What should you not eat if you have breast cancer? Pay attention to your diet

Breast tumors are generally benign, and only breast cancer is a malignant tumor. In many cases, breast tumors do not have any obvious symptoms. The most common symptom is a breast lump. Once discovered, it can be treated surgically, and you should pay more attention to your diet after surgery.

1. Eat a diversified diet and have a balanced nutrition. A balanced diet is the best way for cancer patients to maintain a normal weight after surgery. The diet should be balanced and diversified, without any partiality or taboos, and with a combination of meat and vegetables, and coarse and fine foods. When cooking, use steaming, boiling and stewing more often, and try to eat less fried food.

2. Breast cancer patients should avoid eating raw onions and garlic, sow meat, pumpkin, alcohol, spicy and warm, fried, greasy, and meaty foods after surgery.

Heavy, stale, moldy and other foods that increase fire and produce phlegm and hinder the functioning of the spleen.

3. After adenocarcinoma surgery, patients can be given products that nourish qi and blood, regulate qi and disperse nodules to consolidate the therapeutic effect and facilitate recovery. Such as yam powder, spinach, loofah, kelp, hawthorn, rose and cordyceps sinensis.

4. During radiotherapy after adenocarcinoma surgery , it is easy to damage the yin body fluid, so it is advisable to take sweet, cool and moisturizing foods. Such as almond cream, loquat, white pear, black plum, lotus root, banana, olive and so on.

5. Meal to stimulate appetite and strengthen the spleen: ① Hawthorn diced meat: 100g hawthorn, 1000g lean pork (or beef), 250g vegetable oil, and appropriate amounts of mushrooms, ginger, onions, pepper, cooking wine, MSG, and sugar. First cut the lean meat into slices, fry it in oil, then add hawthorn seasoning and cook until dry, then it is ready to eat. It can stimulate appetite and fight cancer. ② Astragalus and Chinese Yam Soup: Use 30g of Astragalus, add water and boil for half an hour, remove the residue, add 60g of Huaishan tablets (Huaishan should be soaked in salt water before eating), boil for another 30 minutes, add sugar (add honey for constipation) and it is ready. Take once daily in the morning and evening. It has the effects of invigorating qi and promoting blood circulation, increasing appetite, and improving gastrointestinal absorption function.

6. Eat foods that have anti-cancer effects , such as soft-shelled turtle, mushroom, black fungus, garlic, seaweed, mustard, royal jelly and cordyceps. Studies have found that the cordycepin contained in Cordyceps sinensis can effectively phagocytize tumor cells, which is four times more effective than selenium. It can also enhance the ability of red blood cells to adhere to tumor cells, and can prevent tumor recurrence and metastasis during tumor chemotherapy and after tumor surgery. Recipe: Choose Fulinmen Cordyceps sinensis with a high content of natural cordycepin, crush it and take it, 1.5 grams each time, twice a day. Most patients can achieve good therapeutic effects after taking it for one month.

7. Eat fresh vegetables and fruits that are high in vitamins : These foods can not only increase resistance, but also increase appetite. Some patients believe that they should avoid eating raw and cold foods, but fruits and vegetables should be treated according to the situation. Eating some light and refreshing raw cold dishes and fruits, especially during chemotherapy and radiotherapy, has a significant appetite-stimulating effect. However, if you have a bland mouth and clear saliva, you should heat them slightly and then drink them warm. At the same time, you should not eat too much.
