Nutritional medicine
- Nutritional counseling based on nutritional analysis
- Nutritional recommendations according to a mixed diet, taking into account the general knowledge of nutrition in a tumor disease. This means:
- Consume only limited energy-rich foods.
- Moderate total fat intake
- Little red meat (pork, beef, lamb, veal) and sausages.
- Once or twice a week fresh sea fish, ie fatty marine fish (omega-3 fatty acids) such as salmon, herring, mackerel.
