Daily dietary precautions for melanoma

What is the daily diet for melanoma? The treatment of melanoma is a long process. Outside of medical institutions, the diet of melanoma patients in daily life plays a great role in the treatment effect.

Melanoma diet

1. Melanoma patients should eat less fat. Fat is the main source of calories for the human body and is a necessary nutrient for daily intake. However, for melanoma patients, it is not advisable to consume too much fat in the diet.

2. Avoid excessive protein intake. Melanoma patients should have a diversified diet. Some melanoma patients often experience digestive tract reactions during radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which weakens digestive function, or tumors increase body consumption and cause malnutrition or even cachexia. Many people blindly adopt a high-protein diet. However, they do not know that a high-protein diet will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, weaken the gastrointestinal digestion and absorption function, and is not conducive to the treatment of melanoma.

3. Melanoma patients should include more fresh vegetables and fruits in their diet. Fresh vegetables and fruits contain a large amount of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, etc. They have strong antioxidant effects, can remove free radicals in the body, block the synthesis of carcinogen nitrosamines, inhibit the degeneration of squamous epithelial cells and the occurrence of cancer cells, and also have the effects of enhancing the body's immune function and promoting ulcer healing. Melanoma patients should include more green leafy vegetables in their diet, eat them as soon as they are bought, and do not leave them for too long, preferably overnight to avoid the loss of vitamins and other nutrients caused by storage.
