Cancer Fighting - Nutritional absorption can not be ignored
Clinically, people with general cancer will develop malnutrition, and up to 80% of patients with advanced cancer will suffer from malnutrition. Even 20% of cancer patients die of malnutrition, not from the disease itself. Among them, the malnutrition phenomenon is more obvious because of the increasing demand of body nutrition, reduction of eating, acceptance of various anti-cancer treatments, infection reduction and other complications caused by decreased immunity.
In the treatment (including electrotherapy and chemotherapy), in addition to the purpose of treatment, but also will damage the body's normal cells, so patients during treatment, but also need to get enough nutrition, indicating cell repair. If the cancer patients can maintain their weight, their chance of success in controlling their condition will be improved.
A medical study pointed out that if the patient malnutrition, normal cells can not fight ill cells, will accelerate the abnormal cell division of cancer, aggravating the condition. Therefore recommended that patients eat more nutritious foods such as meat, seafood, dairy products, soy products, nuts and seeds.
The American Cancer Society (ACS) notes that cancer patients who eat well, are nutritionally adequate, have a good mood, maintain their body weight, are more likely to suffer from the side effects of treatment, reduce the risk of infection, speed up wound healing and promote recovery during treatment .
Nutritional myth?
Can not eat too much, so easy to grow cancer cells?
Many will mislead the so-called "hunger cure", believing that they should not eat too much so as to avoid easy growth of cancer cells; or to switch to organic eating or vegetarian diet after they have suffered from cancer. However, the body cells need adequate nutrients to normal metabolism, if fasting or fasting, body malnutrition or inadequate intake of weight loss, physical deterioration, body cells will be affected, not functioning, but more susceptible to cancer cells Attacks can even affect the condition's deterioration.
The American Cancer Society emphasizes that a diversified and balanced diet is the best nutrition principle; even "eat more", protein intake should be 50% more than before illness and 20% more calories.
In fact, fighting cancer, different stages of each dietary policy, as long as the principle of being able to eat, happy and healthy.
Diet principle
It is best for your body to have adequate nutrition absorption to improve your condition, especially before you are ready for treatment. The diet differs at different stages, but the following dietary principles are recommended:
- Increase Energy
- Increase the protein Absorption
- Maintain a balanced diet
Nutritional Absorption
Calories: In order to prevent overweight and to deal with increased metabolism, adequate heat must be provided while undernourished people need about 3,000 to 4,000 calories daily to maintain their needs.
Proteins: Amino acids that are essential for tissue regeneration, healing, and rebuilding can take good, high-protein foods such as fish, beans, eggs and milk.
Vitamins and Minerals: Vitamins A (eg carrots) and vitamin C (eg dark green vegetables) are structurally important substances to ensure the efficient use of protein and heat; vitamins E (eg crabs, nuts, Seed) for the protection of cell integrity.
Omega-3 fatty acids
Medical clinical studies have shown that it can help enhance the resistance of cancer patients as well as the effectiveness of immune nodules and anti-inflammatory drugs. It helps to suppress muscle loss and improve appetite, helping patients to finish the treatment on time and increase the therapeutic effect. Patients may be rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon, sardines, nuts, seeds absorb the relevant nutrients.
Moisture: Assist the kidneys to eliminate the body of cancer cells after the destruction of products and drugs, about 2 to 3 liters daily.
Avoid eating raw or uncooked food
Cancer patients who receive chemotherapy and electrotherapy, can reduce the number of white blood cells. White blood cells are mainly used to resist diseases and foreign objects, if too little can increase the chance of fine infection in patients.
Leukocytosis patients should pay attention to:
Food and beverages must be thoroughly cooked before consumption
- Avoid raw or uncooked foods such as oysters, raw fish, smoked salmon, salads, uncooked eggs and meat, ginger onions, hot spring eggs, etc.
- Eat thick skin and not damaged fruit, such as bananas, oranges, honeydew and so on
- Wash hands frequently, especially with soap before and after going to the toilet
- Keep your hands clean with alcohol hand sanitizer
- Pay attention to the shelf life of food
- Pay attention to food and personal hygiene to reduce the chance of infection
Cancer is a consumptive disease, both the cancer itself or the impact of treatment, will cause great wear and tear of the body tissues, plus a variety of side effects will affect the patient's nutritional status. However, these situations are not inevitable. If we can learn more about different solutions before and during treatment, we can avoid malnutrition and increase the anti-cancer effects.
