The Best Diet To Stop Cancer

Before we meet, Google is the best friend of all my clients. They've spent hours hanging out over on "the 'net" researching all kinds of topics like "cancer-killing foods" and "the best diet for cancer prevention". Probably more time over there on Google, or reading the books that Google sent them than they do with their own family sometimes.

News Flash: There is no one ideal diet for everyone.

The reality is that what one article says is the best diet may not be suitable for you because you are unique.

You have different genetics, tastes, available time, digestive processes, stress levels, exercise habits, etc. And all of these can have an impact on what foods are best for your body. When you're creating your ideal nutrition plan, it's important to take each of these into consideration.

Over in The Roadmap To Recovery, we understand that foods need to be chosen based on your personal needs and we create a specific plan built for you. However, the base we work off for all clients is a macronutrient-balanced anti-inflammatory diet.

Why Balancing Macronutrients is Key For Lowering Cancer Recurrence Risk

After treatment, there is a lot of rebuilding that needs to go on. Treatment has hit and destroyed not only the cancer cells but a lot of healthy tissues can be taken down in the process and need to be replenished. Even if it's been years since your last treatment, there is often quite a bit of recovery and tissue-making that needs to happen.

This means that you have to supply the body with the appropriate building blocks to build the tissues. These building blocks come in the form of protein, carbs, and fat. By providing the body with adequate amounts of protein, carbs, and fat, you are helping to create new healthy tissues. New healthy tissues mean that you are strengthening your immune system, digestive system (absorption and creation of nutrients), hormone health, brain health, nerve health, and more.

On top of providing building blocks for new cells, appropriate amounts of macronutrients also help to balance blood sugar. Unbalanced blood sugar can lead to a dampened immune response and excessive inflammation in the body.

Macronutrient Foods To Include:

Protein - lentils, chickpeas, beans, soy, chicken, fish, grass-fed beef, quinoa, hemp hearts, eggs

Healthy Fat - avocado, olives, cold-pressed oils (like olive oil), fish, almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, eggs, chia seeds, pumpkins seeds

Fibre - ground flax seed, chia seeds, peas, broccoli, squash, berries, brussels sprouts, lentils, nuts, seeds, chickpeas, quinoa
