How can diet help manage side effects of cancer treatment?
Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation can cause various side effects, including nausea, fatigue, and mouth sores. A balanced diet can help manage these side effects. For nausea, ginger and peppermint tea can be soothing. High-calorie, high-protein snacks like smoothies, yogurt, and cheese can help maintain energy levels. Soft foods like mashed potatoes and applesauce can be easier to consume if mouth sores are present.
