WHAT IT IS
Maintaining a balanced diet and healthy weight are essential components of the lifestyle of cancer survivors. A balanced diet can help reduce the risk of heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and even the risk of cancer recurrence. However, it can be challenging for cancer patients to manage their weight due to the side effects of cancer treatments.
Weight gain is a common side effect of cancer, and it can occur due to hormonal changes or steroid medications.
HOW TO TREAT IT
If you're experiencing unexplained weight gain, it's important to speak with a healthcare professional who can determine the underlying cause of your weight changes and create a personalized weight management plan. In some cases, cancer patients may need to lose weight to prevent the risk of obesity-related diseases.
