With the rapid development of medical technology, small lesions that were once difficult to detect can now be accurately detected. Nodules are one of them, which is also a key factor in the current increase in the number of nodules. Similar to nodules, the detection rate of cysts and fibroids is also increasing. Most of them are benign lesions, and while they may sound worrying, they have limited effects on the body. Only a very small number of nodules are at risk of malignancy, and once such nodules are found, medical interventions are quickly intervened to eliminate the possibility of malignant transformation.

However, patients often have insufficient understanding of the disease, and only rely on literal meaning, online information, or other people's accounts to understand the disease, and then misunderstand. Taking nodules as an example, many people who do not understand it are often closely associated with cancer, believing that if it is not treated in time, they will fall into the quagmire of cancer, thus falling into excessive self-panic.

In fact, there is no need to be overly nervous in the face of nodules. Most nodules are benign and can be effectively dealt with as long as you pay attention to conditioning in your daily life and do a good job of regular follow-up. Here's a special reminder: for people with nodules in the body, diet control is very important.

3. Food should be eaten with caution to prevent the increase of knots

Highly processed foods – take red sausage as an example: In the fast-paced modern life, convenience has become the goal of people's pursuit, but it is also inadvertently buried hidden dangers for health. Taking diet as an example, highly processed foods have emerged, which can be eaten right out of the bag or simply heated without complicated cooking, which greatly meets people's needs for convenience. However, there are hidden dangers behind these foods, such as red sausage, which is delicious and easy to eat, but contains a lot of additives and high salt. Long-term consumption will cause damage to blood vessels, stomach and liver. For people who have nodules in their bodies, they are more likely to encourage the nodules to grow further. In addition to red sausages, the intake of highly processed foods such as pickled foods, air-dried preserved fruits and preserved meat should be controlled if the sugar content is too high or the salt content is excessive.

High-iodine foods – Thyroid nodules with hyperthyroidism should be noted: High-iodine foods are not absolutely contraindicated for patients with simple thyroid nodules. However, when thyroid nodules coexist with hyperthyroidism, it is particularly important to control the intake of foods high in iodine. Too much iodine can interfere with the normal secretion of the thyroid gland, which in turn accelerates the growth of nodules. Foods such as seafood and cruciferous vegetables should be reduced.

Cold food – patients with pulmonary nodules need to be vigilant: nodules are commonly found in the thyroid, breast, and lungs, among which the incidence of pulmonary nodules is relatively high. For people with nodules in the lungs, they should try to avoid eating cold foods. These foods weaken the lungs and prevent them from repairing themselves, which indirectly leads to faster growth of lung nodules. Watermelon, melon, persimmon, crab and other cold foods, if you can, don't eat them.

Second, food is often served on the table to help the nodules dissipate

Dandelion: Dandelion, an ordinary wild vegetable that grows in the wild, contains many benefits. With the wide dissemination of health knowledge, people's understanding of it has deepened, and related research has also increased. Studies have shown that dandelion extract has potential anti-cancer effects, and although this conclusion needs to be verified by more experiments, it is enough to make people realize its value. For people who have nodules in their bodies, consuming dandelion helps in the dissipation of nodules. At the same time, moderate consumption can also promote the metabolism of toxins in the human body, which can reduce the burden on the lungs and protect the lungs for patients with lung nodules.

Sweet potato: Sweet potato can not only be used as a staple food to reduce excessive intake of carbohydrates, but also provide rich nutrients for the human body. It contains quercetin, which has anti-inflammatory effects, and the production of nodules is closely related to inflammation. By actively anti-inflammatory, it helps to dissipate nodules. It is recommended to eat steamed sweet potatoes for breakfast and cook porridge with sweet potatoes for dinner, and persist for a period of time, which may be able to reap unexpected results.

Nodules are detected during a physical examination, which is a common occurrence for many people. At this point, excessive panic is not beneficial, as nodules can be improved by daily conditioning. I hope that the above introduction to the dietary taboos and suitable foods for patients with nodules can help you live a healthy life.
