The overhaul of my health begins with the primary pillars of Diet, Meditation, Sleep and Supplements;
The diet:
* NO Refined Sugar
* NO Dairy
* NO Grains
* NO Soy
* NO Fried foods
A typical day will consist of:
Breakfast = 2 serves of fruit plus 2 eggs poached, steamed spinach, grilled mushrooms or tomatoes
Mid-morning = handful of almonds or walnuts plus a serve of fruit
Lunch = 150gms protein and 3 cups fresh salad with avocado
Afternoon = handful of almonds or walnuts plus a serve of fruit
Dinner = 150gms protein and 2 cups fresh salad and 2 cups cooked vegetables
Supper = Herbal tea
Drink 10 glasses of water a day
Meditation and Sleep
Meditate twice a day for 10-15 minutes
Aim for 8 hours sleep a night
Supplements
Femme Essentials
BioQ150
Cell Protect
Lipoic
Fibroplex Plus
C-Ultrascorb
Gluthathione
Calcium D-Glucarate
Note to self - must actually find out what these are before pumping them in to my body!
The likelihood of seeing these strict guidelines through with two small children, a marathon training husband, a job and generally speaking a life (!) is....well, not high. But then I think, Cancer is a fairly significant catalyst. Even if I only get half way there, it's an improvement. Oh but to say goodbye to Haigh's chocolate frogs and Lindt balls - man I hate cancer!!!
Yikes. In comparison, what does a mainstream medical practitioner recommend (e.g. oncologist or other such person)?
ReplyDeleteThat's a very good question! The oncologist is more pragmatic about the diet but was supportive of following the Healthy Food Pyramid...in fact she said a healthy diet and regular exercise are the foundations for just about everything (from living well, to fighting disease, to speedier recovery). The supplements she was not so keen on and wanted further research...so that's underway! I tell you, so much advise, it starts to do your head in
