We already know that the quality and selection of food affects our weight, energy and emotional health. Now there is a resurgence in natural care options, including diet, that are available for people with cancer.
I just received these titles from Mercedes Dzindzeleta, a Racine massage therapist and bodyworker who has been researching alternative cancer treatments and adjuncts to cancer treatments. Her discovery of several cookbooks for cancer survivors and patients is worth sharing.
These new cookbooks are attractive and show wholesome and healthy foods of all kinds. I had the opportunity to taste the resuilts of one recipe, a soft-as-a-cloud sponge cake sweetened with maple syrup -- delicious!
The queen of these cookbooks appears to be Rebecca Katz, author of "The Cancer Fighting-Kitchen" and "One Bite At A Time." Both focus on immune-building recipes with easy-to-find ingredients that stimulate appetite and address treatment side-effects including fatigue, nausea, mouth and throat soreness, and low blood counts.
Another new classic is "Foods to Fight Cancer: Essential Foods To Help Prevent Cancer" by Richard Beliveau.
