How Can Patients Cope with Nutritional Challenges During Treatment?
Cancer treatments can lead to various side effects, such as nausea, loss of appetite, and taste changes. Here are some strategies to cope:
- Small, frequent meals can be easier to manage than large meals. - High-calorie, high-protein snacks like nuts, cheese, and yogurt can help maintain weight and muscle mass. - Flavor enhancers like lemon juice, herbs, and spices can make food more palatable. - Smoothies and shakes can be a nutritious option if solid foods are difficult to consume.
