Eat these three kinds of food often to avoid liver cancer when you are old. Pay attention to three principles of liver cancer care

Cancer threatens the patient's life, so many patients will feel fear after learning that they are ill, but this is actually wrong. Indeed, the high incidence of liver cancer has caused many patients to suffer physical and psychological harm, so how should we take good care of ourselves when we have liver cancer?

Eat three kinds of food to prevent liver cancer

1. Eat carrots and citrus

The protective effect of vegetables and fruits on the liver is produced by the interaction between the vitamins, minerals, fibers, etc. in them. Green leafy vegetables, carrots, potatoes and citrus fruits have the strongest preventive effect. Dr. Dong Jing recommends eating five or more kinds of vegetables and fruits every day, including a glass of juice in the morning, a piece of fruit in the morning and afternoon, and two or more servings of vegetables at dinner. The total daily intake is about 400-800 grams, which can reduce your risk of liver cancer by 20%.

2. Drink Tieguanyin

People in southern Fujian love to drink tea. Dr. Dong said that it is very beneficial for preventing liver cancer. Tieguanyin, which is common in southern Fujian, is the best, and Longjing before the rain is also good.

3. Eat dairy products

Medical research has shown that if you consume dairy products, including milk and yogurt, every day while controlling your alcohol intake, your risk of liver cancer will be reduced by 78%. Currently, children have developed the habit of consuming dairy products, but only a few adults do, so this may be improved.

Three major nursing principles for patients with liver cancer

1. Exercise appropriately:

Liver cancer patients who can return to work should do so as much as possible (it must be light physical labor). This is because patients are idle at home all day and will always think of themselves as patients, which increases their mental burden and is not conducive to recovery. Appropriate exercise and returning to work with co-workers can help them let go of their mental burden to a certain extent, which is beneficial to their health.

2. Maintain a good attitude:

Patients should keep a relatively calm state of mind in their daily lives and actively cooperate with doctors in their treatment. As the saying goes, "anger hurts the liver," so liver cancer patients should avoid excessive emotional fluctuations in their daily lives. Suffering from primary liver cancer does not mean that you cannot do anything. You can do what you can according to your actual situation. You can do some light housework or some light sports activities such as walking, practicing Tai Chi, practicing Qigong, etc., but you should not feel tired as a principle, and you must avoid heavy labor and intense sports activities. Because emotional excitement, heavy physical labor and intense activities may induce hemorrhage in the plica of liver cancer nodules and endanger life. You should know that hemorrhage in the plica of liver cancer nodules is one of the most common causes of death in liver cancer patients.

3. Eat a light diet:

Because most liver cancer patients have impaired liver function, they should eat a light, easily digestible diet and avoid eating too much high-protein, high-fat food, because a high-protein, high-fat diet will increase the burden on the liver and kidneys, and may even induce hepatic encephalopathy (the liver's detoxification ability decreases, excessive protein decomposition produces a large amount of ammonia that accumulates in the blood, enters the brain and causes the patient to have mental symptoms or even coma and death). In addition, spicy, irritating, and rough foods should also be avoided, because patients with primary liver cancer are prone to portal vein cancer thrombosis, causing portal hypertension, esophageal and gastric fundus varicose veins. Once the diet is improper, it may cause upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients, which is life-threatening.
