When facing cancer, every bit of nourishment can be a powerful ally. Scientific research increasingly highlights the role of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and immune-boosting nutrients in supporting the body’s natural defenses.

Why Food Matters in Cancer Care
Cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation can place immense stress on the body, often resulting in fatigue, inflammation, and compromised immunity. A diet rich in phytonutrients—naturally occurring compounds found in fruits, vegetables, and certain herbs—can help:
- Combat Oxidative Stress: Antioxidants neutralise free radicals, which can damage cells.
- Reduce Inflammation: Chronic inflammation is linked to many diseases, including cancer. Anti-inflammatory foods may help manage or lower this risk.
- Support Immune Function: Vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients can strengthen the immune system.
- Improve Overall Vitality: Wholesome, nutrient-dense foods help maintain energy and aid recovery.
Always consult healthcare professionals for personalised advice, especially when introducing new foods or supplements during cancer treatment.
