I’m Stacy Kennedy, nutrition specialist for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Welcome to Eating Well During Cancer. Today, I’d like to talk to you about the link between nutrition and cancer.
Good nutrition can play a role and have an impact throughout the journey of cancer. Research has shown that eating a healthy diet along with regular exercise, weight management, not smoking cigarettes, and reducing stress can all help to lower your risk of developing certain types of cancers, promote feeling well during treatment, managing symptoms like fatigue or bowel changes, loss of appetite, and also help promote survivorship.
We know that eating well can be a challenge during cancer treatment, but it’s so important and can have a very strong impact on everything from helping to increase your energy level to boosting your immune system. It’s important to work with a nutritionist who specializes in cancer treatment along your journey through cancer.
At Dana-Farber we have a team of specialists ready to work with you and help customize the best diet for you during treatment, as well as beyond into survivorship. If you’re not a patient at Dana-Farber, or even if you are would like more information, tips, and recipes, we encourage you to visit our website or to download our free app. On behalf of the nutrition department at Dana-Farber, I’m Stacy Kennedy.
