A Day in the Life: Holistic Cancer Treatment

NEW SERIES: A DAY IN THE LIFE

As I rummage around on the internet, there is a lot of information about what to expect when fighting cancer with chemotherapy and radiation. But what about those treating their cancer with alternative methods? How is it different from those who choose a more conventional path?

Eating Healthy On the Go!

If you’ve been to any American mall lately, you could probably tell me the kind of food they have to offer in their food courts: greasy pizza, microwaved subs, poorly Americanized Asian food, you catch my drift. If you have to eat like me (mostly vegan, organic, mostly raw) there aren’t very many options. I did happen to find a “create-your-own-salad” place but it costs more than 12 dollars to order enough food to fill my belly and it’s not even organic. After a spur of the moment idea popped into my head, I believe I have found the solution to this inconvenient problem!

Melon-Kale Smoothie

Lately I have been hearing a lot about “Buy One Get One Free” deals on cantaloupe and honeydew at our local grocery stores. Depending on where you live this will differ, but being in the South– we have melons growing everywhere! (I can’t help but giggle when I write that.) So for the sake of humor, anytime you see the word melon in this post, know that I mean cantaloupe or honeydew melon. 🙂 Read on for today’s YUM recipe: Melon-Kale Smoothie.

The Anti-Green Veggie Smoothie

Many of you know that I don’t eat a lot of fruit in my smoothies, mainly because of the large amount of sugar. Cancer survives off of sugar, so if you want to starve it you have to keep the sweet stuff to a minimum. So what does that leave us? Veggies. But do we really have to have a green smoothie to have a veggie smoothie? No way! Check out today’s great veggie starter smoothie for a nice break from the fruity-ness.
