If you or a loved one is fighting cancer, it's essential to know that your food choices can help the outcome of your treatments.
Now, you're probably thinking you will have to spend money and time looking around for fresh, organic food.
You're wrong.
Instead, focusing on certain food groups will be more beneficial than worrying about if you can eat the fruit you purchased from a local grocery store. Picking certain foods over others will help you replenish your body while undergoing treatments.
The first thing you want to do while undergoing treatment is finding foods with a detox benefit. You not only want to detox from the cancer itself, but the chemotherapy and radiation that can be toxic and cause unfavorable side effects to your body.
Some detox foods to look for in order to help restore your body are those high in vitamin B. Vitamin B is located in all sorts of fruits and veggies, and the darker the color, the higher level and the better for you. Artichoke has been shown to help the liver de-congest and help fight off harmful toxins.
Dr. Mike will discuss five ways to replenish your body with food, as well as which foods to add to your diet during you or your loved one's journey through cancer treatment.
What You Want To Accomplish by Picking Optimal Foods to Eat:
1. Detox
2. Control inflammation
3. Improve immune system
4. Promote healthy cell growth
5. Make sure the cancer doesn't spread
