Note:
It’s always a good idea to eat well. Healthy eating is particularly important during and after breast cancer treatment.
Maintaining a healthy, balanced diet can help reduce your fatigue, increase your energy level and help you lose the weight you may have gained during treatments.
If you get into healthy eating habits now, you can also protect your body from other illnesses like diabetes and heart disease in the future.
Remember: there’s no scientifically proven food or diet that can cure or prevent cancer. However, there are foods that promote overall health and others that should be minimized or eliminated from your diet.
