This section has pages that explain the role of nutrient and diet for the person with a brain tumour. Caring for your friend or relative might mean that you take on extra responsibilities for their nutrition and diet. Having a balanced and nutritious diet will help keep both of you in the best possible physical condition.
In this section, we first look at the basics of diet and meal preparation for people with brain tumours. Then we consider potential changes in weight as a result of brain tumour and treatment, such as weight loss and weight gain. We look at some trustworthy resources on nutrition and diet and diet claims to be wary of (e.g. claims that some diets will cure cancer). Finally, we consider the benefits of exercise and recreation for both carers and patients.
