The healing power of fruit and vegetable juices
The road to recovery isn’t always smooth. Although the right diet is essential for speeding up your recovery, eating may not be easy during some phases of your treatment.
Chemotherapy often causes nausea, stomach upsets, digestive problems, a severe loss of appetite, and painful inflammations of the mucous mem- branes in the mouth and digestive tract. As a result, you may eat much less than usual or nothing at all, despite the fact that a healthy diet is abso- lutely vital to aiding your recovery and supporting your immune system.
Drinking fruit and vegetable juices can offer a possible solution to this problem.
Juices contain concentrated essential nutrients in a liquid form, which are much easier to absorb. Unlike a normal (heavy) meal, the nutrients in juices do not have to be broken down in the stomach, but are rapidly digested and absorbed into the blood.
