Two basic principles of diet for patients with colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer is a common tumor disease, which brings great harm to the patient's health and seriously affects normal life. More attention should be paid to the diet of colorectal cancer patients in order to best restore the patient's health.

Let’s take a look at the basic dietary principles for colon cancer.

Principle 1: Eat a light diet.

Patients often have symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, and even vomiting, so they should eat a light diet and avoid greasy food. Avoid eating chili peppers, which are very irritating to the intestines and anus, and have a great stimulating effect on cancer. Some people who like spicy food should gradually reduce the spiciness of their diet, and eventually avoid chili peppers, even if they cannot give up spicy food immediately. At the same time, pepper, coffee, alcohol, high-fat and crude fiber-rich foods should also be avoided.

Principle 2: Eat food that is easy to digest and absorb.

Patients with colorectal cancer often have symptoms such as recurrent, persistent diarrhea and abdominal discomfort, and have weak digestive abilities, so they should be given an easily digestible diet.

In summary, the diet of colorectal cancer patients should follow the above two basic principles in order to play a good auxiliary therapeutic role in treatment, help patients resume normal life to the greatest extent, and achieve the effect of cure.
