I like to think that I eat healthly and after being diagnosed with this bastard cancer I googled 'foods to fight breast cancer' . The same ones kept coming up ................ so how did I do???
Broccoli - I hate the awful calabrese heads that are commonly sold as broccoli and served in every pub/restaurant all year round but adore purple sprouting ......... tick
In the same group sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower. I hate sprouts, always have done, as a child I was only exempt from eating them on Christmas day!!......cross tick tick
Tomatoes - until recently I only ate these in season but as we love greek/turkish salad with our feta I've been buying foreign ones ..... tick
Yellow veg - peppers, melon, squash ..... tick tick tick
winter squash, carrots .... tick tick
Sweet potato - I just don't get on with this .... cross
Fruit especially blueberries .... tick
Spinach, kale, swiss chard ..... tick tick tick
Brown rice, well its in the cupboard ..... cross
Bulgar wheat ... tick
Wholegrains ..... tick
Oily fish, for many years I rarely ate meat, prefering fish but to be honest these days we don't see a fishmonger very often so fish is a once in a while meal. cross/tick ??
Beans and lentils, as OH will testify I adore chickpeas so they appear at least three times a week !!!!! lentil salad and soup is another regular!!!....... TICK
Mushrooms ... tick
Nuts, flax seeds, green tea, turmeric - I love nuts but rarely buy them because they get eaten too quickly and are calorific! never tried flax seeds or green tea and cook with turmeric but around once a month ........ probably a total of one tick!
Looks like I'm doing well........right?
Wrong
I should be eating 9+ portions of fruit and veg a day and 2-3 portions of oily fish a week plus more wholegrains to inrease my fibre intake.
In the last week I have started to make changes - blueberries for breakfast, makerel and salmon, four times, purple sprouting every suppertime and beans/lentils everyday which has made for a very windy household!!!!
The only spanner in the works was 3 markets on the trot this weekend so along with hospital visits, cheesemaking and preparing for the markets my inner domestic goddess failed ....
No healthy meals prepared then!
Infact downright unhealthy ........
Tomorrow is another day!
Hi Sarah, it is the MineralDoc here. Wishing you well with your battle. We have had many wonderful testimonials from sufferers using our plant derived minerals. They give your body 75 certified minerals and you'd struggle to find anything so pure, which probably explains why they were the first minerals to be granted a kosher certificate. In fact, I'm not aware of any other. Please feel free to view our website and view some of the testimonials and oh yes, click on 'what the doctors say' and listen to Dr Robert Bender's view on these minerals. I love this statement he makes in his presentation: 'Minerals...without them we DIE. Minerals are essential... they're LIFE!' These plant minerals probably saved my friend Peter's life in 2002 according to his medical team at the Royal Brompton and he ended up buying the American company and has recently brought it within reach of people here in the UK at a very affordable price of less than £1-a-day though some double or triple up of their daily intake for the first month or two.
