On this special occasion, no matter where they are, people go out of their way to return to their hometowns and spend the festive season with their friends and family. In this sea of joy, there are some people who are experiencing the pain of cancer, and their families are shrouded in shadows, like a cold snap. For these families, how to eat the reunion dinner of the Spring Festival has become a huge difficulty.
What should I pay attention to when eating with cancer patients during the Chinese New Year?
Create a warm and harmonious dining atmosphere. Avoid mentioning medical and medical topics so as not to touch the patient's sensitive points. On the contrary, some light-hearted and enjoyable topics, such as travel, movies, sports, etc., can be selected to divert attention and reduce the psychological burden of the patient.
During the meal, it is also important to pay attention to the patient's physical condition. If the patient becomes unwell during eating, he or she should be asked and adjusted in time to adjust the texture or amount of food. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the patient's emotional changes, and if the patient is found to be depressed or anxious, comfort and encouragement should be provided in time to make them feel warm and caring.
Be respectful of the patient's personal space and privacy. During the meal, avoid overly caring or disturbing the patient so that they can enjoy the meal in a comfortable environment. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the needs and wishes of patients, and if there are special requirements or taboos, adjustments should be made in time to reflect the careful care for patients.
The choice of food is also crucial. Cancer patients need to pay special attention to a balanced and digestible diet. First and foremost, irritating foods and seasonings should be avoided as these foods may aggravate the patient's condition or cause discomfort. Secondly, you should try to choose foods that are easy to digest and nutrient-rich, such as fish, vegetables, fruits, etc., to ensure that the patient can fully absorb the nutrients. In addition, the cooking method should also be as simple as possible and avoid being too greasy or spicy, so as not to burden the patient. At the same time, it should also be matched according to the patient's taste and preference to ensure that the taste and nutritional value of the food can meet the patient's needs.
During the Chinese New Year, cancer patients should eat and drink, keeping in mind the four-character principle:
1.Appropriate: Eat a moderate diet, don't increase nutrition because of festivity, happiness, overeating, and not just for a light diet only vegetarian, not fishy. The correct way is to eat both meat and vegetables, but pay attention to the cooking method, try to avoid frying, barbecue, steaming, stewing, etc., but also less oil, less salt, less sugar, not too heavy.
2.Frequency: Eat small and frequent meals, don't eat a lot at once, and don't eat only one meal a day, the right thing to do is to eat small and frequent meals. Most cancer patients do not have a good appetite during the ** period, and they want to vomit when they see food, or they are full after a few bites. At this time, eat less at a time, and only eat seven points full, eat again when hungry, eat many times, eat 4-5 meals a day, which can not only ensure the intake of nutrients but also relieve gastrointestinal discomfort.
3.Warm: Eat warm food, not raw or cold food. For example, fruits and other foods are good for the body, but it is not recommended to eat them raw, you can soak the food in hot water, slightly warm, and the entrance is not hot, which can be digested and absorbed without stimulating the stomach. In addition, raw and cold foods such as sashimi and sashimi should not be eaten as much as possible.
4.Nourishment: Pay attention to nutrition, don't be picky eaters. The diet should be varied and conducive to balanced nutrition. Daily food includes meat, protein, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, etc., in order to supplement protein, vitamins, trace elements and other essential nutrients for the human body.
Diet for cancer patients is a key concern for all families. For cancer patients, diet is not only about nutrition and health, but also directly affects the control of the disease. Family members need to develop a scientific and reasonable diet plan for the patient, pay attention to balanced nutrition, avoid irritating foods and drinks, and make personalized adjustments according to the condition. Through a reasonable diet arrangement, it can help patients better control their condition, promote **, and improve their quality of life.
