Serve Small Portions on Large Plates to Control Nausea

If dealing with nausea is a daily battle for your parent with cancer, try this appetite-triggering trick: serve a small portion of food on a large plate. It may be an optical illusion, but this tactic can trick his mind into thinking he’s not eating much, which suppresses nausea. The opposite is also true: never fill a whole plate with food, which can be discouraging and, yes, nauseating. When every bite counts, make it easier for him to take just a few.
