Recently, many people have a "rotten mouth", which is medically called angular stomatitis.

It is suggested that the diet should be light to reduce the burden on the stomach. Natural and original green vegetables and fruits will not increase the burden on the liver, and are also rich in antioxidants, which is very helpful for the repair of liver cells and can be eaten more.
