Today we will talk about what hepatitis patients need to pay attention to in their diet, or what they can eat, what they cannot eat, what is good to eat, and some methods of diet therapy.

Dietary principles for liver cancer:

1. Vitamins: Vitamins A, C, E, K, etc. have certain auxiliary anti-tumor effects. Vitamin C is mainly found in fresh vegetables and fruits. Carotene can be converted into vitamin A after entering the human body, so liver cancer patients should eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C.

2. Inorganic salts: minerals. Nutritionists divide inorganic salts into two categories: macroelements, such as calcium, sodium, potassium, etc.; trace elements, such as selenium, zinc, iodine, etc. Scientists have found that minerals such as selenium and iron have anti-cancer effects.

3. Liver cancer patients often have symptoms of indigestion such as loss of appetite, nausea, and abdominal distension, so they should eat easily digestible food.

㈣. Most patients with advanced liver cancer are in a state of systemic failure and have difficulty eating. They should focus on strengthening their body and eat easily digestible foods.

5. Balanced diet: Liver cancer patients consume a lot of energy, so they must be guaranteed to have enough nutrition. The simplest way to measure the nutritional status of patients is whether they can maintain their weight. To maintain a normal weight, the best way is to maintain a balanced diet, requiring patients to eat more fresh vegetables, and half of them should be green leafy vegetables.

6. Fat and protein: A high-fat diet can affect and aggravate the condition, while a low-fat diet can alleviate symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension in liver cancer patients. Liver cancer patients have poor appetite and eat less. If they do not have a balanced diet, they must increase the calories of their diet and eat crude fat that is easy to digest and absorb. Liver cancer patients should eat more foods rich in plant protein, especially high-quality plant protein.
