 DIET
& NUTRITION
CRITICAL
FOR CANCER CARE
Nutrition
and diet are very important when you are healthy, but they become
critical when your body is under attack from Cancer.
The
NutritionVista team realized there was a vacuum in providing
tools & resources to help patients and their oncologists
manage a patient’s diet and nutrition prior to, during
and post treatment.
An
effort was made to research and come up with user friendly,
practical tools that would allow the caregiver and doctors to
work closely with the patient by keeping a constant track of
the patients dietary requirements and actual intakes. By helping
the patient anticipate their cycle of side effects and learn
to deal with them before they escalate, would prove to be the
greatest benefit.
The
Diet Guidance System menu plans for cancer patients are carefully
thought out menu plans by our dietitians to enable the patient
to follow them easily, and are based on the knowledge that patients
need to eat a balanced diet with the right nutrients, portion
sizes and frequency.
The
NutritionVista dietitians can further customize the menu plans
to the patient’s personal preferences and cultural needs,
simultaneously addressing the debilitating side effects that
often repeat with consecutive treatment cycles. |
| |
| At
Diagnosis & During Treatment: |
| |
| 1. |
Evaluate
the patient’s diet to help prepare the
patient for treatment. |
| 2. |
Record
and maintain a ‘Daily Food Diary’
for the patient. |
| 3. |
Make
necessary corrections with guidance and support
from well-trained dietitians depending on
the patient’s daily condition and treatment
cycle. Use the ‘Symptom-Tracker’
to note down the side effects and
symptoms daily. |
| 4. |
Manage
and save blood reports conveniently to provide
the oncologist with all relevant patient information
in one location. |
| 5. |
Generate,
and then print or email to your oncologist,
a diet and symptom report every week. |
|
| Cancer
Care is a team effort. NutritionVista has developed
these innovative tools to help patients, their oncologists
and dietitians improve patient outcomes. |
