What to eat for nasopharyngeal cancer

Patients with nasopharyngeal cancer can eat high-protein, throat-moistening foods rich in carotene such as β-eggs, apples, and wolfberries.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma refers to a malignant tumor that occurs on the top and side walls of the nasopharyngeal cavity. Common clinical symptoms include nasal congestion, bloody nose, stuffy ears, hearing loss, diplopia and headache.

1. People with nasopharyngeal cancer can eat high-protein foods. High-protein foods require cancer patients to supplement a lot of food. High protein can promote the synthesis of autoimmune proteins, improve physical fitness, and enhance resistance to better fight cancer and delay the spread of cancer. The main foods are fish, lean meat, milk, eggs, beans and bean products, among which fish protein is the best animal protein.

2. You can eat foods that can promote the production of saliva and moisten the throat. Eating more foods that can promote the production of saliva and moisten the throat can help relieve coughs, moisten the lungs and relieve coughs, and relieve throat discomfort and foreign body sensation caused by nasopharyngeal cancer, thereby alleviating the patient's pain and helping the patient recover as soon as possible. These mainly include olives, plums, pears, apples, sugarcane, monk fruit, fish, etc.

3. Eat foods rich in beta-carotene. Because it may be harmful for the human body to directly ingest large amounts of vitamin A, we can choose to ingest beta-carotene, which will be converted into vitamin A in the body. Mainly eat foods such as melon, wolfberry, spinach, water spinach, etc., which help protect the immune system from attacks by free radical molecules.
