A cancer diagnosis brings about a lot of question relating to nutrition and diet. Eating well when unwell is the key. We at Sammprada, follow a holistic approach to optimize our patients health and well being.
Nutrition therapy helps cancer patients keep a healthy body weight, maintain strength, keep body tissue healthy and decrease side effects during or after the treatment.
Our dietician works with patients, families and rest of the medical team to manage the patients diet during and after cancer treatment.
The cancer treatments like chemo therapy, hormone therapy, radio therapy, stem cell transplant etc affects the nutrition leading to malnutrition.
Malnutrition can make the patient weak, tired and unable to fight infection. Anorexia and Cachexia is very common in cancer patients.
Nutrition support helps patients who cannot take orally. In addition to counseling by a dietitian, and changes to the diet, nutrition therapy includes nutritional supplement drinks, and enteral and parenteral nutrition support. Nutritional supplement drinks help cancer patients get the nutrients they need. They provide energy, protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
