Nutritional support for cancer patients: reasonable protein supplementation

Original title: Nutritional support for cancer patients: reasonable protein supplementation

The purpose of nutritional support treatment for cancer patients is to meet the nutritional needs of patients and improve their nutritional status; the second is to enhance the patient's immunity, improve the patient's tolerance to surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, reduce the risk of recurrence, and improve the clinical outcome of patients , improve the quality of life

The purpose of nutritional support therapy for cancer patients The purpose of nutritional support therapy for cancer patients is to meet the nutritional needs of patients and improve their nutritional status; Tolerance, reduce the risk of recurrence, improve the clinical outcomes of patients, and improve the quality of life

1.

The maintenance of immunity depends on the combined action of a variety of nutrients, of which protein plays a central role

It can be said that protein is the material basis of life and the material basis for maintaining immunity

2.

Numerous metabolic studies have shown that for tumor patients, increasing protein intake can enhance the anabolism of muscle protein, improve tolerance to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and promote postoperative wound healing

The American Academy of Medicine recommends that the dietary protein intake of cancer patients to provide energy accounts for 10-35% of the daily energy intake, and the total amount should not be less than 1.

While satisfying the amount of protein intake, the quality of protein should also be taken into account

3.

Three, common mistakes three, common mistakes three, common mistakes

At present, there are still various "misunderstandings" about the diet of cancer patients, which cause great trouble to cancer patients and seriously affect the intake of high-quality protein and the overall dietary balance of cancer patients

Myth 1.

The so-called "fat food" is a traditional folk saying that certain foods (seafood, chicken, duck, goose, beef and mutton, etc.

Myth 2.

The so-called "milk carcinogenicity" stems from the results of animal experiments reported abroad, that is, feeding rats with a large amount of casein feed can enhance the carcinogenic effect of aflatoxin on rats

Myth 3.
Don't eat or eat less, starve tumor cells Myth 3.
Don't eat or eat less, starve tumor cells Myth 3.
Don't eat or eat less, starve tumor cells to death

There is a saying circulating on the Internet that cancer patients eat too much, which will promote the growth of tumor cells, while eating less or not eating can starve cancer cells

In fact, various studies at home and abroad have not found that nutritional support can promote the growth of tumor cells
.
Without nutritional supplementation, tumor cells will rob normal cells of nutrients, break down human muscle tissue, and finally starve the patient rather than the tumor
