Deluxe Cancer Patient Get Well Gift Basket
A balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and fiber is crucial in preventing and combating cancer. In our Deluxe Cancer Fighting Basket, we've selected some of the most powerful dietary weapons known to researchers.
Foods rich in beta-carotene can help counter the effects of free-radicals and may prevent, or even reverse, some precancerous conditions. Apricots are such a food, so we've provided a delicious dried apricot snack to enjoy.
For a powerful cancer-fighting meal, enjoy the organic spinach pasta with the artichoke pesto. Artichokes have great cancer-fighting properties, and our Artichoke Pesto can be used as a dip as well.
Diets containing high amounts of vitamin E are thought to be associated with a reduced risk of breast, colon, prostate, and possibly other cancers. In addition to its antioxidant actions, vitamin E may enhance the immune system’s ability to neutralize cell damage that can contribute to cancer. Food sources include avocados, almonds, broccoli, sunflower seeds, brazil nuts, peanuts, and mangoes.
Green Tea contains the antioxidant EGCG which sets in motion cell death in cancer cells, not healthy ones. EGCG may also enhance the body's natural antioxidant system which encourages the elimination of damaging free radicals. Other preliminary research indicates that green tea can help to combat breast, stomach, and skin cancer.
For snacks we've included powerful anti-cancer foods such as dried blueberries, almonds, walnuts, and, everyone's favorite, chocolate. Almonds are also showing quite a bit of cancer-fighting promise, especially with regard to colon, lung, and prostate cancer. The Dr. Lankin's Awesome Almonds® we've included contain the cancer-fighting phytochemicals your body needs and a delicious flavor you'll love!
Lastly, as cherries are rich in queritrin, a powerful cancer-fighting agent. They also boast analgesic properties that may assist cancer patients in dealing with pain.
