Good Nutrition Boosts Cancer Treatment

Benesse's Nutrition Services staff consists of registered dietitians who will assist you with any nutritional concerns you may have during your treatment for cancer. We will meet with you at least once during the course of treatment to address any eating or related nutrition problems you may be encountering, as well as discussing the importance of good nutrition. Additional sessions can be set up as needed.

Good nutrition is especially important for people with cancer. A healthy diet can help you feel better and help your body better handle the stresses of cancer. Your medical treatment may also work better when you are well nourished.

The best way to stay nourished is to eat a balanced diet with adequate calories from protein, carbohydrate and fat, along with essential vitamins, minerals and fluid. Protein foods are especially important because your body uses them for tissue repair.

We look forward to meeting with you. To contact a dietitian, please call (317) 398-5315 or e-mail us at lschnepp@majorhospital.com.
