Where Does Juicing Fit in Cancer Nutrition?

Juicing is one of those nutrition topics that often generates quite strong and polar opinions.

Some people see it as an essential part of supporting their health. Others see it as completely unnecessary and question whether it’s worth the time, energy or expense.

The right answer is the one that works for you.

If you’re able to eat plenty of whole fruit and vegetables, that’s the best place to put your energy. You get the fibre alongside the vitamins, minerals and beneficial plant compounds found in the whole fruit and vegetables.

Whether you choose to add juicing depends on a range of factors, including what you’re able to manage, your appetite, your digestion, the time and energy you have, your budget and, importantly, whether it’s something you actually want to do!

I’ve created this guide to help you think through some of the potential benefits and practical considerations.

Juicing can be another way of adding nutrients to your diet.

It can be something you add if you enjoy it, rather than something you have to do.
