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:
1. Apples
The fiber 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.

2. Strawberries
Cancer treatment can make swallowing difficult, but ripe berries offer an easy solution because they are soft. Strawberries are full of antioxidants that prevent cancer cells from growing.
3. Blueberries
Chemotherapy causes memory and concentration problems. Blueberries help with limiting this type of damage because they contain lots of antioxidants and cancer-killing nutrients.
4. Bananas
Cancer patients might experience diarrhea because of the harsh treatments. Bananas contain pectin that quells a troubled stomach. They also possess electrolytes that give energy after vomiting.
5. Oranges
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.
