What foods should not be eaten by patients with esophageal cancer

Many patients know that it is necessary to have a good understanding of the diet for esophageal cancer. However, faced with numerous diet options for esophageal cancer, patients are very confused. They don’t know how to choose a diet for esophageal cancer and what to pay special attention to in the diet for esophageal cancer. Many patients don’t understand. So what foods are not suitable for esophageal cancer? Regarding this issue, let’s take a comprehensive look at it below.

(1) Do not eat spicy food. To prevent esophageal cancer, you should avoid eating spicy food. Do not use spicy seasonings when cooking, such as chili peppers, ginger, pepper, raw onions, raw garlic, etc. Spicy food can easily cause blood heat to run wild. Some cancer patients cannot control their condition because they usually eat spicy food.

(2) Do not drink alcohol. To prevent esophageal cancer, you must also pay attention not to drink alcohol. In traditional Chinese medicine, alcohol has always been marked as poisonous and is not recommended for drinking. Especially high-concentration alcohol can cause chronic damage to the mouth, esophagus, and stomach. Alcohol of any concentration can cause blood heat, especially drinking medicinal wine, which is more likely to cause blood heat. Therefore, to prevent esophageal cancer, you must pay attention not to drink alcohol.

(3) Do not eat foods high in iodine. To prevent esophageal cancer, you must also avoid eating foods high in iodine. Experts point out that if cancer patients eat seafood, such as crabs, shrimps, scaleless fish, kelp, etc., including iodized foods and iodized salt, the tumor will rupture. Experts remind us that iodine is widely present in seawater and has always been taboo for bleeding diseases and cancer.

(4) Do not eat aphrodisiac foods. To prevent esophageal cancer, you should also avoid eating aphrodisiac foods, such as mutton, dog meat, goose meat, pigeons, sparrows, etc. Experts say that many animals contain hormones that can cause poisoning to humans, so you need to pay attention.

(5) Do not eat hot food. Experts say that hot food should also be avoided for esophageal cancer. Hot dumplings, high-concentration alcohol, garlic, etc., can cause chronic damage to the mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, etc. The local anesthetic effect of alcohol on the esophagus will make the eater lose the pain of esophageal burns. Therefore, be careful not to eat hot food or drink hot water.

There are things to pay attention to in the diet of esophageal cancer that every patient must do. When facing their own esophageal cancer, patients must focus on diet. They should eat more foods that are beneficial to esophageal cancer, enhance their own resistance, and avoid further deterioration of esophageal cancer, which threatens the patient's health.
