Cancer Survivors

You probably already know that eating well and staying active can promote overall health and a sense of well being. But did you know that making such adjustments may also help to prevent cancer and after diagnosis help keep cancer from returning? Research that has been building for years suggests that healthy diets can actually help your body prevent or even halt the development of many cancers. Scientists suspect that the same dietary changes recommended for cancer prevention may also aid in fending off both recurrence and secondary cancers.

Many factors influence the development of cancer. During the last 20 years, science has shown that diet is one of them. By following a healthy diet and staying physically active, we can boost our own body’s capacity to resist cancer. Study after study shows that a healthful diet – one high in a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans, and low in fat – can fight cancer at several stages. Scientists have known for some time that these foods contain nutrients that help defend the body against disease.

The Kiona Foundation Holistic Health Center offers a variety of programs and services dedicated to promoting cancer survivorship and to bring awareness to the devastating effects of a cancer diagnosis through educating the general public about the seriousness of this disease and alternative complementary treatment options. Events focusing on celebrating cancer survivorship and raising awareness relating to cancer diagnosis through education are held throughout the year.
