Dietary conditioning methods for brain cancer radiotherapy

Brain cancer patients, like other tumor patients, also need to pay attention to nutrition during treatment, especially those undergoing radiotherapy. Improving diet can prevent the side effects of radiotherapy, so diet is very important for brain tumor patients. Let's take a look at what diet is suitable for brain cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy.

Patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy may have digestive symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite, which affect their eating. They can eat high-protein, low-fat foods, avoid greasy and fried foods, and cook light and delicious foods. Pay attention to color, aroma, and flavor, and add some non-irritating condiments to increase the patient's appetite. Some acidic foods that aid digestion, such as hawthorn cakes and red jam, can be used to make food. If you have anemia, pay attention to choosing foods rich in iron, such as liver, jujube, and animal blood.
1. Carrots: Rich in vitamins A, B2, B5, sucrose, glucose, starch, calcium, iron, phosphorus and other trace elements, especially for smokers who take more vitamin A, which can reduce the chance of lung cancer. It is an ideal food to fight cancer. The incidence of cancer in people who lack vitamin A is more than twice that of normal people.
2. Soybean: Rich in protein, complete amino acid composition, and high in iron. Rich in anti-cancer trace elements, regular consumption of soybean soup, soy milk, tofu, and dried tofu can prevent and fight cancer.
3. Garlic: It is rich in trace elements such as allicin and selenium. Regular consumption has anti-cancer, anti-cancer, bactericidal and antibacterial effects. Garlic is known as "penicillin grown in the ground".

It has anti-tumor, diuretic, anti-edema, anti-inflammatory, blood sugar lowering, and immunity enhancing effects, especially it can inhibit the reproduction of cancer cells.
