All of you who know my husband Alberto know that he is a very sporty person and he loves his "healthy" diet, well....he likes cookies more than he admits. Lately he has been really focus on understanding the effects of some super food in your diet, you can ask him anything about flax seeds, kale ( Kelley bakes it for me every week!), soy, germ, green tea and more. Since I was diagnosed with Cancer he has introduced me to all of them and tried to educate the benefits of all these products. I kind of get it but sometimes I prefer a toast for breakfast than cereal with flax seeds, so like a child I agree to eat it even if I don't fully like it.
Today I read a really interesting book that my friend Mariam brought me: "The breast cancer survival manual". There are a few charters about nutrition and exercise during chemo treatment to help body to repair, and nutrition after treatment to avoid recurrence. I was amazed by the importance of these super food in your diet, all of them provide the healthy way of having the right fat and antioxidants in your body and recommended as a must in your diet.
I recommend you to check a look at some of these products when you have got a moment and see if you can change some of your current foods for these super food substitutes. I think by the end of these process I will be an expert so feel free to ask...
Hola!
ReplyDeleteSoy Ainara, la hermana de Ixone que vivió con Alberto en Londres.
Ya te sigo el blog, yo también estoy como tu... bueno sin marido ni niño, asi que solo tengo que preocuparme por mi... y voy un poco mas adelantada en el tratamiento, (empecé en abril)
Espero que todo siga bien y la energía que transmites te ayudará a pasar los días malos.
Me he leido toda tu historia, y me has dejado impresionada con la decisión de las dos mastectomías... uuuffff... eres una valiente!!
Yo también estoy escribiendo un blog, te lo paso por si quieres echar un vistazo. (no se si te lo han pasado ya)
A mi también me ayuda mucho escribir y desahogarme.

Hi Mila,
ReplyDeleteDon't know how I missed your email with Blog information last week but just spotted it and spent some time reading up! You've kept busy writing this past week!
Thank you for sharing your experiences here and with me. I love your honesty -- I do see you as such a strong person -- but I now I know you have weak moments too, and it is only normal.
I've been thinking of you often these past weeks and was glad to glance back and see you at church this morning. I am sure gaining strength for what tomorrow brings.
I choose to post to your Superfood blog because last week I sat next to a lady with a funky drink -- I knew immediately it was MILA (you had just introduced it to me at Lorraines). It was and she was the chief distributor in this area...she was really impressed with me..and even more impressed that my friend MILA was talking about it;) How are you liking it -- do you drink it or cook with it? I was invited to a cooking demonstration this coming Thursday and now will consider it since it might be a good way to add some super foods to my diet, but would love your feedback.
Anyway, don't know if you'd rather me post here or email you but wanted to let you know I was thinking of you. Even met a girl at a birthday party yesterday named Mila -- your spirit is everywhere and I'm sending all my strenght to you today and this week!
Hi Jill,i eat MILA and flax seed everyday with cereal or yoghurt, I think my energy levels have been increased with them. Let me know what you learn n the cooking demonstration, I d not cook them now.
