New research shows that eating oranges and bananas in the first two years of life showed a strong protective effect against the risk of leukemia in children.
The British charity Children with Cancer UK stated that there are 12 main groups of cancers that can affect children, from leukemia – which affects 30 per cent of children with the disease – to lymphomas, and the causative factors include: genetic predisposition, exposure to radiation, And infection, chemicals, and two types of fruits, oranges and bananas, can greatly help in preventing disease, according to the UAE 24 website.
Cancer Research UK has warned that the symptoms of cancer can be very similar to the symptoms of other childhood diseases, and therefore, it is best to have a doctor examine the child if he has any of some of the symptoms, and if the child sees blood in his urine, this is a cause for concern, It is also important to seek medical advice if the child is no longer able to urinate at all.
Any unexplained lump, hardness or swelling should also be checked by a medical professional. Another problematic sign is abdominal pain or swelling that does not go away, this pain can extend to the back or bones, as well as pain that wakes a young child during the night.
