Are tofu and mutton the 'fat' of tumors? wrong! Don’t want cancer cells to deteriorate, eat 4 kinds of food less
65-year-old Zhang is a patient with advanced colon cancer. The cancer cells had already metastasized to the liver when he was diagnosed. In less than a month, Lao Zhang's weight dropped from 60 kg to 40 kg, and he was skinny.
After Lao Zhang was diagnosed with cancer, he heard that colon cancer was caused by eating, so he was very concerned about his diet. He didn’t eat pork and beef. Chicken, eggs, and seafood were also considered hair products . Eating them would aggravate his condition. fruit.
As a result, Lao Zhang suffered from severe malnutrition , and the treatment effect was not obvious. In the end, the cancer deteriorated and he died of illness.
As the saying goes, when you are sick, you should avoid eating, especially some foods are hair products and cannot be touched . Some people regard it as a standard, but some people question it. So, what is a hair thing? Can cancer patients really not eat it?
1. What is the concept of "fawu"?
In fact, there is no clear concept of Fawu, and most of them come from the folks and are related to the traditional Chinese food taboo culture.
For example, after some people eat a certain food, the wound will become red, swollen and festered. This kind of food is called hair, and mutton, fish and shrimp are more common.
Later, hair food was gradually defined as hot food, which would cause dry mouth, red eyes, swollen gums, constipation, etc. after eating.
Nowadays, the concept of hair has become more extensive, and foods that are likely to induce certain old diseases or aggravate existing diseases are considered hair .
For example, hot food, such as mutton, ginger, leek, etc., should not be eaten by people with oral ulcers and swollen gums;
People who are afraid of cold and have cold hands and feet are not suitable to eat food with cold accumulation, such as persimmon, watermelon, cold drinks, etc.;
Things that cause wind, such as eggs, shrimps, crabs, etc., may aggravate the symptoms of itching;
Things that produce phlegm and dampness, such as pork, glutinous rice, etc., should be avoided by people with damp heat and phlegm in the body;
In this way, it seems that everything is hair. Does the hair have a scientific basis? From the perspective of life experience, it is true that symptoms will be aggravated after eating certain foods, but it is difficult to explain this systematically.
However, from the perspective of modern medicine and nutrition , hair mainly refers to the following foods:
1. Spicy and spicy food
Alcohol, chili, ginger and garlic and other spicy and irritating foods can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort after eating, and also expand the capillaries of the skin to speed up blood flow.
2. Foods high in purine
Animal offal, soy products, seafood and other high-purine foods, for gout patients, will increase the uric acid level after eating and aggravate the condition.
3. High-cholesterol foods
High-cholesterol foods such as butter, egg yolks, and animal offal are not good for the recovery of the disease for those who have hypercholesterolemia and liver disease.
4. Foods that are prone to allergies
Eggs, milk, peanuts, wheat, sesame and other foods that are prone to allergies, for people with allergies, can easily lead to allergic attacks after eating, causing allergic symptoms such as skin rash, mouth numbness, and asthma.
In addition, high-histamine foods such as spinach, Spanish mackerel, and tuna may also induce symptoms similar to allergies.
2. Are mutton and tofu the hair of cancer cells?
Some people say that mutton and tofu are hair products, which will accelerate the disease or recurrence of cancer patients and are not conducive to wound healing. Is this true?
In daily life, people with weak gastrointestinal tract or allergic constitution may indeed cause physical discomfort after eating mutton. Eating mutton alone does not mean that mutton is hairy, which is not conducive to wound healing.
Mutton is rich in protein, iron, calcium and other nutrients, which is rich in nutrients and can provide energy for patients . However, mutton is relatively high in fat and purine content, so it is not suitable for people with indigestion and purine metabolism disorders to eat more.
Others say that mutton belongs to red meat, and red meat is a 2A carcinogen, so you should not eat mutton. In fact, the level of carcinogens is not equal to the intensity of carcinogenicity. Class 2A carcinogens refer to carcinogens that have been proven to have a clear carcinogenic effect in animal experiments, but their effects on the human body are not yet clear.
What's more, cancer is the result of the joint action of many factors, in addition to diet, it is also related to genetics, living environment and other factors. Red meat such as mutton is rich in nutrients, rich in iron, zinc and vitamins B1, B2, A and D, which are very beneficial to human health. As long as you pay attention to a balanced diet, proper consumption of red meat has many health benefits, so you don't have to give up eating because of choking.
Tofu is an important source of plant-based protein in the diet, easy to digest and absorb, will it affect wound healing?
On the contrary, the protein, fat, calcium, iron and other nutrients contained in tofu can also help the healing of external wounds. The phytoestrogens contained in tofu, that is, soy isoflavones, have little effect on human estrogen and will not affect wound healing.
Especially tumor patients, don't be frightened by "hair".
First of all, food does not stimulate tumors, let alone "starve" cancer cells. The ability of cancer cells to obtain nutrients is beyond imagination. Even if the intake of nutrients is reduced, cancer cells will still take away most of them, causing normal cells to be unable to absorb nutrients. In the end, cancer cells have not been "starved to death", and the body's organs and tissue function has been impaired.
Secondly, blind taboos can easily cause malnutrition and increase the difficulty of treatment.
Under the torture of cancer cells and the side effects of treatment, cancer patients have poor appetite and poor nutrition. If you do not supplement nutrition due to blind taboos, you will be prone to malnutrition, which may lead to treatment intolerance, affect the treatment effect, prolong the treatment time, and reduce the quality of life.
Therefore, cancer patients, don't be confused by "hair" . Only with a balanced diet and balanced nutrition can we fight cancer better!
3. These 4 foods may accelerate the growth of cancer cells
In fact, these kinds of foods are the "culprits" that accelerate the growth of cancer cells:
1. Moldy food
Do not eat moldy food, especially peanuts, walnuts, corn, soybeans, etc. After moldy, it is easy to produce a type of carcinogen aflatoxin, which is difficult to eliminate even if washed with water and high-temperature cooking, and is closely related to the occurrence of liver cancer and other cancers. Therefore, moldy food should be thrown away.
2. Wine
Studies have shown that drinking alcohol is associated with a variety of cancers, including oral cancer, throat cancer, esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer and more. So it is best not to drink alcohol, even if you want to drink alcohol, you must limit it, no more than 250ml of beer, 100ml of red wine or 25ml of white wine per day. In addition, do not drink on an empty stomach, eat some staple food or vegetables to pad your stomach before drinking, so as to reduce the stimulation of alcohol on the stomach and delay the absorption of alcohol.
3. Pickled food
Chinese-style salted fish, bacon, sausage and other pickled foods belong to the first class of carcinogens. Taking Chinese-style salted fish as an example, a large amount of salt needs to be added during the production process. The salt will react with the protein in the fish to form nitrite. After entering the body, nitrite will be converted into nitrosamine under the action of stomach acid, which is highly carcinogenic.
4. Barbecue and fried food
Carcinogens such as heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are likely to be produced during the cooking process of grilled and fried foods, which are not good for health.
Therefore, what really affects the recovery of the disease is not the hair, but the wrong diet concept. Only by developing healthy eating habits and avoiding blind taboos can the recovery of the disease be accelerated. Only scientific treatment and recuperation is beneficial to health.
