10 Best Healthy Drinks For Cancer Patients



If you have chosen to treat your cancer with chemotherapy and are experiencing side-effects like mouth sore, nausea, weight-loss, etc. or if your body is getting dehydrated due to diarrhoea resulting from radiation therapy, juicing (extraction of liquids from fruits and vegetables) is an option you should not ignore. By removing the insoluble fibre from the fruits and vegetables, it can be a great method to introduce nutrients into your body. It should be an imperative part of your cancer-fighting routine.

Before we discuss the 10 most healthy and nutritional drinks to help you fight cancer, let us tell you about the best way to raise funds for your cancer treatment, by crowdfunding in India. Cancer treatment can prove to be an unbearable series of medical bills for many of us, which is why fundraising in India provides you with a platform to gather the money from donations all over the world.

Fruits and vegetables like apples, tomatoes, berries, pineapples, carrots, broccoli, celery, pomegranates, and citrus fruits, and herbs and spices like ginger, turmeric, rosemary, parsley, dill, and mint are some of the food items you should include in your drinks.

If you are just looking to keep yourself dehydrated, what also counts as healthy drinks are broth, carbonated beverages, fruit juices, Italian ice, popsicles, gelatin, tea, water, nutritional supplements, children’s electrolyte drinks, pudding and soups. High-calorie, high-protein drinks, either commercially made or prepared at home, can help you maintain your weight and lean tissue mass. Protein shakes, fruit smoothies and fortified milk can be some drinks that can be made easily to provide you with necessary nutrition.

You should strive to drink 6 to 8 cups of fluid per day. Apart from these health drinks, do not forget the most indispensable drink of all- water. Make sure to keep a water bottle with you and take sips all through the day. Drink even when you are not too thirsty just to keep your body adequately hydrated.
