Poor Nutrition

Causes & Contributing Factors

Deficiencies in certain nutrients also contribute to cancer-related fatigue by affecting the body’s energy production and delivery systems (e.g. anemia). Poor nutrition is shown to cause decreased energy levels, physical and mental performance, and immune function – leading to fatigue.
