Gifts for Cancer Patients

Looking for gift ideas for someone with cancer? Our unique cancer get well gift baskets are designed especially for helping cancer patients battle cancer, and they go well beyond the get well message by focusing on helping the patient heal. Filled with delicious, cancer-fighting, and immune system-boosting foods, our get well baskets offer hope and a sense of empowerment that healthful eating can and does aid the body in fighting the battle against cancer. Our Cancer Fighting Get Well Gift Basket, for instance, contains organic green tea--green Tea contains the antioxidant EGCG which sets in motion cell death in cancer cells, not healthy ones. EGCG may also enhance the body's natural antioxidant system which encourages the elimination of damaging free radicals. Other preliminary research indicates that green tea can help to combat breast, stomach, and skin cancer. In addition, our Cancer Patient Snacker Gift Basket includes foods rich in beta-carotene which can help counter the effects of free-radicals and may prevent, or even reverse, some precancerous conditions. Carotenoids may inhibit the growth of cancer cells, and studies suggest that high food intakes of alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin reduce the risk for lung cancer. Cryptoxanthin and alpha-carotene have been found to decrease the chance of developing cervical cancer and are found in food such as apricots, carrots, corn, acorn squash, spinach, sweet potatoes, and sweet red peppers. Other cancer-fighting snacks include antioxidant-rich blueberries, cherries, strawberries, and apples; almonds (almonds may reduce risk of bladder, lung, prostate, cervical, and colon cancer); and, everyone's favorite, chocolate. We definitely load our cancer baskets up with these goodies! The fucoidan in kelp has been shown in studies to have the ability to induce apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells, and we have a delicious crunchy seaweed snack that even kids love! So, if you know someone battling cancer, don't feel overwhelmed with how to send get well wishes--with our cancer-fighting gift baskets, you're sure to send the right message that will be appreciated for its thoughtfulness and helpfulness.
