Potassium supplementation in cancer patients in summer

In summer, people with cancer often experience symptoms such as dizziness, headache, poor appetite, and lack of energy. Many patients are afraid that this is due to severe cancer. In fact, we are ignorant of the hypokalemia caused by summer cancer. The patient has a high chance of developing hypokalemia. Xiaobian describes how you can make up for it from food.

From time to time, cancer patients may experience symptoms of weakness in their hands and feet, dizzy breathing, difficulty in movement and other symptoms. Some pessimistic patients think that their cancer condition has begun to become severe. In fact, this may also be caused by the symptoms of hypokalemia caused by neglect.

Cancer patients have large daily tumor burdens and consume large amounts of nutrients. If dysphagia, vomiting, diarrhea, or surgery or chemotherapy are involved, hypokalemia can result. Hypokalemia is manifested as muscle weakness and spasm. Generally starting from the lower extremities, manifested as activity difficulties, standing instability, with the increase of hypokalemia can be more serious muscle weakness, trunk, upper limb muscle strength is also significantly reduced. When respiratory muscles are affected, respiratory failure can occur. The weakness of the supple sperm muscle is manifested as intestinal paralysis and paralysis of intestinal obstructive muscle weakness at the same time often accompanied by limb numbness, muscle tenderness and hand, foot and ringworm.

In addition, tumor patients should pay special attention, because hot days people sweat more, a lot of sweat can take away a lot of potassium, will cause excessive loss of potassium in the body, causing hypokalemia, causing fatigue, dizziness headache Poor appetite, lack of appetite and other symptoms, including the most obvious manifestations of the lower limbs, will appear unstable, weak or difficult to climb the stairs. Many people think that after a lot of sweating, they should drink plenty of boiled water, sugar water, or drinking salt water immediately to add water. In fact, this is wrong, it is easy to increase the burden on the heart, so that the balance of potassium and sodium in the body. Excessively sweating tumor patients who want to add water can drink fruit juice or sugar brine to prevent excessive reduction of blood potassium.

Therefore, friends with tumors should not think that tumors are usually treated well and their diets are well controlled. They inadvertently invade the “hypokalemia” monster; but do not be alarmed. “Hypoglycemia” monsters are attacking. There is food correspondence. In fact, potassium can be taken from your daily diet. Here are some foods that contain more potassium:

1. Grain: Higher potassium-containing elements such as buckwheat, corn, sweet potato and soybean.

2. Fruit: The potassium content of bananas is the highest. Fruits such as coconut, orange and mango are rich in potassium. You can often put some bananas in the living room, which is simple and potassium, but also prevent constipation. If people with diabetes also have to pay attention to the high sugar content of fruits, they should not eat too much.

3. Vegetables: The contents of potassium in spinach, leeks, coriander, rape, cabbage, celery, green onions, garlic, lettuce, potatoes, yams, fresh peas, soybeans, etc. are higher.

4. Seaweeds: 1640 mg of potassium per 100 g of seaweed is 175 times that of sodium; 22 times of sodium in seaweed is potassium, therefore seaweed soup, seaweed steamed fish, seaweed meatballs, seaweed salad, kelp stew Meat, etc. are the best for summer potassium dishes.

In addition, the most effective way to prevent shortage of potassium on hot days is tonic, and the potassium content in tea is particularly large, accounting for about 1.5%. Drinking more tea on hot days can not only relieve heat but also make up potassium.

In addition, some functional beverages, sports drinks such as orange juice, orange fruit, grape juice, etc., as well as dried fruits contain high potassium, which can be selected according to actual needs in daily life. Recent studies have found that foods high in potassium have a cardiovascular protective effect. Eating foods high in potassium can also reduce the need for antihypertensive drugs in hypertensive patients. Proper consumption of high-potassium foods in daily life can make people more energetic.

Blood System

Blood System:
Blood system is also called circulatory system.
For the treatment of diseases of the circulatory system:
According to the American Heart Association, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Because of its vastness and critical nature, it is one of the systems of the body most prone to disease.

One of the most common diseases of the circulatory system is arteriosclerosis, in which the fatty deposits in the arteries causes the walls to stiffen and thicken the walls. According to the Mayo Clinic, the causes are a buildup of fat, cholesterol and other material in the artery walls. This can restrict blood flow or in severe cases stop it all together, resulting in a heart attack or stroke.

Stroke involves blockage of the blood vessels to the brain and is another major condition of the circulatory system, according to Mitchell Weinberg of the North Shore-LIJ Health System. [Risk factors include smoking, diabetes and high cholesterol," he noted.

Another circulatory disease, hypertension - commonly called high blood pressure - causes the heart to work harder and can lead to such complications as a heart attack, a stroke, or kidney failure, the NLM noted.

An aortic aneurysm occurs when the aorta is damaged and starts to bulge or eventually tear, which can cause severe internal bleeding. This weakness can be present at birth or the result of atherosclerosis, obesity, high blood pressure or a combination of these conditions, according to Weinberg.

Peripheral arterial disease (also known as PAD) typically involves areas of narrowing or blockage within an artery, according to Jay Radhakrishnan, an interventional radiologist in Houston, Texas. In addition, chronic venous insufficiency (also known as CVI) involves areas reflux (or backward flow) within the superficial veins of the lower extremities.

PAD is diagnosed with noninvasive testing including ultrasound, CT scan, and/or MRI. Ultrasound is the least expensive of these methods, but also gives the least amount of detail, as CT and MRI show a much higher degree of anatomic detail when identifying areas of narrowing/blockage within an artery. CVI is diagnosed with ultrasound as the venous reflux can be measured accurately by ultrasound, which ultimately guides treatment.
