What fruits are good for the elderly with osteosarcoma?

Although osteosarcoma often occurs in young people or children under 20 years old, the elderly can also suffer from osteosarcoma. The disease is more uncomfortable and more difficult to treat for the elderly. Therefore, once the elderly find pain and discomfort, they should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time, and the meals and fruits they eat should also be restricted. So what kind of fruit is good for the elderly with osteosarcoma?

1. Eating foods rich in vitamins, such as tomatoes, kiwis, and lemons that are rich in vitamin C; carrots, pumpkins, egg yolks, cod liver oil, etc. that are rich in vitamin A, can enhance the body's local resistance and systemic immune function. In addition, you should also eat more foods containing iron.

2. It is recommended to eat some fruits that can replenish qi and blood, improve the body's immunity, and prevent the replication and metastasis of cancer cells, such as pears, kiwis, apricots, hawthorns, oranges, etc.

3. Eat at least 1-3 fruits rich in vitamin C every day. A balanced diet can stimulate the secretion of gastric juice, improve the digestive ability of the stomach, and regulate the secretion of the pancreas. In addition, the daily diet should be light, and fresh vegetables such as amaranth, rapeseed, spinach, leek, celery, asparagus, cauliflower, pumpkin, sweet potato, etc. can be eaten.

Not only should you pay attention to fruits, but you should also pay attention to the food you eat. Osteosarcoma patients should have a balanced and rich diet, and ensure "double high" (i.e. high calories and high protein). For example, it is best to drink two cups of milk, eat one egg and 150 grams of lean meat every day, or you can use fish or soy products instead. Eat more fresh vegetables, and it is best to have a plate of dark green or yellow vegetables (such as green vegetables, celery, cauliflower, etc.) at each meal. Vegetables can help the body absorb protein, sugars and fats.

I hope my answer is helpful to you and I wish the patient a speedy recovery.
