In addition to surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine anti-tumor treatment, nutritional support is also one of the important clinical links. Tumor itself is a wasting disease. Malnutrition and weight loss are common in patients with cancer, which are not only the main symptoms of cancer patients, but also the cause of worsening prognosis.

Therefore, nutritional support for malnourished patients is necessary.

Such as asparagus, kale, spinach, cabbage, radish leaves, carrots, celery, mustard, eggplant, peppers, green beans, peas, tomatoes, zucchini and other common vegetables; Strawberry, pear, apricot, grapefruit, lemon, lime, orange, pineapple, watermelon, apple, hawthorn, kiwi, papaya (papaya), papaya, Siraitia grosvenorii and other fruits.
