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.

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.
