Foods for Breast Cancer Prevention and Survival

Food for Life is an award-winning Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) program designed by physicians, nurses, and registered dietitians that focuses on the lifesaving effects of healthful eating.  

Certain diet patterns seem to have a major effect in helping cancer survivors to live longer, healthier lives. Numerous studies have shown that a diet built from plant foods offers the most cancer-fighting protection of any diet plan. Reviews by the American Institute for Cancer Research showed that as much as 40 percent of cancer risk may be related to diet. The Food for Life: Cancer Project classes offer a unique opportunity to acquire knowledge about the link between diet and cancer, experience the benefits of plant-based nutrition, and learn the practical cooking skills needed to help you on your journey to better health.

This class looks at the research behind increased prevention and survival rates for those individuals diagnosed with breast cancer.  Factors discussed include reduced fat intake, increased consumption of vegetables and fruits for a greater fiber intake, and exercise.

Receive cutting edge scientific information on diet, nutrition and disease, as well as a cooking demonstration of 3 recipes, along with food sampling of the most delicious and nutritious plant based dishes.  Class handouts and copies of recipes included
