The indications of possible cancer can be very non-specific: weight loss, feeling dull and exhausted, feeling tired and tired, easily irritable, headaches, sleep, and swallowing problems - these are often the side effects of cancer and the necessary forms of treatment.

 

Nutritional therapy can support you well. Because a sufficient supply of nutrients means for you that you tolerate cancer therapy better. But it also means that you feel stronger and more powerful. You can then be more active and simply feel more comfortable. Nutritional therapy is something that you can take into your own hands and actively control. The appropriate diet for cancer should therefore take on a high priority.

 

Surely you observe many changes in yourself and in your body and have many questions. Have you noticed that you lose weight without going on a diet? Maybe you were even happy at first that you were getting thinner?

 

However, a significant weight loss is an important indication of the disease and often leads to further complaints. Therefore, it is now important to bring the weight back into balance or not to lose even more weight. 

 

Typical for cancer and its treatment is, for example, that you no longer tolerate some foods so well. Your appetite may change. A lot of things don't taste like they used to. Chewing & swallowing difficulties can also occur if the cancer is located in the head or neck area.
