Cancer treatment how to diet?

There are model-like appearance and sweet brisk confident smile, 30 early, engaged in the service industry a good quiet, just a few days ago after a more than six months of cancer treatment. 


 Food also love her, diagnosed with cancer and life after the vegetarian diet, has just started as a result of not used, the mother prepared the food good and no taste, poor appetite, often rely on white rice with salt barely make ends meet, have physical weak to not be able to continue treatment. 


 Physical and nutritional needs chemotherapy until the hospital staff and relatives of "sweet, good drink," hospital-specific nutrient enriched formula before the gradual return of her physical strength, and the successful completion of treatment. 


 The nutritional status of cancer patients treatment outcome at stake. Research has confirmed that the nutritional status of better cancer treatment side effects and lower the infection rate, the more effect to achieve cure. And increase immunity, the body can also be a speedy recovery. 



 One of the elements of the treatment of cancer is to maintain weight. The need to physically fight against cancer, nutrition supplies sufficient to repair the process of reconstruction in the cancer tissue damage. 



 23-year-old suffering from lymphatic cancer and successfully overcome cancer, "big nose cancer diary" author Zhao M chemotherapy forced their efforts to increase during the meal, "the newspaper mouth bite you see the word" weight increased rather than decreased recovery situation than the average person better. 


 Many cancer patients are not dead, but it is "starving to death" or "scary" and professor of surgery at National Taiwan University College of Medicine King-Jen Chang said. 


 The study found that about 40% percent cancer patients did not die of the disease itself, but malnourished. Early nutritional support, not only can improve the completion rate of radiotherapy to reduce the length of hospital stay (from 13.5 days to 3.2 days), each patient can save an average of 3708 U.S. dollars, published in the "clinical cancer study" Journal of studies have shown.

In particular, after the cancer, many people eat vegetarian or living foods diet, "this is wrong," Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital, director of nutrition shook his head. 



 Before cancer treatment, those most in need to improve people's nutritional status, unless already a vegetarian, or living foods diet for many years, can achieve the goal of nutritionally balanced, otherwise, this lack of fish egg custard dietary pattern, it is easy due to insufficient protein intake, resulting in weight loss or physical deteriorate. 



 "Bad physical condition, it would be more dangerous to operate," the Republic of China Xie Cancer Medical Association chairman Dr. Jui-Kun, it is not recommended in the treatment of patients to eat vegetarian ago, he considered that a vegetarian to eat nutritious enough, take some time to adjust, "No one will be to guide the problem," he said. 



 Against cancer, at different stages of their own in response to dietary response, as long as the election time, you can eat healthy and happy. 



 Election on time, cancer patients may also desire 

 ˙ preparation period: from diagnosis to chemotherapy and radiotherapy and surgery 



 Food responses: calorie and protein supplement. Dietary protein and five grains, tubers, and roots-oriented, if spare capacity can add fruits and vegetables. 



 Surgery or chemotherapy can cause serious depletion of the body, so the need for adequate protein involved in repair and reconstruction projects. 



 How do I know the nutritional status of the individual sufficient? First of all, calculate whether you are a standard body weight. If the weight or just over, while maintaining a balanced diet generally good, no additional supplementary heat. 



 If the weight is too light, the best efforts to increase meal, multi-bean custard from fish protein category. 



 For example, the daily dietary guidelines recommended daily fish eggs beans 4 into 5 (second, third and fourth fingers is a combined size), a glass of milk a day to two cups (1 cup = 240cc).

A serious shortage of body weight may be nutritionists recommended nutritional supplement concentrated formula. 



 As for colors and fresh fruits and vegetables, fiber and more, fewer calories and easy to have a sense of satiety, and therefore can only increase the weight as a supporting role, the best protein and five grains, tubers, and roots-oriented. 



 It was also the day drink five or six bottles of Essence of Chicken before and after treatment to maintain the physical, nutritionists reminds from Huang: "Essence of Chicken can help, but can not replace the normal diet." 



 Chicken is a low-fat, vitamin rich in protein hydrolysis, the advantage is easier to digest, if the patient can be a fitting complement to poor appetite. Chicken protein content but is not high, still need to tie in with the normal diet in order to make up the body heat requirements. 



 ˙ treatment period: after surgery and chemotherapy and radiotherapy during the 



 Food responses: the maintenance of body weight, calorie protein supplement. Eating less taboo, as long as like to eat, and eat as much as possible to eat. 



 Chemotherapy can cause reduced appetite, taste changes, such as side effects, serious impact on nutritional status of patients. 



 Eat well, not only can enhance immunity, can also reduce the suffering discomfort during chemotherapy. 



 Regardless of Chinese and Western doctors or dietitians, are in favor of patients without restraint at this time I want to, you can look a little indulgence, eating their favorite things to eat, or eat, whether it is ice cream, milk shake, donut, "occasionally to eat hot pot can also be you, "Hsieh Jui-Kun what doctors to encourage patients to eat, what to eat, and can try a variety of tastes of food to increase the appetite. 



 Breast cancer Phase III Miss Jiang, during chemotherapy strictly "added protein, the most important physical" criteria, in addition to moderate intake of fish, the daily morning cup of protein hormone (milk protein) plus milk, yogurt and also with sesame paste.

Finish the full course of treatment, she gained weight, in addition to the bones will be sore, the "little uncomfortable," she said, the most happy, the new jet-black hair grow meticulous, full of shiny, and buying a little volume degrees, also beautiful than before. 



 For poor appetite, no appetite for people to increase from the snack calorie intake. 



