Many diseases bow to good nutrition practice…..and then came Cancer, (especially in developed stages)!
If you have watched those zombie movies, where once bitten, a person looses their identify?
They lose recognition of others, of pain… and only have one heightened desire to drink blood …. The Thirst!
They refuse to die unless a bullet is put through the brain( hey is it brain or heart 🤦🏾♀️)
The ‘zombie gene’ infiltrates the core and overtakes bodily functions, overrides all the rules of humanity and holds the whole body at ransom, yes?

For cancer,a rogue society is built, where by….
👉The cells don’t respect the boundaries of their neighbors (lack of contact inhibition and adhesiveness,hence becoming invasive)
👉The old cells refuse to die so the young ones can carry on, (lack ability to control apoptosis)
👉 They keep growing and keep going (lack proliferative control)
And
👉 Compete with their own kins instead of working together (Lack ability to differentiate, hence creating parallel body systems e.g blood cells, hormones, enzymes, blood vessels)
And most devastating for hashtag#nutritionists….
👉Defiant to rules and regulations (Altered metabolism 😭😭)
Imagine when digestion, absorption and assimilation is disturbed, would more food matter?

While nutritional management is essential in cancer care, it is often not enough to fully address cancer cachexia. A hashtag#multidisciplinary_approach, including medical treatments, exercise, and psychological support, is often necessary to manage this complex condition effectively.
P.S Read the next post on how Altered metabolism inhibits nutritional management.
