It can enhance the body's resistance and inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells. Many vegetables and fruits, such as tomatoes, hawthorns, oranges, lemons, jujubes, fresh pears, kiwis, etc., are rich in vitamin C and should be eaten more.

Therefore, the diet for lymphoma should be high-quality protein, high-calorie foods, and a variety of foods. Patients should keep eating. If the patient does not take in enough food due to vomiting, they can be supplemented with glucose, amino acids, proteins, etc. through the vein.

3. Patients with lymphoma should eat small and frequent meals. In addition to the three meals, you can add some small, high-calorie, nutritious foods, such as chocolate, biscuits, and egg products. Avoid the peak of chemotherapy drugs when eating. For example, it is best to eat on an empty stomach during intravenous chemotherapy.

4. It is advisable to eat more foods that can enhance the body's immunity, such as coix seed, sweet almonds, water chestnuts, oysters, jellyfish, yellow croaker, sea turtle, crab, horseshoe crab, clam, sea cucumber, Poria cocos, yam, jujube, black-necked snake, green beans, shiitake mushrooms, walnuts, and soft-shelled turtle.
