Soup and congee have always been the highest rate of ordering in the ward, “supposedly” nutritious and stomach-healthy, OHNO~~~ you think too much! Drink porridge: the main ingredients of white porridge is a large amount of water and a small amount of rice (carbohydrates), of which only carbohydrates can play a role in providing energy for the body, and the conversion is quite fast, but after all, the amount of small, so the energy is low, and hunger is fast. As an analogy, energy is equivalent to gasoline, and our body is like a car. If we add a little bit of gasoline, the car will not run far! Therefore, as long as the patient is not extremely weak or abnormal digestive function, to have enough energy, try to choose “dry goods”, such as rice, steamed bread, noodles, bread, etc., and the total amount must be enough! “What should I do if I can’t swallow dry food? –Think of ways to make it soft and thin! For example, rice slightly more water, steamed bread, bread broken soak milk, or even use a blender to process the food into a paste, how are better than white porridge! “What if I like porridge? –What can I do if I love congee? – Add ingredients to white congee! For example, add minced meat, vegetables, etc. to improve the nutritional structure of the porridge and make it as dry as possible! Drinking soup: The most common thing in the ward is to drink soup without eating meat, no matter it is chicken soup or fish soup, or even sea food soup, although the soup is delicious, but it is not as nutritious as we think, because most of the nutrients are not soluble in water! What’s really nutritious is the meat in the soup! And preferably lean meat! That’s why families go to great lengths to make soup, and patients do drink a lot of “soup”, but their nutritional status is getting worse, because most people discard the nutritious meat and drink a bellyful of water instead! What is it in meat that is so important to our bodies? —Protein! Proteins play an important role as they are the main components that make up the body’s tissues, including muscles, bones, skin, nerves, blood cells, etc., as well as certain enzymes, hormones and antibodies! For tumor patients, the demand for protein is even higher than that of normal people, because the metabolic characteristics of the tumor itself, postoperative wound healing, repair of skin and mucous membrane damage after radiotherapy, and recovery of blood cells after chemotherapy all require an adequate supply of protein! “What should I do if I like soup? –What should I do with “I just like soup”? For example, use a blender to make a paste of the meat and soup and drink it together; or drink less soup and eat as much meat as possible, and note that it is refined meat.
