What is the best food for liver cancer patients? Introduction to diet and care methods for liver cancer patients

In dietary adjustment, attention should be paid to eating a high-calorie, high-protein, high-vitamin, low-fat diet. People with edema should not eat bacon and pickles, and people with cirrhosis should avoid eating hard, hot, and irritating foods.

Specific care is provided from the following points:

1. Most patients with advanced liver cancer are in a state of systemic failure and have difficulty eating. They should focus on strengthening their body's health. In addition to increasing nutrition, they should often drink American ginseng or white ginseng in water to enhance the functions of their organs.

2. After liver cancer surgery, patients often suffer from general fatigue, sore limbs, poor appetite and spontaneous sweating due to damage to qi and blood. They should focus on nourishing qi and blood. They can eat crucian carp soup, black chicken soup, ginseng tea, longan, white fungus, and turtle. Avoid eating hard, raw and cold food.

3. Liver cancer patients often have symptoms of indigestion such as loss of appetite, nausea, and abdominal distension, so they should eat easily digestible foods, such as sour plum soup, fresh orange juice, fruit juice, ginger sugar water, noodle soup, fresh millet porridge, etc., to help digestion and relieve pain. Do not eat too cold, too hot, or too full. Liver cancer patients often have nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. They should eat light foods that are appetizing and relieve nausea, such as almond juice, lotus root powder, corn paste, kumquat cakes, mountain slag cakes, and other easily digestible foods. Avoid eating heavy oils and greasy foods.

4. Inorganic salts are minerals. Nutritionists divide inorganic salts into two categories: macroelements, such as calcium, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, iron, etc.; trace elements, such as selenium, zinc, iodine, copper, manganese, germanium, etc. Scientists have found that minerals such as selenium, magnesium, copper, magnesium, and iron have anti-cancer effects. Liver cancer patients should eat more foods containing trace elements with anti-cancer effects, such as garlic, mushrooms, asparagus, corn, seaweed, kelp, seaweed, clams, marine fish, egg yolks, brown rice, beans, whole wheat noodles, nuts, pumpkin, Chinese cabbage, kohlrabi, animal liver, kidney, ginseng, wolfberry, yam, ganoderma lucidum, etc.

5. Vitamin 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 animal liver, carrots, cauliflower, day lily, cabbage, figs, jujubes, etc. At the same time, they should also eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as radish, pumpkin, bamboo shoots, asparagus, apples, black plums, kiwis, etc.

6. 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 easily digestible fats and sweets, such as honey and royal jelly.

Sucrose, vegetable oil, butter, etc. Liver cancer patients should eat more protein-rich foods, especially high-quality protein, such as lean meat, eggs, beans, milk, etc., to prevent albumin reduction. However, in the late stage of liver cancer, when liver function is poor, protein intake should be controlled to avoid excessive protein intake that may induce hepatic encephalopathy.

7. Liver cancer patients consume a lot of energy and must be guaranteed to have adequate 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 which should be green leafy vegetables.
