Get Enough Sleep<\/h2>\n<p>Taking time to rest and recharge is an essential part of managing mesothelioma and staying healthy overall.<\/p>\n<p>A study published in July 2024 showed that adequate sleep helps strengthen the immune system, which is key to fighting cancer. On the other hand, <strong>poor sleep (defined as less than 7 hours a night) is linked to a weakened immune response<\/strong> and may even help tumors grow and spread.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/treatment\/\">Mesothelioma treatments<\/a> like surgery and chemotherapy can be physically demanding. Your body needs time to recover, and rest is crucial for supporting the healing process.<\/p>\n<p>Get your copy of our <strong>Free Mesothelioma Guide<\/strong> to stay informed about the latest treatment options, top specialists, and valuable resources for patients and families.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Prioritize Nutrition and Hydration<\/h2>\n<p>Eating a well-balanced <a href=\"\/treatment\/diet-and-nutrition\/\">mesothelioma diet<\/a> rich in<strong> protein, healthy fats, and vitamins<\/strong> can help maintain strength and energy levels. By giving your body the proper nutrients, you can arm your immune system to fight back against this aggressive cancer and withstand the side effects of treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Drinking plenty of water is also essential, especially during treatments like chemotherapy and immunotherapy, which can cause dehydration and dry mouth.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout-shortcode\"><style type=\"text\/css\">.callout-shortcode{background:#EDF8F9;border-radius:0 10px 10px 0;padding:20px 20px 20px 24px;margin:40px 0;max-width:860px;position:relative}.callout-shortcode:before{content:\" \";position:absolute;top:0;bottom:0;width:4px;height:100%;left:0;background:linear-gradient(180deg, #0FAEBF 0%, #EDF8F9 100%)}.callout-shortcode .callout-shortcode-heading{color:#100134;font-size:22px;display:block;margin:0 0 15px}.callout-shortcode:first-child{margin-top:0}.callout-shortcode:last-child{margin-bottom:0}.callout-shortcode .img-wrap{margin-bottom:20px}.callout-shortcode.hope>strong{padding-top:17px;padding-bottom:15px;padding-left:74px}.callout-shortcode.hope .img-wrap{left:22px;position:absolute;top:20px;width:59px}.callout-shortcode.hope .img-wrap:before{background:#fff url(\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/mh-icon-65.png);background-position:center;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-size:70%;border-radius:30px;bottom:-10px;content:\"\";display:block;height:30px;position:absolute;right:-10px;width:30px}@media screen and (min-width: 768px){.callout-shortcode{padding:25px 25px 25px 34px}.callout-shortcode .callout-shortcode-heading{font-size:24px}.callout-shortcode .img-wrap{margin-bottom:0}.callout-shortcode.has-img{min-height:170px;padding-left:175px}.callout-shortcode.has-img .img-wrap{position:absolute;left:29px;top:25px;width:119px}.callout-shortcode.hope.has-img{padding-left:170px}.callout-shortcode.hope>strong{padding:0}.callout-shortcode.hope .img-wrap{width:109px}.callout-shortcode.hope .img-wrap:before{background-size:66%;bottom:-15px;height:42px;width:42px}}<\/style><div class=\"content\"><p>Download our <a href=\"\/nutrition-guide\/\"><strong>Free Nutrition Guide<\/strong><\/a> to get nutrition tips and meal ideas to manage symptoms and support your recovery.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h2>3.
