Why Use Therapeutic Nutrition for Your Cancer Care?
Protecting and enhancing your body with Nutritional Therapy.
Nutritional therapy is a powerful tool used in the health field to help patients overcome a variety of health complications. Nutrition is vital to the health and natural healing properties in the human body.
There are hundreds of different opinions about diet and cancer and, quite honestly, it is very confusing. We use a targeted approach meaning that each patient is recommended foods and nutrients that are personalised for their specific cancer care. This way they have the best chance to optimise their treatment and support their body’s vital systems essential to sustaining health.
Personalised nutrition can make chemo, radiation, and surgery more selectively toxic to the tumour and less toxic to the patient. A well-nourished cancer patient can better manage the disease and the therapies that are used to treat it. Many studies show integrative cancer therapies improve quality of life and cancer survival in cancer patients.
