Liver cancer is a major global public health problem. China has one of the highest incidences of liver cancer.
Avoid high-fat, high-cholesterol foods: The liver is the hub of fat transport. It is one of the main organs for the synthesis of fatty acids, cholesterol, and phospholipids in the body, and excess cholesterol is excreted with bile. The relative constancy of blood lipids is maintained. High-fat, high-cholesterol foods, which the organism of liver cancer patients cannot digest and absorb well, increase the burden on the liver, and also contribute to the growth of tumors and accelerate the deterioration of the disease.
Strict abstinence from alcohol: The latest data show that alcohol drinkers account for up to 32% of liver cancer deaths. The reason is that alcohol and its metabolites have a direct toxic effect on the liver, which can directly damage liver cells and contribute to the decline in immunity of liver cancer patients, accelerating the development of liver cancer and the emergence of complications.
Avoid spicy and irritating food: Spicy and irritating food can cause further decline in the gastrointestinal function of liver cancer patients.
Avoid high sugar diet: The liver is the main organ that regulates blood glucose concentration. Liver cancer patients are prone to lower fasting blood sugar due to reduced liver glycogen storage and impaired gluconeogenesis. If too much high-sugar food is consumed, it will easily cause intestinal flatulence and induce some uncomfortable symptoms and disorders of glucose metabolism.
