Autumn diet strategy for laryngeal cancer patients

Autumn is the seventh, eighth and ninth months of the Chinese lunar calendar. At this time, the temperature begins to cool, and the rainfall begins to decrease. The air changes from warm and humid to cold and dry. Dry weather is very unfavorable for laryngeal cancer patients. The dry climate can easily damage the lung yin, resulting in symptoms such as dry mouth and throat, dry cough with little sputum, dry skin, constipation, etc. In severe cases, blood in sputum may also appear. Therefore, laryngeal cancer patients should pay attention to their autumn diet strategies at this time.

Laryngeal cancer patients should focus on preventing dryness in the autumn, eat more sour fruits and vegetables, and eat less spicy foods such as onions and ginger. They can eat more soft foods such as sesame, glutinous rice, honey, loquat, pineapple, and dairy products to benefit the stomach and produce fluid. The diet therapy method suitable for this season is "Snow Pear Tremella Soup", which patients can choose to take according to their own conditions.

Ingredients: 2 snow pears, 50g white fungus, 100g rock sugar.

Method: Slice the pear, soak the Tremella until soft and remove the hard root. Add water, pear, Tremella, and rock sugar to a pot and cook for 30 minutes.

Usage: Drink as tea.

Efficacy: The snow pear and white fungus in this recipe are both excellent products for preventing dryness in autumn. White fungus is a "longevity product" and a "medicine for immortality". It is mild and non-toxic. It has the effects of nourishing the spleen and appetizing, invigorating qi and clearing the intestines, and nourishing yin and moistening the lungs. Regular consumption of this tea can also enhance the body's immunity. It is a good tea recipe for patients with laryngeal cancer.
