Lung cancer poses a serious threat to our quality of life. However, with the development of modern medical technology, there are now comprehensive treatment options for lung cancer. At the same time, patients should pay attention to their diet in order to recover as soon as possible.
1. Soybean sprouts:
It is a good anti-cancer vegetable, not only because of its rich nutrients, but also because it contains a large amount of vitamin C and carotene, which have anti-cancer effects. More importantly, soybean sprouts contain an enzyme that can inhibit the synthesis of carcinogenic nitrosamines in the body. In addition, chlorophyll and fiber in bean sprouts can also prevent and treat colorectal cancer and other cancers. Cancer patients who often eat bean sprouts can improve their nutrition and control the development of the disease to some extent.
2. Black fungus:
It has a neutral nature and a sweet taste, and can nourish qi and nourish yin. Modern research has found that black fungus contains a polysaccharide that has certain anti-cancer activity. This anti-cancer effect is not to directly inhibit or destroy cancer cells, but to fight cancer by improving the body's immune system, which is the effect of "supporting righteousness and dispelling evil" in traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, black fungus is suitable for all kinds of cancer patients, especially for those with digestive system cancer and those who are weak after radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or surgery.
3. Monkey head mushroom:
Also known as Hericium erinaceus, it is a nutritious edible fungus suitable for all kinds of cancer patients, especially for patients with digestive system cancer. Monkey head mushroom not only has high nutritional value, but also contains polysaccharides and peptides that have a strong inhibitory effect on cancer cells. It can also increase the protein composition in the body, produce interferon, and enhance the anti-cancer effect. Therefore, cancer patients who often eat monkey head mushroom can increase their immunoglobulin, improve the conversion rate of lymphocytes, increase white blood cells, enhance the body's immune function, and prevent and treat cancer.
4. Winter melon:
It has a cool nature and a sweet and mild taste. It has the functions of clearing heat, detoxifying, resolving phlegm, and promoting diuresis. Recently, it has been found that winter melon can induce interferon and has certain anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects. It is a vegetable that is both medicinal and edible for cancer prevention and treatment.
5. Chinese chives:
The volatile enzyme contained in Chinese chives can activate macrophages, prevent the spread of cancer cells, and prevent cancer recurrence.
6. Tomato:
It has a slightly cold nature and a sweet and sour taste. It contains rich vitamin C and A. Since the intake of vitamin A is inversely proportional to the incidence of epithelial cell carcinoma, and a large amount of vitamin C can block the formation of nitrosamines, it can reduce the occurrence of digestive system cancer, and it is also suitable for various other cancer patients to eat.
7. Carrot:
Carrots contain rich carotene, which can be converted into vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A can maintain the normal structure and function of epithelial tissues, making it difficult for carcinogens to invade. It can also stimulate the body's immune system, mobilize the body's anti-cancer ability, and affect the metabolism of carcinogens, exerting a biological anti-cancer effect. It is especially suitable for long-term consumption by patients with skin cancer, lung cancer, bladder cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and esophageal cancer.
8. Lettuce:
Also known as Chinese lettuce. Nowadays, Japanese people love to eat it and consider it an anti-cancer vegetable because the stems and leaves of lettuce contain an aromatic hydrocarbon that can decompose carcinogenic nitrosamines in food, thereby preventing the formation of cancer cells. For cancer patients, regular consumption of lettuce can alleviate the reactions of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, to some extent control the development of cancer, and promote physical recovery.
9. Asparagus:
It is also known as dragon beard vegetable. It contains various anti-cancer nutrients, especially vitamin A and vitamin C, which are twice as much as tomatoes. It also contains abundant tissue proteins, which can effectively control the growth of cancer cells. It also contains a large amount of folate, nucleic acids, selenium, and asparagine, which have inhibitory effects on cancer cells and can prevent the spread of cancer cells.
10. Chinese yam:
It is suitable for all kinds of cancer patients and is the best food for cancer patients and those who are weak after radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or surgery. It has a sweet and neutral nature and can nourish the lungs and replenish qi, invigorate the spleen and replenish deficiency, solidify the kidneys and nourish essence, nourish the heart and calm the mind, moisturize the blood vessels, and treat various deficiencies. Modern research has found that Chinese yam contains plant proteins and 19 kinds of amino acids, as well as various trace elements such as zinc, manganese, tungsten, and chromium, with high nutritional value. Moreover, Chinese yam has the ability to induce interferon, can promote interferon production and increase the number of T cells, inhibit tumor cell proliferation, and is a good vegetable and medicine for cancer prevention and treatment.
11. Shiitake mushroom:
Also known as shiitake mushroom. American and Japanese scientists have discovered a 1.3-beta-glucosidase in shiitake mushrooms. Anti-cancer experiments have shown that after cancer patients are treated with this substance, their ability to inhibit tumors in the body is improved, and the anti-cancer effect is strengthened. Chinese medical workers have also found that the polysaccharides in shiitake mushrooms can enhance the effect of anti-tumor drugs. Although they cannot directly kill tumor cells, they can stimulate the reticuloendothelial system. Therefore, cancer patients of all kinds should eat shiitake mushrooms more, which can improve their immune function and anti-cancer ability, enhance the effectiveness of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and prevent the decrease of white blood cells caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Patients who have undergone surgery should adhere to long-term consumption of shiitake mushrooms, which is also beneficial for preventing cancer recurrence and metastasis.
