Nutrition: Starving Cancer
SqueezeItIn.com Girls | October 30, 2009
Here is this week’s powerful breast cancer fighting tip from Nikki Ver Steeg, a Registered Dietician, Certified Wellness Coach, and founder of Your Diet Designer, LLC .
If you knew how to starve cancer, would you do it? Some food choices starve that cancer and some feed it. As you fight for your life, be sure to starve that cancer! Starve it by not eating a lot of sugar and processed carbs like white bread, processed cereals, soda, candy, etc. These items either contain an excess amount of sugar or they are converted to sugar easily in your system. Cancer loves sugar! Remember, you are an active part in the fight against breast cancer. Do your part by consuming less processed carbohydrates and sugar-filled snacks.

Stand with rake extended in front of body. (See top photo.)
While raking leaves in toward you, kick your right leg slowly behind you. (See bottom photo.)
Hold rake in front of chest with arms fully extended. Feet should be shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent.
Keep your core engaged and slowly bring the rake straight up overhead. Just as slowly, lower rake down to starting position in front of chest.
To add a stretch: Hold rake above head and slowly bend to one side. Keep hips facing forward and bend from your waist allowing arms to follow. This move originates from your waist. Keep your lower body still as you do these stretches. Hold for 10 seconds and then come back to starting position with rake raised above your head.
Squat down to grab some leaves. Keep your weight in your heels and make sure your knees do not extend in front of your toes.
As you come up slowly twist from your waist to drop the leaves in the bag. Hold this twist – abs tight – for a 3-count of “Squeeze-It-In” before returning to center and squatting down to grab more leaves.
