Nutrition

  • ​Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is an important step that may help with cancer prevention, and is an important long-term goal for cancer survivors. Whether you are trying to lose weight or gain weight, it is important to choose healthy foods. Including a source of protein along with vegetables, healthy fat and whole grains at your meals will ensure you get the nutrients you need for good health. Protein is a nutrient that your body uses to build and repair muscle, skin and hair. Choosing beans, peas, lentils, tofu, eggs, fish, and fresh, white meats, such as chicken, are great ways to include healthy proteins in your diet. 
  • Choosing herbs and spices to add flavour to dishes, using fresh meats, and avoiding processed foods are great ways to reduce the amount of sodium in your diet. Too much sodium may lead to high blood pressure, a major risk factor for stroke, heart disease and kidney disease.
