What do lung cancer patients eat during chemotherapy?

During chemotherapy, lung cancer patients should arrange their diet based on the principles of high protein, high calorie, easy to digest and low fat. The protein of various kinds of meat and fish is high in nutritional value and calories, and the staple food should be coarse and fine, and strive to diversify. Eat more corn, black beans, black sesame, peanuts, millet, black rice and other foods with high nutritional value, and eat more vegetables and fruits because they contain essential nutrients, especially various vitamins and fiber, such as cabbage, cauliflower, white radish, rape, shiitake mushroom, silver fungus, apple, pear, date, kiwi, citrus, etc. If there is a loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting in chemotherapy, you can add hawthorn, white lentils, white radish, fresh rutabaga, fresh lotus root, ginger, barley, Chen Pi, etc., boil the porridge and take it frequently, which can strengthen the spleen and appetite, lower the rebellion and stop vomiting. The first thing is protein, followed by vitamin B, vitamin C, calcium and iron. It is recommended to use protein powder, vitamin B, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, tablets and iron folic acid tablets. In general, the systemic symptoms of lung cancer are not obvious. Early stage patients may have cough, shortness of breath, blood in sputum and other symptoms similar to tuberculosis, while late stage patients may have fever, emaciation, weakness, or even appearing hyperemesis. Early and middle stage lung cancer patients, whose digestive system function is sound, should seize the time to supplement the organism with nutrients after clinical diagnosis in order to improve physical quality, enhance resistance and prevent or delay the appearance of cachexia. If the nutrients are adequately filled before clinical treatment, patients with better body condition can tolerate chemotherapy and radiotherapy better and have better therapeutic effect; similarly, patients with better body condition are more receptive to surgical treatment and can recover faster than those with poorer nutritional condition. Therefore, early to mid-stage lung cancer patients should be supplemented with various nutrients, such as high-quality protein, carbohydrates, fat, inorganic salts and multivitamins, as soon as their digestive and absorption capacity allows. For lung cancer patients coughing and coughing blood, there are many remedies and food recipes in Chinese medicine to nourish yin and moisten lung, stop coughing, stop bleeding and astringent, such as almond jellyfish, lily of the valley and water chestnut, while lotus root, lotus seed, persimmon, duck pear, yam, lily of the valley and white fungus have the function of stopping coughing, astringent and stopping bleeding. According to the folk recipes, lung cancer patients can also eat mealybug, turtle paste, turtle meat, glutinous rice and other nourishing and tonic foods. Compared with digestive tract tumors, the diet of lung cancer patients should be relatively well resolved. In addition to the above-mentioned nourishing foods of Chinese medicine, lung cancer patients should use milk, eggs, lean meat, animal liver, soybean products, fresh vegetables and fruits, etc. The amount and frequency of food intake can be increased as much as possible. Note: Patients with lung cancer should avoid fishy and greasy food, spicy and stimulating food such as tobacco and alcohol. Diet therapy for lung cancer 1.Strengthening nutrition: Patients with lung cancer without swallowing difficulty should be free to choose food. Without affecting the treatment, they should eat more protein and carbohydrate-rich food, such as lean meat, chicken, duck, rabbit, fish, shrimp, soybean products and various cereals, and generally do not limit the amount of food to ensure good nutrition and create good conditions for surgery. If the nutritional status is poor, it is difficult to tolerate the trauma of surgery, slow healing and easy infection after surgery, which is extremely unfavorable to the recovery of surgery. This requires the improvement of dietary quality before surgery. 2.Supply elemental diet: half a month before surgery, lung cancer patients should supplement elemental diet in addition to three meals a day. It can be absorbed in the upper part of small intestine without digestion, and can be taken orally or fed by tube. In addition to supplementing protein nutrition, a vegetarian diet can promote the synthesis of muscle protein when sufficient calories are supplied, and provide more calories when calories are not supplied, and branched-chain amino acids can provide more calories. There are many types of essential diets, which are administered orally or by tube. When applied, it should be started from low concentration, generally 5% concentration gradually increasing, if there is no diarrhea, vomiting, can gradually increase to 10% to 20%, if oral should pay attention to slow drinking, drinking speed is too fast, because the elemental diet for hypertonic liquid, easy to produce diarrhea and vomiting. Pay attention to the appropriate temperature, to prevent too cold and cause diarrhea. If you take 100 grams of elemental meal every day, you can increase the calories by 400 kcal and protein by 16 grams. Also increase the immunity of the body to be able to tolerate the surgery. 3, post-operative diet allocation: determine the diet according to the condition after surgery, some patients can eat on the second day of surgery, but start with clear flow, food should be light, fine and soft, easy to digest and absorb mainly, because surgical trauma will cause dysfunction of the digestive system, so do not rush in food selection and supplementation. If there is no adverse reaction in the gastrointestinal tract, then transition to semi-liquid food or general food. In the week after the surgery, in addition to the clear and semi-liquid food, we should supplement the elemental food to replenish the nutrition in the body. When you can eat normally, then cancel the elemental diet. Regardless of before or after surgery, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as green, yellow and red vegetables, mushrooms, black fungus, asparagus, lemon and red dates, etc., because fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamin C, which is a cancer inhibiting substance and can block the production of cancer cells.
