The best diet for breast cancer patients

Breast cancer is a disease that female friends are more familiar with, and the treatment of breast cancer is relatively difficult. For early breast cancer, the general treatment method is surgery. Surgical treatment is certainly important, but the diet of breast cancer patients during the illness is also very important. This requires patients to correctly match and choose their diet. Let us learn how to correctly match and choose diet.

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

2. Breast cancer patients should have a balanced diet, not be partial to certain foods, not avoid certain foods, and have a combination of meat and vegetables, coarse and fine foods. The more food varieties, the better. 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.

3. Eat more natural, wild foods, and less artificially produced and processed foods; eat more foods with anti-cancer effects, such as soft-shelled turtle, mushroom, black fungus, garlic, seaweed, mustard and royal jelly.

4. Patients undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy should generally eat cold food and drink cold drinks; but patients with a cold sensation should eat hot food.

5. For patients who have difficulty chewing, swallowing, digestion and absorption and lack of special nutrients after surgery for tumors in various parts of the body, different diets and supplements of the missing nutrients can be given according to the situation. If necessary, a compound nutritional diet can be given to enhance the patient's resistance.

6. Diversify the diet, pay attention to color, aroma, taste and shape, and promote the patient's appetite; use steaming, boiling and stewing methods to cook food, avoid eating difficult to digest foods and refrain from drinking alcohol.

7. 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.
