How to prevent hepatitis from turning into liver cancer? 8 things to pay attention to in your daily diet for liver cancer

"Hepatitis - cirrhosis - liver cancer" is often referred to as the liver cancer trilogy. Clinically, many hepatitis patients will eventually develop liver cancer. This shows that hepatitis is a major cause of liver cancer. So how can hepatitis patients prevent liver cancer? Dietary conditioning is the key.

1. Eat more foods rich in rice bran fiber

Rice bran is not only rich in B vitamins, which can protect the liver, but also has a good effect in absorbing carcinogenic harmful substances. Since the human body lacks enzymes to digest rice bran fiber, the absorbed harmful substances are completely excreted from the body in the form of feces by rice bran fiber.

For people with liver disease or long-term carriers of hepatitis B surface antigen, regularly using rice bran to adjust their diet to absorb and excrete harmful substances in the digestive tract is a good way to prevent liver cancer.

2. Don’t eat moldy food

Moldy foods such as stored peanuts, corn, rice, millet, dried sweet potatoes, and dried radishes are easily contaminated by Aspergillus fumigatus, which is a recognized carcinogen that is 75 times more carcinogenic than nitrosamines and 4,000 times more carcinogenic than chloramine.

Therefore, once the above foods are found to be moldy, they should be discarded and never be eaten by others. If you suspect that a large number of grains, oils and dairy products are contaminated with mold, you should immediately ask the health and epidemic prevention department to check. Only after obtaining permission can they be distributed, sold or eaten.

3. Avoid eating rancid-smelling fats

Stale oils contain malondialdehyde, a chemical component that can generate polymers and react with proteins and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the human body, promoting protein structure mutations, cell loss of normal function and transformation into early cancer cells. In addition, malondialdehyde polymers can also hinder DNA replication and accelerate the aging process of humans. Therefore, animal and vegetable oils should not be stored for too long, and those that have gone bad should not be eaten.

4. Bitter melon is a good medicine for preventing liver cancer

The bitter melon in bitter melon is known as the "fat killer". The fresh juice of bitter melon contains bitter melon glycosides and insulin-like substances, which have a good blood sugar-lowering effect and can reduce the intake of fat and polysaccharides. In addition, bitter melon can also reduce the occurrence of liver cancer.

Bitter melon is rich in dietary fiber and vitamin C, which is nearly three times that of tomatoes. Vitamin C is an excellent antioxidant that can improve the body's stress resistance. The active ingredients in bitter melon can inhibit the canceration of normal cells, promote the recovery of mutant cells, have a certain anti-cancer effect, and reduce the risk of liver cancer.

5. Eat more garlic and broccoli

① The alliinase in garlic has anti-cancer effects. If you slice the garlic and leave it in the air for 10 minutes before eating it, the alliinase will play a more significant anti-cancer role.

② Steaming broccoli for three or four minutes can greatly increase the effectiveness of the anti-cancer substance "sulforaphane" contained in it. It should be noted that it cannot be heated in a microwave oven, otherwise the substance will be destroyed.

In addition, what should we pay attention to in our daily diet for liver cancer?

1. Liver cancer patients should avoid smoking and drinking.

2. Avoid overeating, greasy food, salted, smoked, grilled and fried food, especially burnt or charred food.

3. Avoid spicy foods such as onions, garlic, peppers, chili peppers, cinnamon, etc.

4. Avoid moldy or pickled foods, such as moldy peanuts, moldy soybeans, salted fish, pickled vegetables, etc.

5. Avoid foods that are bony, rough, hard, sticky, indigestible, and contain crude fiber.

6. Avoid foods that are strong in taste, too sour, too sweet, too salty, too cold, too hot, or contain too much gas.

7. People with ascites should avoid foods high in salt and water.

8. People with low coagulation function, especially those with bleeding tendency, should avoid scorpions, centipedes, and foods and Chinese medicines that have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
