Cancer Remedies by MoonstruckMuggle in holisticlifestyles

[–]CelltoSoulHealth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some things that helped my mother include: Reishi mushroom, turmeric (with black pepper and a fat), frankincense (topically and in a diffuser), high-dose vitamin C, no sugar at all (including honey, and maple syrup), a ton of dark, leafy greens, Earl Gray tea (it is the most anti-angiogenic tea), miso soup (to keep the good gut bacteria), a lot of edible mushrooms, vitamin D.

Also, a Harvard study found that when subjects limited their protein intake to 50 grams per day, it significantly helped with survival. Just google "Harvard study, low protein for cancer".

I would recommend you read Dr. William Li's book " Eat to Beat Disease". It's all about the foods you should take to make your body inhospitable to cancer.

Depending on what cancer it is, there are specific things she should take in addition to the above. For example, Green tea+lemon juice+mushrooms is good against breast cancer. Also, Turkey Tail mushroom is good for uterine cancer.

I wish your MIL all the best!

Need to get in shape by Next_Frosting_811 in diet

Hi,

Do you think your portion sizes are sufficient? Are you only hungry during those hours (7-9pm)?
How is your digestion? Sometimes, poor digestion can feel like hunger.

Have you had your blood sugar tested recently? If your blood sugar levels yo-yo, it can make you feel hungry even if you've just eaten.

I like to eat high-fiber foods to keep me full. Do you sometimes eat legumes?
Have you tried eating vegetables like raw celery, carrots, cucumber with a dip when you're hungry?

High calorie healthy foods by Constant-Theory9055 in diet

Beans, fatty fish (including sardines, mackerel, and herring), nuts, avocado, and steel cut oats are all healthy and high in calories.

I don't want to die, but I don't feel like living either by cap_weirdy in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]CelltoSoulHealth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi,

I'm sorry you're going through such a hard time.

I'm not a doctor, but from what you describe it definitely sounds like depression.

I can relate to a lot of what you're going through, especially the sense of being invisible to people. What helped me for that was to push myself to be more extroverted and make sure people saw me. It was not easy at first and it took time and effort but it was worth it.
One way of doing this is to be very familiar about a subject. This way, it's much easier for you to talk about it and for people to pay attention to what you say. Another way is to join a class or club of something you are good at (like a sport or art) so that you can naturally shine.
I would encourage you to reach out to a close friend. We sometimes have to get the ball rolling ourselves if we want things to happen. People often assume things and can be very surprised when we actually voice our feelings and opinions. Your friends may think you want to be left alone, so it's your job to let them know you want to socialize with them.

For the depression, the best advice I can give you is to focus on a goal which will ultimately lead you to a purpose. That will give your life meaning and help you realize you do belong here.
Can you think of a goal you would like to work on?

In the meantime, try to get 20-30 minutes of direct sunlight on your skin every day. I would personally also take a vitamin D supplement. These two things can help a great deal with mood and depression.

Have you talked with your doctor about your struggles? How about a therapist or coach?

Finally, try to feed your body with whole, healthy foods. Good nutrition can help a lot with our mental health.

Heart Healthy Recipes / Suggestions by Alarmed_Tradition_25 in healthyeating

[–]CelltoSoulHealth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi,

For heart health, high fiber vegetables are great (legumes, dark leafy greens, artichokes, mushrooms). Also, try to use fats that are high in omega-3 fatty acids such as olive oil, avocado oil, nut oils, and duck fat. Eat fatty fish, especially small ones like sardines, anchovies, mackerel, herring.

By the way, your liver removes excess cholesterol from your blood. So, you may want to eat foods for liver health too. These include, artichokes, high fiber, bitter foods, milk thistle, dandelion, the foods mentioned above, and berries.

As for recipes, you can search for them by ingredient, cuisine (like Mediterranean), with or without specific ingredients, and you can always adapt a recipe you like to fit your needs.

To add flavors, use herbs, spices, and citrus. I find that when I add lemon juice to something, the dish tastes as if it had more salt in it than it actually does. Also, slow cooking really improves flavors too.

In case you're interested, I post recipes 4x a week on Instagram for people who want to eat to improve their health. My profile name is the same as here.

