Healthy eating - information from Bupa on healthy eating
“There is not a single diet that will suit every person with cancer, but the Basic healthy guidelines will help…” Cancer treatment places a high demand on the body and can change the way the body uses food. Good nutritional health before, during and after cancer is important.
