Dietary regimen is also essential, with a well-rounded, high-protein, high-vitamin, low-fat, low-salt diet, less or no spicy and stimulating, greasy, barbecued and pickled foods, regular and quantitative meals, reasonable nutrition, and more fruits and vegetables.
If esophageal cancer is at an advanced stage, surgery is not very meaningful because the cancer cells have spread, and chemotherapy is generally used to control the disease. The diet of esophageal cancer is based on nutritious and easily digestible food.
Esophageal cancer patients should be given highly nutritious and less stimulating food, and can add barley porridge, glutinous rice porridge, fresh meat, eggs, milk, and fresh fruits and vegetables based on their usual habits. For those with poor appetite, fresh pomegranate, fresh umeboshi, fresh hawthorn, etc. can be used to regulate the taste and enhance appetite, and orange peel, pepper, ginger, rock sugar, chicken gizzard, etc. can also be used to make soup for consumption.
In addition, pay attention to the psychological adjustment at the right time, maintain an optimistic and open-minded attitude, and appropriate exercise is also important for recovery. The double ravages of the disease as well as chemotherapy will cause the body to be greatly affected, so you must rest more and relax.
