Dr. Deng Yao
Zucchini has a relatively low purine content, making it suitable for consumption by some patients. It is also rich in vitamins and trace elements, which helps replenish nutrients deficient in the body and supports gastrointestinal digestion and absorption. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet in daily life and minimize intake of spicy or stimulating foods—such as chili peppers and seafood.
