First of all, the history of cancer .. There is no word "malignant tumor" in traditional medicine, but the ancients of Shang Dynasty in ancient China knew about tumor and named it "tumor", and in the earliest medical work of China, the classification and record of tumor were made, and the causes of tumor were mentioned. It was not until the Song Dynasty that Che Xuan (A.D.11) first used the word "cancer" in Bao Shu, Wei Ji. However, these discussions and descriptions of symptoms seem to be more inclined to swelling or gangrene, which is not completely consistent with "malignant tumor". Until 150 years later, Yang Shiying in the Ming Dynasty clearly pointed out in his book Ren Qizhi's Recipe: "Cancer patients, such as acupoints, are tired and drooping ... men are mostly in the abdomen, and women are mostly in the breasts." The description of this symptom is similar to that of malignant tumor in modern medicine.

Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with the deepening of Chinese medicine's understanding of tumors, there have been more and more discussions on the etiology, pathology, differentiation and treatment of tumors. So we can see that there are many names for the same cancer in traditional medical books, and the same name may include malignant tumor and non-malignant tumor. According to the above, and compared with modern vision and medical common sense, we can find that Chinese medicine treated cancer more than 3000 years earlier than western medicine.

Second, why is dietotherapy the most powerful weapon against cancer? Many cancers can be cured, and correct adjustment from diet and psychology is beneficial to the rehabilitation of patients.

Li Shizhen lived in the Ming Dynasty, and of course he had never seen all kinds of cancers of modern people, let alone radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, no matter what kind of disease you encounter, the most fundamental means is to strengthen the foundation and strengthen the foundation, which is emphasized by Chinese medicine, and Li Shizhen also emphasized this point.

Proper use of diet therapy can not only provide necessary nutrition for the body, but also inhibit the growth of cancer cells and bring hope to life. Medical research has proved that a reasonable diet can improve the nutritional status of patients, make them better receive surgery or radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and prolong their lives until they recover.

1。 Diet is subject to the preferences of patients. As the saying goes, "food is delicious, but palatable is expensive."

Chinese medicine believes that the stomach is supplemented by joy. So don't limit your diet too much.

This is also taboo and can't be eaten. It will make patients feel at a loss, lose appetite, affect nutrient intake, and is not good for rehabilitation. However, some basic taboo principles of diet should be followed, such as edema with less salt and diabetes with less sugar.

2。 Cancer patients who eat regularly and quantitatively, eat less and eat more meals generally have poor appetite. Attention should be paid to increasing food patterns to ensure that they are full of color, smell and taste, which is conducive to improving appetite.

Regular quantitative, eat less and eat more, food is easy to digest, which is conducive to the recovery of gastrointestinal function. Some patients have abnormal taste and poor appetite. They can eat a small amount of fermented bean curd, hot sauce and the like to enhance their appetite, and they can also take some traditional Chinese medicines and digestive AIDS that strengthen the spleen and stomach properly.

3。 A high-protein and low-fat diet should pay attention to increasing the intake of high-quality protein, such as chicken, fish, eggs, milk, lean meat and bean products.

The diversity of species in protein can fully play a complementary role and improve the nutritional value. 4。

Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Many fresh fruits and vegetables are not only rich in vitamins, cellulose and trace elements, but also have certain anti-cancer effects. For example, carrots, cabbages, green peppers, spinach, parsley, cauliflower, leeks, asparagus, mushrooms, fragrant chains, tremella, auricularia, oranges, grapes, tomatoes, sea cucumbers, lavers, sprouts, coix seed, hawthorn, apples, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, figs, peaches, pineapples, honey and so on.
