Drinking yogurt after colon cancer surgery can speed up recovery

Colon cancer is a malignant tumor that troubles many people. Nowadays, there are more and more patients with colon cancer, and many people have lost their lives due to the disease, so we cannot ignore the severity of the disease. After surgical treatment of colon cancer, patients can drink yogurt appropriately to speed up recovery.

After colorectal cancer surgery, some patients often feel poor appetite or bloating and other gastrointestinal discomfort. Drinking yogurt after surgery can relieve the above discomfort. Because after colorectal cancer surgery, the balance of beneficial intestinal flora is broken, and drinking yogurt in moderation can help the intestinal flora return to normal.

Yogurt contains a large amount of lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria, which can timely "reinforce" the number of beneficial bacteria in the intestines. In addition, lactic acid bacteria can decompose the lactose in milk to form lactic acid, making the intestines tend to be acidic, inhibiting the reproduction of spoilage bacteria, and removing obstacles for the intestinal absorption of nutrients. At the same time, the bifidobacteria in yogurt will produce acetic acid, lactic acid, etc. during the fermentation process. These ingredients can effectively inhibit nitrate-reducing bacteria and block the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines, which has an anti-cancer effect.

For patients with colorectal cancer who have a poor appetite after surgery, the sour and sweet taste can stimulate the taste buds and increase appetite. In addition, yogurt also contains high-quality protein. Drinking some yogurt can not only replenish beneficial bacteria, but also supplement nutrition. It should be noted that it is best for patients to drink yogurt after meals, because cancer patients have weak spleen and stomach. If there is food as a base, the spleen and stomach will not be too stimulated, so that the yogurt can play a better role.

Colon cancer is not an easily cured disease. As a colon cancer patient, you must pay attention to the treatment of the disease. Although colon cancer is a malignant tumor, it is not an incurable disease. With the development of medical technology, there are more and more ways to treat the disease. Patients should have confidence.
