Eating a nutritious diet is essential during cancer

It is important to remember that keeping well-nourished is vital for recovery, can help you feel better, and your body stays strong and yields many physical and mental benefits.

There is no scientific evidence that following any diet can cure cancer or replace cancer treatment. In recent years there has been a lot of interest in diet and cancer. Complementary or alternative fad diets are often restrictive and make false claims about curing or treating cancer.

After cancer treatment, it is helpful to maintain a healthy body weight to reduce your risk of cancer recurrence, diabetes, and heart disease. If you are considering following a particular diet, discuss it with your doctor or a dietitian.
