Can patients with advanced liver cancer eat soft-shelled turtle? Why?

Soft-shelled turtle is a common animal in our daily life and is also a food ingredient often used to nourish the body. Patients with advanced liver cancer are generally weak and can eat soft-shelled turtles to help replenish their bodies with nutrients. The nutrients contained in soft-shelled turtle are relatively rich.

1. Soft-shelled turtle is rich in protein, fat, iron, calcium, gelatin, keratin and various vitamins. It is a high-protein, low-fat tonic, especially suitable for people with weak body, liver and kidney yin deficiency, and malnutrition. Most liver cancer patients are more prone to malnutrition and dietary imbalance in the later stages. Eating soft-shelled turtle is a better diet for liver cancer.

2. Liver cancer patients often cannot effectively and reasonably utilize the nutrients they consume due to liver dysfunction, so they often suffer from hypoproteinemia. Therefore, liver cancer patients should eat some protein-rich foods appropriately. Soft-shelled turtles are rich in high-quality protein, so liver cancer patients can eat soft-shelled turtles.

3. Liver cancer patients need to recover as quickly as possible after surgery, and protein can accelerate the regeneration and repair of liver cells. Therefore, liver cancer patients, especially after liver cancer surgery, need protein-rich foods such as soft-shelled turtles.

4. In addition to effectively preventing liver cancer, soft-shelled turtle meat and its extracts can also effectively inhibit the growth of cancer cells, so liver cancer patients can eat soft-shelled turtles.

5. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, soft-shelled turtle has the medicinal effects of clearing away heat and nourishing yin, calming the liver and extinguishing wind, softening and dispersing nodules. It has a certain therapeutic auxiliary effect on hepatosplenomegaly caused by cirrhosis and liver cancer.
