Gilda's Club Cancer Project Class

Both antioxidants and the body’s immune system are critically important in fighting cancer. Cancer-fighting

compounds such as antioxidants, mainly found in fruits and vegetables, assist in halting free-radical

damage, which can otherwise lead to cancer development. Healthy weight control is also essential for

warding off a variety of chronic diseases. Studies have shown that slimmer people are less likely to develop

cancer compared to their heavier counterparts. Trimming excess weight may also improve survival

after cancer has been diagnosed. In this class, the instructor will discuss and demonstrate healthful dishes

loaded with immune-boosting nutrients such as beta-carotene, lycopene, vitamin C, and zinc—helping

you learn how to easily and naturally maintain a healthy weight and a cancer-fighting nutritional regime.
