INTRODUCTION Clean Food for Cancer

A CLEAN LIFE, A CLEAN BODY

There is an undeniable link between nutrition and cancer. The aim of this book is to not only investigate this link, but also to show you how diet and a ‘clean’ way of eating can contribute to both the prevention and treatment of cancer. You will find comments from dietitians, raw food experts and those in the meat industry, as well as statistics from some of the world’s leading cancer research institutions. In time, you will see that it all comes down to a simple truth: you cannot get healthy without eating healthy. If you put rubbish into your body, your body will in turn become rubbish. If you put wholesome, healthy and nutritional food into your body, your body will be wholesome, healthy and nourished.

Eating ‘clean’ means following a diet that ensures only the best and most healthy foods, like fresh fruits and vegetables, go into your body. It also means avoiding things that are not as clean, like refined sugars, snacks laden with salt, and trans-fats. There are many different ways to eat clean, which are outlined in the following chapters and are accompanied by personal stories from those who have either had cancer or have been through it with a loved one. My hope is that this information will firstly help you decide for yourself the impact clean eating can have on the prevention and treatment of cancer, as well as general health and well-being, and secondly show you how to go about it.

Good nutrition is vital for everyday living and even more so for people dealing with a life-threatening illness. The bottom line is that by eating clean, you can change your life.
