Question
My friend’s father was diagnosed with cancer last year, and during the treatment, his body has started to experience various discomforts. He often experiences anemia now. What should a cancer patient eat?
Answer
The dietary taboos for cancer patients should be determined according to the specific condition of the disease and syndrome. For example, lung cancer patients should be prohibited from smoking, liver cancer patients should be prohibited from drinking alcohol, and gastrointestinal cancer patients should be prohibited from eating preserved foods and moldy foods, etc. It is recommended that most cancer patients consume high-quality protein, regular fats, fiber, and foods rich in vegetables, fruits, vitamins, and other nutrients. Maintain freshness and hygiene, promptly supplement the necessary nutrients in the body, effectively enhance immune function, and strengthen resistance.
