Dietary principles for patients with mid-stage bone cancer

In addition to relevant treatments for bone cancer, you also need to learn how to take care of your diet. What are the dietary principles for patients with mid-stage bone cancer?

1. Balanced nutrition, ensuring "double high": Cancer patients' diet should be balanced and rich in nutrition, ensuring "double high", that is, high calorie and high protein intake. For example, it is best to drink two cups of milk, eat one egg and 150 grams of lean meat every day, or fish or soy products can be used instead. Eat more fresh vegetables, preferably one plate of dark green or yellow vegetables (such as green vegetables, celery, cauliflower, etc.) at each meal. Vegetables can help the body absorb protein, sugar and fat.

2. Eat a light diet with a tendency to warm and nourish: When bone cancer patients develop to the middle stage, their positive energy gradually declines and their evil energy becomes strong. At this time, treatment should be carried out to eliminate the evil while using methods such as replenishing qi, nourishing blood, nourishing yin, and supporting yang. Therefore, the diet should be light and mainly warm and nourishing. For example, those with qi deficiency should eat jujube and lotus seeds; those with blood deficiency should eat peanuts and walnuts; those with yin deficiency should eat kiwi and asparagus; those with yang deficiency should eat long sword beans and ginger, etc.

3. Supplement vitamin C and stimulate gastric juice: Eat at least 1-3 fruits rich in vitamin C every day. A balanced diet can stimulate the secretion of gastric juice, improve the digestive ability of the stomach, and regulate the secretion of the pancreas.
