Broth

Chemotherapy causes taste changes, and water is usually said to taste different. The broth is an excellent way to stay hydrated in these situations. It's made by simmering vegetables, herbs, meat or poultry, as well as bones, in water.

Electrolytes are released into the fluid during this process. These charged particles, which include nutrients like sodium, potassium, chloride, and calcium, aid in maintaining optimal body function. If you're losing electrolytes from vomit, sweat, or diarrhea, sipping broth can help. You may add chicken, tofu, or vegetables to your broth if you have the appetite. If you have mouth sores, puréeing this mixture will make it easier to eat. Add a teaspoon of flavorless protein powder, such as collagen powder, for extra nutrients, especially if you're experiencing dry mouth or a lack of appetite. If you're suffering nausea or vomiting, keep your broth simple and clear, and sip slowly. The broth is ideal in these situations since it is low in fiber and hence easy to digest.
