How should patients with advanced lung cancer eat? Introduction to the dietary principles of advanced lung cancer

Many people who are in the late stage of lung cancer basically have the mentality of waiting for death: they are going to die anyway, so why bother to treat it? Life is just about death. So, they give up treatment and relax their taboos. However, ask yourself, who is not afraid of death? Who doesn't want to live well? So, for patients with advanced lung cancer, how can you give up so easily? Even in the late stage, you should pay attention to your diet.

1. Patients with advanced lung cancer should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables

Choose foods that are cool, rich in water, easy to swallow, can nourish qi and blood, and improve digestion, such as fruits such as pears, kiwis, apples, wax apples, loquats, and seeds such as walnuts, mung beans, pumpkin seeds, red beans, and sunflower seeds. Vegetables such as winter melon, lotus roots, radishes, Chinese cabbage, mushrooms, spinach, asparagus, water chestnuts, day lilies, cabbage, white fungus, etc.

2. Patients with advanced lung cancer should eat meat in moderation

Fish is the best, followed by seafood, and then poultry and livestock meat. Fish include sea bass, yellow croaker, grass carp, and loach; seafood includes oysters and sea cucumbers; meat includes chicken, duck, and beef. However, seafood with high cholesterol content, such as crabs and lobsters, is generally not recommended.

3. Diet therapy for advanced lung cancer

Appetite-stimulating and qi-replenishing soup: 1 piece of fresh yam (yam) weighing about 1 liang, 3 liang of white radish, 1 egg, appropriate amounts of red dates, white fungus and lily (traditional Chinese medicine), add appropriate amount of water to boil soup, which can be eaten as a snack or a main meal.

Yam and radish both have the effect of stimulating appetite and strengthening the spleen, red dates can replenish blood, and lily can calm the nerves. They are very helpful for patients who feel weak and have no appetite during the treatment period.

Pear and pig lung: According to the theory of complementary functions in traditional medicine, stewing pig lung with Chuanbei and pear, which can clear away heat and reduce annealing, can strengthen lung qi and increase spirit. Take half a lobe of pig lung, 2 pears, and 4 cents of Chuanbei and stew them together. You can eat it after it is cooked, but the pig lung must be cleaned very well.

Red bean and carp soup: Cook red beans and carp together, eat the meat and drink the soup. This is a traditional diuretic food, especially suitable for late-stage lung cancer when water has accumulated in the lungs.

Patients with advanced lung cancer, we all know that being ill is a very painful thing, especially in the advanced stages. Many people choose to give up. You are liberated, but what about your family and friends who have been with you from the beginning? Do you have the heart to disappoint them? Do you have the heart to make them sad for you? So, don't give up easily.
