A lot of what you believe about nutrition is wrong. For example, cancer patients should avoid certain foods, fruits containing fructose can not be eaten, more bone soup is nutritious, sour, spicy and hair can not be eaten. Every time, ah, he told the patient that you had to eat more delicious and nutritious food. The patients and their families in the whole room began to ask and discuss very interesting questions. There were a lot of questions, one by one.
First, should cancer patients avoid certain foods? No, you can eat anything flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, in the south or in the north. The more you add, the better, the richer the better. A balanced diet and comprehensive nutritional supplements are a good way to improve the overall immunity. Blind taboos will lead to unbalanced diet and inadequate nutritional intake, so we should eat.
Second, can cancer patients eat spicy food? Yes, but in moderation. Besides onion, ginger, garlic, leek and pepper, there are pepper, pepper, cinnamon, star anise and so on. They are all spicy foods, and they will stimulate the oral and gastrointestinal mucosa to a certain extent. So if you have stomatitis, dry mouth, sore throat, gastrointestinal discomfort and diarrhea after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, you should pay attention to eating these things. If your nutritional status is relatively poor, you have no appetite, and there is no other damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa, then eating spicy food will stimulate our appetite, increase the intake of food, and thus increase nutrition. So, ah, there is no need to avoid certain foods excessively, depending on the specific circumstances.
Third, the better the nutrition, the faster the tumor grows. Many patients are worried about this problem. They are afraid that too much nutrition will promote the growth of tumor cells. They dare not eat more. Some people even use the extreme way of dieting to starve tumor cells first. It’s too naive. Even if you don’t eat or drink, you can’t starve him to death. His ability to survive is too strong. Tumor cells will keep robbing normal cells of a nutrient, and normal cells can’t kill tumor cells. That is to say, if there is really nothing to eat, it is not the tumor cells that starve to death first, but our own state of hunger for a long time, which will seriously consume our body, leading to malnutrition, weight loss and low immunity. So it’s really better to increase nutrition and enhance resistance. On the basis of ensuring the normal function of our body, we can use radiotherapy and chemotherapy to eliminate tumor cells step by step.
Fourth, chicken, duck, seafood are hair, is not edible? Hair, huh? In fact, it is the most common word in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, such as shrimp, beef, mutton, crucian carp, eggs, milk, broken food, onion, ginger and garlic, which are rich in high nutrition and protein. It is about a kind of medication experience based on the four qi and five flavors of drugs. It is generally believed that this kind of food can cause the recurrence of old diseases and the aggravation of impatience. But in modern medicine and nutrition, it emphasizes the nutrition and energy of food, and there is no hair. And cancer patients have a relatively high incidence of malnutrition due to various reasons, so they often need to add rich protein to their diet, and meat, eggs, milk and other products are also rich in high-quality protein, so they can be eaten without allergy, and they are encouraged to eat.
Fifth, alkaline anti-cancer, acid cancer. Because of one of the metabolic characteristics of tumor cells, for example, the increase in lactic acid released by glucose aerobic glycolysis may lead to an acidic environment around tumor cells, that is to say, tumor metabolism produces an acidic environment, not that the acidic environment promotes the growth of tumor cells. In addition, our human body has a very strong acid-base balance system. The PH value of the blood is constantly maintained at 7.35 to 7.45, and there will not be too much fluctuation because of the water you drink and the food you eat. Even if the water you drink and the food you eat are very acidic or alkaline, it is impossible for the acid and alkali to reach the tumor cells. Because the water you drink and the food you eat go into the stomach, become acidic through the fusion of strong acid gastric juice, and then become alkaline through the neutralization of alkaline intestinal juice. Then, after a series of digestion and absorption, as well as the strong regulation function of the human body, the pH value has long been adjusted to the normal range.
Sixth, can fruit contain fructose to eat? In the dietary guidance for malignant tumors, cancer patients are advised to eat 200 to 300 grams of fruit a day. Although studies have shown that fructose can replace glucose as a new energy source for cancer cells, the content of fructose in fruits is relatively low, accounting for only 10% to 20%. Fruits contain a lot of vitamins, dietary fiber and other nutrients, which are indispensable and irreplaceable foods for human body. Studies have also shown that insufficient fruit intake for a long time is also one of the risk factors for the occurrence of tumors. However, it is not recommended to drink fruit juice, which is low in cellulose and high in fructose, and nutrients are oxidized and lost in the process of juicing.
Seventh, nutrition is all in the soup. We often see, ah, family members eating meat and patients drinking soup. Because many patients and their families think that the nutritional value of stew is very high, and the essence of nutrition is all in the soup. In fact, in the process of stewing, only a small part of the nutrients will melt into the soup, and it will also be affected by the concentration of salt and the time of boiling. Most of the ingredients in the stew are fat, purine, cellulose and inorganic salts. The nutritional value of the soup is less than 10% of the raw materials. Most of the nutrients needed by patients, especially protein, are actually in the meat, so if you want to supplement more nutrition, you should eat meat and soup together.
