What kind of diet should patients with breast cancer pay attention to?

Due to long-term dietary structure, living habits and other factors, the body's overall function has declined, causing kidney deficiency. The liver and kidney are of the same origin, so kidney deficiency also causes liver deficiency, which in turn causes the upper-jiao metabolic cycle to slow down, causing thyroid disease and endocrine disorders, and immune function decline, which then develops into abnormal proliferation of breast tissue and eventually leads to cancer. Therefore, the care of breast cancer patients should also start with the diet. A good diet may help breast cancer patients get better. So how should breast cancer patients eat?

The diet should be balanced, not partial to one type of food, not taboo food, meat and vegetables, coarse and fine food, the more food varieties the better; toxins should be eliminated. Do not eat pickled, salted, moldy, smoked, pigmented, or flavored food. Do not drink strong alcohol; eat more natural and wild food, eat less artificially reproduced and processed food; reasonable tonic can improve immunity. Some tonics such as ginseng, white fungus, and red dates have direct or indirect effects of inhibiting cancer and strengthening the body; when cooking, use steaming, boiling, and stewing more, and try to eat less fried and pan-fried food.

The diet of cancer patients must rely on various nutrients in food. The main problem of cancer patients is nutritional disorders. Improving the nutrition of patients is the most important measure in anti-cancer treatment. Reasonable diet allocation for cancer patients can improve the body's resistance and is very beneficial to the treatment and recovery of patients. The following points should be noted when adjusting the diet of cancer patients:

(1) 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.

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

(3) Eat more foods that have anti-cancer effects, such as soft-shelled turtle, mushroom, black fungus, garlic, seaweed, mustard greens and royal jelly.

(4) 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.

(5) Patients undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy should generally eat cold foods and drinks; however, patients who feel cold should eat hot foods.

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

(7) For patients who have difficulty chewing, swallowing, digesting and absorbing tumors or who are deficient in special nutrients after surgery, 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.

Of course, after noting the above dietary issues, breast cancer patients should also pay attention to maintaining an optimistic attitude and actively cooperate with doctors for treatment. Only in this way can they promote the body's recovery as soon as possible and restore the true nature of a healthy life!
