Breast cancer patients can reduce the possible recurrence of cancer by concentrating their diets in plant-based sources, according to cancer specialists at The Cancer Project. Plant-based diets are good for any male or female, regardless of cancer -- but they become quite a bit more important if breast cancer is something you've faced and have successfully battled.
In fact, a senior nutritionist with The Cancer Project even stated that "Women coping with breast cancer deserve to know that plant-based diets and regular exercise can spell the difference between life and death." If that's not a stark reminder of the importance of a plant-based diet for breast cancer patients, I am not sure what is.
Chemotherapy can cause a loss of appetite to those nutritious and tasty meals (or even most food), which can lead to malnutrition or worse. What to do when you're going through traditional cancer treatments but must eat (very healthy, hopefully) in order to keep your body stocked with the tools to continue living?
