Healthy eating - When you are eating well

Healthy eating when you have cancer and during cancer treatment is very important because your body is working extra hard to fight the disease and recover from treatments like chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy.

Good nutrition helps you stay stronger, feel better, and heal faster.

Healthy eating is important when you are eating well, maintaining a healthy weight and are not having symptoms that are affecting your ability to eat enough nutrition or use your nutrition properly.

However, if you have any difficulty eating, you are losing weight unintentionally and/or you are experiencing symptoms that affect your ability to eat enough or use your nutrition properly, then healthy eating is unlikely to be the tight option for you at the moment.
