What to eat during chemotherapy?
Cancer is a malignant disease. At present, the treatment of cancer is mostly surgery plus radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and chemotherapy is the treatment process of controlling and eliminating cancer cells. In this process, there are many toxic and side effects, such as fatigue, nausea, vomiting, dry mouth and sore throat, itchy skin, loss of appetite, anorexia, diarrhea or constipation, hair loss, leukopenia, decreased immunity and even erythropenia, which makes chemotherapy impossible. At this time, it is necessary to help patients enhance their resistance. It is very important to eat well during chemotherapy. 1, the diet should be light, vegetables and fruits should be regularly quantified, and eat less and eat more meals. Cancer patients generally have poor appetite, so attention should be paid to increasing food patterns in diet to ensure good color, smell and taste, which is conducive to improving appetite. Some patients have abnormal taste and poor appetite, so they can eat a small amount of fermented bean curd. You can also take some traditional Chinese medicines and digestive AIDS such as invigorating spleen and stomach. Minimize the intake of sugary foods. Studies have shown that the energy of cancer cells mainly comes from sugar, and the ability of cancer cells to absorb sugar is 10-20 times that of normal cells. So reduce the intake of sugar. But it is not forbidden, because sugar is also an essential nutrient for the human body. Adopt scientific cooking methods. The cooking methods of patients' diet mainly include steaming, boiling, stewing, frying and soup. Seasoning should be low in salt and light, and moldy food should not be eaten. Do not eat hot foods such as ginger, onions and peppers, and do not eat cold foods for cold diseases. 2. Tumor patients with different constitutions need to eat different foods for adjuvant treatment. Chinese medicine pays attention to the homology of medicine and food. Like medicine, food has four flavors: cold, hot, warm, cold, sour, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty. The smell and meridian tropism of food determine the different functions of food, so tumor patients with different constitutions need to eat different foods to play an auxiliary treatment role. During or after radiotherapy, if patients have radiation reaction, they can eat some nourishing yin products, such as green tea, lotus root juice, almonds, figs, honey, sea cucumbers, crucian carp, etc., and at the same time fast spicy and spicy foods, such as peppers, etc. If the patient has leukopenia during or after chemotherapy, it is advisable to supplement lean meat, fish, dates, longan, red beans, quail, mushrooms, soft-shelled turtles, walnuts and other foods that can fight cancer and increase white blood cells; When patients have anorexia, dyspepsia, loose stool and other symptoms, they can be given foods that strengthen the spleen and stomach, such as coix seed, hawthorn, yam, jujube, dried tangerine peel, kiwi fruit, loach, pond fish and grass carp, so as to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy. 3. After radiotherapy and chemotherapy, with professional anti-chemotherapy drugs can effectively control the side effects. However, a comprehensive diet can only play an auxiliary role. To effectively change the side effects of chemotherapy, only by combining with professional anti-chemotherapy drugs can we effectively control the side effects. Pharmacological studies have proved that Ganoderma lucidum has anti-tumor and side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and its main effective components are Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides and Ganoderma lucidum triterpenoids, and the content of the two directly determines the curative effect. Ganoderma lucidum spore powder is the seed of Ganoderma lucidum, which concentrates all the essence of Ganoderma lucidum, and its medicinal value is several times higher than that of Ganoderma lucidum, which is why once Ganoderma lucidum spore powder breaks out, its medicinal value will be greatly reduced. Medical grade ganoderma lucidum spore powder is the reconcentration of ordinary wall-broken ganoderma lucidum spore powder. Usually, the efficacy content is increased by more than 10 times, and the total content of polysaccharides and triterpenoids reaches 30%, which can reach the experimental clinical level. Therefore, it is a professional anti-tumor, anti-radiation and chemotherapy ganoderma lucidum product. It can further enhance the anti-tumor immunity of patients, and can be used in combination with traditional Chinese medicines aimed at tumor sites and pathological types of cancer cells to eliminate symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness and palpitation, inhibit the spread and metastasis of tumors, and stabilize the disease. Its disadvantage is that the treatment cost is relatively high, generally more than 20 yuan per gram. Another problem is that the medical grade spore powder technology has not been mastered by many enterprises so far, so it is not easy to find the real medical grade ganoderma lucidum spore powder.
