For those with smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM), maintaining a healthy diet can be beneficial. Here are some dietary tips based on the knowledge base:

- Plant-Based Diet: Emphasize plant foods but include meat and dairy in moderation. This aligns with a Mediterranean diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, lean meat, and healthy fats.
- Antioxidants: Maximize intake of antioxidants like vitamin A, C, E, beta-carotene, and lycopene, which can help prevent cancer.
- Iron and Folate: If anemia develops, consume foods high in iron (lean meat, dried fruits, legumes, dark green leafy vegetables) and folate (meat, eggs, dairy, nuts, legumes, dark green leafy vegetables).

Always consult with your doctor before making major dietary changes.
