Do you ever get halfway through a meal and not want to take another bite because you’re bored of the taste? This is what is known as flavor fatigue. Being bored with the taste of foods can make it more difficult to get the good nutrition your body needs during recovery. The loss of taste that some treatments bring can also make it harder to find flavours you enjoy.
Your body uses up more energy than usual during cancer treatments. Getting adequate nutrition can help you feel better.
Although you should never force yourself to eat when you’re feeling nauseous, it’s important to eat regularly and maintain good nutrition to help prevent it.
Being bored with the taste of foods can lead to eating less, weight loss, and poor nutritional status — all of which can affect your recovery.
Add some spice and extra nutrition to your everyday rice.
