What Can Cancer Patients Eat To Improve Immunity? Pay Attention To These 4 Items!

If the immunity of tumor patients cannot be improved all the time, they will lose their resistance to carcinogens and cancer cells in and out of the body, which may lead to cancer recurrence and metastasis. So what can cancer patients eat to improve their immunity?

What can cancer patients eat to boost immunity? We have summarized the following 4 methods, hoping to help you.

1. Appropriate use of immunomodulatory drugs

Immunomodulatory drugs can not only regulate the immunity of cancer patients but also effectively improve the effect of treatment, which indirectly accelerates the process and quality of recovery, so as to achieve the purpose of successful recovery. At present, common immune-regulating drugs include imported original research thymus method, new day, and so on.

Ridaxian thymus method is a widely used immunomodulatory drug in clinical practice. It is mainly used in tumor treatment, infectious diseases, chronic hepatitis B, and other fields. It can improve the immune function of patients, improve the quality of life of patients, and improve the remission rate and survival rate. . Patients should purchase and choose medicines under the guidance of professional doctors according to their own treatment needs.

2. Reasonable diet

Cancer patients should maintain a balanced diet, and the dietary structure can refer to the "Balanced Diet Pagoda for Chinese Residents". Eat more grains (coarse and thick) and fruits and vegetables (at least five fruits and vegetables per day). If you have difficulty swallowing, you can squeeze fruits and vegetables to eat; moderate intake of animal-derived foods, such as poultry meat, aquatic products and eggs, of which white meat (such as poultry and fish) is preferred; moderate intake of dairy products and soy nuts.

Many cancer patients have doubts about eating soy products. In fact, eating soy products is not only safe, but also the soy isoflavones rich in soy products have a certain preventive effect on cancer recurrence. In terms of cooking methods, frying, frying and roasting should be used as little as possible. Cooking at too high temperature will produce certain carcinogens. Sugar itself does not increase the risk of tumor progression, but excessive intake of sugar (including honey, white sugar, syrup, etc., as well as sugar contained in beverages) can increase overall caloric intake and weight gain, which can affect cancer prognosis. Therefore, the intake of sugar needs to be moderate.

3. Pay attention to dietary hygiene

Paying attention to food safety is very important for cancer patients, especially during radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Some treatments will have an immunosuppressive effect, making the patient's body's immunity worse and more vulnerable to pathogens. Therefore, we must pay attention to food hygiene, avoid infection, and prevent the intake of food with pathogenic bacteria.

Patients and families need to follow these guidelines:

1. Wash hands thoroughly with soap before meals;

2. Wash your hands when handling food, keep it clean and hygienic, wash vegetables and fruits before eating;

3. Separate raw and cooked meat products, and clean tableware and kitchen utensils that have come into contact with raw meat;

4. Meat and seafood must be cooked thoroughly, and beverages (milk and juice) must be pasteurized;

5. Food should be stored at low temperature (below 4 degree ) to prevent bacterial growth;

6. When dining in restaurants, do not choose foods that may be rich in bacteria such as sushi and half-cooked fish, meat, poultry, and eggs;

7. Do not drink raw water, drink boiled water.

4. Quit smoking and drinking

Tobacco is the most important cause of cancer in the world. Tobacco contains more than 60 kinds of carcinogens. Smokers with liver cancer must quit smoking as soon as possible. Not just first-hand smoke, but second-hand smoke. Even if the smoker does not smoke in front of the patient, the smoke produced by the burning of tobacco adheres to clothing, walls, and furniture, which will cause health hazards to others. Therefore, for the health of patients, it is necessary for the whole family and society to create a smoke-free environment. Although "smoking cessation and limiting alcohol consumption" is advocated for the prevention of general chronic non-communicable diseases, because alcohol is a risk factor for cancer, even a small amount or occasional alcohol consumption may increase the risk of cancer, so liver cancer patients are advised to avoid drinking alcohol as much as possible.

In addition to the above, it is recommended that cancer patients have a tumor re-examination every three months in the first three years after surgery, every six months in the fourth to fifth years, and every year after the fifth year. The content of the review will vary according to the patient's condition and the hospital's testing equipment.

At present, there is no clinical signal that can reliably predict recurrence and metastasis in the early stage, so tumor patients must always be prepared, do the above nine things, and strive to eliminate cancer lesions from the root cause, so as to achieve "early detection, early diagnosis, early treatment".
