The food should be clean, with a combination of meat and vegetables, coarse and fine foods, and a combination of coarse and fine foods. The food should not be monotonous or too greasy, but should be easy to digest and absorb. When eating, the environment should be relaxed, the mood should be happy, and you should not be partial to certain foods, not eat too much, and not overeat.

2. Live a regular life, do not stay in bed, do not overwork, and do not act according to your temper. A regular life can keep the body in a normal working state, so that the recurrence and metastasis of the tumor will have no chance to take advantage.

Patients can choose activities such as walking, jogging, Tai Chi, swordplay, swimming, etc. according to their physical condition. The amount of exercise should be moderate without feeling tired.
