I. Why do you propose to smooth the summer? Summer is the hottest season of the year. According to the Chinese lunar calendar, it refers to the period from the beginning of summer to the end of summer. The Gregorian calendar is between May and July. According to the Chinese medicine, summer is the main gas, which is hot in the sky and fire in the earth, and it is most likely to hurt the Jin and consume the Qi. Modern medicine has also found that the hot weather in summer easily leads to gastrointestinal disorders and increased burden on the heart and kidneys. On the other hand, the metabolism is accelerated and cell division is suddenly increased, which leads to the growth of tumor faster than when the temperature is low. Due to the enhanced basal metabolism and accelerated blood flow of tumor patients, especially cancer patients, emotional, sleep, mental and dietary discomfort will occur in different degrees. Decreased appetite and lack of sleep seriously affect the survival quality and treatment effect of tumor patients. Under such circumstances, if they cannot respond effectively, tumor treatment will tend to stop and regress, and patients will suffer from metastasis and recurrence. Every year in summer, the morbidity and mortality rate of cancer patients will rise significantly, and some cancer patients in recovery period are re-admitted to hospital, which brings great pain to many families and patients. According to the statistics of Beijing Cancer Hospital, the recurrence rate of tumor metastasis in summer is as high as 38%-47%, so it is urgent for tumor patients to fight a good summer defense. -The trend of gradual increase of mortality rate in spring-summer is of great guidance to clinical prognosis. It warns clinicians how to guide cancer patients to spend summer safely, which is the key to reduce mortality and improve survival of advanced cancer patients. The hot summer is a great test for the body of cancer patients. Then, what should cancer patients pay attention to in summer? What kind of physical and mental care should be carried out? The following are the three words of summer health care: “Tune your spirit, exercise smartly, be careful about your living, take a nap, don’t crave for cold, eat well, and prevent poisoning”. Reduce the patient’s restlessness and keep a happy mood. The patient’s room should be ventilated to make the air fresh to avoid heat stroke; however, the patient should avoid getting cold at night and should not stay in the air-conditioned room for a long time. The air conditioning temperature should not be adjusted too low, the most suitable temperature is 26℃~28℃. It is better not to wear short clothes in the air-conditioned environment. It is very important to open the windows for ventilation every day to ensure sleep. Tumor patients are prone to poor sleep, and it is even more problematic in summer. Do not use sleeping pills that can cause mental and liver damage. Mental relaxation, moderate exercise and reading, and listening to soothing music can effectively improve sleep. Don’t forget to sleep for 1~2 hours at noon, so that the body systems can rest and help the body to recover. Sleep is very important for tumor patients’ recovery, but the hot and muggy weather often leads to the decrease of tumor patients’ sleep quality. It is suggested that such patients can eat lotus seeds, lilies, red dates, milk, barley, black fungus, white fungus and other foods to regulate and calm their mind. Most of the tumor patients have psychological problems such as tension, fear, sadness and anxiety, and in summer, many of them are prone to mood swings and irritability because of the sweltering heat. This is not good for the treatment. Therefore, psychological and emotional regulation and keeping a happy mood seem more necessary. Tumor patients will have stronger mood swings due to their condition and treatment side effects. It is especially important to create a comfortable and neat environment and keep a good state of mind. Maintaining an optimistic and positive mood is the primary condition to improve the treatment effect, reduce symptoms and prolong life. In addition to self-regulation, family members and friends especially need to help, give understanding and support, and communicate more with tumor patients. In order to facilitate treatment and recovery, it is also suggested that the patient’s family members must cooperate with the doctor, sympathize with the patient and assist in the patient’s emotional adjustment. For example, they should have more meals with patients and communicate with them more at the table to make them feel the warmth of family. It is suggested that tumor patients should do