Dietary considerations for prostate cancer patients

Prostate cancer patients can play a good auxiliary treatment role by doing a good job of self-care in life, among which the most important is dietary health care. If patients can actively play the health care effect of a reasonable diet, the treatment work can achieve twice the result with half the effort. So what should prostate cancer patients pay attention to in their diet? Let's take a look at the detailed introduction below.

Calcium supplementation

Patients must control the amount of calcium they absorb at ordinary times. Any mistake will lead to adverse consequences. You should know that inhaling more than 2000 mg of calcium per day can increase the risk of prostate cancer by three times. However, for bone health and prevention of osteoporosis, an appropriate amount of calcium is necessary every day. It is recommended to inhale 1000~1200 mg of calcium per day. Usually, prostate cancer patients will have complications of bone diseases and need to supplement calcium in an appropriate amount.

Optimized nutrient intake

Doing this can have a great therapeutic effect on patients, so prostate cancer patients should pay attention to adopting this dietary principle. Food contains many ingredients, some of which can prevent prostate cancer, such as antioxidants, carotenoids and isoflavones. Reduce the intake of fat and saturated fat. Fruits and vegetables also contain very small amounts of fat. Most of the fat in the diet comes from additional oils, such as margarine, salads, and oil soups. Meat, milk and dairy products also provide a considerable amount of fat. These are all things that patients need to eat in moderation.

Milk is rich in nutrients and has many benefits for the body. It is one of the indispensable drinks in life. However, according to a recent study, men who consume more than 2.5 servings of dairy products per day (each serving is equivalent to 240 ml of milk) have a 34% increased risk of prostate cancer. Although milk is a high-quality food, for the sake of prostate health, men are better off not drinking it as water.

The above content introduces what prostate cancer patients should pay attention to in their diet. I believe that everyone should now have some understanding of the diet of prostate cancer patients. It is very important to do the above dietary health care in daily life, which can help prostate cancer patients achieve the best treatment effect. Therefore, we all need to pay attention to assisting patients to maintain healthy prostate cancer dietary habits, improve the patient's physical fitness, and increase the chance of recovery.
