Food for Life - Educational Alliance Partners

As you may remember, in March I spent a few days in Washington at the Cancer Project's Food For Life training. It was an incredible experience that I would like to share with our cancer patients/survivors and with you. Strength for Life became Educational Alliance Partners with the Cancer Project allowing us to instruct their protocol to you. Food for Life is the adoption of a vegan way of life.

Foods fight Cancer.... especially a plant based diet, low in fat. I understand the quantum leap however I do believe we have all been adapting to some of these ideas already. Many are eating less red meat - more chicken and seafood. Many of us are eating low fat - no saturated fat, no trans fat already.

Let's take it further....The reason I chose to tell you about this now - is that the Cancer Project through the 'Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine" offers a 21 day kick-start program quarterly. I participated in April - and just read they have decided to add another kick-start in June... This will give you a head-start and trial period.... they give you simple and delicious recipes, advice and guidance. IF you are concerned about the ever growing information on nutrition and food additives - here is an opportunity to try it out.... you have nothing to lose and so much to gain - there is power on our plate!!!

Mark your calendars - June 16 is the day you start learning more about healthy eating and fighting disease with nutrition. In the event - you are a diabetic or a family member is - there is a protocol for diabetics as well. Take the plunge!

I was just reminded by a friend with diabetes how she learned the positive effects that fiber has on managing her disease. Fiber is of utmost importance in fighting these diseases as it helps rid your body of toxins, waste, hormones, excess cholesterol, chemicals and other undesirables. How much fiber are you consuming in a day??? Do you know???

I would also like to recommend a great website - easy to navigate that will help you learn what you are consuming. Livestrong.com - Daily plate...you enter your food diary and it calculates what you are consuming - and you will see what you have to change. The website has an unbelievable mass of food items - just be specific about your servings and choices and you will learn much about your eating habits.

25 gram is the minimum for fiber - ease your way to 40.

21 days to better health...make a commitment and try this '21 day kick start' from the Cancer Project - food for optimal health. http://pcrm.org/kickstartHome
