How should lung cancer patients eat? Lung cancer patients should pay attention to these 6 points in their diet

There are more and more types of cancer in society now, and many people have already suffered from lung cancer. At the same time, lung cancer can seriously damage a person's lungs and even cause a person to completely lose his life. So how should lung cancer patients eat?

1. Avoid high-fat foods. More than half of obese people are prone to cancer. Eating too much fat can lead to weight gain. Excessive fat causes changes in body hormones, affects cell metabolism, and increases the excretion of magnesium in the body. These factors can promote the occurrence of lung cancer. Pork, fatty meat, butter, etc. are all such foods.

2. Do not eat barbecued food carelessly. Because any food grilled with charcoal, coal or gas contains the carcinogen benzopyrene (benzopyrene [translation]: a common highly active indirect carcinogen. It is inhaled into the lungs through the respiratory tract, enters the alveoli and even the blood, causing lung cancer and cardiovascular diseases), eating it is extremely harmful to the health of lung cancer patients.

3. Do not eat aphrodisiac foods, such as mutton, dog meat, pigeon meat, goose meat, and sparrow meat. Many animals contain hormones, which are not conducive to the physical recovery of patients with advanced lung cancer.

4. Do not eat cordyceps, ginseng essence, deer antler essence, cinnamon, astragalus, wolfberry, American ginseng, and do not randomly inject interferon, thymosin and other supplements. Some patients think that these drugs can make them strong, but in fact, these drugs can make you consume more body energy and promote the rapid growth and metastasis of lung cancer masses.

5. Lung cancer patients in the advanced stage should not eat high-iodine foods. For example: crabs, kelp, shrimps and scaleless fish, including iodized foods and iodized salt. Eating these foods will cause the tumor to rupture. Iodine is widely present in seawater. Iodine can promote the dissolution of soft tissues, thus having a expectorant effect, and is beneficial for benign tumors and vascular sclerosis. However, it has always been taboo for hemorrhagic diseases and cancer.

6. Avoid drinking too much tea or strong tea. This is also a taboo for lung cancer patients taking Chinese medicine. The caffeine, theophylline and tannic acid in tea can interact with certain drugs and reduce the efficacy of the drugs, which is called "tea antidote". Lung cancer patients should avoid taking strong irritating foods with Chinese medicine during the treatment of lung cancer.

Some people become desperate about life after learning that they have lung cancer. They pay no attention to their diet, which aggravates their condition and ends their life sooner. Therefore, every lung cancer patient must pay more attention to their diet if they do not want to suffer serious damage to their body.
