The Importance of a Nutrient-Rich Diet
A well-balanced diet for cancer patients should prioritize the following nutrients:
* Protein: Essential for tissue repair and maintenance, immune function, and energy production. * Carbohydrates: Provide energy for the body and support the immune system. * Fats: Support hormone production, cell growth, and nutrient absorption. * Vitamins and minerals: Involved in various bodily functions, including immune support, energy metabolism, and antioxidant protection.
