Instead of large portions, it is worth eating 5-6 small but nutritious meals a day. This helps avoid the feeling of satiety and provides the body with the necessary nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBoost\u201d the caloric value of meals by adding healthy fats \u2013 avocado, olive oil, flaxseed oil, hemp oil, evening primrose oil or sesame paste (tahini). A good idea for a second breakfast, for example, would be a pudding with chia seeds, which are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids with anti-inflammatory properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drinking enough water and light herbal infusions helps prevent dehydration, which can worsen a lack of appetite. It is also worth choosing vegetable and fruit cocktails, which simultaneously hydrate and provide vitamins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adding ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, basil or mint to your meals can aid digestion and improve appetite. Lightly seasoning your dishes makes them more aromatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avoiding heavy and fatty foods helps avoid feeling full. It is worth choosing light cream soups, vegetable purees, cooked\/stewed vegetables\/fruits, white rice. Remember to provide an adequate supply of protein. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even a short walk can stimulate your appetite, improve your mood and support your metabolism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stress and anxiety can increase the lack of appetite. The help of a psycho-oncologist or support of loved ones can help improve the quality of life and the desire to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In some cases, protein supplements can be helpful. However, it is worth consulting a doctor or dietitian before using them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
