Good Nutrition Is Important Before, During And After Cancer Treatment
When you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer, the last thing on your mind is what to eat — especially when the illness and its treatment affect your appetite. However, using food as medicine through good nutrition is vital for those with cancer. Eating properly before and after treatment can aid in feeling better and maintaining or boosting strength.
How Protein+ Meals Help Cancer Patients
It’s especially important during cancer treatments for patients to make sure they are getting the nutrients they need and to avoid extreme changes in their diet. Eating well can be physically, mentally and emotionally beneficial as they fight this disease.
Protein is one of those vital nutrients. Protein has a wide range of benefits, including helping maintain a healthy immune system, keeping bones strong and aiding in the continuous replacement of blood and skin cells.
We understand for those undergoing cancer treatment, the prospect of making a home-cooked meal can seem daunting. To remove the hassle and guesswork of mealtime, we offer a wide range of high-protein meals crafted to support cancer patients.
Protein+ menu options from Mom’s Meals:
- Contain at least 600 calories and 25 grams of protein per meal
- Have been developed with input from registered dietitians specializing in oncology and in accordance with guidelines from the American Institute for Cancer Research
