Profound Guide To Alkaline Diet for Cancer Patients

by Donald Wilson

There's so much information surrounding cancer and diet that it can be hard to separate the myths from the facts. That's especially true when it comes to trendy diets.The alkaline diet is one such trendy diet that often comes up in conversations about both cancer treatment and prevention. So, to learn more about this diet we talked to Maria Petzel, a senior clinical dietitian at MD Anderson. Some studies have shown that acidic environments help cancer cells grow. So the idea is that a diet high in alkaline foods (high pH) and low in acidic foods will raise the body's pH levels (make the body more alkaline) and prevent or even cure cancer.It should be noted that these are studies of cancer cells in a dish and do not represent the complex nature of how tumors behave in the human body. And food cannot change the pH of your blood. Research shows that there's no one diet or food that can cure cancer. But proper nutrition can help you feel your best during cancer treatment - or at any time.That's why it's so important to talk to a doctor or a dietitian before beginning a new diet. This is true regardless of whether you have cancer. Different diet plans work for different people, and your doctor or dietitian can help you determine if a new diet will help you reach your health goals.
