First of all, what is this? Hurt 800 enemies and hurt yourself 1000? trade
Tumor is a chronic consumptive disease, and the treatment of tumor is also a great consumption to the patient's body. Nutritional support is particularly important in this situation. Simple vegetarian diet or various taboos can't starve tumor cells. The essence of tumor cells is abnormal proliferation of normal cells, so it is a problem to starve tumor cells simply by stopping nutrient supply. Hurt 800 enemies and hurt yourself 1000? Deal!
Next, we need to know the real influencing factors of diet and tumor.
The occurrence of tumor is the result of many factors, and dietary factors account for the cause of tumor. But the relationship between diet and tumor is complicated. Current research shows that tumor cells are indeed related to diet, but most of them are past eating habits and eating structures. So don't be naive enough to think that you can starve tumor cells. Let's also list the real influencing factors of diet and tumor.
① Excessive energy intake.
Unreasonable diet structure, such as high-fat diet, can increase the risk of colon cancer and endometrial cancer.
3 eating habits, such as eating too fast, the temperature is too high to damage the esophagus and lead to esophageal cancer.
(4) Cooking methods, such as frying and smoking, make food contain many carcinogens.
⑤ Food contains carcinogens, such as grains, peanuts and corn, which are contaminated by aflatoxin; Pickled food contains nitrite; Fried foods contain heterocyclic amines; And smoked foods contain benzopyrene.
⑥ Some tumors have high hormone tolerance, such as breast cancer and endometrial cancer, and the occurrence of tumors is related to the high sensitivity of estrogen and estrogen receptor in vivo. Nevertheless, eating foods rich in phytoestrogens (such as soybeans) in patients with breast cancer and endometrial cancer will not increase death and recurrence, but will reduce the risk of death and recurrence.
The third aspect: when malnutrition occurs, the first thing that is affected is immunity.
In the hospital, friends with tumors all know that patients with malignant tumors, especially after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, will have gastrointestinal dysfunction, loss of appetite, and loss of appetite caused by oral mucosal ulcer pain. Medical staff should generally evaluate the nutritional status of patients as the basis for nutritional treatment.
The simplest way to evaluate nutritional status in clinic is to judge by weight, which is determined by age, sex and height. The common convenient method is that patients control themselves before and after illness and before and after treatment. In addition, the nutritional problems of patients should be found according to clinical examination, biochemical and immune function examination, and their nutritional needs should be determined according to the specific conditions of various cancer patients, and corresponding nutritional plans should be formulated. Tumor cells will not slow down their growth because of malnutrition. When malnutrition occurs, the body's immunity will be affected first.
The fourth aspect: how should tumor friends eat?
1, the dietary principle should be a light diet with high calories, high vitamins and low fat, with diversified diets and small meals. Avoid overeating, fresh yellow-green vegetables and fruits, and pay special attention to the oil temperature when cooking. Avoid eating cold, hot, spicy and irritating foods, and try to eat less vegetables and fruits that are out of season.
2. Some patients' friends often have symptoms such as loss of appetite and dull taste. Communicate with patients more, understand their eating habits, provide their favorite food, pay attention to the color, aroma and taste of food, and increase foods containing more zinc such as eggs and beans to improve their taste and increase their appetite.
3, do a good job of oral care, especially for patients with oral diseases and ulcers, to reduce bacterial reproduction. Patients with radiotherapy often have symptoms such as dry mouth. To maintain indoor air humidity, instruct patients to drink a small amount of water many times a day, but avoid drinking water before going to bed, so as not to affect sleep.
4. Constipation patients should encourage more activities, develop good defecation habits, add fresh vegetables, fruits, whole wheat bread, cereals and other foods rich in dietary fiber, drink plenty of water, and cooperate with Chinese medicine treatment.
5, some tumor friends, often because of sadness, anxiety, disappointment and other emotions affect eating, so we must carry out psychological treatment and psychological care to avoid getting angry when eating, create a relaxed and happy dining environment, change? Cancer = death? Old ideas, right? Cancer star? The fact that children live a healthy life and work for a long time inspires patients, helps them build up the courage and confidence to overcome the cancer demon, and promotes their recovery as soon as possible.
