matters needing attention

Therefore, in order to increase the calories of patients, fat is not easy to limit too strictly, should be based on vegetable oil. 2. Take vitamin C. Increasing the concentration of vitamin C in the body can protect the resistance of liver cells and promote the regeneration of liver cells. The concentration of vitamin C in ascites is equal to that in blood. Therefore, a large amount of vitamin C should be added in ascites. When eating fruit, it should be peeled or squeezed into juice for drinking.
