Plant-Based Nutrition
Nutrition plays an important role during and after cancer treatments. After cancer treatments, it's important to pick up healthy habits to maintain a healthy weight. Good habits also help rebuild muscle loss, promote bone health, and improve overall quality of life.
Plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and whole grains are packed with nutrition. Eating a mostly plant-based diet will help you reach these goals and can help reduce your risk of developing another cancer.
You can learn more about eating a plant-based diet and see some meal and snack ideas by watching the presentation below, hosted by Middlesex Health's two oncology dietitians.
