Maintain A Healthy Diet

Supporting the body by fueling it with healthful foods and beverages can help to speed healing or to manage some symptoms Cushing's syndrome may cause. Because diabetes may be an issue the Cushing's syndrome patient is dealing with, adopting a healthy diet can be extremely helpful. If a patient decides they want to maintain a healthy diet to ease some of the symptoms associated with Cushing's Syndrome, a doctor may be able to recommend an appropriate nutritionist.

Examples of a healthy, balanced diet including drinking lots of water, and consuming the right amount of protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates, including fresh vegetables and fruits, dairy in moderation, and whole grains. To maintain a healthy diet, patients should also restrict or avoid any processed foods, or foods with a high amount of sugar and sodium, such as carbonated drinks, candy, and potato chips.
