Keeping Healthy when Chemotherapy takes its toll.....

Having to go through Chemotherapy is double edged sword, on the one hand its going to fight the cancer but the other side is that its going to damage some of your healthly cells.....  One of the biggest problems is the tiredness that you can face, even walking from one room to another can be too much at times. 

There were two things that I relied upon to help my energy levels, one was juicing - I would have an apple and carrot juice daily.  I also took supplements, the majority of them from Neways who dedicate themselves to making superior products that are easily disgestable like Maximol, something you need when chemo is taking its toll. 

Details of these products can be found on http://www.healthplan.ineways.eu/

Juicing just once a day with a simple receipe of 3 apples and 2 carrots will help maintain order in the intestines, they are great detoxifiers. Carrot juice is a super nutrient, with lots of beta-carotene in a natural form that has been reported to go after cancer cells for quite a while now. Beta carotene is turned into vitamin A by the body. There is no risk of ovedose as with taking vitamin A pills. The body will make what it needs and no more. Manufactured products do not do the same job. Carrots are also high in minerals and when they are juiced all their nutrients are more accessible. 

Apples can also be a primary source of soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber is a great way to prevent cholesterol build-up, which is found in the lining of blood vessel walls. This reduces the chance of atherosclerosis and heart disease. The insoluble fiber in apples provides bulk in the intestinal track. The water is then held and used to cleanse the intestinal track and moves food rapidly through the digestive system. Apple juice is a powerful cleanser and an important necessity for the health of your body. 

This juice combination is especially good for the liver, skin and is also taken as part of the Gerson Cancer plan.

The nutritional benefits of drinking a glass of fresh juice far outweigh that which you get by drinking packaged juice, so make the effort to go for fresh juice.  When should you drink juice? Ideally, the best time to drink a glass of juice would be a minimum of 20 minutes before a meal. Don’t gulp it down. Juices should be sipped slowly as the enzymes in our saliva digest the carbohydrates present in our juices.
