First, protein. As a consumptive disease, the occurrence and development of cancer will cause a large amount of protein in the body to be decomposed, and protein is the most important material to maintain physiological functions. Once lacking, it will cause malnutrition, reduce immune function, and promote the decline of anti-cancer ability. For this reason, it is necessary for patients to supplement protein for the recovery of physical functions during the rehabilitation period. For example, poultry meat, seafood, bean products, eggs, milk and other foods are the main sources of high-quality protein. Patients can eat more appropriately.

Second, supplement various vitamins. As an essential nutrient for human body, vitamins can regulate human immunity, eliminate free radicals in the body, reduce the damage of free radicals to normal cells, and play an auxiliary role in anti-cancer. Among the many vitamins, cancer patients need to eat more animal liver, poultry eggs, lean meat, milk, and various fresh fruits and vegetables with bright colors after the recovery period to ensure the intake of vitamin A and B. Among them, vitamin A helps to improve the metabolism of carcinogens and promote the degradation of cancer cells, while vitamin B has the role of stabilizing cancer cell genes and inhibiting cell mutation.

Third, selenium. As a necessary trace element, selenium participates in the regulation of many physiological functions of the body. It can not only improve immunity, but also resist mutation, oxidation, reduce the activity of carcinogens in the body, and prevent unlimited cell proliferation. Many data show that selenium can play a positive role in the fight against cancer, but China is a large country with selenium deficiency. Cancer patients can supplement selenium and choose foods with high selenium content, such as eggs, pork, konjac and animal viscera, as well as vegetables such as cabbage, pumpkin, onion, tomato, etc.
