Dietary taboos for colon cancer

Many parts of the body are prone to cancer, and the intestine is one of them. Compared with other cancers, the cause of colorectal cancer is still unclear, but the clinical manifestations show that people over 50 years old, those with a history of colorectal polyps, and those with a family history are more likely to develop colorectal cancer than ordinary people. Therefore, these people need to pay more attention than ordinary people. So, is there anything that patients with colorectal cancer need to pay attention to in their diet? Actually, there is.

1. Take vitamin E appropriately, such as eating walnuts, peanuts, dairy products, seafood, etc. Taking too much vitamin E may be harmful, so take it as appropriate.

2. Eat more foods rich in dietary fiber: konjac, soybeans and their products, fresh vegetables and fruits, algae, etc.

3. The intake of vegetable oil is limited to about 20 to 30 grams (about 2 to 3 tablespoons) per person per day.
