Why nutrition matters when you have cancer.
After a cancer diagnosis, keeping your body strong with a good diet is so important–but it’s not always easy. The disease can make it especially difficult for your body to get what it needs: calories and proteins to regulate your weight, strength, and energy levels, and the right micronutrients to keep your immune system in fighting condition. Additionally, the right diet can make treatment easier, minimizing some side effects and providing you with the energy you need to recover.
