Nutrition

Good nutrition is vital to good health, disease prevention, and essential for healthy growth and development.

Today there is a wealth of nutritional information available at your finger tips. From diet books to newspaper articles, everyone seems to have an opinion about what you should be eating. It's no secret that good nutrition plays an essential role in maintaining health.
 
While you already know it is important to maintain a healthy diet, you may find it more difficult to sort through all of the information about nutrition and food choices. 

Central Care Cancer Center staff can help find resources and assist in making nutritional food choices.  Nutritionists, also called dietitians, work with patients to help maintain proper nutrition during treatments.  There are many diets available to help with these symptoms, as well as, a variety of dietary supplements that can be added or substituted for meals.  During treatment, loss of interest in food, or changes in taste, saliva production, diarrhea, or nausea may occur.

Healthcare professionals are available to discuss any concerns or issues.  

Adequate nutrition is essential to preventing and alleviating many uncomfortable side effects of treatment.
