Description: You can help yourself to get ready for cancer treatment by trying to eat a wide range of foods in the right proportions, also called a varied diet. This includes eating enough protein, calories and other nutrients. Eating a varied diet is one part of prehabilitation. This is a programme of advice and support that can help to prepare you for treatment. The other parts are being physically active and looking after your mental wellbeing. Research says that focussing on certain lifestyle changes in whatever time you have before treatment starts can help you cope better with its side effects and improve your long term health. This video is about the universal interventions of prehab - meaning they are for anyone affected by cancer.
