In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I would like to address what will help those who are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation.
Many times, these techniques will cause a person to lose their appetite, get nauseated, and even lose weight. When your loved one has no appetite, it can worry you because your wonder how are they getting their nutrients.
At the end of the day, they may not have the energy necessary to eat and eating truly becomes a task. A task that sometimes is too much to deal with and that leads them to starving.
Juices and smoothies are a great addition to their diet. In one juice, they are probably getting more nutrients from fruits and vegetables than they probably will eat in one day with a full appetite. The ability to drink something takes less energy and soothes them more.
You have a couple choices, if they need more fiber, adding the pulp in the juice is a great option. Then you have the option of making a smoothie.
With a smoothie, the capabilities are endless. You can add powders that cater to anything they need. You can add protein, echinacea to build immunity, super greens, fiber, bromelain, vitamins, and anything else that may be needed. If you are interested in new medical advancements for staying healthy then you can buy peptides online.
So, please keep in mind that juices and smoothies may be the God-sent answer to keeping them healthy and nutritious through the most trying time of their life. Keep in mind that what needs to be juiced or blended will depend on the patient, medications being taken, and what they are in need of.
