Proper diets for cancer patients

Nutritionist Dr Kenny Lim was invited to give 2 seminars on august 12th and September 23th at Tomo Consultation Centre to talk about proper diets for cancer patients .

the effect of diet on health is obvious . Junk food would give rise to toxin build up in the body , blocking circulation and causing diseases . Proper diets that can change an acidic body into an alkaline one help a lot in the recovery from cancer .

Dr Kenny Lim suggested more high energy and less high calorie food . Besides eating common food like vegetables , legumes , fibre , compound carbohydrates , nuts and fruit , he strongly advocated supplementing the diet with enzymes and probiotics .

We should cut down on high calorie food such as desserts , fried food and high additive food . Use good cooking oil like olive oil , palm oil , coconut oil etc . Refined sugar should be avoided and replaced with brown sugar instead .

He recommended the following meals :

• Breakfast - should be in high protein , vitamin X and healthy fats
• Lunch - take assorted vegetables and food types to ensure optimal nutrient supply . 
• Dinner - take some cereals , probiotics , assorted anti - oxidants [ vegetables ] and do not eat too much 

In summary , Dr Kenny Lim recommended probiotics , alkaline food , anti - oxidants , immune activators [ polysaccharides ] as beneficial food conductive to cancer recovery . Cancer patients must choose their food wisely .