some cultural and recreational activities that are good for their body and mind to keep healthy, such as fishing, calligraphy and painting, planting flowers, raising fish and birds, enjoying music, etc. These are good ways to keep optimistic and happy emotions. And for activities that tend to produce bad moods, such as attending funerals, visiting patients, etc., should be avoided as much as possible, so as not to cause associations. Summer skin metabolism is fast, and skin folds are easy to hide dirt. Patients with skin cancer and long-term bed-ridden patients should bathe or wipe themselves regularly to avoid bed sores and ulcers. The sweaty clothes should be replaced in time, and the clothes should be mainly made of cotton, soft and non-irritating materials to reduce bad friction. As for the sexual life of tumor patients, it can be carried out under the premise of not affecting the health of patients. Family members should fully understand the needs of patients, and if they have concerns, they can go to the doctor for consultation and guidance. Besides this, tumor patients should take part in social activities appropriately to enhance their self-confidence. Because when self-confidence is enhanced, the immune function of human body is better to overcome the disease, while irritability, fear and tension will cause the decline of immune function. Sixth, adjust the diet, balanced nutrition Three treatment seven points, diet and exercise to focus on nourishment. As the saying goes, “Food is the key to life”, especially for cancer patients. Don’t avoid eating too much, because the disease comes from the mouth. Ten kinds of high-risk foods 1.High fat — breast cancer, intestinal cancer 2.Moldy food — liver cancer, esophageal cancer 3.White wine and beer — liver cancer, stomach, breast, cavity cancer 4.High salt — stomach cancer 5.Fried — stomach cancer 6.Beef deterioration over time produces propionaldehyde — intestinal cancer 7.Salty bologna — nasopharyngeal cancer 8.High sugar — breast cancer 9.MSG cooking process produces pyrosaline -10.Coffee — pancreatic cancer 7.What are the summer foods? After surgery, tumor patients often suffer from deficiency of Qi and blood, spleen and stomach, lack of nutrition and dysfunction of the organism. Especially for patients who undergo chemotherapy and radiotherapy, many side effects will occur and their diet is even worse. In summer, the digestive function of human is poor, and tumor patients are more likely to lose appetite. Some patients have poor appetite, so in order to increase nutrition, they have to rely on intravenous nutrition solution. However, from the perspective of nutrition, nutrition absorbed through intestine is better than intravenous injection. Therefore, patients should try to rely on eating to supplement nutrition according to their different conditions, physique and hobbies. Attention should be paid to the supplementation of protein, trace elements and various vitamins, with a reasonable nutritional mix. Summer diet should be soft and warm, with less spicy and overly oily food. It is not advisable to eat more cold food because if the gastrointestinal tract is suddenly cold, it can lead to intestinal spasm and cause abdominal pain, especially for patients with gastrointestinal tumors and hepatobiliary tumors. For some patients, according to hearsay, some foods are taboo, but tumor patients do not need to be too much taboo, general foods can be eaten. In this way, a balanced nutrition can be achieved. The general principles should be freshness, nutrition, taste, seasonality, less food and more meals. The diet should be light, soft and rich in vitamins and fiber; fresh means eating fresh, natural foods; not eating moldy, smelly foods. Nutrition means a reasonable mix of protein, fat, sugar, vitamins and minerals, that is, fish, meat, eggs, shellfish, vegetables, fruits and juices, should be eaten together. Light is seasoning should be light, is to eat less spicy, smoked and fried, taste too heavy, too greasy warm food. Patients with digestive tract tumor, hepatobiliary and pancreatic tumor should pay special attention to this, especially for those who are undergoing radiotherapy after surgery, and should be supplemented as much as possible according to the normal dietary rules, and should not reduce their diet because of the side reflections of treatment. Cancer patients have reduced intake due to loss of appetite, which can easily cause protein and micronutrient (such as vitamin B, vitamin C and zinc, etc.) deficiencies, which should be supplemented in the diet. Compare with lean minced meat, eggs, watermelon, tomatoes, peanuts, etc. We should eat more natural anti-cancer