Hello! Once you've had cancer, it's important to stay healthy. Therefore, maintaining a diet rich in vegetables and fiber can lead to nutritional deficiencies.
It's best to eat a variety of foods to keep your body healthy. For more in-depth advice on nutrition as well as measures to prevent and screen cancer, you can go directly to a hospital under Vinmec Health System.
Looking forward to seeing you soon to discuss your current health status. Thank you for trusting and sharing your concerns with Vinmec. Best regards.
