This month I want to focus on breast cancer and nutrition. As you can imagine there is a huge amount of research available, some is based on observational studies, other research is centred on a lab, and some is in clinical trials.
This month we are going to look at how to support the body during and after treatment for bowel cancer (colorectal cancer).
I want to write about supporting the digestive system after treatment for bowel cancer (colorectal cancer) has finished.
This blog continues my series looking at specific cancers and nutrition. This month I want to look at skin cancer and melanoma.
In this blog today, I want to continue the theme of looking at individual cancers and any specific nutritional recommendations that may potentially be beneficial. This month I am going to look at lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
This month I am going to look at look at the role of nutrition and lifestyle with kidney cancer.
I wanted to talk about how as carers, you can try and support yourselves nutritionally. This is often overlooked, but is really important as your body too will be experiencing the effects of stress.
For some time now I have been wanting to write about the exciting new research that is emerging about calorie restriction before and/or after cancer treatment.
I have already written a blog on boosting the immune system and how to help yourself if you become neutropenic but as you know I am getting research through all the time and some more has come to light that I feel would be really useful and interesting,
I see many many people asking for advice about coping with the side effects of medical treatment whether it be as a result of surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, some drugs or a combination of some of these.
This week is a continuation of last week, looking at ways that we can boost the immune system through food choice.
I wanted to take a look at Protein and protein rich foods with you and how they relate to cancer.
The White stuff, Milk!. Should we or shouldn’t we? A question I am frequently asked especially by ladies with breast cancer and I am not surprised, as there is so much conflicting information it is a job to know what to do.
I wanted to write about protein powders this week because I regularly see visitors to Maggie’s who either need to build themselves up after surgery, or after a particularly poor patch as a result of treatment when they have very little appetite.
I frequently see visitors with hormone driven cancers who want to know what they can do to help themselves, so I thought I would share my the recommendations that I normally give, with you.
Sugar, sweet, tastes good, gives pleasure, but should we be eating it?.
Fatigue, ongoing tiredness not remedied by a good night sleep. An absolutely awful feeling, limbs are heavy, real brain fog, no enthusiasm, the smallest thing seems to blow out of proportion and you cannot see the wood for trees.
Whenever I give a talk about nutrition and healthy eating to groups, or during my cookery demonstrations I am always getting asked about fats, which are safe to use and which ones to avoid.
As a follow on from last week I want to continue the theme of fats and clear up more questions that I am regularly asked about them.
Bone health is important especially for those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
