Introduction to Nutrition
Increasingly, healthy eating is being seen as very important for people with cancer. Research clearly shows that a healthy diet can reduce the risk of cancer developing in the first place and growing evidence indicates that a healthy diet will also help to support and maintain the health of those who have already received a cancer diagnosis.
Penny Brohn Cancer Care has produced healthy eating guidelines which offer information on how to eat well with cancer. We also offer nutritional therapy sessions which allow the therapist to assess your personal situation and give nutritional advice accordingly.
The Bristol Approach to Healthy Eating
The Bristol Approach to Healthy Eating has been developed with the idea of supporting the general health and wellbeing of those with cancer. The recommendations can also be used by those wishing to reduce their risk of developing cancer.
The guidelines are informed by current evidence relating to nutrition and cancer, including the landmark 2007 World Cancer Research Fund report, Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective. In addition to research evidence, the guidelines are based on the experience of staff at Penny Brohn Cancer Care, who have been using nutrition to support those with cancer for 30 years.
The Bristol Approach to Supplements
The Bristol Approach to Supplements offers guidance for those wishing to take basic supplements as health insurance alongside a balanced diet. For those wishing to use supplements to support particular aspects of health we recommend you seek the advice of a nutritionally qualified health professional.
