How should tumor patients supplement nutrition?

1. 1, full nutrition formula food

Refers to the formula food for special medical use that can be used as a single nutrient source to meet the nutritional needs of the target population. When patients can't eat ordinary meals, they can completely replace food and be used alone for a long time, which can not only ensure that patients will not be short of nutrition, but also promote health, improve immunity and help patients recover from diseases.

1.2, total nutrition formula food for specific disease types

This is a full-nutrition formula food prepared for the special needs of diseases for certain nutrients. Such as: diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease, tumor and other diseases, as well as children's milk allergy formula.

1.3, non-nutritive formula food for special medical use

2. What nutrition should cancer patients supplement?

Protein helps to repair body tissues and keep the immune system healthy. Without enough protein, the body needs longer time to overcome diseases and fight infection. Cancer patients often need to consume more protein than ordinary people. Good food sources in protein include lean meat, fish, chicken, dairy products, nuts, dried beans, peas, lentils and bean products.

Carbohydrates and fats provide most of the calories needed by the human body. How much calories each person needs depends on age, weight and amount of exercise. Sources of carbohydrates include fruits, vegetables, bread, noodles, cereal and oat products, dried beans, peas and lentils. Fat sources include butter, oil, nuts, seeds and animal fats in meat, fish, chickens and ducks.

Vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients for body recovery. People who eat a balanced diet can usually get enough vitamins and minerals, but it is difficult to achieve a balanced diet during cancer treatment. If you can't eat a balanced diet during the treatment, the doctor or dietitian may suggest that you take a pill containing multiple vitamins and minerals every day. Many people also take vitamins and herbs themselves.

3. How can cancer patients increase their appetite?

Change recipes and cooking methods: A new food can stimulate appetite. For example, patients who often eat pork can eat fish, shrimp, crab, chicken and so on. They can eat some soft-shelled turtles and soft-shelled turtles if possible. Changing cooking methods to make food have different colors and tastes can also increase appetite. However, no matter what kind of food it is, it must be cooked to a ripe degree in order to be digested and absorbed smoothly.

Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits with high vitamin content: These foods can not only increase resistance, but also increase appetite. Some patients think that cold food should be avoided, but fruits and vegetables should be treated as appropriate. You can eat vegetable juice and a small amount of digestible fruit early after operation, not too much at a time, and a small amount of meals. After the gastrointestinal function is basically restored, you can eat some light and refreshing cold dishes and fruits, which have obvious appetizing effect.

Exchange of dietary experience between patients: The exchange of dietary experience between patients can not only learn from each other's strong points, but also help to stimulate appetite, which is very necessary for cancer patients.
