Health and Nutrition Strategies for Cancer Survivors and Everybody Else<br />

STRESS<br />

Since my perspective on most health issues, start with nutrition and diet, we’ll look at stress<br />

the same way. Stress can be debilitating because it depletes essential nutrients, such as potassium,<br />

and chloride, and because they are electrolytes, it can result in serious imbalances,<br />

some of which can be fatal, if not corrected. Over correction causes another set of problems.<br />

To often, people use processed foods as a response to stress. Since stress is a constant in our<br />

current environment, it correlates with the rise in obesity,diabetes, and cancer. Management<br />

of stress means managing food intake to assure balance. For cancer survivors and everybody<br />

else that means “personalizing your diet”. The one size fits all concept is not the best strategy.<br />

A middle-aged man might not have the same nutritional demands as a twenty year old pregnant<br />

woman, or a 10yr old boy. So, let’s work on balance, and identifying your nutritional<br />

needs.<br />

Once or twice in your adult life, you should take a month or two to optimize your body. I<br />

like the month of January and optimize annually. During the optimizing period you should<br />

reduce food intake to essential nutrients. Hydration, fiber and exercise are critical to the<br />

optimizing process. I like green tea with my water and drink at least a half gallon a day.<br />

Your daily total dietary fiber should equal your total fat, and exercise should be of sufficient<br />

cardiovascular overload to stimulate increases in cardiac output. The more oxygen intake the<br />

less cancer (cancer is an anaerobic activity). Breath deeply as a lifestyle.<br />

Finally, Hippocrates is credited with the quote “Let food be your medicine,and let medicine<br />

be your food”. Yes, that’s the same Hippocrates of the Hippocratic (do no harm) Oath that all<br />

physicians take.<br />

It was important then and way more important now.<br />
