Can't people with thyroid cancer eat millet?

Thyroid cancer patients can eat millet, but pay attention to the right amount. Thyroid cancer is one of the common malignant tumors, belonging to the endocrine system malignant tumors, originating from thyroid follicular epithelial cells or parafollicular epithelial cells.

The cause of thyroid cancer is still unclear. It may be related to radiation exposure, genetic factors, insufficient or excessive iodine intake and other factors. There are generally no obvious symptoms in the early stage. As the disease progresses, symptoms such as neck lumps, hoarseness, and difficulty swallowing may appear. Millet is rich in nutrients such as protein, vitamin B1, and vitamin B2. Proper consumption can supplement the nutrients needed by the body and help recovery from the disease. In addition, the dietary fiber content in millet is relatively high. Proper consumption can promote gastrointestinal motility and help prevent and relieve constipation. Therefore, patients with thyroid cancer can eat millet.

Although millet has many benefits, it should be eaten in moderation to avoid increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and causing discomfort such as bloating and abdominal pain. If the above discomfort symptoms occur, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment in time.

In daily life, patients should also pay attention to healthy diet and eat more light and easily digestible foods, such as millet porridge, pumpkin porridge, etc. At the same time, they can also do appropriate physical exercise, such as slow walking, Tai Chi, etc., to enhance their own resistance.
