What are the dietary taboos for melanoma

In people's lives, diet is absolutely indispensable, because everyone needs to rely on diet to provide energy. Especially patients need to pay more attention to their diet, which is conducive to their physical recovery. Therefore, melanoma patients should also pay attention to their diet. So what are the dietary taboos for melanoma patients?

1. Melanoma patients should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits

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, you should eat them as soon as you buy them, and don't leave them for too long, preferably overnight to avoid the loss of vitamins and other nutrients caused by storage.

2. Eat less fat

Although fat is the main source of calories for the human body, it should not be consumed in excess. A long-term high-fat diet for melanoma patients 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, so they should adopt a low-fat diet.

3. Protein intake should not be excessive and the diet should be diversified

Because cancer patients often experience digestive tract reactions during radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which weakens 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 gastrointestinal digestion and absorption functions, and are not conducive to tumor treatment. Many experiments have shown that high-protein diets are positively correlated with the incidence of ovarian cancer and prostate cancer. This is one of the dietary precautions for melanoma patients.

Whether you are suffering from melanoma or other diseases, you need to pay attention to your diet so that your body can slowly recover. Maybe there are some foods you want to eat, but these foods will harm your body. It is recommended that you do not eat them, be more patient, and wait until your condition recovers before eating those foods.
