Nutrition

Food is an essential part of human existence. Eating is often perceived as an act designed only to "refuel" the body with energy, described often in terms of calories and vitamins. Unfortunately this mindset might be detrimental to our health. Instead we should begin viewing food also as a way to preserve and enhance our health! 

 
Ways to Improve Your Nutrition


There are multiple ways to improve your nutrition. Those ways have to be individualized to each person’s needs, desires, aversions and personality. But... there are some general guidelines to improve your nutrition that are usually easy to apply...

Superfoods

The term "Superfoods" might make you think of rare and exotic foods, some people try to market these foods as having magical powers that are hard to obtain. The truth is that these foods are available at you local market or grocery store. There are accumulating scientific research that some of these foods have a beneficial role in fighting cancer. We will try to share some of the specific information related to each food.

 
Healthy Mushroom Soup
 
Organic Foods - Any Benefits?

 
A growing number of people with cancer have been turning to organic foods. Organic foods have fewer hormones, pesticides residues and other compounds, which may be harmful to your health. Pesticide-free cultivation of plants is thought to stimulate the plants defense systems and help produce higher amounts of cancer-fighting compounds (a wide array of phytochemicals). Use organic foods whenever budget and availability permit, by doing so you can limit exposure to potentially harmful pesticides and hormones.  As well as increase the amount of phytochemicals in your fruit and vegetables.
But it is a misleading fact to think that only organic foods contain these cancer-fighting compounds. It is better to eat "conventional" produce regularly, than to only occasionally eat organic fruits and vegetables. Also, many people (including a growing amount of chefs) claim organic foods simply taste better.
Press on "more" to see Organic FAQ’s and a table to help you prioritize which fruit and vegetables to buy organic.    

 
Intermittent fasting

 New research suggests that intermittent fasting can be helpful in cancer care, both in prevention as well as during tretment.

 
Juicing

Foods to Minimize or Avoid

This might be the hardest step for some people to make when changing a diet. In the West we are surrounded by processed food. We often find ourselves with hectic and busy work days that lead many of us to rely on processed food to sustain ourselves and our families. 
Keeping in mind that healthy food can be medicine, processed foods and sugar can cause more harm than benefit. For more information on foods to avoid when you are confronted with cancer
