Many people are struggling with how to arrange the diet of cancer patients, and whether they can eat the staple food. In this regard, Yang Chengping, deputy chief physician of Chengdu Puji Cancer Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said: Tumor patients must have at least two or two staple foods for a meal. So what are the specific statements about the dietary problems of cancer patients? Let’s follow the editor to find out.
Now most of the cancer patients are the elderly and middle-aged and elderly. When they were still young, they ate extravagant food. At that time, when it came to supplement nutrition, it was just to supplement protein or eat more vegetables and fruits. In fact, in traditional Chinese medicine, “five grains for nourishment” means that staple foods such as rice and noodles are mainly to supplement the body’s energy, followed by protein, fat and carbohydrates. Most tumor patients are relatively thin, or have poor spleen and stomach functions, which are mostly manifestations of lack of energy in the body.

In fact, whether it is a normal person or a tumor patient, the body consumes energy every day. If the body’s energy is not enough, it will extract energy from fat or other parts of the body for consumption. Therefore, if the body does not replenish energy, the body will become thinner and thinner. , This is not good for tumor patients, it will only accelerate the aging of the body and reduce the metabolism, which will lead to a decrease in the body’s resistance and make the tumor serious.

There are many tumor patients in clinic, some of them have come to Deputy Chief Physician Yang Chengping, most of them are in the advanced stage, relying on their own awareness of wanting to live, they go to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and have undergone several or more than ten sessions. There are even dozens of episodes, thinking that this method can fight the disease, but this method may not have good results. Most patients will be notified by the doctor when their body quality is not enough to withstand radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment. Continued treatment, conservative treatment is recommended.” Therefore, the recovery after radiotherapy and chemotherapy should also pay attention to diet.

In addition, many patients encountered by Deputy Chief Physician Yang Chengping have a very anxious mentality. Whether it is the patient himself or his family members, they all want to recover as soon as possible and think about short-term results, but such effects are often accompanied by powerful side effects. , If the situation is not good, it will also stimulate the disease, causing the disease to become more serious or even relapse, and accelerate death.
Therefore, Deputy Chief Physician Yang Chengping warned patients on a daily basis: The more severe the disease, the more calm the mood should be. At this time, the body is weak and the strong medicine hurts the body. The more poison, the more damage. If the patient’s condition has used six-point medicine, he will not dare to use it again. Once the dose is over, it will be counterproductive. The treatment pays attention to the effect, but it should not be excessive. When the viscera function of cancer patients is seriously disturbed, they should be treated first, and usually eat more rice, porridge and other staple foods to nourish, and then eat meat.
