The goal of this program is to empower cancer survivors, their friends, and their family members with practical cooking skills and tips that turn every meal into a delicious dose of healthy nutrition.
Certain diet patterns seem to have a major effect in helping people diagnosed with cancer to live longer, healthier lives. The National Cancer Institute research shows that as much as 50% of cancer risk may be related to diet. In this class, you will learn about the right food choices that can help reduce the risk of developing cancer as well as overcome the disease after it has been diagnosed.
ABOUT THE CLASS(ES)
The Cancer Project promotes cancer prevention and survival through a better understanding of cancer causes, particularly the link between nutrition and cancer. Through research, education, and advocacy, we are saving lives. The Food for Life Nutrition and Cooking Class Series was launched in 2001 to help cancer survivors take advantage of the healing power of foods. Designed by physicians, nutrition experts, and registered dietitians, each class includes information about how certain foods and nutrients work to promote or discourage cancer growth, along with cooking demonstrations of simple and healthy recipes that can be recreated easily at home. Research from the National Cancer Institute shows that as much as 50% of cancer risk may be related to diet. The right food choices can reduce our risk of developing cancer and help us beat the disease after it has been diagnosed. But what exactly is a healthy diet? And how do we translate complex scientific research into simple, easy-to-prepare meals?
