What to eat after breast cancer chemotherapy to recover faster

Chemotherapy is an effective treatment for any cancer, especially for some patients in the early stages of cancer, as it can control the spread of cancer cells. Breast cancer patients will only choose surgical removal of the breast when the condition is serious. If the condition can be controlled, chemotherapy can be chosen. So, what should you eat to recover faster after chemotherapy for breast cancer?

The female breast is composed of skin, fibrous tissue, mammary glands and fat. Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the mammary gland epithelial tissue. 99% of breast cancers occur in women and only 1% in men.

The breast is not an important organ for maintaining human life activities, and in situ breast cancer is not fatal; but because breast cancer cells have lost the characteristics of normal cells, the connections between cells are loose and easy to fall off. Once cancer cells break off, the free cancer cells can spread throughout the body through the blood or lymph, causing metastasis and endangering life. Currently, breast cancer has become a common tumor that threatens women's physical and mental health.

The cause of breast cancer is not fully understood, so there is no definite way to prevent it. Based on epidemiological surveys and analysis, breast cancer prevention can consider the following aspects:

1. Establish a good lifestyle, adjust your life rhythm, and keep a good mood.

2. Adhere to physical exercise, actively participate in social activities, avoid and reduce mental and psychological stress factors, and maintain a calm mind.

3. Develop good eating habits. Pay attention to balanced nutrition during infancy and promote breastfeeding; reduce excessive intake of high-protein and low-fiber foods during childhood development; do not consume large amounts of fat and animal protein during adolescence, and strengthen physical exercise; control total calorie intake after menopause to avoid obesity. Develop the habit of not consuming excessive meat, fried eggs, butter, cheese, sweets, etc., eat less pickled, smoked, fried and grilled foods, and increase the intake of fresh vegetables, fruits, vitamins, carotene, olive oil, fish, bean products, etc.

4. Actively treat breast diseases.

5. Do not use exogenous estrogen indiscriminately.

6. Do not drink excessively for a long time.
