The best foods for Cancer Patients

The best foods for Cancer Patients
March 13, 2018Guest PostDietGuest postLifestyleUncategorizedbest foods for cancerslimnhappy

No one wants any of their family members to suffer from cancer or to listen to a doctor who diagnoses this disease. However, when this happens, all that is left is to face it, and an adequate diet is an important ally to overcome it. According to a research, the best way to overcome cancer is to take nutritious foods, which will help patients to overcome the disease.

Proper nutritional support aims to improve tolerance to treatments and achieve a better quality of life. For having a good healthy life, one should eat and drink the foods which contain nutrients helpful for your body.

However, in some cases, many patients face some side effects of cancer and its treatments which makes it challenging to ingest adequate food. Avoid eating an insufficient amount of proteins or calories as this is the most common nutritional problem faced by many of cancer patients. Proteins and calories are essential for healing, fighting infection and providing energy. Here are some foods which will help you and your friends, relatives or family members to fight cancer.

Fruits and vegetables:

For a healthy diet, fruits and vegetables play an important, since they are a good source of Vitamins A, C and E (the nutrients) and fibres. According to some studies, vegetables can affect the reduction of cancers of the mouth, pharynx, oesophagus, lung, stomach, colon and rectum. Similarly, vegetables probably reduce cancer of the larynx, pancreas, breast, and bladder.
The consumption of fruits, on the other hand, is associated with a decrease in the risk of cancer of the mouth, pharynx, oesophagus, lung, stomach, and breast.
It is recommended to incorporate into the diet a large number of vegetables and fruits of different colours to have a greater variety of nutrients and vitamins.

Meats

Eating large amounts of red meat increases the risk of bowel cancer and possibly gastric cancer. Red meats include beef, pork, and lamb. Processed meats with more risk include ham, bacon, salami, and sausages.

The consumption of white meat such as chicken and fish apparently has not shown an increase in cancer risk. Eat the small amount of red meat as much as you, and to cook it at low temperature.

It is thought that excessively roasted meat acquires potentially carcinogenic compounds from both the fuel used (coal) and the meat’s proteins subjected to high temperatures. The important thing is not to consume charred roasts.

Fibre


Fibre decreases the risk of colon and rectal cancer by up to 25%. This includes fruits and vegetables, whole grains, bread and brown rice and dark raisins, among others. It is suggested to increase fibre by choosing whole foods when possible.

Many fruits and vegetables are high in fibre, such as peas, spinach, apples, avocado, pears, and berries. Other vegetables and fruits that contain moderate amounts of fibre are Brussels, corn, green beans, broccoli, carrots, and orange.

Fats

Fats are necessary and fundamental in our diet, but diets rich in fats can increase the risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases, among others.

Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are beneficial, associated with”good cholesterol,” while saturated fats and trans fats are the fats associated with “bad cholesterol”.  Vegetable meals are richer in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, while meats are rich in saturated fats.

There is evidence that eating too much saturated fat may increase the risk of breast cancer. It is suggested to lower the intake of fatty foods, reduce or eliminate the meats rich in fat, fried foods, butter, and cheeses. It is recommended to choose degreased meats and skim milk.

Green tea


Some studies showed that green tea reduces the risk of breast cancer, prostate, mouth, stomach, and intestine cancers. Green tea has natural substances called catechins, having 3 to 10 times more concentrated than in black tea.

According to laboratory research, these catechins can block the growth of cancer and help you maintain your health, through the prevention of cellular DNA damage. By sweeping the radicals it stops the growth of germs which can be caused by chemicals. Besides, more studies will confirm the search in future.

For cancer patients, nutrition plays a vital role in their lives. Eating nutritional food before and after the treatment will keep you healthy and active.
