0 Bowel cancer

A working colleague has just been diagnosed with a tumour in the bowel and needs surgery urgently. I advised her to boost her immune system as much she could before the operation. This would mean taking high doses of vitamin C, up to 10grams per day. Also eating as much as possible, the superfoods below.

Super foods that are rich in antioxidants include:

• Prunes
• Apples
• Raisins
• All berries
• Plums
• Red grapes
• Alfalfa sprouts
• Onions
• Eggplant
• Beans

Vitamins aren’t the only antioxidants in food. Other antioxidants that may help boost immunity include:

• Zinc: Found in oysters, red meat, poultry, beans, nuts, seafood, whole grains, fortified cereals, and dairy products
• Selenium: Found in Brazil nuts, tuna, beef, poultry and fortified breads, and other grain products.
  
  We all wish her the best of luck, and hope to see her back in work, before long.
  
  All above info would need to be cleared with her consultant first.
