[약손+] Diet management for cancer patients and kidney disease patients ③ Diet for cancer patients that guardians should take care of

Now we live in an era where cancer patients can often be found around us. How should I prepare my diet in preparation for ‘cancer’, which is also a disease that can be overcome only by eating well? Also, what should be the focus of nutrition management for people with kidney disease? Let’s listen to Dongsan Hospital’s nutrition team leader Kim Jin-hee.

In the hospital, we looked at how patient meals are assembled and provided to these patients.

“You have to eat like this during cancer treatment.” Shall we organize it once again?

Ah, it is very difficult for patients to eat during cancer treatment because there are certain things that disappoint them and their families are surprised. Overall, you must eat protein food, so if it’s related to your teeth or something like that, I’d like you to prepare it so that you can eat it even if it’s a little minced. I would like to help you to eat vegetables and fruits in various colors by using colored food or something like this so that you can eat them as much as possible. Eat three meals a day regularly, but if you don’t have an appetite, you’ll be disappointed if you give good food often and it’s hard to eat more, so it’s better to eat small amounts often and only when you feel hungry. And by doing regular activities and exercise together, helping those who are lying down even a little can do limb exercises, which can be a way to increase appetite. As much as possible, I know a lot of things that are good for anticancer, but if you eat tree roots, medicinal herbs, or strawberry water, it will cause abnormalities in the liver, so it would be good to be careful about those things.

The parts I wanted to take care of now ‘How should I eat?’ In some ways, the patient’s will is important, but most of them seem to be the part that the guardians should take care of.

[계명대학교 동산의료원 김진희 영양팀장]
Guardians now prepare a lot at once when they have prepared the best food they can prepare to comfort patients and help them eat more. Then, no matter how good the patient is, eating it once and eating it again is a bit boring, so it would be better to serve it as a freshly prepared food if possible.
