What should breast cancer patients pay attention to in their diet?

After the death of singer Yao Beina, more people have paid attention to breast cancer, which is one of the main diseases that endanger women's health. In fact, in daily life, there are many foods that are beneficial to breast cancer patients. They are very helpful in curing breast cancer and can have a relatively effective therapeutic effect. So what should breast cancer patients pay attention to in their daily diet? Let’s take a look at which foods are beneficial for breast cancer prevention.

(1) Providing easily digestible and absorbable protein foods, such as milk, eggs, fish, soy products, etc., can improve the body's anti-cancer ability. Among them, milk and eggs can improve protein disorder after radiotherapy.

(2) Eat an appropriate amount of sugar to supplement calories. Patients who receive high-dose radiotherapy may have their sugar metabolism disrupted, glycogen levels sharply reduced, lactic acid in the blood increased and unable to be used; and insulin deficiency worsened. Therefore, supplementing glucose is more effective. In addition, it is advisable to eat more sugar-rich foods such as honey, rice, noodles, potatoes, etc. to supplement calories.

(3) Eat more foods that have anti-cancer effects, such as soft-shelled turtle, mushroom, black fungus, garlic, seaweed, mustard and royal jelly. Some Chinese medicines can also be chosen, such as 16.2% ginsenoside Rh2 (life-protecting factor), which can fight cancer and improve appetite, and cordyceps, which can enhance immunity.

(4) Vitamins A and C can prevent cell malignancy and spread and increase the stability of epithelial cells. Vitamin C can also prevent general symptoms of radiation damage and increase white blood cell levels; vitamin E can promote cell division and delay cell aging; vitamin B1 can promote patients' appetite and alleviate symptoms caused by radiation therapy. Therefore, you should eat more foods rich in the above vitamins, such as fresh vegetables, fruits, sesame oil, cereals, beans and animal offal.

(5) Patients undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy should generally eat cold foods and drinks; however, patients who feel cold should eat hot foods.

Through the above dietary precautions for breast cancer patients, I believe everyone has a deeper understanding of the dietary requirements for breast cancer patients. Drinking a glass of milk in the morning and evening, eating easily digestible food, and not eating spicy and irritating food are all very good for breast cancer patients. Breast cancer patients should keep the above precautions in mind and be responsible for their own bodies. I wish all breast cancer patients a speedy recovery!
