What is the best diet for lung cancer patients? Introduction to dietary principles for lung cancer patients

Lung cancer is one of the common tumor diseases. With the increasing environmental pollution, the incidence and mortality of lung cancer have risen sharply. Therefore, we must achieve early detection and early treatment. Lung cancer patients should pay more attention to nutritional intake in their diet after surgery, so that our bodies can recover as soon as possible. So, how should lung cancer patients choose their diet?

Garlic: Contains allicin, which can block the synthesis of carcinogenic nitrosamines from multiple aspects. It has a certain effect on preventing esophageal cancer, gastric cancer and various cancers, and the effect is better when eaten raw. People with yin deficiency and excessive fire should not eat too much.

Onion: It contains some anti-cancer substances in garlic, and also contains glutathione, which can bind to carcinogens and have a detoxifying effect. It is also best to eat it raw.

Tomato: An important source of vitamin C. The vitamin C it contains is not easily destroyed during storage and cooking. Tomatoes also contain carotene, lycopene, and B vitamins. Lycopene is the most antioxidant carotenoid. Do not eat tomatoes on an empty stomach, do not eat unripe tomatoes, and do not eat them with cucumbers.

Cucumber: Contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins (A, B1, B2, C, E), succinic acid and other ingredients. Cucumbers can clear away heat in patients with cancer fever or inflammatory fever. Cucumbers are also effective for patients with ascites, pleural effusion or systemic edema.

Cabbage: Rich in vitamin C, carotene, calcium, potassium, etc., and has the advantages of low fat and low calories.

Celery: contains protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins and minerals. Celery also contains volatile celery oil, which can promote appetite. Celery contains a lot of cellulose. Regular consumption can prevent colorectal cancer. British scientists have found that eating celery can offset the damage to the lungs caused by toxic substances in tobacco and prevent and treat lung cancer to a certain extent.

We should eat more of the above foods, pay attention to lung care in daily exercise, and check in time when there is any abnormality in the body. You should know that many lung cancer patients miss the best time for treatment because they fail to find physical abnormalities in time, which ends our lives and leaves us with regrets; so cherish our lives from now on!
