Are there certain foods I should eat or avoid?

Those newly diagnosed with cancer often ask: "Are there certain foods I should eat or avoid?" Providence Integrative Cancer Care is pleased to offer a class to address the nutritional needs of the person going through cancer treatment.

There can be many nutritional obstacles for a person with cancer, including loss of appetite, nausea and alterations in taste. Some specific topics covered will be:

• how to track your weight
• review of high and low fiber foods
• foods high in protein
• soft foods
• how to read food labels and recipes
• and much more!

This free informational class can provide nutritional tips to get your system through this challenging time.
