What principles do patients with advanced liver cancer follow in terms of diet

  Fat digestion is very weak in patients with advanced disease. It is best to give the patient a low-fat diet, based on vegetable oils, creams and other fats that are easy for the patient to digest. A high-fat diet is likely to cause side effects such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and bloating, which can greatly harm the patient’s vitality.  Patients with advanced disease need to have enough supplemental energy substances in order to have enough energy for normal cells. It is best to give the patient foods high in sugar. Although high starch foods, etc., ingested into the body can also be converted into sugar, but the liver function is needed to help digestion and synthesis, and at this time the patient’s liver function, can no longer metabolize a large number of synthesis of human sugar, so this method is only suitable for normal people. Besides sweets, honey, royal jelly and cane sugar can also be given to patients directly.  Vitamins can help the body fight against cancer. In addition to taking vitamin products directly, patients in advanced stage should also eat more vitamin-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables and animal liver, especially more vegetables, and ensure that green leafy vegetables account for more than a quarter of the food in their daily diet.  Protein is an essential substance for human body, and liver is the place where protein is synthesized by decomposing food protein. After advanced liver cancer, the protein metabolism ability of liver is greatly reduced, so protein intake must be strictly controlled, and protein should not be consumed in excess, otherwise it will induce hepatic encephalopathy and so on.  Patients with advanced liver cancer can be given calming and tranquilizing foods such as fungus, banana and sesame to relieve patients’ pain. In order to facilitate digestion and absorption, patients should eat liquid or soft food as much as possible. In addition, in order to prevent the patient from having knots in the stool, it is necessary to eat more laxative foods. In addition, patients should avoid stimulating foods such as chili peppers.  In addition to dietary management, patients with advanced liver cancer should also choose appropriate treatment methods according to their own conditions to improve the quality of survival. Through comprehensive treatment, it can reduce pain, improve symptoms, change patients’ survival status and improve survival quality, and effectively inhibit recurrence and metastasis.
