Dietary considerations after colorectal cancer surgery

After the patient has undergone surgery, it is necessary to pay more attention to physical care, and the most important thing in the daily care after surgery is to pay attention to diet, because diet can not only supplement the food needed by the human body, but also regulate the patient's physical condition to a certain extent. Next, let us learn about the dietary precautions after colorectal cancer surgery!

1. Pay attention to reasonable fat intake.
For patients with colorectal cancer, fat will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, but it is impossible for the human body to completely avoid eating fatty foods. It should be noted that as long as you eat less, it will be fine. Practice has shown that a high-fat diet can lead to intestinal tumors, so people can choose low-fat foods in their daily meals. This can not only ensure energy replenishment but also prevent the deterioration of colorectal cancer.
2. Choose the right milk.
Milk is rich in many nutrients. Patients with colorectal cancer should choose suitable milk to ensure the body's intake of nutrients. Colorectal cancer patients after surgery are best to choose skimmed milk, which can not only ensure the supplement of nutrients but also avoid excessive fat intake. Moreover, many vitamins rich in milk have anti-cancer effects and can alleviate the condition of colorectal cancer patients to a certain extent.
3. Ensure the intake of dietary fiber.
Dietary fiber helps the peristalsis of the human intestine. Colorectal cancer patients after surgery can eat more vegetables rich in dietary fiber, such as celery, leeks and cabbage, which can help stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis and increase the frequency of bowel movements, using defecation to remove carcinogens and toxic substances from the body.
