Nutrition That Fights Cancer

1/8/2020

When your body is fighting cancer, nutrition can be a powerful ally. Fresh foods that are low in sugar can be extremely helpful in reducing inflammation and boosting your immune system. Here are some examples of foods that can help fight cancer and how they support your body:

• Broccoli: boosts detoxifying enzymes

• Berries: phytochemicals support the immune system

• Leafy greens: beta-carotene and lutein to limit cancer cell growth

• Tomatoes: lycopene is an antioxidant that protects cells

• Walnuts: phytosterols slow cancer growth by blocking estrogen pathways

• Avocado: oleic acid helps fight breast cancer

• Garlic: phytochemicals reduce carcinogen formation in the stomach

• Turmeric: slows the spread of cancer and starves tumors

For recipes and even more information on this, we’ll be speaking at Gilda’s Clubhouse Evansville (5740 Vogel Road) this morning at 11:30 as we cover “Customizing for Chemo”. The event is FREE and you’ll learn how nutrition can help your body during the healing process.

Amanda is a mother of three (10, 7, and 5) and has been married for 14 years. My weight loss journey started July 17, 2008, one day after my daughter's first birthday. Tipping the scales at 235 pounds at 5'3, being an over weight, over tired, out of shape role model no longer appealed to me and I knew it was time for a change. Three pregnancies later, I had lost a total of 105 pounds. I had run 2 marathons and dozens of half marathons. Something was missing. I was thin, but I wasn't fit. I wasn't healthy. I could feel it in my insides. I was 136 pounds and a size 8. Something didn't add up. I got my certification in personal training, nutrition, weight management, and dove into supplementation and whole foods. 90 days later, I gained 10 pounds and lost two pants sizes (8 to a 4).

Continuing on this path, all of my clients wanted to know how I was doing it. I always dreamed of creating a business that truly added value to people and improved their health. My husband, Grant, and I decided it was time to take that leap.

December 9, 2016, Simply Prepped Meals was born. Based around the mission of providing whole food based nutrition to people's doorsteps, we set out to create a new idea that fast food didn't have to be expensive or bad for you. Six months later, we built our permanent location in Cynthiana, IN. Then, January 2, 2018, we entered into a partnership with the YMCA of Southern Indiana to continue spreading the word of meal prep and eating with purpose.

Amanda coaches individually as well as continues to drive their business. Any questions about personal coaching can be directed to her at [email protected]
