Survivorship Nutrition

Survivorship nutrition refers to the dietary practices and nutritional support needed for individuals who have survived serious illnesses, particularly cancer. It focuses on helping survivors regain strength, maintain a healthy weight, and minimize the risk of recurrence. This includes eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins while avoiding excessive sugars, fats, and processed foods. The goal is to enhance overall well-being, improve quality of life, and support long-term health through tailored nutrient intake, addressing the specific needs and side effects that survivors may experience following treatment.
