How to arrange diet for acute lymphoblastic leukemia?

In life, many people are afraid of tumors. Acute lymphocytic leukemia is also a common tumor disease in clinical practice. Many reasons may cause the onset of acute lymphocytic leukemia. In addition to conventional treatments for this type of problem, dietary conditioning for patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia is also very important. Diet can be an auxiliary treatment.

1. High Protein:

Leukemia is caused by pathological changes in blood cells. The amount of protein consumed in the body of such patients is much greater than that of normal people. Only by supplementing large amounts of high-quality protein can the functions of various tissues and organs be maintained. Another function of protein is to form antibodies, which protect the body from bacteria and viruses and enhance the body's resistance. Therefore, leukemia patients should consume a high-protein diet, especially more high-quality plant protein and bean protein with high digestion and absorption rate, such as tofu, tofu brain, dried tofu, yuba, soy milk and so on. To supplement the body's need for protein. Human protein has the function of regulating the acid-base balance of the human body. If the human body lacks protein, it will cause the acid-base imbalance of the human body fluids, turning the weak alkaline environment of the human body into acidic, leading to the occurrence of various endogenous diseases in the human body, including cancer.

2. Eat more foods rich in vitamins:

Clinical data show that approximately 70% to 90% of patients with malignant tumors suffer from varying degrees of vitamin deficiency in their bodies. Foreign medical research has shown that eating more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C can prevent the formation and spread of cancer cells. Taking in large amounts of vitamin C can also enhance the body's local matrix resistance and systemic immune function, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling and treating cancer. Foods rich in vitamin C include rapeseed, Chinese mustard, tomatoes, white cabbage, leek, shepherd's purse, hawthorn, citrus, fresh dates, kiwi, sea buckthorn and lemon.

3. Eat more iron-rich foods:

One of the main manifestations of leukemia is anemia, so while taking medication, patients are encouraged to regularly eat foods rich in iron, such as peas, black beans, green vegetables, dates, brown sugar, black fungus, sesame paste, egg yolks, etc.

4. Eat small and frequent meals for easy digestion:

Leukemia patients, especially during the treatment process, often have many reactions in the digestive system such as nausea, vomiting, bloating, diarrhea and other symptoms. At this time, you can adopt the method of eating small meals frequently, or add some small, high-calorie, nutritious foods in addition to three meals, such as cakes, chocolate, bread, kiwi fruit, fresh vegetable juice, etc. Adverse reactions of the digestive system: patients should take more alkaline foods to relieve digestive discomfort.
