Protein picks. Chicken breast is a good quality lean protein that is rich in B-vitamins, selenium and phosphorous. The combination of these nutrients is ideal for preserving muscle mass, improving bone strength, and supporting the immune system. All of which are important for recovery from cancer treatment.
Mango benefits. Mangoes have an impressive nutrient profile. One cup (165 grams) provides 2/3rds of our daily needs for vitamin C, 1/5th of our daily needs for copper and folate as well as 2.6 grams of soluble fiber. They also are a good source of several health protective plant compounds like polyphenols that act as antioxidants. Antioxidants help prevent damage to cells leading to illness.
Fresh or frozen? Go for both! Frozen vegetables are an easy, nutritious, and low-cost option to have on hand. Flash freezing captures nutrients as they are freshly picked.
