How to prevent liver cancer in daily life? How to take care of liver cancer in late stage through diet

"Rest in peace, Mom." At 14:59 on April 1, a netizen named "Garfield Kitten" posted a microblog. She is the daughter of Chinese women's volleyball star Chen Zhaodi. Then the sad news came that Chen Zhaodi, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army, consultant of the Chinese Volleyball Association, and former Chinese women's volleyball national player, died on the afternoon of April 1 at the age of 58 due to ineffective rescue for advanced liver cancer.

Another celebrity who left us due to cancer. In recent years, cancer has taken the lives of more and more people, including the veteran Taiwanese artist Xu Feng who died of 8-cell cancer some time ago, and the 27-year-old "Rock Girl" Song Wenfei who died of uterine cancer. These celebrities are people whose lives were cruelly taken away by cancer.

So, why is cancer so prevalent in recent years? How can we prevent liver cancer in our daily lives?

Trace elements: Current research on the relationship between trace elements and liver cancer has found that the mortality rate from liver cancer is negatively correlated with the selenium content in the environment and negatively correlated with the blood selenium level of residents. Animal experiments have shown that selenium can block aflatoxin-induced liver cancer in rats and ducks.

Drinking water pollution: Surveys in areas with a high incidence of liver cancer show that people who drink heavily polluted ditch and pond water have a higher liver cancer mortality rate than those who drink well water, and those who drink deep well water have the lowest liver cancer mortality rate. Recently, due to the advancement of water quality analysis technology, my country and Taiwan have found that microcystins in water have a significant effect on promoting liver cancer.

Genetic factors: In areas with a high incidence of liver cancer, liver cancer has been found to have a significant familial clustering, especially in families with blood relations, close relatives, and those living together. From chromosome analysis, cellular immunity levels, DNA repair ability, and genetic markers, it is suggested that liver cancer has a genetic biological basis. Currently, liver cancer is considered to be a multi-gene genetic disease with a major gene effect.

Cirrhosis: There is a close relationship between cirrhosis and liver cancer. According to statistics, it usually takes about 7 years for cirrhosis to develop into liver cancer. Among them, post-necrotic cirrhosis is the most common, followed by post-hepatitis cirrhosis, and portal cirrhosis is the least common.

Nitrosamine compounds have been isolated from the food of residents in South Africa, a high-risk area for liver cancer. These compounds can also cause other tumors such as esophageal cancer. Therefore, nitrosamine compounds are also classified as one of the causes of liver cancer.

Alcohol poisoning: Alcohol poisoning can cause alcoholic fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, and alcoholic cirrhosis. In alcoholic hepatitis or cirrhosis, the number of Kupffer cells decreases, which can increase the occurrence of liver cell cancer.

Diet care for advanced liver cancer:

1. Diet for advanced liver cancer, balanced diet for advanced liver cancer:

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. The best way to maintain a normal weight is to maintain a balanced diet, requiring patients to eat more fresh vegetables, and half of which should be green leafy vegetables.

2. Diet for advanced liver cancer: low fat and high protein:

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 patients with liver cancer. Patients with liver cancer have poor appetite and eat less. If they do not have a balanced diet, they must increase the calories of their diet and eat fats and sweets that are easy to digest and absorb, such as honey and royal jelly. Sucrose, vegetable oil, cream, etc. Patients with liver cancer should eat more protein-rich foods, especially high-quality protein, such as lean meat, eggs, beans, milk, etc., to prevent a decrease in albumin. 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.

3. Diet for patients with advanced liver cancer: Diet for patients with advanced liver cancer should be supplemented with vitamins:

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, jujube, 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.

4. Inorganic salts:

That is, 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. 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.
