What is the best diet for oral cancer patients? What foods should you eat after cancer treatment for a faster recovery? In this video, Dr Chirag Chamria, an expert oral and maxillofacial surgeon, explains the importance of nutrition for oral cancer patients and how a proper diet can aid in healing, boost immunity, and prevent recurrence.
Understanding Nutrition in Oral Cancer Treatment
Oral cancer treatment often involves surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, which can take a toll on the body. A well-structured diet plan before, during, and after treatment plays a crucial role in recovery and long-term well-being. Dr Chirag Chamria provides a comprehensive guide on:
Pre-Treatment Nutrition – A high-protein, low-carb, and low-sugar diet with fruits, fruit juices, and leafy greens is recommended to prepare the body.
Diet During Treatment – IV carbohydrates for immediate energy, followed by a fat and protein-rich diet to support tissue repair and healing.
Post-Treatment Nutrition – A balanced diet with the right proportion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins to maintain health and reduce the risk of recurrence.
Key Dietary Recommendations for Oral Cancer Patients:
High-protein foods (lean meats, eggs, dairy, legumes, nuts)
Healthy fats (avocados, olive oil, nuts, seeds)
Antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables
Hydrating fluids and fresh juices
Low-sugar, low-carb meal plans
Why is Nutrition Important for Oral Cancer Recovery?
Many patients overlook the importance of nutrition during cancer treatment, but maintaining proper nutrient levels (including monitoring salt levels through blood reports) is crucial for optimal recovery and treatment response. Clinical nutritionists play a vital role in customizing meal plans based on individual patient needs and home settings.