foods that grow in summer, such as monkey head mushroom, loofah, watermelon, lettuce, etc. These foods can effectively inhibit cancer cells; in addition, we should eat more “bitter” vegetables, such as bitter melon, etc.; and drink more green bean soup and soy milk can also play a role in clearing fire. In summer, we should emphasize a light diet, eat more white meat and less red meat (beef and mutton); eat more shellfish, melon and fruit foods. Because vegetables are more fibrous, some patients are prone to diarrhea if they eat too much, so you can add melons and fruits. The patient should pay attention to the sterilization of raw fruits and melons, the right taste means to meet the patient’s preference; less food means to eat a small amount each time, soft and juicy, generally speaking, tumor patients are weak, diet to warm is appropriate. In general, tumor patients have a weak constitution, so it is better to have a warm diet. However, in summer, do not emphasize this point too much. The most important thing is to eat more meals in a day, accompanied by medicinal food, of course, this will vary from person to person. For patients, we should treat them with evidence, look at the tongue, ask about the heat and cold, identify the deficiency and regulate the diet under the guidance of doctors. The summer diet of tumor patients should be both light and nutritious. Summer diet advocates lightness, but this special group of people should not emphasize lightness at the expense of nutrition. In general, balanced nutrition should be the main concern, except for spicy, fried and greasy food, but other things need not be overly concerned. As cancer patients have little appetite for food, therefore, our diet should start from appetite and ideological enlightenment, try to do what patients like, and let patients establish the belief that they can only get well after eating, even if they don’t want to eat and can’t eat food, as long as it is helpful to the disease, they must insist on eating it. Scientific diet can effectively prevent cancer Food containing Vc: lemons, oranges, tomatoes, strawberries, cauliflower, cabbage, spinach, onions, potatoes, green peppers Contains Ve: vegetable oil, dried beans, green leafy vegetables, margarine Carrots Spinach – to prevent lung cancer; tomatoes (lycopene needs to be fried in oil before it can be released) — against lung and pancreatic cancer garlic, onions, shallots — against intestinal cancer lung cancer stomach cancer cabbage , cauliflower, mustard — against breast cancer loofah, tea, aloe vera –prevent all kinds of cancer lung cancer digestive tract cancer yogurt –prevent breast cancer honey propolis –prevent cancer top 10 cancer prevention foods 1. rice kernel –reduce lung cancer, liver cancer Liver cancer 2. Shiitake mushrooms – reduce stomach cancer, lung cancer and improve the efficacy of chemotherapy. Such as mushroom polysaccharide 3, green tea – cancer prevention 4, carrots – reduce lung cancer white radish – reduce gastroesophageal cancer 5, fungus – improve immunity, inhibit cancer cells 6, bitter melon – improve immunity, inhibit cancer cells 7, tomatoes -8, cabbage, cabbage, cauliflower – reduce breast cancer 9, soy – reduce esophageal cancer, reduce nitrosamines in the stomach, phytoestrogens can fight steroidal estrogens in the body – prevent breast cancer.

In summer, when the weather is hot at noon, people often sweat a lot and lose a lot of water and electrolytes such as sodium, potassium and chlorine, so attention should be paid to the balance of water and electrolytes. Drink more green tea, warm salt water and fruit juice, etc. For patients with tumors of bladder, kidney and stomach, body fluid supplementation should be balanced in and out and supplemented as needed. In addition, due to dry weather, it is easy to get fire, so tumor patients should choose more foods that nourish Yin, moisten dryness and nourish lung to regulate during this period, such as silver fungus, red dates and so on. Patients with symptoms such as fluid accumulation in the chest and abdomen, as well as tumors of the bladder, kidney and stomach should pay special attention to the replenishment of body fluids to achieve a balance between in and out, strictly calculate the body fluids lost through sweating and so on, and replenish them according to the need and the amount. When replenishing water, salt should also be appropriately replenished to avoid the imbalance of electrolyte balance. According to the common products in Hangzhou, we recommend the following 6 categories of food: fish, meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits and beverages for cancer patients to eat in summer.

