Think Nutrition Doesn’t Matter for Your Mesothelioma? Think Again.

At least 35 percent of all cancer cases are related to poor nutrition, according to the National Cancer Institute. While mesothelioma isn't related to poor nutrition, improving your diet can help mesothelioma patients fight the progression of this merciless disease.

So, what food should you eat? Maintain a diet heavy in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean potatoes. As for what you shouldn't eat, avoid fast food, sweets, and processed foods that impede metabolism and immune system function. In addition to slowing the growth of mesothelioma, a balanced diet will help prevent infection, relieve painful and uncomfortable cancer symptoms, and improve quality of life.

To create a nutritional plan, visit with your doctor.
