Eating the "Fit 50"
The old saying, “You are what you eat” couldn’t be more true. What we choose to put in our mouths, can either nourish and support our cells, allowing them to duplicate into more happy healthy cells, or it can deprive our cells of the building blocks they require to thrive, duplicating damaged cells. When our cells are deficient of essential nutrient, they can become corrupted and start to mutate, which can lead to the development of degenerative diseases.
We know that 90-95% of all cancers are caused by diet and lifestyle decisions however, in the prevention; or treatment of cancer, very rarely is diet and lifestyle highlighted as one of the possible causes. Sadly, no amount of medication, surgery or treatments can permanently fix a dietary related disease, unless the actual cause of the disease is also addressed.
So, how do we know which foods to eat and which ones to avoid? To answer that question and provide you with some clarity around what to eat and drink to help boost your immune system, reduce inflammation and nourish your body and cells, we have researched and compiled a list of the top fifty foods which have the most significant natural anti-cancer or immune boosting properties.
We like to call this list “The FIT50”
If you are not well, it’s likely that one of the ways your family and friends will express their love is by bringing you food. Before long, you will have a freezer full of Tupperware containers that you can no longer remember which one belongs to who. While you don’t want to be ungrateful or waste food, it is incredibly important that every meal you eat is made from whole foods which are going to help heal you from the inside out.
Unfortunately, you will likely be presented with meals full of refined carbohydrates such as pastas and cakes. To save your friends and family time and money and ensure they are really adding value to you and your health (Which is ultimately what they want to do but often don’t know how), it is a great idea to let your friends and family know that you are changing the way you are eating and will be refraining from eating any processed foods until you are well again.
We suggest printing a list of the FIT50 food list and give to family and friends and let them know that if they would like to prepare some meals for you, please prepare them using foods only listed on the Fit 50.
