What are my nutrition options once diagnosed with mesothelioma?
It is important to:
- Include the proper combination of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, lipids (fats) and proteins in your diet.
- Avoid alcohol, tobacco products, "bad" fats such as saturated and Trans fats, processed and prepackaged foods, fast food and buffets (higher chance of picking up bacteria).
- Eat cruciferous vegetables because they are very good at strengthening the immune system which is important after a cancer diagnosis because the immune system becomes weakened with many treatments such as chemotherapy.
