How to prevent melanoma

In the survey of many melanoma patients, it was found that many melanoma patients waited until the disease became serious before they thought of treating melanoma. This is why the treatment cycle of melanoma is so long. So, patients should take the correct melanoma prevention measures. Let's answer the question together.

A scientific and reasonable diet can help melanoma patients recover, but nowadays there are still some patients who are following the wrong melanoma diet. So, what is the correct melanoma diet? Let's ask experts to introduce you to the melanoma diet.

Melanoma patients should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. Fresh fruits and vegetables contain a lot of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, etc. Recent studies have found that they have antioxidant effects, can remove free radicals, block the synthesis of carcinogenic nitrosamines, inhibit the degeneration of squamous epithelial cells and the occurrence of cancer cells, and also have the effects of enhancing the body's immune function and promoting ulcer healing. When eating green leafy vegetables, eat them as soon as you buy them, and do not leave them for too long, preferably overnight, to avoid the loss of vitamins and other nutrients caused by storage.

Eat less fat. Although fat is the main source of calories for the human body, it should not be consumed in excess. Long-term high-fat diets can easily lead to melanoma, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer. In addition, cancer patients often experience nausea, vomiting, aversion to greasy food, and poor digestion during treatment or disease progression. Melanoma patients should adopt a low-fat diet.

Protein intake should not be excessive and the diet should be diversified. Because cancer patients often have digestive tract reactions during radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which leads to weakened digestive function, or tumors increase body consumption and cause malnutrition or even cachexia, many people blindly adopt high-protein diets. Little do they know that high-protein diets will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, weaken the gastrointestinal digestion and absorption function, and are not conducive to the treatment of tumors. Many experiments have shown that high-protein diets are positively correlated with the incidence of ovarian cancer and prostate cancer.

Scientific cooking pays attention to protecting the nutritional components of food. my country has been very particular about the cooking and processing of food since ancient times. For the dietary conditioning of cancer patients, it should be noted that different cooking methods, heating temperatures and holding times have a direct impact on the nutritional value of food. Generally speaking, grain foods such as rice and beans and nuts such as lotus seeds, coix seeds, and walnuts can withstand long-term heating processes such as boiling and stewing, and can promote the dissolution of their effective ingredients in the soup; meat foods with nourishing effects should also be boiled for a long time; vegetable foods that need to be cooked should try to shorten the heating process as much as possible, so as to achieve the purpose of frying and ensure that vitamins and other nutrients are not destroyed; some vegetables rich in vitamins and other nutrients can be eaten raw, and patients can be advised to use cold salad and other methods to process and eat them, so as to protect the nutritional components of food. This is one of the dietary precautions for melanoma.

Melanoma can have serious impacts on our physical health, so we must prevent melanoma in our daily lives and develop good habits. Once symptoms of melanoma appear, we should go to a dermatology hospital for treatment in time.
