Diet care for rectal cancer in summer

In addition to scientific treatment, rectal cancer patients need to recover. The emphasis of dietary care for rectal cancer is different in different seasons. Due to weather reasons, it is more difficult for rectal cancer patients to eat in summer, but we also need to pay more attention to dietary care for rectal cancer. The following is an introduction to dietary care for rectal cancer in summer. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

1. Supplement water, sodium chloride, potassium and magnesium in summer. Excessive sweating in summer can easily make people lose more. Therefore, cancer patients should pay more attention to the balance of water and electrolytes in summer. They should drink more than 1500 ml of water every day and drink more green tea, warm salt water and fruit juice. For patients with tumors in the bladder, kidney, stomach and other areas, body fluid supplementation should be balanced and supplemented as needed; increase the intake of salt by 12 grams per day; drink more green tea, light salt water and fruit juice; choose foods rich in magnesium, such as tofu. In addition, cancer patients are very likely to suffer from hypokalemia in summer, so they should also pay special attention to the supplement of potassium.
2. Pay attention to increasing your diet in summer. The temperature is high in summer, the body's basal metabolism speeds up, and the consumption of nutrients increases. Especially for cancer patients who have undergone surgery or radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the treatment leads to a decrease in food intake and insufficient nutrient intake. Therefore, you should pay attention to supplementing protein, trace elements and various vitamins, and never reduce your diet due to the strong side effects after treatment.
