Nutrition
Research suggests that healthy eating habits and support from a Registered Oncology Dietitian can help alleviate the side effects of cancer treatment. A diet that is high in unprocessed, plant-based food has been shown to reduce the risk for obesity and cancer, and is beneficial for overall health.
Our nutrition program focuses on helping patients:
- Keep a healthy body weight
- Learn to cook and prepare meals using unprocessed, plant-based foods
- Use plant-based forms of protein and reducing consumption of animal proteins
- Decrease side effects both during and after treatment
Thanks to the funding by the Pluta Cancer Foundation, services are available at no cost to qualified patients.
