Some foods are a big no-no in the first year of your life after prostate cancer treatment. What foods should you avoid? Avoid spicy food since it can cause discomfort and nausea; many of the painkillers you take already cause nausea and eating spicy foods only accent the feeling. Drinking sodas should be limited because of the gases they contain; you’ll find yourself wanting to scream in pain from burping and passing gas. Beans also have a similar effect, so make sure to limit them in your diet. Avoiding junk food is also advisable because of its high sugar, you will find yourself more prone to mood swings – due to sugar crashes – which could accentuate any worries or depression you may have. Healthy diets rich in herbs can help your recovery not to mention cleanse your body from previous toxics.
