What foods can't you eat if you have nasopharyngeal cancer

I don’t know if you have noticed that in recent years, more and more patients have suffered from nasopharyngeal cancer. If patients with nasopharyngeal cancer can adjust their diet in daily life, eat less pickled food, stay away from moldy food, do not eat overnight vegetables, etc., they can effectively speed up their recovery. Today we will explain what foods you should not eat with nasopharyngeal cancer.

1. First of all, nasopharyngeal cancer patients should eat less pickled foods and salted fish. Such foods can easily lead to the occurrence of nasopharyngeal cancer. Nasopharyngeal cancer patients should not eat pickled foods, moldy foods, and unfresh vegetables, because these foods are important sources of nitrite. Nitrite can be used to synthesize nitroso compounds in food or in the stomach, and most nitroso compounds are relatively clear carcinogens. In addition, some processed foods, such as smoked fish, pickled meat, fried bacon, etc., contain more nitroso compounds, which are not suitable for the recovery of nasopharyngeal cancer patients.

2. Nasopharyngeal cancer patients can eat more foods rich in vitamins in normal times, which is conducive to the recovery of our condition. Nasopharyngeal cancer patients should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables with high vitamin content. Fresh fruits and vegetables contain a lot of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, etc. In recent years, studies have found that they have antioxidant effects, can remove free radicals, block the synthesis of carcinogen nitrosamines, inhibit cancer cells, and also have the effects of enhancing the body's immunity and promoting ulcer healing. At the same time, when eating green vegetables, they should be eaten as soon as they are bought, and should not be left for too long, preferably not overnight, to avoid the loss of nutrients such as vitamins due to storage. Therefore, nasopharyngeal cancer patients should not eat unfresh fruits and vegetables.

3. High-protein foods are also needed by nasopharyngeal cancer patients, so you can eat more protein-rich foods in your daily life, which is beneficial to your condition. Nasopharyngeal cancer patients should eat more foods with high protein content. Meat foods such as chicken, duck, fish, and meat have high high-quality protein content and can be eaten frequently, but care should be taken not to eat excessive amounts. Bean foods are also an ideal source of protein. You can often eat tofu and drink soy milk. Sufficient protein supplementation can not only speed up the recovery of trauma caused by radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgery, but also enhance the body's immunity, which helps to recover as soon as possible after surgery.

If a friend finds that his nose often bleeds in daily life, and is accompanied by symptoms such as tinnitus, hearing loss, nasal congestion and headache, then the patient should suspect whether he has nasopharyngeal cancer and should immediately go to a regular hospital for examination and diagnosis so as to achieve early detection and early treatment of the disease, so as to speed up his recovery and avoid inducing other hazards.
