For patients after colon cancer surgery, diet is an essential part of the treatment process. A reasonable and scientific diet not only improves the curative effect and improves the patient's immune function, but also promotes postoperative recovery.

1Reduce fat intakeHigh-fat meals, that is, saturated fats and unsaturated fats, should be avoided after colon cancer surgery. Numerous studies have confirmed that dietary fats can promote the growth of cancer cells. Whether it is animal fat or vegetable fat, reduce your intake as much as possible.

Excess fat, especially animal fat, can stimulate bile acid secretion in the small intestine. When the amount of bile acid in the intestine is too high, it can easily become a carcinogen and promote the growth of cancer cells. However, we cannot avoid eating animal oils, and mainly use vegetable oils. This will cause excessive peroxides in the body. We recommend that patients with colon cancer should pay attention to the reasonable intake of fats and oils after surgery and avoid overeating.

2Increase fiber intakePatients after colon cancer surgery should pay attention to eating more vegetables or fruits rich in dietary fiber to stimulate intestinal peristalsis, increase the frequency of defecation, and reduce the residence time of carcinogens and bacteria in the intestines.

However, after colon cancer surgery, you should be aware that excessive fiber intake can cause intestinal obstruction. You should be given easy-to-digest, soft, semi-liquid food, which can reduce intestinal irritation and help the patient pass through the intestinal lumen more smoothly to prevent the occurrence of intestinal obstruction. Therefore, after colon cancer surgery, various nutrients should be supplemented appropriately according to the patient's own body constitution, but attention should be paid to the appropriate amount.

3Avoid stimulating foodsPatients after colon cancer surgery should avoid ingesting hot, cold, spicy, strong acid and other irritating foods to avoid irritating the intestines, causing various discomfort symptoms, or leading to postoperative complications, which is not conducive to colon cancer surgery. recovery and treatment.

Dietary care after colon cancer surgery is very important. Due to factors such as tumor consumption and surgical trauma, the patient's physical condition is poor. While providing adequate nutrition, traditional Chinese medicine can be used for consolidation treatment. It can also effectively improve the patient's own immune function and kill the disease. Colon cancer surgery can preserve cancer cells, enhance curative effect, and reduce recurrence and metastasis rates to a certain extent.
