Bariatric patients often face unique health challenges, including a higher likelihood of urinary incontinence due to increased pressure on the bladder and pelvic floor.

But beyond the physical symptoms, the emotional impact can be just as significant. Stigma can make people reluctant to seek help, which is why empathy and understanding in healthcare are so important.

Malnutrition is a common but often overlooked part of the cancer journey. In fact, it’s estimated that up to 80% of people with cancer experience malnutrition at some stage.

Cancer and treatment can make it difficult to eat well — appetite changes, nausea, fatigue and taste changes can all affect intake. When the body isn’t getting enough nutrition, it can impact energy levels, strength, recovery and overall quality of life.

The good news is that nutrition support can help. For some people, oral nutritional supplements are a practical way to increase energy and protein when eating enough is challenging.

World Cancer Day is a time to acknowledge the strength it takes to live with cancer, and the care it takes to support someone through it.

For many people, cancer and treatment can make eating difficult. Appetite may change, meals can feel like a struggle, and weight loss can happen quickly. When the body isn’t getting the nourishment it needs, it can affect energy, strength and day-to-day wellbeing.

Nutrition support can make a real difference. For some people, nutritional supplements can be a helpful way to add extra energy and protein when eating enough is hard.
