Cancer, the C word, is a word everyone is intimate with these days. It’s no longer something that you’ve heard about, like a distant notion that doesn’t resonate. Cancer has touched most of us intimately, whether it’s a friend or family member.

While there have been several approaches, experimental treatments, and drug therapies tried by the medical establishment, they seem to lack a key factor. Nutrition has been shown in many studies to have a huge impact on every area of health, and cancer is no different.

Interestingly, Europe is much more advanced in this area than we are over here in North America. The link between cancer and nutrition is well established in the European arena, while the America medical establishment doesn’t seem willing to consider it’s impact.

In Europe for example, they understand the role that sugar plays in the body where cancer is concerned. Sugar provides a perfect environment for cancer growth, so many European cancer therapies incorporate carbohydrate restriction. By doing so, the cancer cells are in effect starved. Remove the cancer’s preferred food source, and you remove the mechanism for growth. Combine this with drug or surgical therapies, and the results are significantly better than the typical American approach to single storey.

And of course, eating healthy provides your body with the resources it needs to fight off and recover from cancer. Many people have found a diet consisting of a high amount of raw or lightly steamed vegetables is very helpful. Vegetables are powerful sources of nutrients and anti-oxidants, and most are low in sugar too. Raw vegetables are high in enzymes which helps take the strain off your body when it comes to digestion.

Adding a sound nutritional approach to a cancer fighting plan is something anyone dealing with the dreaded C word should consider. Empowering the body with proper nutrition can only help when it comes to recovering from something as draining as cancer can be. Consider sugar and carbohydrate restriction as well. Take a hint from the Europeans and starve that cancer.
