Eating For Health: What to Eat with Multiple Myeloma

A cancer diagnosis is an unsettling and unnerving time. From researching treatments to finding out how to adjust your life to fit your diagnosis, it can be stressful to figure out how to best take care of yourself.

However, in addition to medication and treatment, diet adjustments play a vital role in staying healthy.

With a multiple myeloma diagnosis, it is essential to eat a diet rich in micronutrients that specifically help with bodily functions. Read these tips on how to be mindful in your diet adjustments and eat for better health.

Iron

Since multiple myeloma is cancer within blood plasma, it is essential to consume iron.

The malignant plasma cells may start to outnumber your healthy blood cells, causing anemia.

To avoid this, eat foods high in iron to maintain red blood cell levels. Red meats, beans, lentils, and leafy greens are especially high in iron and can fit into any diet. If meat is not in your diet, make sure to eat a substantial volume of beans and leafy greens to ensure you are getting the micronutrients you need.

Vitamins and Minerals

Multiple myeloma can make it difficult to eat or wipes your appetite completely. This can cause you to be deficient in many micronutrients that are needed for healthy bodily functioning.

If you cannot get these through a balanced diet, then consider taking supplements under the advice of a doctor. In addition to iron, vitamin D and fish oil make a difference in how you feel throughout the day. Both of these nutrients aid in bone health.
