Neutropenic Precaution #9: Eat Well
One key to fighting off disease is to give the immune system all it needs to fight off bacteria and other pathogens. Although the immune system of somebody with neutropenia is not as strong as that of other people, they can still help themselves by supporting their natural defenses as much as they can.
Vitamins are well known to bolster the immune system, so you should be eating plenty of fruits and vegetables. In addition, protein will help your body to heal as quickly as possible while plenty of calories will give your body the energy it needs to fight back.
