The food that fuels your cancer journey
from Real Health with Karl Henry · host Irish Independent
When someone is diagnosed with cancer, food can become a source of confusion, with endless advice online about what to eat and what to avoid. This week on The Real Health podcast, oncology nurse and nutritional therapist Marilla Healy explains how nutrition can support the body through treatment, from maintaining muscle and strength to managing nausea and poor appetite. She looks at why there is no single anti-cancer diet, the importance of variety and protein, and how small changes can make every mouthful count when eating becomes difficult. She also explains why nutrition should support, not replace, your oncology treatment plan. https://www.independent.ie/service/our-journalism/a/98708550.htmlSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
