Leukemia is a malignant clonal disease of hematopoietic stem cells. It can cause different degrees of anemia and bleeding symptoms. Therefore, it is particularly important in the daily diet. Eat more foods rich in vitamins and iron in your diet. In addition, it is also necessary to supplement with sufficient amounts of protein to maintain the body's needs. For patients who are prone to bleeding, we should pay attention to avoid eating hard, indigestible foods.
We all know that leukemia is an incurable disease, and it is more common in children and adolescents. The causes of the disease are also very complex. The disease is greatly affected by genetic and environmental factors, such as long-term exposure to radiation or toxic substances. The main symptoms that appear are anemia, bleeding, secondary infections, etc. So, what is good for leukemia patients to eat on a daily basis? Making delicious and nutritious food for these patients will surely make them happy. Here are some recommendations for food and three recipes.
First, eat more vitamin-rich foods. Foreign medical studies have shown that eating more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C can enhance the body's resistance, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling and treating cancer. Vitamin-rich foods include kiwifruit, tomatoes, lemons, cherries, broccoli and more. Vitamin A can stimulate the body's immune system, mobilize the body's enthusiasm for anti-cancer, and resist the invasion of viruses. Foods rich in vitamin A include carrots, pumpkins, egg yolks, etc.
Second, eat less and eat more meals, food should be easy to digest. When patients undergo chemotherapy, a series of digestive tract symptoms appear, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. At this time, it is necessary to reduce the amount of food eaten at one time to avoid causing discomfort. You can usually eat high-energy, nutritious foods, such as chocolate, bread, pastries and so on.
Third, the consumption of protein in leukemia patients is much higher than that of normal people, and only by supplementing with sufficient and high-quality protein can the function of various tissues and organs be maintained. Plant-based proteins and legume proteins, such as tofu, tofu brain, soy milk, etc. Animal protein is mostly found in meat and fish.
Fourth, eat more iron-rich foods, because one of the main manifestations of leukemia is anemia. Iron-rich foods include dates, brown sugar, egg yolks, black beans, black fungus and so on.
Here are three recipes.
