Patients with kidney cancer should pay attention to a balanced intake of nutrients in their diet. Avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and do not consume foods that increase the metabolic burden on the kidneys. The diet should primarily be light, including plenty of fruits and vegetables such as apples, pears, peaches, apricots, and oranges. Consume more garlic, and avoid eating overnight leftovers and pickled foods. Do not drink alcohol, especially strong spirits, and do not smoke. Daily meals should mainly consist of steamed and slow-cooked foods. Food should be finely prepared and soft to enhance nutrient intake. Drink plenty of water and include more protein in your diet to supplement nutrition.
