Can I eat bird's nest during cancer chemotherapy?

Generally speaking, cancer patients can consume bird's nest during chemotherapy, although excessive consumption is not recommended. Detailed explanations are as follows:

Chemotherapy may cause certain damage to the body, leading to reduced immunity and physical weakness. Bird's nest contains abundant water-soluble proteins, multiple amino acids, and minerals. These nutrients can provide energy and help strengthen immunity. Bird's nest is mild in nature and does not irritate the gastrointestinal tract. Patients undergoing chemotherapy often experience reduced appetite and weakened digestion; consuming moderate amounts of bird's nest is easy to digest and absorb, without burdening the gastrointestinal system. From the perspective of nourishment, bird's nest has the effect of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, which can alleviate discomforts such as dry mouth and throat or body heat caused by chemotherapy, providing gentle nourishment to help maintain bodily functions during treatment.

Bird's nest should be purchased from reputable sources to ensure quality and safety. Each serving should not be excessive, and it is better to take small amounts frequently. If any abnormal reactions occur during chemotherapy, consumption should be stopped immediately and the physician should be informed promptly.
