What should you pay attention to in your diet for advanced liver cancer

There are many kinds of cancer in life, and we all know that cancer is very harmful. If it is found that the treatment is improper, it is easy to affect the patient's life safety. However, many cancer patients find that they are sick during a physical examination, but at this time the condition has often developed to the late stage. For patients with advanced liver cancer, attention should be paid to treatment and daily adjustment and health care. So, what should patients with advanced liver cancer pay attention to in their daily diet?

1. Pay attention to controlling protein intake: high-protein, high-fat foods will affect and aggravate the patient's condition, while low-fat foods can relieve the patient's nausea, bloating, vomiting and other symptoms. Therefore, liver cancer patients should pay attention to fat intake.

2. Vitamin supplementation: Multiple vitamins have auxiliary anti-tumor effects, such as vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, etc. Vitamin C is mainly found in fresh fruits and vegetables, and vitamin A is mainly converted into the human body by carotene. It is recommended that liver cancer patients eat more animal liver, carrots and various fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, such as pumpkin, apple, kiwi, black plum, asparagus, bamboo shoots, etc. in the late stage.

3. Balanced diet: Patients with advanced liver cancer consume a lot of energy and must ensure adequate nutritional supplements. The simplest way to measure the nutritional status of patients is to maintain their weight. The best way to maintain a normal weight level is to maintain a balanced diet. If you want to do this, patients should eat more fresh vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables.

Here we will first introduce the dietary precautions for advanced liver cancer. Finally, we would like to remind everyone that since liver cancer patients usually have a relatively poor appetite and eat relatively small amounts in the advanced stage, if they do not have a balanced diet, it is best to increase the calories in their diet. Give the patient more easily digestible fat foods and sweets. Also, eat more protein-rich foods, such as lean meat, beans, milk, etc. If liver function is not good, protein intake should be controlled to avoid hepatic encephalopathy.
