Yeah that would be me....I am just going to be honest and say it has been really hard for me to post since I started this because I have had so many ups and downs with food. See poor diet, diabetes and obesity are some of the highest contributors to Liver Cancer. I wanted to write a blog about my dad's best recipes, restaurants and favorite foods... none of which I know are healthy, all of which have led to life of obesity and type two diabetes. How can I write about the very things that are killing him?
I have to admit that after learning about his diagnosis, I have had many sleepless nights. Riddled with anxiety, guilt and disappointment, it's been hard to focus. Three things have helped me through this, Amazing Friends and Family, http://csn.cancer.org - liver discussion group, and the book "Anti-Cancer".
If you get anything out of my posts I hope it’s this. READ THE BOOK "Anti-Cancer" It is a must read, and not just for those who have or have had cancer, but for anyone who wants to live a healthy lifestyle. It's the story of a Doctor who discovers his own brain cancer and through the use of a macrobiotic diet, meditation, exercise & conventional western treatments like surgery & chemotherapy he was able to live 13 years past his 7 year prognosis. The book goes in great depth on research about foods and their different anti-cancerous properties. It will change your outlook on food and feeing your body and it’s told through the very personal story of a husband, father& scientist living with a cancer.
I highly recommend it and hope that it will lead you to or help reinforce a healthy lifestyle. I know that I am going to do my best to support my body, not just because I want to be healthy, but because I want to be healthy for my family and future family! I hope you feel the same!
All My Best!
