Summary:
Diet is a weapon for any health issue, even leukemia. It’s important for the patient to eat healthily. However food is not a treatment, but it’s helpful in controlling and avoiding diseases. Saying that, let’s get started with our content.
To boost the healing power, the habit that leukemia patients should adopt is, eat frequently every day.
Eat less but eat frequently. Consuming a small meal every hour or so ensures that nutrients are being supplied to brace medication.
A healthy diet may minimize the side effects of treatment and boost the probability of recovery.
Leukemia patients must eat at least 5 to 6 times a day. If possible, it would be much better to provide something healthy every following hour.
So what can you provide to a person suffering from leukemia?
Get protein-rich food
Protein is a vital nutrient for the formation of cells and tissue in the body. Plus, protein aids in repairing damaged cells. So, it’s important for leukemia patients to take adequate protein for faster recovery.
Including chicken or fish in the diet plan can help in fighting cancer cells. Patients may get bored eating the same every day, try incorporating chicken and fish in the dishes. If possible, provide a variety of protein-rich food with the permission of the doctor.
Choose Whole grain over regular grain
Every food person with leukemia eats should count. Each bite must provide nutrients to the patient as far as possible.
For this reason, he or she has to eat a good percentage of whole grain. Go for whole-wheat bread, whole-grain cereal, and brown rice instead of white rice.
Whole grains are fiber-rich food that promotes digestion, healthy lipids, and healthy gut microbiota.
But for some leukemia patients, a high fiber diet can worsen nausea. So take the doctor’s suggestion before making even the smallest change in the diet.
Enough Fresh Fruits
A diet with a good ratio of fresh fruits is necessary for leukemia patients. Don’t get canned or frozen fruits. They won’t aid as much as fresh fruits.
When buying fruits, you can get blueberries, oranges, apples, pomegranates, or any preferable fruits of the patient.
They contain vitamins and minerals that may slow tumor growth, helping patients to recover.
Sufficient Vegetables
Vegetables are another great food that can support leukemia medication. Rich in numerous nutrients, vegetables should be occupying a large part of the diet.
Actually, fruits and vegetables combined can make a good portion in the diet plan.
Choose veggies which are recommended by the doctor and preferred by the patient. The one thing that you need to be careful about is, you give him or her fresh veggies.
To supply sufficient nutrients to the patient’s body, you can steam vegetables. And find ways to add more veggies to the plate.
Make vegetable soup, salad, or juice. If you know any other dish with vegetables, then you may incorporate it into the diet too.
