What should liver cancer patients pay attention to in their diet? Here are some dietary principles for liver cancer patients

1Dietary principles:

(1) Since liver cancer consumes a lot of energy and the liver itself is an important organ of human metabolism, patients should be guaranteed to have adequate nutrition, generally high in protein, sugar, vitamins and low in fat. If the appetite is good, the nutritional supply should be 1.5 times that of a normal person.

(2) The detoxification function of the liver is significantly reduced in patients with liver cancer, so tobacco, alcohol and spicy foods should be strictly prohibited. It is advisable to choose more liver-protecting foods, such as soft-shelled turtle, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, day lily, sword beans, etc. Salt intake should be limited when there is ascites, and greasy food should be avoided when there is jaundice.

(3) It is advisable to choose foods that have the ability to soften and dissipate lumps and enhance immune function to inhibit the rapid growth of tumors.

(4) It is imperative to maintain smooth bowel movements, so the fiber content of food should be ensured, and fresh vegetables or fruits should be included in every meal. However, most liver cancer patients have esophageal varices. To prevent bleeding, food should not be rough, and hard, thorny, or overly hot foods should be avoided. (5) The body's coagulation function of liver cancer patients is reduced, so foods with blood-tonifying and hemostatic effects should be selected. It is appropriate to increase the intake of foods containing vitamin K and vitamin C, such as black plum, arrowhead, clam, water spinach, sea buckthorn, etc. 2 Dialectical implementation:
