Hello As your mother is undergoing chemotherapy, nutrious diet is to be given. Please avoid packed tetra pack juices instead give her freshly made juice at home. Avoid extra sugar and salt. Don't give pickles and processed foods. Give her leafy green vegetables, fresh fruits and vegetables. Nuts and seeds are very healthy. Thanks, take care.

Hello. Yes, you can give nuts & seeds, fruits, fresh fruit juices and use hing for preparations. Remember to not use packaged ones, they might have many additives in them that can have interactions with medications. But again, this can also depend on the type/kind of medication given. Whole, home-cooked foods are always a better option to use instead of ultra-processed substitutes. Also, it is important for us to know the type of cancer, the treatment, other medical conditions and current health status to give specific food recommendations. So, it would be better if you could get in touch with us to personalize your mother's diet plan to improve her health condition.

All are ok except for kiwi fruit, and any other green leafy vegetables as they contain a lot of folic acid, which cannot be given at the time of chemotherapy. For detailed discussion please contact directly through calls
