“Go, Grow & Glow with Nutrition”, in nutrition parlance means 3 basic food groups:
Go food, Grow food & Glow food.
Go – these are groups of food that provide body heat & energy. They are rich in carbohydrates & fats.
Grow- these are groups of food that build and repair body cells & tissues. These foods are rich in proteins.
Glow – these are groups of food that regulate and protect the human body. These are rich in minerals &vitamins.
We know that patients go through tremendous pain during the whole treatment, right from the diagnosis to the closure of the file.
This book is written in very understandable language alongside colourful pictures.
It will be an interesting read for the patients and their family members as well.
For the patients, this will also serve as a record book to note down their own pathological test readings, body symptoms and observations relating to the diets, given at the end of the book for their own reference.
This book will be useful for patients fighting cancer at every stage. It is intended to keep the morale of the patients high by helping them in getting proper “nutritional” guidance and support during their mighty fight.
The book is a good therapeutic aid as it also touches upon the role of nutrition and nutrients in controlling severity of some of the symptoms of cancer. We all know that in such a major fight, one needs support of specialists in various fields. The role of a clinical nutritionist is also touched upon in this book.
Certain complex information regarding the disease, its causation and management as well as therapeutic and preventive contribution of
nutrition, is nicely presented in the form of simple colourful charts, which are both easy to understand and quite informative. Various types of complex information are presented in such a way that the facts become obvious and the myths are removed. The book gives, in simple terms, authentic informative tips and recommendations related to nutrition and cancer.
We all know that good nutrition makes us feel better, strong and energetic. We can maintain our body shape and weight. Good nutrition boosts our immunity to fight both cancer and the infections that often cause much morbidity and significant mortality in patients with cancer. Selection of proper food and the process of good cooking that preserves its nutritive value go a long way in this regard. With the help of selection of proper food not only nutrition is maintained but also some of the painful side effect of treatment like anorexia, loss of taste, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation and weakness can be alleviated. Boosting immunity helps patients to recover faster from dreadful infections and the processes of healing and recovery become speedier too.
May this colourful book add colours to the lives of patients, their relatives and caretakers. I wish all the best to its presenter, Smt. Heena Jitesh Shah all success in her crusade to fight ill effects of cancer as an expert professional
