How Does The Cancer Prevention Diet Work?

The Richardson Cancer Prevention Diet uses specific vitamins and minerals from natural foods, plus digestive enzymes, to aide in the prevention of cancer and in cancer recovery vitamins such as B15 and B17.Dr. Richardson never stopped believing that it is not the cancer that kills, but the breakdown of the body’s own defense mechanism. If the body’s pancreatic enzymes and vitamin and mineral levels are adequate, according to Dr. Richardson, the immune system can actually help keep cancerous cells in check.

Function: cancer treatment

People with cancer are at risk for developing nutritional deficiencies. The deficiencies may be the result of the cancer itself, or the side effects of common cancer treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Malignancies directly compromise nutritional status by altering metabolism and causing loss of appetite. Changes in metabolism include an increased basal metabolic rate and increased spending of energy. This increase in energy use means you’ll require more calories to maintain your current weight and lean body mass. There are also individual alterations in carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism.

Action Cancer Prevention Diet:

Be as lean as possible Aim for Body Mass Index of 21 - 23.Be Active Aim for 60 minutes or more moderate activity every day, or 30+ minutes of vigorous activity.  Avoid energy-dense foods and sugary drinks Avoid foods that are high in fat, like fast foods and processed foods. Also avoid sugary drinks like soda. Eat plant-based foods  Aim for 5 servings of non-starchy fruits and vegetables every day (potato, yam, sweet potato, and cassava don’t count). Eat only limited amounts of refined grains like white bread and pasta. Instead, include legumes or whole grains in every meal.

Food Sources:   

People with cancer frequently require a high-calorie diet to prevent weight loss. They may also need a diet that is high in protein to prevent muscle wasting. Foods that are high in calories and protein include peanut butter, whole milk, milkshakes, meats, and cheeses. Some individuals with cancer develop an aversion to fats. If this happens, eat high-protein foods with a lower fat content such as low-fat shakes, yogurt, cottage cheese, lean meats. For the diet to remain well-balanced, you must eat fruits and vegetables. To increase calories, use more fruit juices or dried fruits rather than whole fruits. Choosing calorie-dense vegetables such as corn and peas will also increase the calories in the diet.

Side Effects:

Chewing and swallowing difficulty: Thick liquids such as milkshakes or semisolid foods like mashed potatoes and gravy may be easier to swallow and are less likely to cause aspiration (inhaling food).Pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea: Eating a meal immediately before or after the administration of the treatment may ease these symptoms. Your position while eating may also contribute to these symptoms. Taste alterations and aversions: Eat bland foods. Avoid strong flavors like spices, acidic foods, and sour tasting foods. Eat cold foods. Avoid hot or warm foods.Avoid foods with strong odors.

Acrylamide in Diet: Cancer Risk

Acrylamide is used in the manufacture of cosmetics, plastics, and food packaging. Until just a few years ago, cigarette smoke and occupational exposures were considered the main sources of exposure to the compound.
