encore

 I was invited to do a nutrition talk to the local Encore group 
 (run by Ywca) last month. Encore is working with breast        cancer  victims, to give them support both during and after  breast cancer treatments. They offer them exercises with e.g. yoga instructors, aquatic teachers etc. to help them both physically and mentally in their recovery.
We talked about the importance of keeping a good  diet, and why it is important. When your body get sick and you may have to undergo treatment such as chemo and radiation therapy, it makes a massive impact on your body and mind. To help getting through the worst time and to help with the recovery, nutrition plays a big part. It doesn’t just only give your body the help to fight inflammation and to heal, it also affects your immune system and your mental health.
We discussed the importance of eating a balanced diet, to avoid heavily processed foods, add plenty of vegetables and fruits, and lean proteins. The discussion also included how to make changes and that healthy foods is often very affordable.
Thanks ladies, for having me, and thanks Encore for your amazing and important work you do!
