood fat, promoting dampness and strengthening the spleen, and preventing cancer. (Can be used to treat endemic goiter, thyroid tumors, but be cautious of patients with hyperthyroidism) 6, broccoli: plants of the cruciferous family, including broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, purple kale, are anti-cancer food. Some studies have shown that regular consumption of the above vegetables can reduce the threat of gastrointestinal tumors and breast cancer. The active substance in these vegetables is neither a vitamin nor a mineral, but a complex. However, this active ingredient is lost when cooked, so when we cook, this type of vegetables should not be cooked for too long. Kale juice: purple kale 300g, sugar 15g, wash the kale and then rinse with cold boiled water, slightly dry; juice about 150ml. Suitable for patients who sometimes have stomach pain to drink. 7, bitter tea: in the four sex, it belongs to the big cold, can be wind clearing heat, thirst, detoxification, in addition to annoyance. Bitter tea has lower blood pressure, blood fat, for nasopharyngeal cancer, esophageal cancer has inhibitory effect. Boiled water external wash, but also can treat a variety of skin diseases. Because of the bitter tea has the characteristics of cold, so some of the body is afraid of cold, cold patients, should not drink bitter tea, in addition to the spleen and stomach cold people, abdominal pain and diarrhea, drink bitter tea will also aggravate these symptoms. 8, carrots: carrots have been recognized as beneficial to the health of food, it contains a large number of carotenoids, can be converted into the body’s vitamin A, but also contains a natural anti-cancer compounds. Researchers found that a cooked whole carrot contained 25 percent more of the anti-cancer compound than a cut carrot. Cut carrots increase the surface area in contact with water, which results in a loss of nutrients. Meanwhile, during the process of boiling and softening, the vitamins in its cell walls are more likely to be dissolved in large quantities in the water. Therefore, when we consume carrots, it is best to boil them whole or cut them into cubes rather than slicing or shredding them. Vitamin A, one of the active ingredients of carrots, is easily dissolved in vegetable oils or animal fats, so we advocate beef stewed with carrots so as to improve the absorption rate of vitamin A. For some patients who have already suffered from tumors, one kind of people think that the more nutritious things they eat, the faster the growth of tumor cells; if they don’t eat nutritious things, they will be able to “starve to death” the tumor cells; they are afraid of avoiding eating what we call “hairy things”, and they don’t even dare to eat meat; there are also some patients who are afraid of eating carrots. There are also some patients who are on the other extreme, in order to improve the ability to resist disease, a lot of tonic. These are some dietary misunderstandings. In fact, tumor patients need a good body to ensure surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and without a good physical strength, it is difficult to bear surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Therefore, proper nutrition must be strengthened in tumor treatment. Dietary management of cancer patients should be reasonable, emphasize on balance, meat and vegetable matching, mixing coarse and fine food, can not be generalized mechanically what to eat, harsh control of what can not be eaten, and can not force too much protein, fat and so on. Above these are only cancer patients in the diet of attention, but ultimately auxiliary cancer treatment, the ultimate treatment also rely on standardized comprehensive treatment.
