What should terminal cancer patients eat

summary

Malignant tumor is what people call cancer. It is the general name of more than 100 related diseases. When the cells in the body mutate, it will continue to divide, out of the control of the body, and eventually form cancer. All the organs in people's body are made up of cells. Cell growth and differentiation can meet the needs of the body, and this orderly process can keep people healthy. However, if cells continue to divide, these extra large numbers of cells form tumors. Next, let's talk about what to eat for terminal cancer patients?

What should terminal cancer patients eat

First, the supply of easily digestible protein foods, such as milk, eggs, fish, bean products, can improve the body's anti-cancer ability. Milk and eggs can improve the protein disorder after radiotherapy.

Second, eat an appropriate amount of sugar to supplement calories. High dose radiotherapy can destroy the glucose metabolism in patients, decrease the glycogen, increase the lactic acid in blood, and aggravate the insufficiencies of insulin. Therefore, the effect of supplementing glucose is better. In addition, honey, rice, noodles, potatoes and other foods rich in sugar should be eaten more to supplement calories. Eat more anticancer food, such as turtle, mushroom, black fungus, garlic, seaweed, mustard and royal jelly.

Third, vitamin A and C can prevent the malignant transformation and proliferation of cells and increase the stability of epithelial cells. Vitamin C can also prevent the general symptoms of radiation injury and increase the level of white blood cells. Vitamin E can promote cell division and delay cell aging. Vitamin B1 can promote the appetite of patients and reduce the symptoms caused by radiotherapy. Therefore, we should eat more foods rich in the above vitamins, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, sesame oil, Cereals, beans and animal viscera.
