In China, there is a saying that disease enters from the mouth. There are indeed many diseases that appear, which are actually based on diet!
Take the chronic and malignant disease "cancer" that is more common in my country for example. Below the box of the disease, there are exactly three oral characters. A large number of studies and surveys have shown that maintaining unhealthy eating habits for a long time (overeating, unregulated meals for three meals, eating hot foods) , and maintaining unhealthy food choices for a long time (high fat and low fiber, pickled foods and processed meat, smoked barbecue, moldy) will increase the chance of gastrointestinal cancer in the future.
Of course, this does not mean that as long as it is diet, it will cause harm to the body. In fact, the various nutrients we need come from the various foods we consume every day. Food may increase the chance of cancer, but some foods can also indirectly prevent cancer and promote the recovery of cancer patients.
For example, after cancer is diagnosed, the doctor will recommend that patients supplement the following types of nutrients through food:
1, vitamin B2
There are a large number of studies and investigations showing that if vitamin B2 is lacking in the body, it will lead to changes in nitrosamine metabolism. You should know that nitrosamine is a type of carcinogen. nitrite contained in pickled foods and processed meat . After enters the body, it will be converted into nitrosamine under the action of gastric acid.
Once nitrosamine metabolism changes, it can promote esophageal epithelial hyperplasia, leading to the onset of esophageal cancer and the aggravation of the patient's condition. Therefore, patients with esophageal cancer can supplement vitamin B2 in their daily life. such as eggs, milk, soy products, black fungus, etc. are all high-quality sources of vitamin B2;
2, Protein
Malignant tumors are originally wast disease. It consumes various nutrients stored in the patient's body, and at the same time, part of the digestive system becomes cancerous, which can also cause loss of appetite, digestion and malabsorption , such as esophageal cancer and gastric cancer , pancreatic cancer , liver and gallbladder cancer , etc. The patient may develop hypoproteinemia , and there are symptoms such as long-term progressive fatigue, fatigue, slow reaction, and memory loss.
Therefore, after is diagnosed with cancer, it is necessary to supplement protein , such as poultry meat, seafood, eggs, milk, etc. , which are all good sources of protein;
3. Supplement carbohydrate
Carbohydrate is actually the main component in cell structure of life , and it is also the main energy supply substance, which plays an important role in regulating cell activities.
is usually . There are three main forms of carbohydrates in the body, namely glucose , glycogen , and sugar-containing complex. . In clinical opinion, after cancer is diagnosed, patients need to supplement carbohydrates appropriately to maintain their vitality, including rice, pasta, coarse grains , etc.;
4, dietary fiber
If the type of food eaten by cancer patients is too fine, it will not only cause to become digestive and absorption disorders, but may also cause to cause constipation. , especially patients with intestinal cancer, should prevent the occurrence of constipation. Patients need to increase the intake of dietary fiber in three meals. For example, fresh vegetables, fruits, etc. is a good source of dietary fiber;
5, vitamin C 5
Vitamin C has extremely strong reducing , and it also has the effect of promoting protein synthesis and maintaining immune function. It can be said that vitamin C is an efficient antioxidant.
For cancer patients, immune system has been damaged in treatment and cancer consumption .Therefore, at this time, vitamin C should be supplemented with appropriate food, such as oranges, broccoli , fresh jujubes, etc. is a high-quality source of vitamin C.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that the purpose of dietary therapy for cancer patients is to assist in treatment and alleviate side effects.
However, food itself does not have the effect of treating cancer, so everyone should clearly recognize this. Actively cooperating with doctors for treatment is what patients should do, and only in this way can the disease be controlled.
