Dietary taboos for breast cancer patients

After the death of singer Yao Beina, breast cancer has received more attention. It is one of the most important diseases that endanger women's health. In fact, in daily life, there are many foods that are beneficial to breast cancer patients. They are still very helpful in curing breast cancer and can have a relatively effective therapeutic effect. So breast cancer patients should eat in their daily diet.

(1) Providing easily digestible and absorbable protein foods, such as milk, eggs, fish, and soy products, can improve the body's ability to fight cancer. Among them, milk and eggs can improve protein disorders after radiotherapy.

(2) Eat an appropriate amount of sugar to supplement calories. Patients who receive high-dose radiotherapy may have their sugar metabolism destroyed, glycogen levels drop sharply, lactic acid in the blood increases and cannot be used anymore; and insulin deficiency worsens. Therefore, supplementing with glucose is more effective. In addition, it is advisable to eat more sugar-rich foods such as honey, rice, noodles, potatoes, etc. to supplement calories.

(3) Eat more foods that have anti-cancer effects, such as soft-shelled turtle, mushroom, black fungus, garlic, seaweed, mustard and royal jelly. Some Chinese medicines can also be chosen, such as ginsenoside Rh2 (life-protecting factor) with a content of 16.2%, which can fight cancer and improve appetite, and cordyceps, which can enhance immunity.

(4) Vitamin A and C can prevent cell malignancy and spread and increase the stability of epithelial cells. Vitamin C can also prevent the general symptoms of radiation damage and increase the level of white blood cells; Vitamin E can promote cell division and delay cell aging; Vitamin B1 can promote the patient's appetite and alleviate the symptoms caused by radiotherapy. Therefore, you should eat more foods rich in the above vitamins, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, sesame oil, cereals, beans, and animal offal.

(5) Patients undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy should generally eat cold foods and drinks; however, patients who feel cold should eat hot foods.

Through the above dietary precautions for breast cancer patients, I believe everyone has a deeper understanding of the dietary requirements for breast cancer patients. Drinking a glass of milk in the morning and evening, eating easily digestible food, and not eating spicy food are all very good for breast cancer patients. Breast cancer patients should keep the above precautions in mind and be responsible for their own bodies. I wish breast cancer patients a speedy recovery!
