Proper nutrition is important for everyone, but it is
absolutely essential for cancer patients. Malignant tumors drain your body of essential nutrients, so it is really important that, if you do have cancer, you are supplying your body with ample nutrition. Multivitamins are okay, but ask any doctor worth her own weight and she'll tell you that the best way to get vitamins and minerals is from food. I found this cereal the other day called Product 19, by Kellogg's, and it is essentially corn flakes on steroids. It is loaded with 100% of essential B vitamins and other nutrients, and eaten with banana slices, it is the perfect way to start your day right. It is low in fiber, which is good if you're on a low-residue diet (more on that later), but if you're inclined to up the fiber content a bit, some fresh blueberries or even almonds would work well.
