Diet for Cancer Survivors

The proper diet is critical to regain and maintain good health after a bout with cancer!   Think in terms of more plant -- less animal! Research shows that 20 percent of cancers would never have happened to begin with if everyone ate five servings of vegetables per day. When choosing veggies -- use pigment as your guide! The darker the vegetable, the more likely it is to have beneficial cancer-fighting substances. Foods high in fat should be eaten sparingly. Medical experts recommend covering two-thirds of your plate with plant-based food and one-third with meat and dairy products. Fat derived from some fish can also be beneficial when it comes to cancer survival.