Nine, smart exercise, tumor patients, although weak, but also according to hobbies, physique, environment and climate to do some suitable physical exercise, as a means to assist in treatment, but also to strengthen the body, improve their own resistance to disease. He said, from the practice, the more suitable exercise for tumor patients are Guo Lin anti-cancer fitness gong, taijiquan, walking, jogging, etc., and does not advocate strenuous exercises such as mountain climbing and long-distance running. And in summer, exercise time period should be arranged in early morning and evening to avoid high temperature; each exercise time should not exceed half an hour. It is better for tumor patients to take collective exercise, which can not only help each other and take care of each other, but also improve the exercise effect. X. Treatment and medication for cancer patients in summer Oncology patients during chemotherapy are susceptible to the inhibition of central heat dissipation system and are prone to heat stroke in hot days, so chemotherapy patients should avoid the harsh high temperature environment and must control the temperature of their area. Chemotherapy can cause the reduction of white blood cells, especially granulocytes, and also suppress the immune function to varying degrees, so patients often suffer from various infections unknowingly. In some patients, the oral mucosa can break or even ulcerate after using certain chemotherapy drugs, so pay attention to oral hygiene, food should be fine and soft, less residue, so as not to damage the mucosa caused by oral ulcers. In summer, various germs are actively reproducing, so tumor patients need to be especially alert to this. Many chemotherapy drugs may cause gastrointestinal reactions, such as loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting or diarrhea. Therefore, patients should eat moderately and lightly during chemotherapy, especially in summer, so as not to increase the burden of digestive tract. Tumor patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia and weakened heart function are prone to blood clots and unstable blood pressure in summer because they sweat a lot and their blood is relatively concentrated. Such tumor patients belong to the high-risk group in summer. Special antihypertensive, lipid-lowering and cardiovascular drugs may be detrimental to tumor treatment due to their side effects, so do not blindly take antihypertensive, lipid-lowering and cardiovascular drugs. If aspirin is taken in small doses, caution should be exercised and the drugs should be used under the guidance of doctors. Avoid eating fatty, indigestible and hot stimulants, moldy and smoked food, gulping and overeating. Those with cold spleen and stomach Watermelon and pear should be eaten less Healthy food, many varieties, alternately Note that raw fruits and melons should be disinfected and food should be kept fresh to prevent spoilage. Should be careful to eat cold and bitter cold things, disease from the mouth. Besides, tumor patients should avoid smoking, alcohol; avoid overeating, salt-pickled, smoked, fire-baked and fried food, especially baked and burnt food; avoid spicy and irritating food; avoid moldy and pickled vinegar food; avoid salty and watery food for patients with ascites. Foods avoided by ancient physicians during illness Raw and cold: cold drinks, cold foods, large amounts of raw vegetables and fruits, etc., are contraindicated for patients with spleen and stomach deficiency diarrhea. Sticky and slippery: rice and noodle food made of glutinous rice, barley and various types of sticky rice are contraindicated for patients with spleen deficiency and dullness, or for those who have the beginning of cold. Greasy: meat, fatty meat, fried food, dairy products (milk crisp, cheese), etc., are contraindicated for patients with dampness and heat, phlegm and dampness. Fishy taste: shrimp, crab, sea food (sea mussels, light vegetables), mutton, dog meat, venison, rooster, etc. are contraindicated for patients with wind-heat, phlegm-heat, rash and sores, and internal injury to the spleen and stomach. Spicy: onion, ginger, garlic, chili, pepper, leek, wine, etc., are contraindicated for patients with internal heat. Fatty foods: foods that can cause the recurrence of old diseases and increase the weight of new diseases. It refers to spicy and hot stimulating fatty, sweet and thick taste, allergy, fever, rash, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other special foods, such as chicken head, duck head, pig head, goose meat, donkey head meat, shrimp, crab, mussel, snail, tobacco, alcohol, etc., are contraindicated for patients with asthma and skin diseases. Avoid eating fatty, indigestible and hot stimulants, moldy and smoked foods, gulping and overeating. For patients with cold spleen and stomach, watermelon and pear should be taken less often. According to Chinese medicine, summer heat not only consumes fluid, but also consumes qi, and tumor patients are more deficient after surgery, radiotherapy and other treatments. If they are deficient, they should make up for it. But should they be tonic in summer and how to tonic appropriately? This is the topic that many patients and their families are most concerned about. “Many family members often come to me and ask: Is it appropriate to take ginseng now?” The answer is clear: of course it is! There are anti-aging effects, and the anti-tumor effects of the active ingredients of ginseng have been experimentally confirmed. But it is quite a matter of which kind of ginseng the patient should take. Wu Yusheng pointed out that ginseng must be taken according to the individual and treated differently, and the patient’s physical condition must be clearly identified before choosing the appropriate ginseng. Generally speaking, patients with “hot” constitution should take raw ginseng, American ginseng, etc.; patients with “cold” constitution should take party ginseng, red ginseng, border ginseng, etc., but it is recommended that patients should seek medical advice before taking them. The application of tonic medicine and the applicable population: support the righteous and dispel the evil – for people who are deficient in evil, tumor patients, deficient in evil, support the righteous and strengthen the body – people who have been sick for a long time and have a deficiency of qi, blood, yin and yang, deficiency is tonic.
