Some cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, can affect the way the body processes nutrients, and certain Nestle products may not be appropriate during these times.
In general, Nestle products such as Ensure and Boost provide extra protein, vitamins, and minerals and can often be beneficial for cancer patients who are experiencing weight loss or malnutrition. They can provide extra calories and important nutrients that help support the body's healing process. However, some Nestle products may have added sugars or saturated fats which may not be suitable for those managing any weight-related concerns or those facing a cancer diagnosis.
It is always advisable to speak with a nutritionist or a healthcare professional who is familiar with the patient's condition and treatment plan to understand which Nestle products, if any, are appropriate, and in what quantities. They can make specific recommendations based on the individual's nutritional needs and any potential risk factors associated with their cancer diagnosis or treatment.
