After breast cancer surgery, the diet should include foods that soften hardness and dissipate nodules, as well as those rich in vitamin D. It is recommended to consume seaweed and dual-nut porridge (made with walnuts and apricot kernels), which can inhibit cancer cell growth and promote the elimination of carcinogenic substances. Consuming loofah stir-fried with eggs helps strengthen qi, disperse nodules, and increase protein intake. Water chestnut and tofu soup helps generate body fluids, relieve thirst, and alleviate fatigue and pain.
