Cancer as well as cancer treatments (radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery ...) all affect the supply and nutritional metabolism of patients. Nutrition plays an important role in prolonging life and improving the quality of life for cancer patients. Up to 50 - 80% of cancer patients lose weight and 20% of cancer patients die from severe malnutrition. Therefore, cancer patients need early nutrition care and actively to compensate for weight loss, maintain health and receive better treatment interventions.

1. Nutrition principles
  • Provide enough energy, protein and other nutrients
  • Eat small portions but divide them into several meals a day
  • Increase the level of energy and nutrition according to the condition of the patient
  • Frequent changes of dishes
  • Encourage, encourage and create an optimistic atmosphere for people who are sick during meals
2. The advice of a dietitian
  • Eat less but be nutritious, rich in energy and rich in protein. Add more nutritious products (nutritious milk)
  • Control the amount of food that patients eat
  • Drink water before or after a 30-minute meal. Avoid drinking water while eating as this may reduce appetite
  • Do not eat sugary foods, soft drinks, high fat foods
  • You can drink 1 small glass of wine or 1/2 cup of beer before each 30 minute meal to stimulate appetite
Regularly change the processing and color of food
  • Avoid smelling food while processing
  • Between dental hygiene, mouth. Do not use mouth cleaning solution. Do not hit / shave the tongue
  • It is necessary to encourage patients to eat well, to see that eating is to enjoy rather than to "struggle" with food
  • Eat whenever the sick person needs but must ensure adequate intake and nutrients
  • Always let patients see food around them to stimulate cravings
  • If you can't eat normal food, switch to a small, soft, puree (porridge, soup ...) diet.
  • When an ill person cannot eat or has a regular diet that does not guarantee adequate nutrition, there must be alternative feeding or nurturing methods.
In addition, cancer patients should refer to Japanese algae, which is a very good substance to prevent the growth of cancer cells. Patients can refer to the famous Japanese algae Fucoidan studied for 30 years by Japanese doctor Daisuke Tachikawa.​

Patients should pay attention to the correct diet. Diet determines a lot about the treatment process and the ability to recover.
