Fewer Side Effects of Chemotherapy by Diet During and After Chemotherapy


Why cancer cells are formed and how to safely get rid of them is still being researched? One of the most used methods of treatment is chemotherapy. Furthermore, this treatment affects the patient, creating numerous unwanted side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and weight loss. To minimize these side effects, it is important that the auxiliary body with proper nutrition during chemotherapy.


During treatment, chemotherapy creates excessive toxins in the body. A healthy body does its best to eliminate toxins, but a body that is already weakened by cancer, are compromised in their ability to remove excess toxins created due to chemotherapy. Thus, during chemotherapy, we need a specific diet that should serve two purposes; first helps the body eliminate toxins and, according to the plan itself should not create more toxins.

Another perspective on cancer from a natural medical system Ayurveda is that cancer is the result of all three doshas, ​​Vata, Pitta and Kapha (Air, Fire, Earth and Energy) out of balance in our body. These energies may be unbalanced due to the growth of cancer cells and an increase in toxins in the body. The problem is that the body does not really know what to do with these irregular cancer cells. In a healthy body these irregular cells are regularly destroyed and driven out with toxins. However, when the number of cancer cells increases, the body's natural ability to expel them may not keep up with them. As washing toxins can be obtained through the diet, but it has not been determined with precision as diet aids in preventing the growth of new cancer cells. Surprisingly, in some patients with cancer growth stops and some others do not. Ayurveda Cancer Research in India has found a future benefit system by reducing the intensity of some of the side effects of chemotherapy:

- A vegetarian diet based on bitter greens
