Xiao Sun's father was hospitalized for gastric cancer and . Fortunately, the treatment result was pretty good, but Xiao Sun was inevitably a little distressed when he saw that his father was in a poor condition. Every day, he saw that his father had no appetite and didn't want to eat anything, so he was a little anxious.
"Doctor, what exactly can I do to make my father eat more? If I continue, my father will lose weight and look weak."
"Doctor, what are the requirements for my father's diet? What should I do to give him what to eat? Should he eat more or less?"
In fact, this situation is often encountered in hospitals. Many cancer families are in trouble and do not know how to do the diet of cancer patients. They are afraid that they don't eat much, lack nutrients, and are afraid that eating too much will cause burden on the stomach and intestines and have adverse effects on the condition.
will always fall into trouble, and this situation will occur, which is a normal manifestation. It’s all because of not understanding the situation enough or lack of communication with doctors, just understand it clearly in time.
If you want to extend the life time of cancer patients, what should you pay attention to in your diet?
Maintain nutritional principles: Eat less unhealthy foods
The diet of cancer patients should naturally be treated rigorously, but there is no need to worry too much, just grasp the right measure. The more important point is to ensure the source of nutrition .
, especially , foods rich in , , , can help promote the production of immunoglobulin cells and will also be helpful for enhancing immunity. , enhance immunity , can inhibit the development of cancer cells and fight cancer more easily.
If you want to meet nutritional needs, you need to eat for reasonable combination of . It is best to increase the intake of fish, eggs, milk, and meat , and some supplements of fruits and vegetables, which can make nutritional supplements more comprehensive.
, and some heavy-tasting, greasy and spicy foods should avoid . These foods are not only not nutritious, but may also cause damage to the body, thereby affecting the condition.
According to the needs of patients,
A large number of cancer patients have poor appetite. Some are because cancer itself causes poor appetite. Some are due to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. No matter what the reason is, for patients with poor appetite, they need to accommodate patients with poor appetite.
, but does not mean that there is no principle . For some foods that are harmful to health, we still have to refuse the requirements. We can only be accommodating patients with in different ways , try to eat some light and nutritious diet.
Eat more digestible foods
Some cancer patients have a greater impact on the digestive system, or are affected by some drugs, and are prone to indigestion or constipation . In order to avoid adding more burden, it is better to eat more digestible foods , which are lighter.
Moreover, I have just experienced surgery, or the related functions are still in the recovery period. If you can avoid adding any burden, don’t increase the burden. Eating more easily digestible foods will also be beneficial for nutritional supplements.
So, should tumor patients eat less or more?
is best Eat less and eat more , which will be more conducive to the recovery of the body and will be more beneficial to improve the condition. It is not recommended to infuse large-scale supplements, or to eat a lot of them compulsory, which will easily cause burdens.
and eating less and more meals can not only make the patient's mental and physical comfort, but also not easily increase the burden. It will also be more beneficial to nutritional supplements. This means that should eat at least 5-6 meals per day , and just eat for every meal 50% full .
It must be reminded that for cancer patients, eating too little is definitely not good. In the long run, their physical condition will get worse and worse, and the struggle with cancer may be at a disadvantage.
In order to avoid increasing the burden, or to cause the problem of lack of nutrition , eating less and more meals is an important dietary principle for cancer patients, so don’t take it seriously.
Another error needs to be corrected here. Some people think that cancer patients are weak and should take more supplement to improve their physical fitness and better deal with cancer.
For this, and does not recommend blindly supplementing. If is supplemented incorrectly, it is likely that the more you supplement, the more you add it, the more you become weak. In fact, cancer patients need to be more nutritious than supplements.
Some people say that eating more can cause tumors to metastasis and spread more easily. Is it trustworthy?
will have such concerns, mostly because cancer cells will compete with the human body for nutrition, and eating more means that they will continue to provide nutrients to cancer cells, which will make them grow faster, and the possibility of metastasis and spread will naturally increase.
Because cancer cells will seize nutrition, some people may think that Fasting can starve cancer cells . This idea is still a bit naive to kill cancer cells by not eating.
If cancer cells are so easy to starve to death, cancer will not be so difficult to treat. Similarly, if you eat more, the tumor spreads and metastasis will become faster. This statement of is also incorrect. .
Although cancer cells will compete for nutrition, The human body also needs nutrition . When eating too much, the human body can also supplement the required nutrients as much as possible. The development of cancer cells does not only require nutritional support, but its fertility and growth rate are itself very fast.
Of course, eating too much may not be a good thing for cancer patients. It can only be said that eating more is appropriate, which is beneficial to cancer patients fighting cancer, not to say that eating too much.
Cancer patients want to prolong their survival, they should indeed adhere to some principles in terms of diet to avoid the disease development faster due to additional problems, and their lifespan will be greatly affected.
