🌟 Facing cancer? Here’s something that can make life a little easier. 🌟
When you’re going through treatment, eating well matters—but let’s be honest, it can feel overwhelming. New foods, confusing “don’ts,” and the stress of planning meals? It’s a lot.
The good news: Small changes can make a BIG difference, says Jessica Coleman, MLA, NBC-HWC, an integrative oncology health and wellness coach at The Osher Center for Integrative Health at University of Vermont.
“The goal is to have eating well feel less like a chore and more like an opportunity to care for yourself, one meal at a time,” Coleman adds.
🍎🥦 She says one easy way to start doing that today is to consider two or three fruits, vegetables, whole grains and healthy proteins you already enjoy.
“Adding favorite healthy foods to your plate instead of fixating on what to subtract is a pleasure-based approach to food choice that can be easier to follow than one based on restriction,” Coleman explains.
