Traditional Chinese medicine believes that different foods have different preventive and therapeutic effects on diseases, so we should choose seasonal foods according to different seasons, that is, all foods that are beneficial to health but not helpful to the progress of diseases are "suitable" and all foods that are helpful to the development of diseases are "taboo". Cancer patients should avoid eating yellow croaker, royal jelly, cigarettes and wine in their daily diet, and eat less pickled products, greasy and spicy.
Suggestions on individual differences: people with bowel sounds and bloating should eat less gas-producing foods, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, beans and carbonated drinks; For those with pantothenic acid and excessive phlegm, eat less sweets to avoid dampness and phlegm; People with limb edema should eat a low-salt diet to avoid water and sodium retention caused by too much salt.
Tumors are related to environment and lifestyle. What should we pay attention to in our daily life?
In our daily life, we advocate the concepts of disease-free prevention, disease treatment and disease prevention, which is of positive significance for reducing the occurrence and development of tumors. Etiological prevention is the most important in the tertiary prevention of tumors. It is necessary to avoid or reduce contact with the polluted living environment, change the bad lifestyle, cultivate a good concept of healthy life, change bad eating habits, prevent excessive ups and downs of emotional changes, make daily life regular, adjust the lifestyle that conforms to the climate change in nature in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and meet the requirements of "talking about the ancient naive".
Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Cases of Typhoid Diseases has the saying that "Yang is nourished in spring and summer, Yin is nourished in autumn and winter, and the world is rigid and soft". Attention should be paid to supporting the growth of yang in spring and summer, and outdoor activities should be appropriately increased. Nourishing yin in autumn and winter means that all natural things gradually converge and even hibernate in autumn and winter. At this time, we humans should also conform to nature, constantly collect yin and essence, and make good reserves for the coming year. However, in real life, human beings sometimes have certain misunderstandings. For example, in winter, in order to keep out the cold, people eat mutton, dog meat and hot pot with constant temperature to raise yang, but they don't know that it will consume more yin. If the yin deficiency is consumed excessively, the yang will naturally dissipate, and at this time, there will be a situation of yin deficiency and internal heat. Therefore, we should pay more attention to nourishing yin in winter.
In addition, in daily life, we should take more vitamins and trace elements, eat more fresh vegetables, especially green vegetables, keep cereals as the staple food, and appropriately increase soy products, eggs, milk and so on. Eat less repeatedly fried and smoked food, eat less fat and greasy food, and eat less high-salt and pickled food; Don't eat too fast, too hot, too hard, too exciting, and don't eat moldy food. Giving up smoking and alcohol and proper exercise will help to restore physical strength. Regular physical examination, prevention and treatment of precancerous lesions, maintain a healthy and harmonious mentality, and prevent the influence of bad emotional factors on the body.
How should tumor patients take traditional Chinese medicine decoction for a long time?
For patients, it is necessary to pay attention to the selection of decocting instruments, decocting methods and medication. Casseroles, pottery and enamel utensils are the best choices for decocting traditional Chinese medicine. These containers are stable in nature, difficult to react with Chinese herbal medicines with complex components, and heated evenly.
Traditional Chinese medicines are mostly dry, and direct decoction with water will coagulate protein on the surface of medicinal materials and gelatinize starch, which will affect the exudation and dissolution of effective components. Therefore, it should be soaked in warm water and then boiled for 30-60 minutes. For some special toxic products, they should be decocted according to the doctor's advice, such as Radix Aconiti Lateralis, Snake Valley, Rhizoma Pinelliae, Nanxing, etc., which need to be decocted for 2 hours first. For drugs containing volatile oil, we should pay attention to the following points, such as sandalwood and Amomum villosum, and some drugs with special irritation, such as ephedra and Bupleurum, which need to be boiled to eliminate bubbles.
The soaked Chinese medicine is decocted with strong fire (big fire) until boiling, and then boiled with slow fire (small fire) for 30 minutes. Generally, the Chinese medicinal liquid decocted twice should be combined, filtered, deslagging, stirred evenly and divided into four times. Don't take it on an empty stomach, and you can eat some bread at the same time.
In addition, taking Chinese medicine at different stages should be different. For example, when the digestive tract reaction is obvious during chemotherapy, you can take a small amount or even stop taking it. When you have a cold, fever or diarrhea, you can stop taking it for a week. A few patients will have discomfort symptoms such as upper abdominal pain after taking medicine for many years. You can stop taking the medicine for one month and then gradually recover.
