Radiation therapy helps treat cancer but can cause side effects like mouth sores, nausea, and appetite loss. Proper nutrition is essential to stay strong.

What to Eat During Radiation 

Fruit smoothie

Eat high-protein foods like eggs, paneer, lentils, and chicken. Include calorie-dense items such as nut butters, full-fat dairy, and avocados. Hydrate well with soups, smoothies, and coconut water. Soft foods like rice and porridge are easier to swallow.

Foods to Avoid 

Avoid spicy, acidic, and fried foods. Stay away from raw or undercooked meats, unpasteurized dairy, and unwashed fruits and vegetables to prevent infections. 

Food Safety Tips 

Always practice good food safety. Wash hands and surfaces, cook foods thoroughly, refrigerate leftovers, and avoid street food or buffets. 

Managing Side Effect

For mouth sores, choose yogurt and smoothies. If feeling nauseous, eat plain rice, toast, or bananas. Drink plenty of water to manage dry mouth.
