Nutritional Support During Treatment
Dietary management is a vital part of the chemotherapy protocol at the clinic to help patients maintain their strength. The medical team provides specific guidelines for every stage of the process:
- Before treatment: Patients are advised to eat lean, boiled foods and drink plenty of fluids in small portions.
- During treatment: High-protein snacks and medical nutrition products help prevent weight loss.
- Managing nausea: Salty snacks like peanuts or corn flakes are recommended to settle the stomach.
- Safety warning: Patients must strictly avoid grapefruit and its juice, as it can interfere with chemotherapy drugs.
For long-term recovery, the plan includes at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Red meat is typically limited to once per week while dairy products are encouraged.
Exercise and Recovery
Central Hospital includes a tailored exercise program for patients undergoing chemotherapy. This low-intensity routine aims to improve cardiovascular health and muscle strength. Regular physical activity helps reduce common side effects like fatigue and depression during the treatment cycle. The hospital’s AI-powered imaging systems allow doctors to adjust these supportive therapies based on the patient's real-time physical response.
