Good nutrition is vital for people undergoing cancer treatment, but so
often the side-effects of the treatment make food unappealing and eating
becomes a struggle. In Nourish you'll find easy-to-follow recipes
designed specifically for cancer patients (and their families). The
focus is on nutritious food that can be easily tolerated - and can help
to alleviate common symptoms and side-effects, and form a crucial part
of any cancer treatment programme. The role of nutrition is explained
and the introduction outlines clear advice on cancer-fighting foods and
how to tackle side-effects. For many suffering with cancer, eating
little and often is important, so Nourish includes plans based on eating
small meals six times a day. There are more than 75 recipes presented in
four chapters - 'Drinks, Juices, Smoothies, Shakes & Teas', 'Soups,
Light Meals & Snacks', 'Main Meals' and 'Desserts & Baked Treats' - as
well as a chapter with recipes that are helpful for common side-effects.
All the recipes are delicious yet simple to make, and many can be made
in advance to make mealtimes hassle-free.
Whether you are undergoing treatment, have opted to eat healthier as a
preventative measure or are supporting someone through cancer and wish
to provide nourishing dishes for them, this book will be your culinary
guide.
