The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Today we will talk about what cancer patients should pay attention to in their diet during the Chinese New Year?
First, it is necessary to mix meat and vegetables and maintain a balanced nutrition.
During the Chinese New Year, there are more meat foods on the dining table. While we eat high-quality protein foods such as fish, chicken, eggs, beef, etc., we must also ensure the supplement of vitamin foods, and eat half a catty of fruits and one catty of vegetables every day.
Second, eat less and more often to protect your stomach
We can eat two more meals, up to 5 or even 6 meals a day, in the face of various delicious dishes, but do not eat too much at each meal, and the total food intake should not exceed the usual amount.
Third, be brave enough to refuse
During the Spring Festival, relatives and friends often "persuad you to eat" or "drink" out of good intentions. Some patients think that not eating this or touching that will ruin everyone's happiness. However, everyone must not be too concerned about face, and don't take chances. Eating the wrong things may cause hidden dangers to the body.
fourth, Pay attention to cooking methods
During the Chinese New Year, many families have the habit of cooking smoked and fried foods, such as bacon, croquettes, rice cakes, etc. Some of these foods contain carcinogens and some are difficult to digest. It is best not to be eaten by cancer patients. Some dishes that symbolize auspicious meanings may wish to change the cooking method. For example, rice cakes that symbolize "promotion every year" can be steamed instead. Avoid excessive frying and deep-frying, and steam, boil, stew, and stir-fry are the main cooking methods.
Fifth, do not eat sugar, nor should you drink sugary drinks. You can drink milk, yogurt, juice, etc.
Sixth, carry your own rations with you
It is common to miss meals during the Chinese New Year. For cancer patients, hypoglycemia is prone to occur due to physical reasons, so during the Spring Festival, cancer patients can always keep a pack of basic energy nutrition powder by their side, and drink a cup when the meal time comes. The nutrients in it are relatively dense and easy to absorb, which can quickly replenish the body with nutrients and also avoid malnutrition caused by unreasonable diet during the Chinese New Year.
