Dr Leigh Erin Connealy outlines the best foods and recipes for healing your body from cancer or keeping it cancerfree
The Best Cancer Diet

Hippocrates, widely regarded as said, "Let food be thy medicine and let medicine be thy food." He was spot on. What we eat and drink could very well be the primary indicator of whether a person develops cancer, overcomes it or avoids it entirely. And eating the right types of food if you do find yourself battling cancer or another chronic disease is vital.

Think of the body as a machine that needs quality energy sources to run smoothly. The proper types of satiating protein, low-glycemic carbohydrates and healthful fats are the fuels that "machine" needs to function optimally. "Dead foods" like processed cookies, crackers, and macaroni and cheese are full of empty calories, the wrong type of carbohydrates, and a laundry list of hard-to-read and potentially problematic ingredients.

On the other hand, real food-fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, meats (particularly organ meats), nuts and healthy oils can truly heal.

Let's take a closer look at the foods you should eat for energy and wellness and those you should avoid at all costs.

Why a low-carb, moderate-protein, high-fat diet is best

For good health in general, particularly if you are following an anti-cancer diet, you'll want to eat foods that are low in carbohydrates, moderate in protein and high in healthy fats. This way of eating is sometimes referred to as a ketogenic diet, and it completely changes the way your body uses energy.

Back in 2012, professor and researcher Dr Thomas Seyfried, PhD, published revolutionary findings that suggested cancer is a metabolic disease and, as such, has a metabolic cure. Expanding on the findings of Otto Warburg, who proposed that all cancers are a disease of energy metabolism, Dr Seyfried's studies revealed that lab mice with brain tumors responded remarkably well to fasting and calorie restriction.
