Every October I like to remind everyone about how powerful eating plants can be. I switched to a Whole Food Plant Based Way of eating after my cancer diagnosis, and have gone over 13 years without any cancer recurrence. Think about it, if you only remove the cancer from your body, but do nothing different to change the environment of your cells, then it is highly likely that the cancer will return in some shape or form. Your body knows how to grow cancer.
How do you know if you have any remaining cancer cells floating around in your body after your surgeries and treatments? You don’t.
But if you eat the foods that fight cancer, GBOMBS (greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries, seeds/nuts) , then your chances of recurrence go way down! In addition to 1. eating whole plants, 2. exercise regularly, 3. limit/omit all alcohol (yes you are worth it and drinking alcohol raises breast cancer risk), and 4. maintain a healthy weight (not hard when eating plants only).
These are REAL ways to reduce chances of recurrence and help you fight any cancer you have now. Always feel free to reach out to us.
