How to eat in the late stage of liver cancer? Introduction to dietary precautions for late stage liver cancer

As liver cancer continues to grow, the patient's own consumption is large, and the digestion and absorption capacity is poor. Therefore, our dietary principles need to ensure adequate nutrition supply, from picky eating and partial eating, to balance various nutrients.

Experts point out that for patients with advanced liver cancer, two aspects should be emphasized: one is scientific treatment methods, and the other is lifestyle issues. The former is easier to understand, but in terms of lifestyle, the focus should be on diet. Generally speaking, it is mainly about quitting drinking and paying attention to vitamin supplements. The following is a specific introduction to this aspect:

The body can only have anti-cancer energy if it takes in various vitamins. Therefore, we eat some fresh vegetables and fruits containing vitamins every day. However, carotene can be converted into vitamin A after entering the human body, so it is recommended that you can also eat more foods containing carotene.

Secondly, we should pay attention to a balanced diet and eat less and more meals: Due to the continuous growth of liver cancer, the patient's own consumption is large, and the digestion and absorption capacity is poor. Therefore, our dietary principles need to ensure adequate nutrition supply, from picky eating and partial eating, balance various nutrients, eat grains, chicken, duck, fish and meat, but the simplest way to measure whether nutrition is sufficient is to see whether you can maintain a normal weight.

Finally, we specifically choose low-fat and high-protein foods in our diet: because when liver cancer occurs, symptoms such as indigestion and nausea often occur. If you eat too much high-fat food, these symptoms will be aggravated, so you need to eat a light diet. Since we eat less, we need to increase the calories of food in our diet. In addition, we should properly control protein intake to avoid hepatic encephalopathy.

Other aspects of life are also important. For example, patients should not have abnormal emotional intensification and should not overwork. Generally speaking, excessive fatigue will increase the patient's disease burden, especially it will reduce the body's immune ability, which will increase the chance of worsening and metastasis of the disease.
