Natural Remedies: 5 fruits every cancer patient needs

Cancer is a treacherous disease, and its treatment is even worse.

Certain fruits do not only ameliorate the pain of cancer treatment but prevent the formation of cancer cells. 

Here are five of them:

The fibre in apples helps to make digestion easier.

Also, potassium in apples restores fluid balance. Apples prevent fluid retention. Fluid retention is a side effect of chemotherapy. This is when water accumulates in one part of your body and causes swelling. 

Cancer treatment can make swallowing difficult, but ripe berries offer an easy solution because they are soft. Strawberries are full of antioxidants which prevent cancer cells from growing. 

Chemotherapy causes memory and concentration problems. Blueberries help with limiting this type of damage because they contain lots of antioxidants and cancer-killing nutrients.

Cancer patients might experience diarrhoea because of the harsh treatments. Bananas contain pectin that quells a troubled stomach. They also possess electrolytes that give energy after vomiting.

Oranges have vitamin C which provides immunity against diseases and strengthens the immune system.

Vitamin C also reduces the growth and spread of cancer cells.
