What are the dietary principles that patients with rectal cancer should follow

As a digestive system tumor, the prevention and treatment of rectal cancer are inseparable from dietary habits. Both rectal cancer patients and healthy readers need to develop good dietary habits to effectively protect intestinal health. Let's take a look at the dietary habits that rectal cancer patients need to pay attention to.

The fat in the diet can promote the growth of cancer cells and can also cause normal cells to mutate early and evolve into tumors. Whether it is animal fat or vegetable fat, it should be reduced as much as possible. Excessive fat, especially animal fat, can stimulate the secretion of bile acid in the small intestine. When the amount of bile acid in the intestine is too high, it is easy to become a carcinogen and promote the growth of cancer cells. It can be seen that a high-fat diet is closely related to the occurrence of rectal cancer.

The main function of fiber in food is to make the intestines move normally, increase the volume of stool, and reduce the time that stool stays in the rectum. The stool in the colon will make bacteria active and may produce carcinogens. When there is a lack of fiber in the diet, the stool in the colon will become dry and hard. In addition, the passage speed is slow and the abdominal wall muscles become weak, which prolongs the emptying time. If the time is too long, the chance of colon cancer will increase relatively. Many studies have confirmed that fiber in food can dilute the carcinogenic substances in fats and oils, and can also accelerate the speed at which carcinogens are excreted from the body through the digestive system.

The above are the dietary principles that rectal cancer patients must pay attention to in their daily lives. I hope that patients can get rid of the troubles of rectal cancer as soon as possible with a positive attitude and correct treatment and care in their daily lives.
