1, tortoise
Soft-shelled turtle tastes sweet, enters the liver and spleen meridian, and is rich in high protein and fat, and has the functions of nourishing yin, cooling blood, clearing away heat and resolving hard mass, and tonifying kidney.
From the perspective of Chinese medicine, soft-shelled turtle is really suitable for some tumor patients. Chinese medicine believes that patients with yin deficiency can eat soft-shelled turtle. What is yin deficiency? Yin deficiency, loss of body fluid and qi and blood, lack of moistening, mainly manifested as red tongue, fever in hands and feet, sweating all over after waking up. This kind of patients are more common in radiotherapy patients. Radiotherapy is to irradiate tumors with different energy rays, which belongs to "heat toxicity". When heat poison is irradiated on people, it will lose body fluid and water-that is, it will hurt yin, especially when radiotherapy is used to treat head and neck tumors, which will lead to dry mouth and sore throat. It is possible to eat soft-shelled turtle to nourish yin and regulate the secretion of body fluid.
But it should be noted that not all tumor patients can eat soft-shelled turtle. If patients have digestive tract reactions after chemotherapy, such as nausea, loss of appetite, chronic diarrhea, etc., they can't eat soft-shelled turtles. Chinese medicine believes that soft-shelled turtles are thick and greasy. Originally, my digestive ability was weak, and I often ate soft-shelled turtle, so my stomach couldn't digest it, which made the burden worse.
2. Chicken and eggs
There is a folk saying that "cancer patients can't eat chickens and eggs", which is actually without scientific basis.
Cancer patients are very weak after surgery and chemotherapy. After a while, they should eat some chicken and eggs to nourish their bodies, enhance their physique and anti-cancer ability. Because chicken and eggs are very rich in nutrition, the content of protein in food is very high, and the fat content is low, and it also contains a variety of essential amino acids, which are easily digested and absorbed by the human body, which can effectively improve immunity and help patients recover.
However, it should be noted that cancer patients with uremia, biliary obstruction, severe damage to liver and kidney function or pancreatic tumor should not eat eggs. People with yin deficiency bleeding, fever and excessive internal heat should not eat more.
3. sea cucumber
Sea cucumber contains crude protein, mucin, glycoprotein, crude fat, sugar, calcium, iron and other nutrients. It is a high-protein and low-fat food with extremely low cholesterol. Cancer patients can enhance their immunity by eating sea cucumber.
It is worth noting that although there are folk reports that bioactive components such as polysaccharides, saponins and peptides in sea cucumber may have anticancer effects, sea cucumber is not regarded as a treatment method in clinical medicine, in other words, it is not recognized that sea cucumber can treat cancer in clinical medicine.
4. Ganoderma lucidum spore powder
Although Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is a very good health food, it has many functions, such as lowering three highs, improving immunity and beauty beauty. Among them, many tumor patients improve their immunity by supplementing Ganoderma lucidum spore powder after surgery and radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Please note: It is often said that "Ganoderma lucidum spore powder can destroy tumor-specific telomerase and poison tumor cells", while others say that "Ganoderma lucidum spore powder can regulate tumor cell potential and directly destroy tumor cells". In fact, the medical clinic has not officially confirmed that Ganoderma lucidum has this function, but only emphasizes that the peptides and polysaccharides contained in Ganoderma lucidum have a certain effect on enhancing human immunity. It's just an adjuvant therapy, not a dominant therapy.
