On Survive and Live Well,
we talk about surviving, thriving and living well. Part of that comes from the successful
treatment of cancer; part of that involves never having the cancer return. Over the next eight weeks, we will hear from
a variety of health experts….people who strongly believe that we can and should
be active participants in our health; that diet, exercise and passion are all
part of healing and thriving. Cancer
treatment can include conventional alone, conventional mixed with commentary
therapies, or through the use of more natural means.
Yesterday I spoke about eating real food. Food;
is it Good for Our Health or Our Cancer?
I’d like to stress again the importance of staying close to nature. When you reach for a cheese substitute, take
a look at the ingredients…do you recognize all or even most of them? Did your great grandmother eat them? If not, put it back; same for eggs, milk and
other real foods. Try to avoid packaged
food. Like quinoa? Sure, if often comes
in a package; read the label. If it says quinoa, buy it. If it says quinoa and
nine other ingredients, think again and be sure you know what they are. Make better choices. Take for example, almond
milk. The boxed versions come with carrageenan,
but the refrigerated cartons do not. The
boxed versions also lack healthful enzymes.
So while not every choice is the perfect choice for health, we can make better
choices.
Eat passionately—eat real food for real health. As you develop a passion for real food, you
will notice you feel better and have more energy. Good food gives you energy.
Eating well improves your mood. You will become someone who eats well because
you love good food, not because your doctor or coach tells you to do it.

Lots of great practical advice on how to know if what we're eating is good for us or could work against us. I did a bit of cheating this week, but reading this, well I think I'll cook me up some quinoa tomorrow.

Hi just want to say that your blog is amazing, with great articles. I also have a blog http://mesothelioma-blog-article.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteCancer is a disease caused due to growth of uncontrollable cells which keep on multiplying. These cells do not die and form a tumor in human body part. There are more then 200 types of cancer which a human body can get affected. Cancer can be treated well if diagnosed in earlier stages. Treatment of cancer can be radiation, chemotherapy and immunotherapy. I have searched some hospitals on cancer and got to know some of the good hospitals. You can visit here for more information.
