Nature's Cancer-Fighting Foods : Prevent and Reverse the Most Common Forms of Cancer Using the Proven Power of Wh Ole Food and Self-Healing Strategies

Discusses how everyday foods and healthy recipes can strengthen and regulate blood quality, immunity, blood sugar, and detox ability to improve overall health and prevent cancer, in a revised edition that includes updated research. Based on a solid foundation of the healing properties of good nutrition, this book empowers readers with the information they need to make the best choices and to gain control over their total health and well-being - physical, emotional, and spiritual. While addressing the specific needs of those with a diagnosis of cancer, Varona explores the key factors that science and experience have shown to influence the path of prevention and recovery. Grounded in documented research from leading medical institutions - along with studies of the world's healthiest populations - nutrition educator Verne Varona has developed a breakthrough nutritional and lifestyle programme for immunity building and cancer prevention and recovery. This book provides detailed diet and lifestyle modifications that will reinforce the body's immunity and reduce cell-damage to an absolute minimum. While the bulk of this book is devoted to physical nutrition, eating the right foods is not the whole picture. No matter what course of treatment a patient may choose, clinical research and anecdotal testimony have shown that those who have embraced a range of self-healing choices not only see a positive impact on their physical and psychological well-being but inevitably enhance their chances of survival. The most influential of these choices are: life purpose; positive attitude; managing stress; sense of humor; love and social support; emotional expression; and faith. Along with good nutrition, a healthy lifestyle, and physical exercise, these choices contribute to a more comprehensive and complete healing. Abstract: A major reference text for nutritionists, cancer researchers, physicians, and other health professionals presents detailed, expert reviews on the role of specific dietary components in cancer risk, prevention, and treatment. Scientifically valid data on diet and nutrition in relation to cancer are provided from 3 major sources: human epidemiological studies; animal experiments; and in vitro genetic toxicity tests. The text chapters are organized among 3 major themes: 1) relationships between nutrients and cancer (caloric intake; fats and cholesterol; protein; carbohydrates; dietary fiber; vitamins; minerals; alcoholic beverages); 2) the role of non-nutritive dietary components (naturally occurring carcinogens; mutagens in foods; additives and contaminants; cancer inhibitors in foods); and 3) patterns associations with specific cancer types; and risk assessments). The text is introduced with an overview of the nature of cancer and its relationship to diet, and of the various methodological approaches that have been used in studies of the association of dietary and nutritional factors with cancer Machine generated contents note: CHAPTER 1 -- Eating Habits, Food Quality, and Cancer Prevention -- CHAPTER 2 -- Carbohydrates, Fats, and Proteins: Myths, Truths, -- and Healthy Advice -- CHAPTER 3 -- Phytochemical Super Heroes and Amazing Antioxidants -- CHAPTER 4 -- The Healing Power of Acid and Alkaline -- CHAPTER 5 -- The Meat and Dairy Issue -- CHAPTER 6 -- No-Guilt Craving Strategies for Eliminating Sugar, -- Fat, and Overeating -- CHAPTER 7 -- The Best Kept Secret of the Orient: The Soup -- That Heals -- CHAPTER 8 -- Harvesting the Good Earth-Medicinal Herbs -- and Mushrooms -- CHAPTER 9 -- Health Supportive Supplement Strategies -- CHAPTER 10 -- Nature's Cancer-Fighting Food Plan -- CHAPTER 11 -- Food Preparation and Cooking for Lifetime -- Health Benefits -- CHAPTER 12 -- Salud!
