Are There Specific Fluids That Are More Beneficial?
While water is the best choice for hydration, other fluids can also be beneficial. Herbal teas, broths, and oral rehydration solutions can help maintain electrolyte balance. Some cancer patients may experience a loss of appetite or difficulty swallowing, making it easier to consume fluids in the form of soups or smoothies. Avoid caffeine and alcohol as they can contribute to dehydration.
