Eating a healthy diet and being physically active are very important for people diagnosed with cancer, both during and after cancer treatment. HEAL Well: A Cancer Nutrition Guide from the American Institute for Cancer Research, offers practical, evidence-based suggestions about diet, nutrition and physical activity.
Your oncology healthcare team can provide valuable insights and direction in your efforts for healthy eating and on ways to become more physically active during and after your cancer treatment. However, it’s important you keep them informed about what you are taking and what diet plans you are following. Ask your medical team if you have any risk factors that need to be addressed when creating your food and activity plan.
