Do cancer patients need more nutrition?

If I have a tumor, do I need to increase nutrition? This is one of the biggest concerns for cancer patients and their families

Life is inseparable from nutrition

Nutrition is the most basic substance needed to maintain normal functions such as growth, development, immunity, and metabolism of our human body

The value of the rice noodles, oil, eggs, meat, vegetables, fruits, etc.

The closer the types and contents of nutrients provided by food are to the needs of the human body, the higher the nutritional value of the food and the more “nutritious” it is

According to the survey, 45% of tumor occurrences are related to nutritional factors.

Therefore, if we want to prevent cancer, we must pay attention to lifestyle, nutrition, and improve nutritional value in our daily life

It is unrealistic to "starve" tumors to death

Is it necessary to strengthen nutrition for patients who have been diagnosed with cancer? Some people worry that eating too well and supplementing too much nutrition will promote tumor growth, thereby deliberately reducing nutrient intake, and some people even hope to "starve" the tumor to death by starvation

In fact, this is a very wrong approach

Without adequate nutritional support, normal cells, tissues, and organs will be damaged first, making it difficult to perform their normal physiological functions, while tumor cells will still rob normal cells of nutrients, resulting in the "starvation" of only the patient himself, not the patient.

Regular nutritional assessment is essential

The energy metabolism of cancer patients is 10% higher than that of the normal population, and the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids are abnormal, and they are prone to abnormal blood sugar, protein reduction, hyperlipidemia, and trace element reduction.

　　At the same time, malnourished people are also more likely to develop tumors.

　　During the recovery period of tumor patients, the intake of various nutrients should be higher than that of the general population, especially the animal protein content

　　Surgery patients should be low-fat, high-protein, high-vitamin and mineral-based, eat more high-quality protein-rich fish, chicken, eggs, milk, soy products, fresh vegetables and fruits

　　In fact, the nutrition of tumor patients is a subject with strict scientific basis and strict operating procedures
