Hello Everyone,
I came across this PDF which I felt would be of interest to the group working on the recipe section of the heatly guide. This mainly pretains to those already diagnosed with cancer and the article addresses the need for patients undergoing chemotherapy to be mindful of what they eat and how they prepare it. Chemotherapy weakens the body's immune system and makes the individual more susceptible to infections especially those brought on by foodborne illness. I'm not sure if you guys are only adding recipes to fight cancer or if you are also including recipes for those diagnosed with cancer, but it would be great if you could incorporate some of the information from this PDF.
Now that I think about it, we should organize the recipe section some more. Maybe we can separate it by targeting people who want to eat foods to prevent cancer and targeting people who already have cancer.
ReplyDeleteI think we discussed it in class that our target would be the youth. We would write this guide to help them become more knowledgeable about cancer and give them ways to possibly PREVENT it from manifesting in their body...
ReplyDeleteNonetheless, it would be good to add a section for people who already have cancer.
This is a great, easy to read article. I think it would be a great idea to include some of the foods mentioned because not only are they helpful in stopping tumor progression in patients that already have cancer, but also for preventing development of cancer.
