Specific Areas of Life

Here are just a few things you might find useful or that inspire you to embrace your life after breast cancer…

 

Healthy Eating after Breast Cancer

If you are what you eat, then a healthy diet should be a key part of your wellness plan. In most respects, the advice for survivors coming to terms with life after breast cancer is similar to that for all women who are interested in optimal nutrition. However, studies to date have failed to find a strong relationship between dietary fat and the development of breast cancer, but in women who already have had the disease, a few studies have suggested that a low-fat diet may be linked to lower incidents of recurrence and better survival rates. We discover what women are doing to help themselves live a healthier life after breast cancer through diet and nutrition – or is the best advice simply: “a little of what you love does you good”?
