Chemo diet
My mother is getting weekly chemotherapy plus everyday radiation.. I asked the doctor about the diet and he said eat everything after washing even fruits.. Is this true? Can I give my mother raw fruits like apples, pomegranate, orange and kiwi? Also can she eat overnight soaked almonds and walnuts and dates and raisins?
Please reply this question, It would really help us a lot 🙏

A healthy diet preferably personalised diet is required for your mother at this juncture.
Most of the items mentioned can be consumed but the quantity, time of consumption everything needs to be considered for your mother s condition.
You could consult with me directly for personal diet for your mother.
All this can be done only if I know her age, height, weight other complications etc.

Hi,
Yes she may take soaked nuts in moderation. She can take balanced meals comprising all nutrients. Avoid mostly raw foods. Fruits should be soft, pulpy & juicy. You can also give the fruits in mashed forms as well. Thanks

Hello
All fruits are fine after washing thoroughly. Focus more on high calorie nutrient dense foods like homemade nut and seeds laddoos, ragi porridge, dates with milk, paneer sabji with rotis, homemade gur and til chikki to avoid weight loss.
