Dietary care methods after colon cancer surgery

Studies have shown that a high-fat diet can promote the occurrence of intestinal tumors, especially polyunsaturated fatty acids, which can reduce blood lipids but promote cancer. Cholesterol itself is not carcinogenic, but it reacts with cholelithiasis to promote cancer, indicating that cholelithiasis is a cancer-promoting factor. Therefore, patients with colon cancer should not eat too much fat, the total amount of fat should account for less than 30% of the total energy, and the proportion of animal and vegetable oils should be appropriate.

In a day's diet, including the amount of fat in the food itself and the oil used in cooking, the daily fat should be less than 50 grams. Some people are afraid of coronary heart disease and control animal fat very strictly. They often eat vegetable oil as the main food, or even do not eat animal oil. This will cause excessive peroxides in the body. Because the carbon chain in vegetable oil is unstable and easy to oxidize, if you eat some animal fat appropriately, the carbon chain will be stable and not easy to oxidize, and the formation of free radicals in the body will be reduced. Therefore, you must eat scientifically and pay attention to the reasonable ratio of fats and oils. It is recommended that the ratio of saturated fatty acids to polyunsaturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids be 1:1:1.

In the diet, you should pay attention to eating more vegetables rich in dietary fiber, such as celery, leeks, cabbage, radish and other green leafy vegetables. Vegetables rich in dietary fiber can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, increase the frequency of bowel movements, and remove carcinogenic and toxic substances from the feces. If colon cancer bulges into the intestinal cavity and the intestinal cavity becomes narrow, you should control the intake of dietary fiber, because excessive intake of dietary fiber can cause intestinal obstruction. At this time, you should give easily digestible, soft semi-liquid foods, such as millet porridge, thick lotus root soup, rice soup, porridge, cornmeal porridge, egg custard, tofu brain, etc. These foods can reduce the stimulation to the intestines, pass through the intestinal cavity more smoothly, and prevent the occurrence of intestinal obstruction.

Although the dietary requirements of patients with colon cancer are relatively high, they are still very easy to achieve. As long as you follow the above-mentioned methods to make the right diet, it can not only relieve the symptoms of colon cancer, but also play a certain preventive role for people who do not have colon cancer, so I hope everyone can understand it.
