National Nutrition Month at North East Cancer Hospital and Research Institute
September 12, 2025
The North East Cancer Hospital and Research Institute (NECHRI), Guwahati proudly observes National Nutrition Month, September 2025, with the theme “Eat Right for Better Life.†This initiative highlights the vital role of nutrition in preventing lifestyle-related diseases and supporting patients undergoing cancer treatment.
Nutrition plays a crucial role in cancer care. For patients undergoing therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery, proper diet helps in faster recovery, maintaining immunity, and reducing side effects. At NECHRI, expert dietitians provide personalized guidance to ensure that every patient receives the right balance of nutrients essential for healing and long-term well-being.
The hospital emphasizes that nutrition for cancer patients is not just about food intake, but about strengthening the body to fight disease and improve quality of life. Fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein-rich foods are encouraged as part of a balanced diet. Avoiding processed and junk foods further helps reduce inflammation and improves treatment outcomes.
Observing National Nutrition Month also spreads awareness in the community. A healthy diet benefits not only those undergoing cancer treatment but also the general population in preventing obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and even lowering the risk of certain cancers.
As a leading centre for cancer care in North East India, NECHRI continues its mission to combine advanced cancer treatment with holistic patient support, where diet and lifestyle play an equally important role.
The hospital encourages everyone to adopt the motto – Eat Right for Better Life – for a healthier tomorrow.
