What kind of diet should lung cancer patients pay attention to?

Lung cancer is one of the most recognized diseases in my country. In the early stage of lung cancer, it has less impact on the function of the digestive system, so we should strengthen our diet and nutrition in time to enhance our resistance so that our body can withstand the damage to normal physiology caused by surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. So what kind of diet should lung cancer patients pay attention to? Let's learn about it together!

If the patient has symptoms such as coughing and hemoptysis, he should take some cough-relieving, blood-enriching and anti-cancer foods, such as lotus root, pear, lily, white fungus, dairy products, soy products, etc.

After surgery, lung cancer patients may suffer from shortness of breath, fatigue, chest tightness, sweating, etc. due to damage to the lung qi. Therefore, their diet should be mainly composed of foods that replenish qi and nourish blood, such as yam, jujube, eggs, lean meat, lotus root, cabbage, longan, pine nuts, apples, etc.

During radiotherapy, lung cancer patients will damage their lungs, causing symptoms such as dry mouth and throat, cough with little sputum, and skin burning pain. They should eat more yin-nourishing and blood-nourishing foods, and mainly fresh vegetables and fruits, such as almond juice, water chestnuts, white pears, persimmons, loquats, wolfberries, sweet oranges, monk fruit, bananas, walnuts, white fungus, lilies, tomatoes, spinach, lotus roots, honey, jellyfish skin, whitebait, etc.

During chemotherapy, lung cancer patients may suffer from severe damage to their Qi and blood due to drug toxicity, general fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and even bone marrow suppression, decreased platelets and white blood cells, etc. At this time, Qi and blood should be replenished. In addition to drug treatment, carp, pork rib soup, bird's nest, shiitake mushroom, fungus, cordyceps, astragalus, jujube, peanuts, sunflower seeds, pig skin soup, animal liver, etc. can be selected in the diet.

Patients with advanced lung cancer eat less and have poor digestion and absorption due to the progression of the disease, showing obvious symptoms of malnutrition. They should be given light, easily digestible, high-nutrition foods and eat small, frequent meals to prevent cachexia.

The above is an introduction to the diet of lung cancer patients. I hope this knowledge is helpful to everyone.
