Nutrition and Exercise

Do you have any tips for diet and exercise? This is a place to share about what has helped you, or any challenges you may face.

  1. I suggest the book Killing Cancer Without Killing Yourself. It lists several supplements you can take. I take a few that are listed and will purchase more as money allows. If you are doing Chemo, I suggest you start with Astragalus. I am not sure of the strength as I do not have my bottle handy. Before starting any supplements, I suggest you research them thoroughly. I take about 15 different ones throughout the day. Try cutting down on the meat you eat, and today I learned we need to cut back on milk. Sugar feeds cancer, so I would like to suggest you cut back on that until you can eliminate it and DO NOT use sugar substitutes. Another book I would like to suggest is Curing Cancer with Carrots.

    1. TY Shayla, other than Chronic Diarrhea I am doing pretty good. I go back for LABS Thursday. I sure wish there was something we could all eat to bring our WHITE CELLS UP.

    2. , that would be so helpful! I hope all goes well Thursday. Thinking of you <3 Shayla (AdvancedBreastCancer.net, Team Member)

  2. I have found a great protein powder that I add to greek yogurt for breakfast. I found that having a high protein diet has provided me with more energy and lessens the side effects of the meds. Lots of vegetables too.

    1. - How are you doing today? Thanks so much for being here and sharing what has worked and helped you! Do you have any favorite veggies and/or recipes that are your go-to's? I'm attaching an article below for anyone who may be scrolling through that speaks to the importance of diet/nutrition and exercise. Self-care is so important, especially when you're not feeling your best. Sending strength and support your way! -Beth (Team Member)
