ONCOLOGY AND FOOD PROGRAM
Oncology and Food dedicates the first newsletter to illustrate the main objectives of an innovative project that creates a direct line between oncological diseases, treatments, side effects of drugs and nutrition.
EATING HEALTHILY, CHOOSING CERTAIN FOOD FOR OUR STATE OF HEALTH, AGE AND OTHER FACTORS, HAS NOW BECOME A NECESSITY
The project stems from the combination of the results of scientific studies, oncology and recent nutrition skills. Its aim is to give support to cancer patients, to guide them towards a dietary program which will improve their lifestyle before, during and after therapy. The main goal is to achieve 100% adherence to the oncology medical treatments for patients.
CHANGING EATING HABITS IS THE NEW FRONTIER OF SCIENCE
Oncology and Food proposes “Normalism”, a new current that promotes a healthy and balanced nutritional plan for everyone. It indicates what we need to know about the foods that help make us live better and longer. The project provides news and useful information on the online site that can be easily and immediately available.
The topics Oncology and Food will deal mainly with are: preventive nutrition hence, valid for everyone. Ad hoc customized diets for cancer patient according to his/her disease, treatments and side effects of drugs.
