Dietary considerations for glioma patients

The faster humans develop, the more vulnerable they are to diseases, and glioma is one of them. With the development of technology, glioma can be treated surgically, but this is far from enough. We also need to slowly improve our eating habits in daily life. So what are the dietary precautions for glioma patients?

1. Some daily dietary principles for patients with brain glioma:

(1) Avoid eating foods containing carcinogenic factors, such as pickled foods, moldy foods, barbecued and smoked foods, etc. At the same time, avoid using certain food additives and crops contaminated by pesticides.

(2) Adjust the dietary structure, consume nutritious and comprehensive foods, consume foods rich in protein, amino acids, and high in vitamins, ensure a certain amount of fresh vegetables every day, encourage the intake of whole grains, and ensure sufficient trace elements and dietary fiber.

(3) Eat foods that are beneficial to the excretion and detoxification of toxins, such as mung beans, adzuki beans, winter melon, watermelon, etc., to promote the excretion of toxins.

2. Diet therapy for brain tumor patients at different treatment stages:

Different treatment stages (such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy) should adopt specific diets and foods. In general, you should eat high-quality protein foods, such as milk, eggs, and soy products, and a balanced diet; eat more green vegetables and fruits to increase vitamins; eat more fungal foods, such as fungus, shiitake mushrooms, and enoki mushrooms, etc. For patients after brain tumor surgery, in addition to general diet, they can eat more foods that nourish the kidneys and brain, calm the nerves and improve intelligence, such as sour jujube seeds, mulberries, monk fruit, Longjing tea, white fungus, black sesame, Polygonum multiflorum, and chrysanthemum.
