The treatment is finished - what's next
at the latest after cancer treatment is in very many patients, the desire to change the current lifestyle and eating habits and thus to improve their own health. But what specific diet suggestions can be pronounced? Summarizing the previously existing scientific studies together, may be assumed that a predominantly vegetarian diet, including dairy products, eggs, fish and occasionally meat is the most recommended form of food. With the addition of the Mediterranean diet (lots of vegetables, fruits, fish, olive oil quality), the kitchen can make very tasty and varied. A meat and fish ban does not make sense. Iodine, vitamin B12, minerals and trace elements can be well supplied by moderate meat and fish consumption. A pure vegetarian diet can easily lead to nutritional deficiencies
