HEALTH - Men and Women

With the recent media frenzy surrounding Jane Goody, below is some information sent to me from my sister who has had cancer. It is from her Orthomolecular Nutritionist. It has been proven that diet can be preventative against cancer.

Food for thought...

• Reduce carbohydrates drastically or eliminate them these include breads especially white pasta/rice, pastries, chips.
  
• Eat 10 to 14 servings (equals 1/2 to 1 cup) of fruits and vegetables combined per day
• All cruciferous vegetables are supreme cancer fighters, Brussel sprouts are king.
• Be sure to get fat into your diet - good fats rich in omega 3's: olive oil, salmon and/or small fishes, butter. Avoid vegetable oils which are high in omega 6's-too much can be bad.
  
• Eat all dairy organically - very important.
• Drink three cups of Japanese green tea daily.
• Eat very small portions of chicken and fish.
• Eliminate red meat, eat only organic red meat which has been grass fed.
• Vitamin D -very important cancer preventative - get your D levels checked by blood test = "25 hydroxy D" test, depending on your level,start taking 2000 IUs vitamin D daily, liquid D drops are best.

Supplements are just as important as this: low "glycemic diet".
