After a long period of psychological adjustment, it takes a long time to face up to the disease, and only after the enlightenment of doctors and family members do they begin to face the disease and establish the determination to fight cancer.
Most people know that after suffering from cancer, they should pay special attention to their diet, especially not to eat too spicy, irritating, raw and cold food, and some people even dare not eat a little sweet, because everyone thinks that cancer patients eating sugar is equivalent to feeding cancer cells, is this statement true?
The reason why cancer patients should not eat sugar is because it is believed that sugar provides energy to cancer cells, and the more glucose absorbed by cancer cells, the faster they will multiply.
In fact, when the body ingests sugar, cancer cells can only absorb 5% of it, and their own immune cells can also absorb glucose to help the body produce heat so that it can function normally. So, cancer patients can eat some sugary foods to help the body replenish energy.
What do cancer patients need to pay attention to when eating sugar?
1. Eat in small amounts
Cancer patients should avoid excessive sugar consumption at one time, so as not to cause the body to produce a large amount of lactic acid after ingesting excessive sugar, which will affect the function of immune cells in the body, which is not conducive to the recovery of cancer patients.
However, not eating sugar may also lead to unbalanced nutrition in the patient's body, only a small amount of sugar intake, eating no more than 50 grams of sugar a day, can keep the body's nutrition sufficient, which is conducive to the health of the body.
2. Eat sugar in moderation during chemotherapy
During chemotherapy, cancer patients may become physically poor, during which the patient's appetite may decrease, the body will become more and more emaciated, and the physical fitness will not be maintained.
If you eat some sweets in moderation during this period to help the body replenish energy, and sweets can also help patients improve their physical fitness and disease resistance, which is conducive to the improvement of their condition.
In addition, cancer patients should pay attention to a balanced diet during the treatment of the disease, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to help the body replenish vitamins, dietary fiber and other nutrients.
It is also necessary to consume milk, eggs, fish and other foods rich in protein nutrients in moderation, so that the body's nutrition can be kept sufficient, as long as the body's energy can be maintained.
In addition, cancer patients should also pay attention to not eating fried, barbecued, and pickled foods in their diet, so as not to consume excessive amounts of oil, salt, and sugar that are not conducive to their own health, and also avoid smoking and drinking, so as not to accelerate the reproduction and metastasis of cancer cells after being stimulated, so that the body will be more damaged.
No matter what kind of cancer you have, you should actively adjust your mentality, and don't become overly negative and anxious because of cancer, which will lead to excessive mental tension, affect the quality of sleep at night, and make the body's endocrine more disordered and the condition worse.
If the patient can adjust his mentality, actively cooperate with the treatment, strengthen his own recuperation, and improve the physical condition as soon as possible, most of the cancers detected early can also achieve the effect of complete radical cure through treatment, so that the patient's body can recover to health.
