Orange juice with acerola is a home remedy that can help complement the treatment of leukemia, which is a type of cancer of the blood. These ingredients are rich in vitamin C, which strengthen the body's defenses, making the body stronger in the face of infections.
Leukemia is a serious disease that must be treated with the medications indicated by the oncologist, and during that phase it is not recommended to take medicinal teas or consume antioxidants, which are apparently harmless because they may decrease the effect of chemotherapy, aggravating the disease.
How to make
Ingredients
- 2 handfuls of acerola
- 1 glass of orange juice
Method of preparation
Put the ingredients in the blender and beat until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. Drink 2 glasses of juice a day, without sugar.
Another option is to include at least 1 vitamin C-rich food in the diet, such as strawberry, orange, tangerine, pineapple, kiwi or sweet peppers. These fruits increase the body's defenses and may aid in well-being during treatment. However, these home remedies do not replace the medications and treatments indicated by the oncologist.