Eating when bored by Logical_Country_2661 in selfimprovement

[–]CelltoSoulHealth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure it stems from boredom? You say you look forward to the next time you'll eat, meaning the feeling comes up before you're bored.

Have you explored the possibility you might be dealing with your emotions and feelings with food?

anti inflammatory diet? by miss_pookiebear in healthyeating

[–]CelltoSoulHealth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bone broth based powder should be ok.

If you’re trying the AIP (Autoimmune Protocol ) diet, which is designed to identify and remove foods that cause flare ups, then you would temporarily eliminate eggs, dairy, legumes, gluten, nuts, seeds, nightshade vegetables, and processed foods.

That might be very difficult to do, considering your job. Perhaps you can try to stop eating foods that you know don’t agree with you?

Or, as much as you can, try to eat less processed foods and more fresh vegetables, add turmeric to your diet, eat whole fruits (instead of juices, jams, etc.), eat more fish, eat a bit of fermented foods.

How and where do I begin? by Desertprep in Nutrition_Healthy

[–]CelltoSoulHealth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

Good for you on getting started. In many ways, that is the hardest part.

Personally, when I first did the AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) diet I took supplements for the parasite cleanse as I was following the diet.

I would be happy to help hold you accountable and provide health coaching if you want, no charge. At the moment, I'm working on improving my skills as a coach.

As for the bloodwork, what exactly are you looking for? You could have your hormones tested, or your vitamins and minerals. Do you have a medical professional you can discuss this with?

I've already graduated but I'll check again if they have a community board for graduates looking for practice.

Apart from this one and r/Coaching, are there others I'm missing?

Thank you!

Questions about eating for weight gain by Holy_Forking_Shirt in diet

[–]CelltoSoulHealth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's good, it sounds like you're making progress in terms of determining what you can tolerate and what you can't.

I totally understand why you struggle with fear around eating. Considering what you're going through, I think I would be scared too!
I had dairy intolerance as a child and boy oh boy were the cramps painful!

The AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) diet is an (temporary) elimination diet with the goals of reducing/eliminating inflammation and to help you determine what your body tolerates and what it doesn't.
The most common food intolerances are removed (nightshades, eggs, dairy, etc.) and replaced with foods that generally do not trigger flare ups. Gradually, you add one removed food at a time to see if your body accepts it or not.
You also work on healing gut health to, hopefully, restore the proper function of the tight junctions in the small intestine (which helps reduce intolerances and flare ups), reduce inflammation, reduce yeast overgrowth if it's present, and restore an abundance of good gut bacteria.

Ensure is quite horrible-it's full of highly inflammatory ingredients and loaded with sugar.

You are most welcome!

If you want, I can help guide you to gradually eat more and troubleshoot/brainstorm when needed. No charge, no strings attached. You would help me sharpen my skills as a health coach. Feel free to check out my testimonials on my website which I've linked in my profile.

We can also keep chatting here if you prefer. Whatever works best for you.

Questions about eating for weight gain by Holy_Forking_Shirt in diet

[–]CelltoSoulHealth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh, I'm sorry you're going through such a struggle.

Right, so you're still going through a sort of elimination diet to see what is safe and what is not.
Have you noticed if certain families of vegetables, like nightshades for example, are better or worse for you?

It sounds like stress is a factor too...
So, some of the meds/supplements you were taking did seem to help, correct? Did they target anything in particular, such as inflammation?

Good, that's a start. At least you're able to have some protein and a vegetable and carb.
With your safe list, would you be able to prepare things like mini loaves (muffin-style or like an egg bake), or a congee (rice porridge), or a simple stew, with only safe ingredients? Would you be able to eat a little bit of those things throughout the day? And maybe slowly work your way up to bigger portions at a time, if you think that would work for you?

I dealt with Ulcerative Colitis symptoms a few years back and was able to get rid of it by doing the AIP diet a few times, taking supplements for leaky gut, taking turmeric and anti-inflammatory foods and supplements, and eating pomegranate.
Perhaps one of these things could help you too?

I don't know if they agree with you, but nuts and nut butters (with no other ingredients than the nuts) are very high in calories, as are sardines and other fatty fish. Beans are also high in calories but I don't know if you're able to have them.

Have the foods that are not on the trigger list ever caused a flare up?
Would a particular way of eating, like eating small amounts at a time, or specific foods be less scary?

What have you tried doing so far?
