Which Is The Best Energy Drink For Weakness Causing Due To Chemotherapy?
My dad if suffering from bone cancer and he is on the Chemotherapy. His sugar level keeps going up and down and then he looses energy every now and then. Will drinking Lucozade, Rell bull and all these energy drinks be healthy for him? If so what healthy liquid can he take to give him energy.
