Anti-cancer food is strong immunity! Improve inflammation and abnormal metabolism, and prevent cancer cells from recurring.

According to the investigation of nutritionist Donna, more than 50% of cancer patients in this hospital have severe malnutrition. This kind of cancer-specific malnutrition is called cachexia, which will lead to the rapid decline of patients' weight (muscle and fat), decreased immunity, poor treatment effect, increased infection rate and increased mortality. As long as the patient loses more than 5% weight during the treatment, the treatment progress will be poor and the treatment effect will be greatly reduced. Key points of nutritional care for cancer patients: The most important thing of nutritional care for cancer is to supplement "basic nutrition" and prevent "malnutrition". Because cancer cells consume more calories, cancer patients must consume "high calories and high protein", which can encourage patients to eat more in small quantities. It is all wet to say that you want to starve cancer cells. Don't dare to eat anything, starve yourself first. If patients really can't eat or lose appetite, they can also consider using "tumor formula" nutrition, but they should pay attention to the source of "protein" and try to avoid casein (which is difficult to digest and easy to flatulence). Whey protein and soybean protein are more ideal. "Comprehensive vitamins" are also essential nutritional supplements, especially during chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Chemotherapy is easy to cause anemia, among which vitamins B6, B 12, folic acid, iron and vitamin C are all related to hematopoiesis. However, if cancer patients lack zinc, it will also affect their taste and lead to loss of appetite. Timely zinc supplementation is helpful to maintain normal taste and promote wound healing. "Vitamin A" can protect the health of mucosa and epithelial cells and help to improve the skin damage caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The "vitamin B group" can also protect the nerves and reduce the nerve damage caused by chemotherapy.

Cancer patients are in a state of "chronic inflammation" and "abnormal metabolism", which will lead to the continuous decomposition and loss of muscle and adipose tissue (weight loss). Even if patients eat enough calories and protein (common formula nutrition), their weight can't be recovered. Only supplementing "immune nutrients" can improve this situation. "Tumor formula" nutrition is a special formula containing "immune nutrients" designed for the abnormal metabolic state of cancer. Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA contained in "fish oil" are considered as important "immune nutrients" in recent years, which can improve "chronic inflammation" of cancer patients, reduce muscle and fat consumption and avoid weight loss. For cancer patients with light weight (body mass index < 20), it is recommended that EPA+DHA be at least 4 g per day (if your fish oil contains 500 mg of EPA+DHA, it is 8 capsules per day). Other "immunonutrients" include: L- glutamic acid, branched-chain amino acids, nucleotides, arginine, etc. However, arginine can promote vasodilation, excessive intake may promote the metastasis of cancer cells, and arginine itself is a free radical, so Donna does not encourage cancer patients to take arginine in large quantities. Second, reducing the side effects of treatment Reducing the side effects of treatment (chemotherapy/radiotherapy) can enable patients to successfully pass the treatment period, improve the treatment effect and improve the quality of life of patients. 20~30 g L-L-utamine daily can effectively prevent and improve the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, such as mucosal injury (broken mouth, diarrhea), leukopenia, nerve injury and so on. As for L- glutamic acid, it is recommended to take it 1~2 weeks before treatment (enough concentration should be stored in the body to prevent side effects) until the end of the whole course of treatment. "L- glutamic acid" has the function of repairing mucosa. People with oral cavity rupture can also apply L- glutamic acid powder directly to the wound (but pay attention to hygiene), or dissolve L- glutamic acid powder in cold boiled water for 3-5 minutes before swallowing, which can promote the repair of oral mucosa and effectively relieve oral pain. Helping cancer patients "enhance immunity" helps to fight cancer cells. Active polysaccharides, triterpenoids and garlic are often seen in the market to enhance immunity. There are many substances containing polysaccharides, such as Ganoderma lucidum, Cordyceps sinensis, Antrodia camphorata, Agaricus blazei Murill, brown algae and so on. The key point is to choose products with scientific structure, qualitative and quantitative, and ensure its curative effect, because only when the structure is right can it have the ability of * * * immune cells (immune cells can recognize it), which is the real "active polysaccharide". Some manufacturers show you the test report with high content of "polysaccharide", but it is not necessarily the correct structure, and it can be high with starch! Another mineral that is particularly important to fight cancer is "selenium". In 2009, FDA announced that "selenium" can resist cancer, mutation and reduce the risk of cancer. As for the source of selenium, it is suggested to choose natural yeast fermentation form, which has higher safety and bioavailability than synthetic selenium. Conclusion: In the process of cancer treatment, giving patients adequate nutritional supplements can not only greatly reduce the side effects of treatment and improve the quality of life, but also make patients have the physical strength to complete the treatment, and the relative treatment effect is also high. Maintaining good nutrition and immunity after treatment can also prevent the recurrence and metastasis of cancer. My real name is Rola Chen Coe.
