Anti Cancer Diet

We all have cancer cells, but 2/3 fight it off long enough to die from something else. Your choice of food influences your cancer; By eating well you can build an anti-cancer biology. Ignoring nutrition gives false hopelessness. Eat:

• Green tea 2-3 c/day (decaf OK, black tea less effective. Steep 10 minutes; drink within an hour.)
• Mix 1t turmeric (1T if diagnosed), 1t olive oil, and black pepper, in veggies and salads.
• Grate ginger in veggie stir fry or fruit salad. Infuse 1" for 10 minutes in boiling water.
• Cabbage, brussels sprouts, bok choy, chinese cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower - steam briefly or stir fry (don't boil).
• Garlic, Onions, Leeks, Shallots, Chives - add to salads, sandwiches, all dishes.
• Fry garlic and onions in olive oil, add veggies, toss with pepper and turmeric.
• Pomegranate juice 8 oz/breakfast
• Oranges, tangerines, lemons, [grapefruit] - sprinkle zest on salads, cereals; steep in tea or hot water. Season grilled fish with salsa. Eat plain!
• Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, and cranberries (frozen are fine) - breakfast.
• 70+% chocolate, 20% bar/day. (A square of dark chocolate has twice as many antioxidants as a glass of red wine and almost as many as a cup of properly-steeped green tea.) Avoid milk chocolate.
• Small fresh fish 2-3/week (omega-3 anchovies, small mackerel, sardines [canned in olive not pro-inflammatory omega-6 sunflower oil], or high-quality purified fish-oil supplements).
• Soy (milk, yogurt, tofu, tempeh, miso).
• <11 oz/week red meat (Americans average 11 oz/day).
• Organic indeed severely reduces pesticides in kid's urine, but even non-organic veggies are better than none.
• Even a little exercise (30 minutes/day) halves cancer relapse - better than any drug.
• Care, from others and self, soothes. Meditate. Enjoy life. Spend some time alone every day.
