Confused about eating and drinking
Morning all, I have seen different things on what is good to eat to help keep you going and to keep stronger, and also about drinking alcohol if you should stop all together or have 2 a day? ...
Lucky @kezmusc! One of the first things I went off during chemo was wine - tasted vile. Six months with virtually no alcohol (a sip or two of champagne was possible) probably explained why I lost ten kilos. In an (moderately successful) attempt to keep it off I have upped my no alcohol days considerably and become a de- alcoholised wine ‘expert’ instead. No, it’s not the same but it’s a glass of something appropriate with a meal or in the evening. As no doctor actually recommends alcohol (as distinct from saying one glass may do no harm or interract with anything) a reduced intake may be beneficial for other reasons too. But the occasional glass of the real stuff is still a pleasure.
