  • The best diet for cancer patients and survivors is one that is focused on mostly plant-based foods. This includes vegetables, fruit, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. 
  • Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables in a rainbow of colours every day is an important part of a healthy diet. Try to fill half of your plate at each meal with vegetables and fruit. This will help you to get a wide variety of beneficial vitamins and minerals, and to get lots of fibre.
