Lung Cancer Program: Nutritional Support

Nutritional Support

Good nutrition is important for everyone, but it is especially important when your body is fighting disease or recovering from surgery. What you eat affects how you feel and how well you recover from treatment. If you are well-nourished, your body is better able to handle the many stresses of illness, your treatments may be more effective, and side effects that occur may be less troublesome.

Eat a variety of different foods every day, since no food or group of foods contain all the nutrients you need. A diet to keep your body strong includes daily servings of fruits and vegetables, meats and other high-protein foods, grains and dairy foods.
