Nutrition during Cancer Treatment

A good nutrition during cancer treatment will help you feel better, to keep up your strength and energy, to keep up your weight, to tolerate treatment related side effects, to decrease risk of infection, and to heal and recover faster. Cindy Hutson, Celebrity Chef with Miami Cancer Institute and Owner of Ortanique on the Mile, says with her mom, who had cancer, she tried to give her a perfect balance of proteins, vegetables, and all the things that made her stronger. "You can see it, when she wasn't eating, she was weak, was not tolerating things. It was hard."
