Nutrition Before and During Treatment
Dietary planning is a core part of the treatment at Central Hospital. Patients receive detailed guidance to prepare their bodies for the medication. Before starting therapy, the medical team recommends lean, boiled, and low-spicy foods. It is important to avoid fried items and acidic drinks to protect the digestive system. During the active treatment phase, patients should follow these steps:
- Avoid grapefruit and its juice, as it can interfere with medications.
- Eat salty crackers or corn flakes to help manage nausea.
- Use ice cream to help prevent mucositis, which causes mouth sores.
- Drink fresh juices instead of drinks with caffeine.
- Eat high-protein snacks to prevent weight loss.
Post-Treatment Recovery
Maintaining health after chemotherapy requires long-term lifestyle adjustments. The clinical team advises eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Patients should limit red meat to just once per week to reduce inflammation. Choosing whole fruits instead of juice provides more fiber for recovery. Low-intensity exercise is also recommended based on how much the patient can tolerate. This supportive care approach helps patients transition back to daily life more effectively.
