The most authoritative diet for people with tongue cancer

It usually takes a long time for tongue cancer patients to recover. During treatment, rehabilitation and normal life, they should always pay attention to the health and principles of diet. This can not only shorten the recovery time of tongue cancer patients but also is a critical step in preventing and controlling tongue cancer. Here I will introduce to you the most authoritative diet for tongue cancer patients.

1. The recipe structure should be reasonable. The diet care for tongue cancer must not be simple and single. It should be diverse, new and well-structured. When making a recipe, try to combine lightness with high nutritional quality, soft and easy to digest with rich vitamins, freshness with cold, hot, warm and neutral taste, and total supply with cold, hot, deficiency and excess syndrome of the patient's internal organs. It is best to do it under the guidance of a doctor.

2. The cooking and eating methods should be particular, and efforts should be made to improve the patient's appetite. In the selection, preparation, and cooking of food, good sensory properties of food should be created, and efforts should be made in taste, color, fragrance, and shape to suit and satisfy the patient's taste preferences and habits as much as possible. It is also necessary to adopt small meals, coarse and fine combinations, liquid food, alternating soft and hard food, and sweet and salty food according to the patient's digestive ability. Create a pleasant atmosphere when eating, and try to eat with relatives. Before eating, try to avoid adverse stimulation such as oil smoke. During the interval between radiotherapy and chemotherapy, seize the favorable opportunity when the patient's appetite improves to supplement nutrition.

3. Total calories. The total calories that tongue cancer patients take in from food every day should not be lower than the minimum requirement of normal people, that is, more than 10 kilojoules per day. Because tongue cancer patients have high protein decomposition, reduced anabolism, and a negative nitrogen balance state of insufficient nutrition, the demand for protein should be increased. Generally, the daily protein intake should reach more than 1.5 grams of body weight, and should be mainly high-quality protein, such as eggs, milk, meat, soy products, etc.

4. Nutrition should be relatively balanced. According to the needs of the patient, each nutrient should be appropriate and complete. In addition to sufficient high-quality protein intake, low-fat and moderate carbohydrates should be the main ingredients. Pay attention to supplementing vitamins, inorganic salts, cellulose, etc., which can be obtained from fresh vegetables and fruits.

1. Dietary care for patients with tongue cancer before surgery:

Cancer resection surgery, especially some clearance surgeries, are very large surgeries and are very traumatic to the patient's body. Therefore, giving the patient a good diet before surgery so that the patient has a good physique to ensure the smooth progress of the operation is a necessary condition for promoting the patient's recovery. Therefore, patients should take some specific measures to increase nutrition within a period of time before surgery. For example, thinner patients should have a high-calorie, high-protein, and high-vitamin diet so that the patient can gain weight in a short period of time; obese patients should be given a high-protein, low-fat diet to store some protein and consume body fat, because excessive body fat will affect wound healing. Generally, patients should fast for 12 hours before surgery and abstain from water for 46 hours before surgery to prevent vomiting or aspiration pneumonia during anesthesia or surgery. More food accumulation in the gastrointestinal tract will also affect the smooth progress of the operation.

2. Dietary care for patients with tongue cancer after surgery:

In the early stage after surgery, special ways of nutrition are generally used, such as intravenous hypernutrition. After the gastrointestinal function is restored, clear liquid food or liquid food can be given first, and then gradually transitioned to semi-liquid food, and then to soft food or ordinary food after a period of time, so as to supplement the patient with a large amount of protein and vitamins. In order to promote the patient's early recovery or receive other treatments as soon as possible, postoperative patients are generally given a nutritious diet with high protein, high calories and high vitamins, such as beef, mutton and lean pork, chicken, fish, shrimp, eggs, steak and soy products. Patients can drink more milk, lotus root powder and fresh fruit juice, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

3. Patients with tongue cancer should pay attention to diet therapy in their daily life. The following is the diet therapy:

1. Take 1 piece of each of the Tibetan blueberry, fresh pomegranate, and fresh black plum every day, dissolve them in your mouth, and take them continuously.

2. Rice porridge: 120g japonica rice, 1 egg, 3g refined salt, 1650g water. It has the functions of nourishing the kidney and replenishing essence, promoting diuresis and relieving stranguria, and can be used as an auxiliary treatment for this disease.

3. Job's tears porridge, 50g of Job's tears and appropriate amount of sugar. It has the function of strengthening the spleen and removing dampness, and can be used for postoperative conditioning.

4. During radiotherapy, you can eat sugar cane, apples, bananas, pineapples, etc.

5. During chemotherapy, you can often eat lentils, lotus seeds, yam, asparagus, yam and chicken egg yolk porridge.

The above is what I want to introduce about the new dietary goals for tongue cancer patients. I hope it will be helpful for your recovery.

In addition to the above, traditional Chinese medicine is also very helpful for the patient's recovery. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used in the patient's food, which greatly enhances the role of diet therapy and is of great help to the patient's recovery.
