Thanksgiving was upon us and of course the major part is the dinner. But if one of your family or guests are suffering from mesothelioma and undergoing treatment, you could change how you prepare the dinner.
Radiation and chemotherapy, used to fight mesothelioma as well as other cancers, can change the patient’s sense of taste as well as their appetite, making some foods, which they used to love, unappetizing.
The ideal for those people undergoing mesothelioma treatment is to give them what are called super foods which help to fight cancer and introduce them into your Thanksgiving menu. These include mushrooms, pumpkins, cranberries and pomegranate.
Mushrooms and pomegranates help to block the hormones that make some cancers grow and spread. And in addition, according to the American Cancer Society, shiitake mushrooms especially, fight the progression of cancer by boosting the body’s immune system. So try and introduce some shitake mushrooms and make delicious mushroom gravy.
Pomegranates are rich in antioxidants so can also help those fighting cancer and one serving of cranberries provides at least 10 percent of the recommended daily amount of vitamin C and fiber, both of which are linked to reducing the risk of cancer. Add some pomegranates to your cranberry sauce.
And of course don’t forget the all important pumpkin pie.
