Food for Life: Cancer Project

In this special stand-alone class, we will learn about Foods and Breast Cancer Survival.  This class looks at the research behind increased prevention and survival rates for those individuals diagnosed with breast cancer.  Factors discussed include reduced fat intake, increased consumption of vegetables and fruits for a greater fiber intake, and exercise.  Dr. Neal Barnard highlights various studies like the Women's Healthy Eating and Living (WHEL) Study, which reported greater protection from breast cancer when women consumed at least five vegetable and fruit servings daily.  This class offers a warm, supportive, and empowering atmosphere, discussion, and the sampling of delicious health-promoting recipes!
