This topic is always a matter of choice, many people just don't want to change their eating habits which is really not a good idea for many people.
Most People already know what they should be eating and what foods they should limit but they just eat too much junk anyway.
Just about everyone can improve their diets, for some its as easy as cutting down on sugars and processed foods, for other they like to change to organic foods. This can prove difficult the more health issues you have and if you need to loose some weight or put some on all these need to be taken into consideration.
If you have cancer we would recommend that you adjust your diet.
For a cancer patient who appreciates the importance of a properly planned diet, the task is daunting. The diversity of the population minimizes the likelihood of a universal diet; nonetheless, most diets are hyped as being nutritionally correct for everyone. This section explores dietary variables, conceding that many generalities exist, that is, eat organic when available and eat on schedule to avoid blood glucose swings. Select foods characterized by color and texture. Avoid synthetic and refined foods: white flour products and sugar as well as trans fats (those fats altered by overheating, hydrogenation, and refining). Avoiding well-done meats and exposure to heterocyclic amines (formed during high temperature cooking) eliminates another significant cancer source (Zheng et al. 1998).
Tumors are primarily obligate glucose metabolizers, meaning they require sugar for survival. Even though the brain normally uses high amounts of glucose, hepatomas (a tumor of the liver) and fibrosarcomas (a sarcoma that contains fibrous connective tissue) consume roughly as much glucose as the brain. Some Americans continuously satisfy cancer's appetite, ingesting as much as 295 pounds of sugar a year.
Most Cancer patients should follow these recommendations:
1. Organic vegetables should be high on your list, this will heal your entire digestive system and supply much needed fiber to keep you regular, you should add the following to your diet : kale, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers, onions, peppers, radishes, tomatoes, squash, carrots, leeks, sprouts, avocado. You will need to cook the vegetables that either dont taste good raw or cant be eaten raw, the method you should use is steaming as it keeps most of the vitamins and minerals in the food.
Cancer patients should use foods low on the glycemic index.
You should really think about growing your own sprouts its easy and cheap and can be added to all of you meals.
2. Drink more vegetable juices and smoothies this is a great way to increase the amount of vegetables you get in your daily diet. Vegetable juice does not replace eating raw whole veggies.
3. Breads: you should keep you intake of white bread down, English muffins are ok as is “gluten-free” bread. Keep away from breads with added preservatives in them.
4. Cereals made with Gluten free grains like millet, quinoa etc. are fine with non sweetened almond milk, no sugar or artificial sweeteners should be in the cereals or almond milk.
5. Fruit. try to limit your intake of fruit to two pieces of whole fruit apple, banana, handful of grapes, etc.) a day. Fruit juice is too high in sugar to drink everyday.
7. Nuts are good a few small hand fulls a day is good for those needing to add weight. macadamia, Brazil nuts, Walnuts, almonds and cashews are all fine. No peanuts as they tend to make people constipated.
8. organic, free-range chicken and eggs , salmon, tuna, etc. are all good I would really keep away from any pork products. You should keep your animal protein intake low and eat more veggies if you can as this will have the best results.
9. Try this smoothie:
1 young coconut
1 cup of frozen organic berries
1 frozen organic banana
-Pour the coconut juice/water into a blender.
-Scoop out the white coconut meat with a spoon and put it in the blender.
-Blend the juice and coconut meat together to make coconut milk.
-Blend in 1 cup of frozen organic berries
-Blend in 1 banana (frozen is best, if your blender can handle it, you may need to cut this into a few smaller sections or leave it out of the freezer for 5 mins before using it).
10. Oils: the only oil I recommend is olive oil for cooking and extra virgin olive for cooking you may also use coconut oil if you like.
