THE ALKALINE DIET AND CANCER The alkaline diet is where an individual consumes food and drink that is categorized as alkaline. This means that on the pH scale* the item has a pH between 7-14. The aim is to reduce the amount of acidic food and drink consumed. The diet is derived from the notion that the different foods we eat affect the overall pH balance of our bodies. HEAL WELL: FREE RESOURCE FOR CANCER PATIENTS AUSTIN, NEW YORK, WASHINGTON, DC — The American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR), the LIVESTRONG Foundation and Meals to Heal are pleased to announce the release of a free, evidence-based (PDF format) resource: Healthy Eating and Activity for Living, HEAL Well, A Cancer Nutrition Guide. Scientific evidence shows that proper nutrition during cancer treatment offers many benefits for FIVE STEPS FOR CANCER-SAFE GRILLING Five Steps for Cancer-Safe Grilling. AICR calls for attention to these simple precautions: 1. Marinate: Studies suggest that marinating meat before grilling can decrease formation of HCAs. 2. Pre-Cook: If you are grilling larger cuts, you can reduce the time your meat is exposed to flame by partially cooking it in a microwave, oven or stove first. THE SUGAR AND CANCER CONNECTION There is a connection between sugar and cancer risk, however, but it’s more indirect than many realize. Eating a lot of high-sugar foods may mean more calories in your diet than you need, which eventually leads to excess body fat. After not smoking, being at a healthy weight is the most important thing you can do to prevent

cancer.

FIVE STEPS FOR CANCER-SAFE GRILLING Five Steps for Cancer-Safe Grilling. AICR calls for attention to these simple precautions: 1. Marinate: Studies suggest that marinating meat before grilling can decrease formation of HCAs. 2. Pre-Cook: If you are grilling larger cuts, you can reduce the time your meat is exposed to flame by partially cooking it in a microwave, oven or stove first. DIET AND NUTRITION TIPS FOR PANCREATIC CANCER Strive for a plant-based diet. This will take time as your body heals from treatment. Begin by adding easy-to-digest plant- based foods like oats, barley, bananas, applesauce, pears, peaches, turnips, sweet potatoes, carrots and asparagus.

NUTRITION FACTS

Nutrition labels can seem complicated. To ensure that you can maintain your healthy lifestyle with ease, we provide a nutrition label guide

here.

BREAKING DOWN THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN ALKALINE DIET AND The alkaline diet generally encourages higher consumption of vegetables and fruits and limits meat intake. That’s consistent with AICR’s evidence-based recommendations for a diet to reduce cancer risk. The diet also calls for avoiding added sugars. Recommendations for cancer prevention and overall health also advise limiting added

sugars

MEDITERRANEAN DIET AND CANCER PREVENTION Because the diet focuses on plant foods, fish, moderate amounts of dairy and limited red meat, it mirrors much of what we know about a diet that reduces cancer risk. So far, there are some promising results, but more research is needed to know if there is a clear link. One study suggests that following a Mediterranean diet may reduce the

risk

Sautéed Chard with Feta and Egg Breakfast Toast. This toast variation is the perfect way to sneak vegetables into your breakfast. Dark leafy greens, including Swiss chard, are one of POTATOES: BAD GUYS OR CANCER-FIGHTERS? Consider that a small serving of fries or chips is double the small potato’s calories, 10 times the fat and less than half the vitamin C. We just need to re-think the potato on our plate, not eliminate. Here’s what you get when you eat a small boiled potato with the skin: about 130 calories, 3 grams cancer-fighting fiber, at least 20 FLAXSEED AND BREAST CANCER A: Flaxseed most often raises questions regarding breast cancer because of its compounds called lignans. These compounds, sometimes called phytoestrogens, have a chemical structure similar to estrogen. At first glance, it might seem that would increase risk of estrogen-sensitive (ER-positive) breast cancer, which is spurred by

excess estrogen.

CALIFORNIA VS. FLORIDA AVOCADOS. IS THERE A DIFFERENCE IN Florida avocados are the larger, smooth-skinned choices. California avocados sold in supermarkets are the Hass variety, and are smaller and have a pebbly skin that turns from green to a purplish-black when

ripe.
