Nutritional diet of patients with liver cancer

summary

My grandfather was diagnosed with liver cancer some time ago. After liver cancer surgery, we all know that if the patient has liver cancer, there are a lot of precautions in diet. Then I asked the doctor what is better for liver cancer patients. Let me introduce to you the nutritional diet of liver cancer patients.

Nutritional diet of patients with liver cancer

First: protein is essential to the human body, and the main component of most tonic foods is also protein. Therefore, some people may give patients with advanced liver cancer a lot of lean meat, eggs, beans, milk and other high protein food. The liver is the place where food protein is decomposed and synthesized into human protein. After the advanced stage of liver cancer, the protein metabolism ability of the liver is greatly reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly control the protein intake. Excessive protein intake is not allowed, otherwise it will induce hepatic encephalopathy and so on. In our daily life, protein is very important to our body. Liver cancer patients need a lot of protein in the later stage.

Second: fat and sugar are the two major energy sources of human body. In patients with advanced liver cancer, normal human cells are at a disadvantage in competing with cancer cells for nutrition. Only when enough energy is added can normal cells have enough energy. As mentioned above, we can't eat more fat. We can only rely on sugar to supplement energy. Therefore, it's better to give patients high sugar food. Although the intake of high starch food can also be converted into sugars, liver function is needed to help digestion and synthesis. At this time, the liver function of patients can no longer metabolize a large amount of human sugars, so this method is only suitable for normal people. In addition to sweets, it can also directly give patients honey, royal jelly and sucrose. In daily life, all people need to supplement sugar, especially liver cancer patients, liver cancer patients can eat more sugar ingredients of food.

Third: vitamins can help the human body to fight cancer. Therefore, patients with advanced liver cancer should take more vitamins. In addition to taking vitamin products directly, we should also eat more vitamin rich foods such as fruits and vegetables and animal liver, especially vegetables. In our daily diet, we should ensure that green leafy vegetables account for more than a quarter of the food. The human body needs to supplement vitamins every day, especially for patients with liver cancer. They need more vitamins. They can take some vitamin drugs.

matters needing attention

In patients with advanced liver cancer, pain often leads to insomnia and other symptoms. Therefore, we can give patients some calming food such as Auricularia auricula, banana and sesame to relieve their pain. In order to facilitate digestion and absorption of patients, try to give patients liquid or soft food. In addition, in order to prevent patients from constipation, we should eat more food to moisten the intestines. Also pay attention to avoid spicy food such as pepper. If suffering from liver cancer, in addition to more careful diet, do not eat heavy food, you can eat some light food, more nutritious food, do not work too hard, try to rest, do not smoke, do not drink.
