ONYA Magazine Feature: How to maintain optimum health while going through breast cancer treatment

Nutrition is vitally important when undertaking treatment.

Some treatments can make you feel nauseous or even change the way foods you used to love taste and smell. It’s so important to provide your body with good quality, nutritious food, so that your body has what it needs to function better and recover from the treatment.

Associate Professor Sanjay Warrier says there is no number one cancer-fighting food. Nutrition is derived from a group of foods. So, try to provide your body with a variety of foods to cover the spectrum of nutrients to help fight cancer.

There are also some great foods that are known as cancer-fighting foods. Topping the list would be berries, broccoli, tomatoes and all sorts of fruits, vegetables and nuts. These fresh ingredients all contain phytonutrients, which may help your body fight the cancer. Also stock up on grains, beans and seeds.”
