Recently, the topic of food therapy for health care has attracted wide public attention, and how to carry out food therapy for health care scientifically has become the most concerned issue. For tumor patients, food therapy has a more important role. The right way of food therapy can make tumor patients recover faster and better, while the wrong way may aggravate their disease. So, how should tumor patients take dietary therapy? How should tumor patients have a reasonable diet? The maintenance of life must depend on various nutritional elements in food. The main problem of tumor patients is nutritional disorder. Improving nutrition of patients is the most important measure in anti-cancer treatment. The reasonable dietary arrangement of tumor patients can improve the body resistance, which is very beneficial to the treatment and recovery of patients. The following points should be noted in the diet allocation of tumor patients: 1. Eat more foods with anti-cancer effects. Such as snapper, mushroom, black fungus, cauliflower, cabbage, garlic, seaweed, mustard and royal jelly and other foods. It is also good for cancer prevention to eat more mushrooms, use more fish and poultry instead of red meat such as beef and mutton, control the salt intake and drink light green tea or flower tea. 2.Eat appropriate amount of sugar to replenish heat. Radiotherapy can disrupt the balance of sugar metabolism in the body of tumor patients, with a sharp drop of glycogen and an increase of lactic acid in the blood; moreover, the lack of insulin function is aggravated. Therefore, moderate amount of sugar and supplemental calories can change patients’ sugar metabolism. 3, intake of vitamin-rich food. Vitamins A and C have the role of stopping cell malignancy and proliferation, and increasing the stability of epithelial cells. Vitamin C can also prevent the general symptoms of radiation damage and increase the level of white blood cells. Therefore, you should eat more foods rich in the above vitamins, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, sesame oil, cereals, beans and animal offal. 4, intake of high protein food. Eating high protein foods that can be easily digested and absorbed, such as milk, eggs, fish and soy products, can not only improve the body’s ability to resist cancer, but also improve the disorder of protein metabolism after radiotherapy. 5. Pay attention to diet diversification. Tumor patients should try to eat “coarse, light, mixed, less, rotten and vegetarian” food, i.e. more grains and cereals, fresh vegetables and fruits, less high-fat food, cooked and rotten food, less and more meals, recipes should be mixed and wide. How to avoid eating reasonably for tumor patients? There is no definite conclusion whether the “hairy substances” mentioned by Chinese medicine, such as chicken, fish and shrimp, can cause tumor recurrence, but these substances are important sources of protein and other vital substances for human body, and after radiotherapy, patients’ body consumption increases and their daily protein and calorie requirements are higher than those of normal people, so excessive emphasis on avoiding food is not conducive to recovery. Therefore, over-emphasis on avoidance of food is not conducive to recovery. For example, we should not eat more warm and dry food in summer, and avoid cold food in winter; for those who are toxic “internal fire”, they should eat more fruit juice, watermelon, rice porridge and some cool and stomach-healthy food, and avoid eating too much cold and greasy things; some patients with gastrointestinal tumor have symptoms of gastric yin after surgery or after radiotherapy. Some patients with gastrointestinal tumors have symptoms of gastric yin deficiency after surgery or radiotherapy, manifesting as dry mouth and little food, red tongue without moss, so chili, pepper, raw onion and fried dried fruits should be avoided. Third, what are the precautions in the process of food therapy? 1, scientific supplementation. Food with therapeutic effects, like drugs, have their own bias, with sour, bitter, sweet, pungent, salty five flavors, cold, hot, warm, cool four gas. In the consumption should also be based on the condition and constitution, follow certain principles of food therapy selection. Randomly into, not only can not cure the disease, and harmful, so in food therapy should be discriminatory, discriminatory food, depending on the person, time, place and appropriate. Do not believe in advertising, and do not believe in the role of tonic products. 2, identify the treatment of food. That is, according to the different side effects produced by receiving surgery, radiotherapy, intervention and other treatment methods, choose the appropriate herbal food therapy. The purpose is to increase the effectiveness and reduce the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and other treatments. 3.Discriminate food administration. Before using herbal dietary therapy, we should establish the patient’s basic Chinese medical evidence, which is usually referred to as cold, heat, deficiency and reality. Only if you choose the herbal dietary therapy formula that is suitable for your own type will you achieve satisfactory results, otherwise it will be detrimental to the control of your disease. For example, if the herbal dietary therapy formula suitable for lung cancer of qi deficiency type is used for patients with heat toxicity type, it will often aggravate the disease by helping heat. 4.Discerning medicine to administer food. According to the other Chinese and Western medicines being used by the patient, choose the appropriate Chinese herbal food therapy prescriptions. For example, patients who are taking Chinese medicine at the same time should tell the doctor about the Chinese medicine they are using to avoid unnecessary duplication or mutual restriction of the therapeutic effect between the dietary prescription and the doctor’s prescription. 5. Identify the stage of food administration. That is, according to the different stages of the patient’s disease, different dietary treatments should be administered. Early stage patients can choose the dietary therapy formula with bias towards attacking evil, while late stage patients should choose the dietary therapy formula with bias towards tonicity.
