Can't people with thyroid cancer drink celery juice?

Clinically, there is no saying that thyroid cancer patients cannot drink celery juice. If you only drink a small amount of celery juice occasionally, it generally will not have a significant impact on the disease. However, if you drink a large amount of celery juice for a long time, it may cause certain damage to your health.

1. Drink occasionally in small amounts:

Thyroid cancer patients can drink celery juice normally. Celery juice is mainly made from celery juice and is rich in vitamins, dietary fiber, and a variety of trace elements and other nutrients. Drinking a small amount can help supplement the nutrients needed by thyroid cancer patients and have certain benefits for their health.

2. Long-term drinking:

1. Increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract: Thyroid cancer patients who drink celery juice for a long time and in large quantities may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, causing abdominal distension, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other uncomfortable symptoms;

2. Affecting the absorption of nutrients: Celery juice contains a certain amount of oxalic acid. Drinking it in large quantities for a long time may affect the absorption of calcium, especially drinking it in large quantities before going to bed, which can easily lead to an increase in the amount of oxalic acid in the body and may induce osteoporosis in patients with thyroid cancer. Drinking celery juice in large quantities for a long time may also accelerate the loss of calcium, especially for children who drink it in large quantities for a long time;

3. Leading to trace element deficiency: Celery juice contains a certain amount of potassium. If thyroid cancer patients drink it in large quantities for a long time, it may cause excessive potassium in the body and cause hyperkalemia;

4. Causes water and sodium retention: Since thyroid cancer patients need to limit iodine intake, and celery juice contains a certain amount of salt, if you drink celery juice in large quantities for a long time, it may cause the body to take in too much salt, causing water and sodium retention, which is not conducive to the treatment and recovery of the disease.

Thyroid cancer patients are advised to eat light and easily digestible food, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. In addition, they should also eat less greasy, spicy and irritating food, avoid smoking, drinking and other adverse stimuli. Pay attention to maintaining a good attitude and actively cooperate with doctors for treatment.
