Diet therapy for prostate cancer patients with blood stasis constitution

Prostate cancer patients suffer from poor local blood flow due to tumor compression, which causes blood stasis, manifested as pain and lumps in the prostate area. Long-term blood stasis constitution can also cause systemic reactions, such as red eyes, dry and rough skin, irritability, forgetfulness, and quick temper. The symptoms will worsen during radiotherapy and chemotherapy, manifested as gray complexion, dark lips, dark eye sockets, cracked skin, easy bleeding, etc.

At this time, patients can eat more walnuts, arrowhead, black soybeans and other foods that have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. The diet therapy recipe suitable for such patients is "peach kernel porridge", and its preparation is as follows.

Ingredients: 10~15g peach kernel, 50~100g polished rice.

Preparation method: First, mash the walnut kernels into a paste, add water, grind into juice, remove the residue, and cook with glutinous rice into a thin porridge.

Dosage: Take once a day, 5 to 7 days as a course of treatment.

Efficacy: Peach kernel tastes bitter and sweet and is neutral in nature. It can enter the heart, liver, and large intestine meridians. It has the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, relieving menstruation and relieving pain, and moistening the intestines and relieving constipation. Modern research shows that the amygdalin contained in peach kernels can help the body's trypsin digest the transparent mucin membrane of cancer cells, allowing white blood cells to approach cancer cells and engulf them. Its hydrolysis products, hydrocyanic acid and further metabolites of benzaldehyde, have certain effects on improving anemia and pain in patients, respectively.

Therefore, prostate cancer patients can choose to take it according to their own condition and dietary preferences.
