However, cancer patients are prone to loss of appetite, malnutrition, indigestion and other conditions, "what to do if you have no appetite", "will eating too well cause tumors", "should hair be avoided" ......For this special group of cancer patients, how to eat healthy during the Spring Festival?

Learn to eat four don'ts:
First, don't smoke or drink. Smoking is harmful to health, and cancer patients need to strictly prohibit smoking. Alcohol has a great erosion effect on the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, and also increases the burden on the liver and stimulates the secretion of pancreatic juice. During the holiday season, cancer patients should drink less or try not to drink alcohol, especially those suffering from digestive tract and hepatobiliary tumors.
Second, don't be greasy. During the Spring Festival, everyone often prepares a variety of delicacies, eating big fish and meat. However, too much fat will increase the burden on the digestive tract, and greasy food will stimulate the gallbladder to contract, and even bloating and diarrhea will occur. Therefore, patients with digestive tract and hepatobiliary tumors should also have a light diet during the Chinese New Year to reduce greasyness.
Third, don't overeat. Overeating is the main cause of digestive disorders during the festival. However, cancer patients have a history of pelvic and abdominal surgery, gastrointestinal tumors, and the use of antiemetic drugs during chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Therefore, cancer patients should eat a regular diet and eat as few meals as possible to avoid increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.
Fourth, don't eat too spicy, irritating, and unclean food. In the festival, the variety of food has increased, all over the world, sweet and sour, spicy, everything. Cancer patients, especially those with gastrointestinal cancers, should control the intake of spicy and stimulating foods. In addition, cancer patients have low immunity, so special attention should be paid to dietary hygiene, especially the shelf life of cold dishes and snacks, as unclean food may cause vomiting, diarrhea, etc., leading to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infection.
As a cancer patient, during the Spring Festival, we must firmly remember the phrase "life is no trivial matter", and in the face of all kinds of delicious food, we must not have a fluke mentality, thinking that it will be just the New Year, which will cause hidden dangers that affect ** and **.
