Protein is essential to maintaining muscle during cancer
This video highlights the importance of protein in maintaining muscle strength, especially in cancer patients. Due to the effects of cancer on the body, patients may need up to double the usual amount of protein.
In cases where a patient’s appetite declines, it may be difficult for them to get enough protein through food alone. Healthcare professionals may recommend oral nutritional supplements (ONS) to help patients meet their daily protein needs. Combined with regular exercise, ONS can support patients in gradually rebuilding muscle mass and strength.
