A balanced nutrition is recommended after chemotherapy for lung cancer, with an appropriate increase in the intake of various nutrients, ensuring adequate intake of meat, eggs, milk, beans, vegetables, fruits, staples, nuts and fats.
Tumor patients are prone to many gastrointestinal adverse reactions during chemotherapy, including nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and even diarrhea. The patient’s diet is seriously affected, resulting in weight loss or malnutrition. Nutritional monitoring and intervention for tumor patients should be highly valued, with attention to the following aspects:
1. Adequately supplement the vitamins and trace elements required for hematopoiesis, and appropriately increase the intake of iron, such as animal liver and animal blood; 3. It is recommended to consume more vegetables and fruits: vegetables need to be cooked or made into vegetable soup, the nutrients are easily absorbed and easily digested. Fruits avoid being too cold and can be made into purees or juices, etc.; enteral nutrition therapy.
After increasing the nutritional diet during chemotherapy, those who still experience weight loss should prioritize diet with oral nutritional preparations to supplement energy and protein requirements.
