I came across an article when I was doing some research for another topic and thought that it might be of interest to some of you.

This week I want to address the problem of anaemia, which is a very common symptom that can be developed during treatment for cancer.

I was recently asked about a neutropenic diet (ND) for people with low white blood cell counts which can happen as a result of treatment.

Some time ago I wrote a blog on the nutritional value of nuts and how they can be used as part of a healthy diet.

This is a subject that I have wanted to look at for a while and what has spurred me on is that I saw a visitor at Maggie’s who was following this diet.

This week I thought that I would focus on sharing a couple of recipes that would be really good additions to the Christmas fayre.

This month’s blog focuses on the effects of insulin on our health, the Glycaemic Load (GL) of foods and what this means to our health.

This month I am writing about the natural sugar alternatives that are available in the shops and how to use them in cooking.

This month I want to look at foods that have been shown to help boost energy because they are rich in the B group of vitamins and magnesium.

As you may know, I do not believe that there are such things as ‘super foods’. However, I may be being a bit naive here because I do think that some foods are very nutritious but rather than be given a superfood status, should be part of a good mixed diet

The idea for this blog came about after I read a very good article from a recent newsletter that I received from a leading supplement company.

This blog was inspired by a newspaper article in the Times last week with the title, ‘Welcome Back Butter’.

This month I thought that I would talk about the subject of sugar. I was spurred on by the recent programme by Jamie Oliver about the association of eating sugar and disease.

This seems to be a very good topic for this time of the year as we are in the run up to Christmas and we associate a lot of the Christmas food with spices and warmth.

This month I want to update my nutritional advice about boosting the immune system.

PREbiotics. Yes, I want to write about PRE-biotics as opposed to PRObiotics.

I was reminded that it will soon be Pancake Day so I thought that I would make this blog fit in with the tradition that many of us have enjoyed for years.

I was prompted to write this blog after reading Robyn’s blog that she posted recently. In her blog she writes about the small changes that she is trying to make to her diet to improve her health.

This month I wanted to bring your attention to a new book. The book is called, ‘The Living Well With Cancer Cookbook’ by Fran Ward and Catherine Zabilowicz.

This month I want to look at the subject of essential fats in the diet.
