Anti-inflammatory antioxidants, little meat, lots of vegetables and good oils: the aftercare menu should be wholesome and contain lots of fresh, unprocessed foods in order to provide plenty of vital substances.
Nutrition cannot replace traditional medicine, especially in the field of cancer medicine. However, nutritional support in breast cancer aftercare serves as an “adjuvant” strategy, that is, as an aid to strengthen the body. To regain energy in a healthy way, you can use Mediterranean cuisine as a guide: lots of good oils – such as olive oil -, vegetables and fish, as well as nuts rich in vital substances. Pizza and pasta, on the other hand, are not meant, because too many carbohydrates – for example from sweet things, but also from light bread or pasta – can promote chronic inflammatory processes and make you tired. Whole grain products that provide lots of gut-friendly fiber are better. The Nordic diet also provides a healthy selection of dishes.
Eating gut-healthy and anti-inflammatory foods to strengthen the body
Antioxidants and other plant substances support metabolism and strengthen the immune system. A green smoothie, for example, provides many anti-inflammatory substances – depending on individual tolerance. However, it should contain more vegetables and herbs than fruit rich in sugar.
Flax and almond flour as well as spices such as oregano, chili, black pepper, cardamom, turmeric, cinnamon and ginger, coffee and other foods also provide antioxidant substances. They can all be easily integrated into your daily diet. You should also try to consume enough omega-3 fatty acids. They are found particularly in certain seeds, nuts and their oils (linseed, hemp, walnut), in algae oil and in fatty sea fish.
