Improving cancer survival with diet and lifestyle choices

Eating well and positive lifestyle choices are an important part of reducing a person’s risk of cancer. But when it comes to food choices for people who have survived cancer, key themes surface. A healthy diet and other lifestyle changes are just as important to improve the chances of surviving cancer and reducing its chance of coming back. In this podcast, I’ll look at what the scientific evidence says about lifestyle choices in improving cancer survivability and what are the key recommendations someone with cancer should aim for.Links referred to in the podcastAdherence to cancer prevention guidelines and cancer survivability https://ascopubs.org/doi/full/10.1200/JCO.2012.45.4462Meta-analysis of the effect of diet on mortality and cancer recurrence among cancer survivors https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5181206Physical activity and cancer survival in men http://journals.humankinetics.com/doi/abs/10.1123/jpah.2011-0257Physical activity and colon cancer recurrence https://ascopubs.org/doi/full/10.1200/jco.2006.06.0863 Alternative cancer diets https://ar.iiarjournals.org/content/34/1/39Episode transcriptTo access the full episode transcript, go to the following link and select the individual podcast episode and then click on the ‘Transcript’ tab https://thinkingnutrition.buzzsprout.comConnect with meInstagram: doctimcroweFacebook: Thinking NutritionTwitter: CroweTim
