I have decided to look at acid and alkaline this week as it seems to be a natural follow on from bone health that we looked at last week.

As promised this week as a follow on from the acid alkaline blog last week I want to look at super greens and algae.

The immune system is very complex elaborate interactive system of cells, chemicals and tissues distributed throughout the body so much so that consultants become immunologist specialising only in the immune system.

I have decided to stay on the subject of the immune system as it is something I am asked about time and time again.

Dietary help for those who experience changes in taste and smell/dry sore mouth.

As promised this week I want to continue with the theme of helping with dietary ideas that may help alleviate some of the side effects that can be experienced as a result of treatment, in particular difficulty swallowing, nausea and vomiting.

Antioxidants is a word that gets banded around and we are told that they are good for us and to include them in our diets.

As promised this week I want to look at a few more phyto chemicals that have ‘been shown’ to be very beneficial for those with cancer.

This blog is going to be about phytochemicals. I have a feeling I may have got a bit technical here, but bear with me.

There has been such a lot of information around the subject of phytochemicals and health and cancer that I thought that it was time for a fresh look at the subject.

Whenever I talk to a visitor about diet and cancer I am very conscious that I do not want to give advice that will create conflict or stress.

I thought it would be a good idea to look at some snack ideas that could easily be incorporated into a healthy eating plan.

As a follow on this week I want to look at the glycemic load of food and its relevance to healthy eating. I use the term quite regularly when describing the health benefits of foods as it is a very good indication.

Wow this is a really heavily debated issue. Some people are absolutely passionate about buying organic, some think it is a waste of money and others are ambivalent to it. I am constantly being asked my views on this by visitors.

This week I thought that I would write about one of the foods that I use a great deal in my cooking demonstrations as an illustration of a versatile really healthy food, Quinoa.

Despite the belief that people with cancer generally lose weight as a result of the disease process I get many visitors asking me for advice on how to deal with weight gain, particularly women who are receiving treatment for hormone related cancers.

This week I want to look at more practical ways of eating well. About 4 week ago I looked at some snack ideas and this week I thought I would look at the most important meal of the day breakfast and some easy healthy ideas that you could try.

This week I was going to continue my theme of meal ideas but thought I would postpone this for a week and do a blog about pumpkins and a recipe.

s a nutritional Therapist I receive many newsletters from other nutrition experts and as a result am privy to reading many research papers attached to these new letters.

Some weeks ago there was a Horizon programme on the television focussing on Fasting.
