There’s an ongoing question in the world that touches on a simple yet extremely poignant point: If you knew how long you had to live, would you live your life differently?

Try to reduce the amount of sugar that you consume, as part of your daily diet. Cancer cells grow faster when they have a supply of glucose, so reducing your intake of sugar could slow down the rate a which the cells multiply. Do not expect to battle cancer with small changes like these. You will have to transform your lifestyle and work hard.
Nutrition
Some people diagnosed with cancer choose to opt out of conventional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation due to the damage they can cause to the body. They turn instead to alternative treatments such as nutrition therapy and vitamin therapy among many others. Some (but not all) of these treatments have been shown to shrink tumors and prolong life. Always check with your doctor before beginning any unconventional therapies.
Nutrition can play a key role in helping a cancer patient rev up their immune system and stay strong. Experts recommend a healthy diet that is rich in plant-based products, including lots of fruits, veggies, nuts and quality whole grains. Minimize processed foods and refined sugars, and try to limit meat and dairy to just one-third of your total caloric intake.
Health Food
Cancer patients have to deal with many discomforts while being treated for their disease. One irritating side effect of chemotherapy is mouth sores or sore, irritated throat caused by chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

Simply walking around your block a few times, can be a great start to living a healthier lifestyle.