 Small but high-calorie snacks category, such as milkshakes, pudding (leaching caramel, maple syrup), ice cream (which can add milk), milk + Five grain sesame powder, five-grain porridge longans, taro Simi Lu, beans showers red beans, peanut powder, papaya or banana milk (unsweetened), wonton Tonga eggs, soup, pie, etc., are all good sources of heat added. 



 "Do not buy any special supplements, from dim sum to change patterns like," Furen University nutrition professor in the Department of Min-Su Tzeng, especially for the father of the design of cancer six meals ─ ─ day plus three meals snack meals, each dim sum to maintain 200 to 300 cards (240cc cup milk = 150 cards), dim sum is the father of favorite oyster noodles or dumplings add milk, the elderly happy to eat and can easily make up for heat. 



 In addition, some patients at home ready to eat a small snack or food such as biscuits, bread and so on, so that they can be uncomfortable to eat to alleviate anxiety, to add heat. 



 Chemotherapy will make people become bitter taste, patients would be more demanding tastes like food, cooking that could weight ratio of acid and sweet, will help increase the appetite. 



 An appetizer or side dishes, sweet and sour sauce, sugar lemonade ice; cooking meat first fruit or onions, ginger, garlic and other seasonings pickled, or to join together cooking, such as tomato beef, 100 Shannon papaya, ribs, etc. can allow patients to eat a few.

Can also use red wine vinegar, Toona sauce, miso, such as tune into the sweet and sour sauce or salt to increase the food flavor, nutrition and health care for breast cancer prevention and treatment Foundation lecturer well-behaved in the "cancer diet book" (the original publication of Water Culture ) mentioned. 



 Mucosal injury caused by chemotherapy, abdominal burning sensation there, it is best to avoid high-fat high-oil and tea and coffee and other non-digestible food. Low-residue leaves, melons or soft mud rotten fruit, vegetables, such as mud or yam can be absorbed without digestion of food is best for them. 



 As for the living foods diet, experts believe that the period is not suitable for chemotherapy. Is a period of chemotherapy patients with low resistance, raw fruits and vegetables is likely to result in infection, "the best choice can be skinned fruits, but also to wash hands frequently," and the letter of the Pharmacy Department of Hospital Pharmacists mentioned ginger. 



 2 is to acknowledge the source of protein and the adequacy of total calories, "if enough amount of soy intake and determine the nutritional balance, eating vitality of course, no problem,"Huang recommendations, you can find a dietitian to help you take a look at how to make up for nutrients during this period . 



 As for post-operative need special meeting Dabu? Chang Gung Memorial Hospital TCM Yang Che-hung, director of the view that Dabu not maintain enough light nutrition, boiled meat, vegetables are a good choice. 



 And fish soup, chicken soup even the best fish, chicken to eat together, you can add protein. 



 As to whether the supplementary high-protein drinks varies from person to person, it is best to let calculate the adequacy of dietitians, if nutritionally balanced, add a cup of high-protein drinks a day is enough, say nutritionists Huang. 



 Special reminders, in cancer treatment, it is best not to use high doses of vitamins, antioxidant supplements and health foods.

The study found excessive supplements may increase the cancer recurrence rate, and whether it will affect the drug effect is still unknown, so during the surgery and chemotherapy is best to avoid. 



 Some people think that more than swallowing a few vitamins, minerals and other health food products can supplement the heat, Furen University nutrition professor in the Department of Min-Su Tzeng seen many patients with "white rice with vitamins," she says with concern, vitamins, minerals no calories, nutrition is not enough "to build a house just like the lack of cement, a pile of decorations hanging outside what is the use," she referred to the real source of calories of fat, protein and carbohydrates the three major nutrients, we must encourage patients to dietary diversification, food will have enough strength. 



 If there is any worry of inadequate nutrition balance, the day a comprehensive vitamin supplement to, and preferably in the Department of Health recommended daily amount (RDA) within the relatively safe. 



 ˙ to restore the maintenance period: after treatment 



 Food responses: anti-cancer, and health-oriented restaurants, the best habit on a regular basis. This period may be appropriate selection of vitamins and other health food products, relatively safe. 



 After cancer treatment, the true health of healthy eating plan will only be the beginning. 



 "In particular, we must diversify the types of diet, you can plan a week of different colors of food intake, such as red, yellow, green, brown, white, purple, black, in order to provide for the physical integrity of sufficient nutrients," engaged in cancer treatment for more than three decades, Breast Cancer Prevention Foundation, said King-Jen Chang summarized experiences.

 ● meat to poultry, lean meat, white meat, such as deep-sea fish-based, fish can be removed skin, stomach and head, such as fat and more part of the question, can reduce the environmental pollutants. Or more beans to replace meat protein intake. 



 ● female fat limited to 50 grams a day (about 3 tablespoons oil) below. Has aimed at Taiwan to conduct research and analysis of breast cancer patients, the United States Stanford University epidemiology professor, a visiting professor at National Taiwan University Institute of Preventive Medicine found that Li Zhen, the majority of breast cancer patients with high fat intake, and the older the more light, fat intake and morbidity related and more obvious. She therefore recommends that women should limit fat intake. 



 ● staple may increase intake of beans, such as peas, red beans or green beans. 



 Zhao big nose, big ears of anti-cancer diet 

 Humorous way of the publication of cartoons had "big nose cancer diary", inspired many people's seventh grade Health Zhao M, back to work after the end of the treatment of more than a year, he was invited to an interview with excitement, and now physical illness than the former are also more good, in the past like meat, no money when the crisp salt chicken casually kill a meal, when the skin in poor condition and fell throughout the day feel gloomy. 



 Now he is eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, energy, better stamina, do not eat vitamin vibrant feel.
