What can lymphoma patients eat?

1. In terms of diet, you should pay attention to eating more foods that nourish yin and are light, sweet and cold, and promote the production of body fluids, such as water chestnuts, pears, fresh lotus roots, winter melons, watermelons, mung beans, mushrooms, white fungus, etc. Such a diet can effectively improve the damage to the body caused by radiotherapy, such as burning and damaging yin, dry mouth and irritability, and other phenomena of stagnation of heat and damaging body fluids.
