What nutrition does liver cancer patient eat

Protein is essential to the human body, and the main component of most tonic foods is also protein. Therefore, some people may give patients with advanced liver cancer a lot of lean meat, eggs, beans, milk and other high protein food. The liver is the place where food protein is decomposed and synthesized into human protein. After the advanced stage of liver cancer, the protein metabolism ability of the liver is greatly reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly control the protein intake. Excessive protein intake is not allowed, otherwise it will induce hepatic encephalopathy and so on.

Due to the great loss of liver function, the bile secretion of patients with advanced liver cancer is greatly reduced, and the fat needs bile to digest. Therefore, the fat digestion ability of patients is very weak at this time. It is best to give patients low-fat food, vegetable oil, cream and other easy to digest fat patients. High fat diet is likely to lead to diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension and other side effects, and greatly damage the vitality of patients.

Fat and sugar are the two major energy sources of human body. In patients with advanced liver cancer, normal human cells are at a disadvantage in competing with cancer cells for nutrition. Only when enough energy is added can normal cells have enough energy. As mentioned above, we can't eat more fat. We can only rely on sugar to supplement energy. Therefore, it's better to give patients high sugar food. Although the intake of high starch food can also be converted into sugars, liver function is needed to help digestion and synthesis. At this time, the liver function of patients can no longer metabolize a large amount of human sugars, so this method is only suitable for normal people. In addition to sweets, it can also directly give patients honey, royal jelly and sucrose.
