Nutrition cannot cure cancer, but it plays a real part in lowering risk and in helping people stay strong through treatment. Because cancer is a multifaceted illness, the right combination of foods and nutrients is highly personal and is best planned with a health professional experienced in cancer care.
Food habits that lower risk
- Fill most of the plate with vegetables, fruit, whole grains and pulses
- Choose fish, nuts and seeds, and cook with healthy oils
- Limit red and processed meat, deep-fried foods, sugary drinks and refined flour
- Avoid or minimise alcohol and tobacco
- Keep a healthy body weight and stay physically active
Nutrients often discussed
Vitamin A and carotenoids (found in orange, yellow and leafy green produce), vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, and glutathione-supporting foods such as garlic, onion and cruciferous vegetables are commonly discussed for their antioxidant roles. Foods are the best source; high-dose supplements are not always safe, and some can interfere with chemotherapy or radiation, so they should only be taken on your oncologist’s advice.
During treatment
Appetite, taste and digestion can change with treatment, so small frequent meals, enough protein, good hydration and food safety matter. Our four-step protocol includes nutritional advice individualised to each person alongside homeopathic treatment, and is meant to complement conventional care.
