What nutrition does breast cancer eat during chemotherapy

summary

My sister-in-law went to the hospital some time ago and was diagnosed with breast cancer. Recently, she wanted to go to the hospital to see her, but she didn't know what to eat and what to eat, so I wanted to ask what to eat during breast cancer chemotherapy and what to eat would help her recover.

What nutrition does breast cancer eat during chemotherapy

(1) Nutrition should be sufficient. Breast cancer patients are generally weak. During chemotherapy, they should appropriately increase the intake of protein and sugar, and eat less high-fat and high cholesterol foods. In particular, they should ensure the intake of protein, and eat more lean pork, beef, chicken or fish. They should avoid fried foods, eat less pickled foods, and strictly prohibit the consumption of pungent condiments. We should pay attention to the variety of food, the combination of meat and vegetables, the balance of acid and alkali, and the color, aroma and taste of food. Anorexia patients can eat some hawthorn, radish, kumquat and other stomach food, increase the patient's appetite. 　　

(2) Eat more food rich in anti-cancer ingredients, research shows that the following types of food on breast cancer patients have a certain role in prevention and treatment. (1) cabbage, Chinese cabbage and cabbage contain indole-3-methyl alcohol, which can prevent carcinogens from inducing tumor cells and inhibit tumor growth. Garlic and onion contain allicin, which can block the synthesis of nitrosamine. At the same time, they contain vitamin C, vitamin A and other components, which can play an anti-cancer role. Bean products such as bean curd, soybean milk and soybean sprouts are rich in phytoestrogens, which can competitively inhibit the effect of estrogen in vivo and play an anti-cancer effect.

(3) Eat some fresh fruits properly. Fresh fruits such as watermelon, kiwi, apricot, apple, pear and strawberry are rich in vitamin C, vitamin B and other vitamins, which have a certain anti-cancer effect. Jujube not only contains hawthorn acid and other anti-cancer ingredients, but also has therapeutic effect on chemotherapy-induced leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. Therefore, patients with breast cancer can often eat jujube during chemotherapy.

matters needing attention

Chemotherapy can often cause nausea, vomiting and other gastrointestinal reactions, so it is necessary to reasonably arrange diet during chemotherapy. On the day of chemotherapy, the diet should be light and delicious; intravenous chemotherapy should be carried out in the abdomen, so we should eat 3 hours before chemotherapy, at this time, the food has been basically digested and emptied, and we should eat later after chemotherapy to reduce the symptoms of nausea and vomiting. When taking chemotherapy drugs orally, it is better to take it half an hour after meal. When the blood concentration reaches the peak, it is already in a state of fasting, and the digestive tract reaction will be lighter. Ginger tablets can be put in the mouth when vomiting during chemotherapy, which is helpful for anti vomiting.
