Hemangioma patients are advised not to eat seafood, even though it contains abundant protein. Seafood is considered a "trigger food" that may promote tumor growth after consumption, which is unfavorable for controlling the condition. Patients with hemangioma should primarily consume light and easily digestible foods, avoid spicy or irritating foods such as chili peppers, ginger, and garlic, and also refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol.
