Balancing Work & Cancer Webinar: Strategies for Eating Well on the Job

Maintaining a balanced diet while juggling work and cancer is key to maintaining energy levels, managing symptoms at work and feeling better overall. However, between treatment-related challenges (such as restricted diets, medication schedules, etc.) and workplace challenges (such as limited time, stress and unreliable storage options), doing so is often easier said than done. In this session we will explore the unique nutritional needs of working cancer survivors and practical solutions for healthy eating during the workday. We’ll discuss: 

  • How proper nutrition and eating habits can help you manage treatment side-effects on the job
  • Best practices for planning and preparing meals for your workdays
  • Tips for getting around obstacles to eating healthy at the office
  • And more!
