CLL patients, gain the health benefits of including antioxidant-rich foods in your day like wild blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries found in this smoothie recipe.

Foods high in antioxidants help decrease excess oxidative stress which can be the cause of your cancer-killing immune system cells being fatigued and not doing as good of a job as they should at killing cancer cells (see here for more about oxidative stress and immune system cells).
