Dietary considerations after colon cancer surgery

Colon cancer is fundamentally a malignant tumor. Whether surgery is performed or not, it will cause great harm to the patient's body and mind. Therefore, more attention should be paid to diet in life. As the saying goes, "food supplements are worse than medicine supplements." What we eat and drink will have an impact on the body's functions. We give a variety of suggestions here.

Dietary precautions for patients with colon cancer.

1. You should pay attention to eating more vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber, such as spinach, rapeseed, cabbage, celery, leek, radish and other green leafy vegetables, as well as fruits, to keep the bowels open and reduce the contact time between carcinogens in the feces and the colon mucosa.

2. When colon cancer bulges into the intestinal cavity and the intestinal cavity becomes narrower, the intake of dietary fiber should be controlled. At this time, easily digestible, soft semi-liquid food should be given, such as millet porridge, thick lotus root powder soup, rice soup, porridge, cornmeal porridge, egg custard, tofu brain, etc.

3. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

4. Reduce the intake of fat and animal protein in food. This can reduce the production of carcinogens and carcinogenic effects of their decomposition products, thereby reducing the potential risk of colon cancer.

5. Avoid eating raw, cold, spicy and other irritating foods.

6. Avoid smoking and drinking.

What should colon cancer patients eat and what kind of eating method should they choose? We hope that patients can make certain plans for their diet. Only by making strict demands on every detail in daily life can they be responsible for their own health. The suggestions we give are relative to most people. Only when patients make strict demands on themselves can they avoid lifelong regrets.
