"Lao Zhang, you have just been discharged from the hospital, you have to be careful of 'hair things', eating mutton may cause the tumor to recur. Aunt Zhang said worriedly.
Lao Zhang wanted to satisfy his hunger, but Aunt Zhang reminded him that Lao Yang next door was an exception, and physical recovery was the key.
We often hear about "hair matter", but what is it? Does it really cause tumor recurrence?
There are rumors that eggs and lamb are the "hair of tumors".
There are many folk rumors about the relationship between food and disease, and the concept of "hair matter" is particularly interesting. In particular, eggs and lamb, which are often seen as "hair products", are rumored to promote the growth or recurrence of tumors.
As an important source of daily nutrition, eggs are rich in protein and nutrients, which are of great help in recovering the body. However, in some rumors, eggs are seen as a food that may "trigger" tumor growth. Similarly, lamb is also considered a "hot" food that has the potential to "fuel" tumors.
But are these rumors really credible? Do scientific studies support these claims? In fact, so far, there is no conclusive scientific evidence that eggs or lamb directly cause tumors to grow or recur. Tumor formation and development is a complex process involving a variety of factors that cannot be simply attributed to a certain food.
Therefore, we should be cautious about the rumor that "eggs and mutton are the 'hair products' of tumors", and do not blindly believe it, let alone affect our normal diet and life. When facing serious diseases such as tumors, the most important thing is to follow the doctor's advice, eat reasonably, and maintain good lifestyle habits and mentality.
It is these 4 foods that accelerate the growth of tumor cells
Diet is an aspect that cannot be ignored on the road to fighting cancer. Although foods cannot directly cause tumors, certain foods may provide an environment conducive to the growth of tumor cells. Here are four foods that are thought to accelerate the growth of tumor cells:
High-sugar foods: High-sugar diets are not only associated with a variety of health problems such as obesity and diabetes, but may also promote the proliferation of tumor cells by providing a lot of energy. Cancer cells are better able to use sugar for anaerobic metabolism than normal cells, so high sugar intake may indirectly contribute to tumor growth.
Processed meats: Processed meats such as sausages, ham, bacon, etc., contain high levels of salt, nitrates, and other additives that may produce harmful substances during digestion that are not good for health, and long-term high intake may be associated with an increased risk of certain cancers.
Fried and grilled foods: These foods can produce carcinogens such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic amines during high-temperature cooking. Long-term intake of these foods containing potential carcinogens can cause adverse health effects, especially for people who are already at risk of cancer.
Alcohol: Alcohol intake has been linked to a variety of cancer types, including oral cancer, laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, and more. Alcohol acts as a solvent to help carcinogens enter cell membranes and affect the body's absorption and utilization of nutrients.
Although there is a correlation between these foods and the growth of tumor cells, eating these foods does not necessarily mean that you will get cancer. Tumor formation is a complex process that involves a variety of factors such as genetics, environment, and lifestyle. Therefore, maintaining a balanced diet, moderate exercise, and regular check-ups are key to preventing cancer. For people who are already ill, it is more important to follow the doctor's advice and arrange a reasonable diet to support treatment and recovery.
Healthy eating for cancer patients
For cancer patients, a healthy diet is not only key to maintaining good health, but also provides the necessary nutritional support during treatment to help the body better cope with the side effects of treatment. Here are some suggestions to help people with cancer build healthy eating habits:
1. Maintain a balanced diet
People with cancer should eat a variety of foods to ensure they are getting a complete diet. Vegetables, fruits, whole grains, high-quality protein (e.g., fish, lean meats, legumes), healthy fats (e.g., olive oil, nuts), and moderate amounts of dairy products should all be part of the daily diet.
2. Increase antioxidant foods
Consuming foods rich in antioxidants, such as dark vegetables (spinach, beetroot, etc.) and fruits (blueberries, strawberries, etc.), can help the body fight oxidative stress and reduce cell damage during treatment.
3. Hydrate
Maintaining adequate fluid intake is especially important for cancer patients, especially when undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Water can help flush out metabolic waste and drug residues from the body.
4. Pay attention to food safety
Cancer patients may have a weakened immune system, so special attention should be paid to the way food is cleaned and cooked to avoid ingesting bacteria or parasites that can lead to infection.
5. Personalized dietary adjustments
Depending on the patient's specific situation and treatment plan, individualized dietary modifications may be required. For example, certain treatments may cause oral or digestive discomfort, so foods that are easier to digest and swallow need to be chosen.
6. Avoid harmful foods and drinks
Foods and beverages that can be harmful to the body such as processed meats, high-sugar foods, fried and grilled foods, and alcohol should be minimized or avoided.
In conclusion, a healthy diet is an important part of the recovery process for cancer patients. By working closely with the medical team to develop a personalized diet plan, patients can better cope with the challenges of treatment and accelerate the recovery process.
