Fight cancer and lose weight with food! Homemade Healthy Vegetable Soup

Taiwanese artist Dongfang Billy, who suffered from leukemia twice in 1993 and 2009, went to Southeast Asia to develop his career in 1986 and became popular in Singapore. When his cancer relapsed for the second time, he went to the United States for a bone marrow transplant. His weight increased by 25 kilograms due to the treatment. In order to recuperate, he relied on exercise and a healthy diet to gradually restore his previous standard figure. He shared a recipe for a healthy vegetable soup that is not only suitable for patients but also for people who want to lose weight.

Dongfang Billy mentioned that vegetable soup played a vital role in his fight against cancer. Not only can one absorb rich vitamins and minerals from vegetables, but compared to the lettuce salad that Westerners love, Oriental people's eating habits are more suitable for eating vegetable soup. Washing and cooking vegetables can also avoid concerns about pesticide residues. Paired with a bowl of whole grain brown rice, it can be said to be both satisfying and healthy.

Not only can cancer patients eat it as a main meal, but it is also very suitable for people who want to lose weight because of its low calories, high nutritional value and light cooking method. Dongfang Billy further pointed out that ingredients added to vegetable soups, such as chili peppers, ginger, and mushrooms, are all natural ingredients that can add flavor to food and avoid the use of too many processed seasonings such as MSG and MSG. They are highly recommended for everyone to consume.
