Can lung cancer patients eat fruit? Eating some fresh fruit can improve the ability to fight cancer

Lung cancer patients not only do not need to abstain from certain fruits, but can eat more fresh fruits appropriately.

1. Lung cancer is a common malignant tumor, and the patient's immunity may decline to varying degrees. Most fruits contain vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E, which have antioxidant effects, can maintain and promote immune function, and can help improve the body's anti-cancer ability of lung cancer patients.

2. Lung cancer patients often need chemotherapy or radiotherapy to help kill some cancer cells or prevent their growth. However, patients receiving chemotherapy and radiotherapy often experience loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and other discomforts. Some fruits, because of their sweet and sour taste, can help improve patients' appetite.

It should be noted that patients with this disease should avoid eating fruits just taken out of the refrigerator to prevent diarrhea and other discomforts.
