Eating Well Can Make a Difference

Did you know that something as simple as eating well can change the course of HIV disease for the better? The food you eat can make a difference in how your body fights infection, how it reacts to medications and therapies, and how you feel.

Eating well is simple but not always easy for someone with the special needs of living with HIV and AIDS.

This is a time to take care of yourself. One of the first and best ways you can fight infections is through the food you eat.

This Web site will help you learn more about some basic things you can do to feel better and live longer. Use the information to ask your doctor and dietitian about your symptoms and the food that's best for you.

It's never too late to start eating well. The more you know now about good nutrition, exercise, vitamins, and combined medications, the sooner you can positively affect your health and your life.

There is hope, and you are not alone. Please share this information with family and friends who can help you or who may need it for themselves.

From all of us at Project Open Hand, we wish you hope, love, and good health.
