Diet And Fighting Bladder Cancer

This book is partly based on research funded by Wereld Kanker Onderzoek Fonds based in the Netherlands and administered by the World Cancer Research Fund International grant program.Every year half a million of people worldwide are diagnosed with bladder cancer. With the recent zeitgeist of the self-empowered, intelligent patient who wishes to be well-informed, many cancer patients do not solely want to rely on decisions taken by medical practitioners, but actively participate in the journey from sickness to health or disease. While no books about the relationship between diet and bladder cancer currently exist, the poor quality of the existing information about the relationship between diet and health is shocking. Much of the information is exaggerated, not evidence-based, misleading and sometimes even incorrect. Dr. Maurice Zeegers, one of the world leading bladder cancer epidemiologists, and his co-authors set the record straight with this book on Diet and Fighting Bladder Cancer. Their aim is to provide purely evidence-based information about the relationship between diet and bladder cancer. The primary audience is bladder cancer patients who wish to be well-informed, although clinicians and healthcare workers may also find the book an interesting read. The book gives an honest reflection on what scientists know, but also what they don't yet know about how diet contributes to all stages of this important disease. Although science-based, the book is written in an easy-to-read format, illustrated with practical recipes.

This book provides basic information about cancer, as well as detailed advice and a comprehensive diet plan to help fight a personal battle with cancer and significantly improve chances of a cure. There are complex processes inside the human body and specific mechanisms that can lead to the development and spread of cancer cells. Understanding the causes for what is happening inside the body is the key to implementing the recommendations in this guide. Using these recipes and nutritional strategies will cut dramatically down on sugar in order to deplete the strength and replicatory power of the cancer cells while in treatment. Since the cancer cells thrive and multiply on sugar, reducing and/or eliminating sugar quite literally starves them. Implementing this diet and nutrition strategy makes cancer treatment more effective. The 150 recipes are delicious, easy-to-make and there's a recipe for every meal and occasion. Here's just a small sample: Paprika Cheese Spread Eggplant Carpaccio with Pecorino Cream Camembert with Ramp Vinaigrette Salmon Pancake Rolls Stir-Fried Asparagus and Tofu Peach and Berry Salad with Fizzy Zabaglione. The importance of a careful diet for good health, is also the active ingredient in a fight against cancer.

Bladder cancer starts when cells that make up the urinary bladder start to grow out of control. As more cancer cells develop, they can form a tumor and, with time, spread to other parts of the body. (To learn more about how cancers start and spread, see What Is Cancer?)The bladder is a hollow organ in the lower pelvis. It has flexible, muscular walls that can stretch to hold urine and squeeze to send it out of the body. The bladder's main job is to store urine. Urine is liquid waste made by the 2 kidneys and then carried to the bladder through 2 tubes called ureters. When you urinate, the muscles in the bladder contract, and urine is forced out of the bladder through a tube called the urethra.

Vegetarianism is the practice of following a plant-based diet with or without the inclusion of dairy and eggs. Many people think that a life without meat would be boring, unhealthy, and damaging to your body. This is a common misconception seeing as vegetarianism has many benefits for the human body. Switching to a vegetarian diet helps lower cholesterol, control diabetes, prevent cancer, and retain vitamins. There has always been a concern among non-vegetarians about the supposed lack of protein that vegetarian's ingest. There should be no concern about this. For the most part, Americans eat more protein than their bodies need. Too much protein can lead to cancer, kidney disease, and bone loss. There are many other foods with high amounts of protein including eggs, soy, dairy, beans, quinoa, and legumes. As long as a practicing vegetarian eats one of these daily, he will take in the appropriate amount of protein needed for his body to function. The four main food groups of healthy vegetarians are fruit, legumes, vegetables, and whole grains. These foods provide enough of the amino acids necessary to live a healthy life.

Presents a collection of recipes for dishes that emphasize grains, vegetables, fruits, and beans.

This book explores in depth the relation between physical activity and cancer control, including primary prevention, coping with treatments, recovery after treatments, long-term survivorship, secondary prevention, and survival. The first part of the book presents the most recent research on the impact of physical activity in preventing a range of cancers. In the second part, the association between physical activity and cancer survivorship is addressed. The effects of physical activity on supportive care endpoints (e.g., quality of life, fatigue, physical functioning) and disease endpoints (e.g., biomarkers, recurrence, survival) are carefully analyzed. In addition, the determinants of physical activity in cancer survivors are discussed, and behavior change strategies for increasing physical activity in cancer survivors are appraised. The final part of the book is devoted to special topics, including the relation of physical activity to pediatric cancer survivorship and to palliative cancer care.
