Dietary principles that lung cancer patients need to follow

Lung cancer is a common cancer. As a lung cancer patient, lung cancer care is a compulsory course. Correct and comprehensive lung cancer care plays an important role in controlling the disease and postoperative recovery. The most common care methods in daily life are dietary care and daily living habits care. Let us introduce the dietary principles that must be followed in lung cancer care.

Lung cancer patients who do not have difficulty swallowing should be free to choose their food. Without affecting the treatment, they should eat more foods rich in protein and carbohydrates to improve the quality of their diet and create good conditions for surgery. If the nutritional status is poor, it is difficult to tolerate the trauma of surgery, postoperative healing is slow, and infection is easy to occur, which is not conducive to surgical recovery. When there is sufficient calorie supply for lung cancer care, protein nutrition can be supplemented to promote muscle protein synthesis. When the calorie supply is insufficient, branched-chain amino acids can also provide more heat energy. There are many types of elemental diets. When using them, start with a low concentration. If taken orally, pay attention to drinking slowly. Because elemental diets are hypertonic solutions, drinking them too quickly can easily cause diarrhea and vomiting.

If you are taking care of lung cancer after surgery, you must arrange your diet based on the recovery effect of the surgery. Because surgical trauma can cause dysfunction of the digestive system, don't rush when choosing food and taking supplements. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamin C, which is a cancer-suppressing substance that can block the formation of cancer cells. In addition, garlic also contains anti-cancer substances.

The above are the dietary principles that must be followed in the care of lung cancer. I hope that they can help lung cancer patients control their disease and recover after surgery. I wish that patients who have successfully undergone surgery can recover their health soon.
