Cancer is not an incurable disease, but it is important to have confidence, and many successful cases start from confidence. Theory In our traditional Chinese medicine, the effect of diet is very important, and as the saying goes, “three parts of treatment and seven parts of nourishment”, which confirms that diet is very important to cancer patients. As the saying goes, the key for cancer patients to recover their health is not only the treatment but also the diet. If the diet of cancer patients can be properly arranged to achieve the necessary nutrition, it can strengthen their resistance and speed up their recovery. Before talking about how to properly arrange the diet of cancer patients, we must correct two misconceptions. Some people believe that cancer patients should be strictly controlled to eat in order to “starve” cancer cells, which is actually a misconception. This means that cancer cells will further develop, expand and erode more benign cells. On the other hand, some people think that cancer patients need to eat a lot of tonic food in order to recover faster. This will further aggravate the anorexia. Dietary principles We should pay attention to the dietary principles of regular rationing and small meals. Cancer patients generally have poor appetite. Therefore, the diet should pay attention to increase the food pattern, ensure the color and flavor, light and delicious, so as to help improve the appetite. Some patients have abnormal taste and poor appetite, so they can have a small amount of curd. The patient can also take some Chinese medicine and digestive medicine to strengthen the spleen and stomach. Minimize the intake of sugar food. Research shows that the energy of cancer cells mainly comes from sugar. The ability of cancer cells to take in sugar is 10-20 times that of normal cells. Therefore, the intake of sugar should be reduced. However, it is not prohibited, because sugar is also an essential nutrient for human body. Adopt scientific cooking methods. The cooking method of patient’s diet is based on steaming, boiling, braising, stir-frying, soup, seasoning should be low salt and light, do not eat moldy food, hot disease avoid ginger, onion, chili and other hot stimulating food, cold disease avoid cold and frozen food. Maintain a good eating environment and atmosphere, eat when the mood should be happy, not worry, not angry. Comfortable mood can increase appetite. It helps digestion and absorption of food, and is conducive to nutrition intake and health recovery, which is also the reason of “broad mind and fat body”. To eat more anti-cancer vegetables After a lot of research and experiments, screening out 20 kinds of vegetables that have a significant inhibitory effect on cancer, the first in line is cooked sweet potato. Next, there are asparagus, cabbage, bell pepper, carrot, etc. The experiments proved that in these two stages of cancer development, the growth of cancer cells can be blocked by the intervention of some chemical substances, thus achieving prevention. Studies have pointed out that the nutrients and certain phytochemicals in vegetables can have a significant inhibitory effect on carcinogens and cancer-promoting factors. Sweet potatoes – colon cancer breast cancer, sweet potatoes contain a chemical called hydroepiandrosterone, which can be used to prevent colon and breast cancer. Tomato – prostate cancer, breast cancer, tomatoes contain lycopene can promote the secretion of a number of cytokines with cancer prevention and anti-cancer effects, activating the lymphocyte lysis of cancer cells. It is also a very strong antioxidant that kills free radicals in the body that can cause aging. Studies have shown that the intake of appropriate amounts of lycopene can reduce the incidence of prostate cancer, breast cancer and other cancers, and has a preventive effect on stomach cancer and lung cancer. Kale vegetables (the most common are knotted kale (cabbage or cabbage), followed by cauliflower (cauliflower or cauliflower), and green cauliflower (broccoli), bulb kale (alias skunk cabbage), kale, collard greens, etc.) — Stomach cancer , kale vegetables contain sulfur glycosides glucosides, which have an inducing effect on an enzyme in the human body that can play a detoxifying role. Regular consumption can prevent stomach cancer, lung cancer, esophageal cancer and colon cancer. Chinese medicine opinion Chinese medicine believes that cancer manifests as lumps, foods that soften hardness and resolve stasis should be used, such as shiitake mushroom, black fungus, white fungus and kelp can play a dietary therapy role. After radiotherapy, patients with dry mouth and lips and pain can eat more dishes such as reed root, water chestnut, kelp, mung bean and cuttlefish. Avoidance of food for cancer patients This is also a concern for cancer patients and their families, and it is difficult to give a direct answer to this question. It is important to know that avoidance of food is related to the patient’s condition and nature: if the patient has dry mouth, nausea, red tongue, light moss, etc., he/she should avoid hot and spicy food, such as chili pepper, pepper, raw garlic and fried dried fruits, etc.; if the patient has deficiency of spleen and stomach, easy to have diarrhea, afraid of cold and likes warmth, he/she should avoid sweet and greasy food, persimmon and asparagus which are cold and slippery. On the other hand, the diet of cancer patients also lies in drinking. We should not emphasize food over drinking and neglect water conditioning, as cancer disrupts the balance of water and electrolytes in human body, which is essential for human body to survive. Therefore, in the process of prevention, treatment and recovery, it is very important to pay attention to the correct regulation of patients’ drinking water. Cancer patients often suffer from severe and water-electrolyte disorders and should drink not less than 1500ml of water daily if possible (for reference, ask the attending physician). Precautions The above are just the notes for cancer patients in terms of diet, but ultimately, it is an aid to cancer treatment. The final treatment depends on drugs, and it is best to use a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. Surgery and radiotherapy are common means of tumor treatment, but the toxic side effects of surgery and radiotherapy are so great that many patients can’t tolerate them and terminate the treatment or become extremely weak after treatment, and have toxic side effects such as low immune function of the body. Therefore, you can use Yixingyuan Oral Liquid, which helps to dispel the evil, with a formula of eight precious Chinese medicines, including ginseng, astragalus, wolfberry, ganoderma lucidum, heshouwu, poria, shiitake mushroom and silver fungus. Ginsenoside, Astragalus polysaccharide and saponin, Lycium polysaccharide and Ganoderic acid can improve immune function; ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, Astragalus and Lycium are rich in crude polysaccharide and saponin, which can resist radiation damage. It can help tumor patients to reduce the side effects of radiotherapy, improve immunity, better accept treatment and move toward recovery.
