                                             the cerix, † decided to adopt a healthier lifestyle to support my medical treatment

                                             make the necessary changes 
                                                   There is more information aailable now than a decade ago but much of it is 
                                             confusing and not based on solid medical science oreoer, while many cancer-
                                             preention books issue theoretical dietary recommendations, few proide guidance on 
                                             practical ways of applying these in our busy day-to-day lies This is why † decided to 
                                             write this book 
                                                   y first aim is to help you rediscoer the guilt-free pleasure of eating healthy, 
                                             delicious food any of us worry about the potential health risks of what we eat 
                                             ‹ith respect to highly processed factory foods, such fears may be  ustified oweer, 
                                             when healthy eating feels like a grim duty or a  oyless medical prescription, † do not 
                                             beliee that it can fulfill its true ob ectie 
                                                   † say‘ ’et’s put pleasure back on the menu“ ‹hen en oying a aried diet of fresh, 
                                             natural ingredients such as the one described in this book, don’t be afraid of your 
                                             food‘ saor it, hae fun with it and celebrate it †t’s the editerranean way 
                                                   ’et’s also put common sense back on the menu ”dding turmeric to eery dish 
                                             we eat, or consuming a pound of raw cabbage daily because we hae heard that it 
                                             may be beneficial, isn’t common sense †f anything, we should aoid repetitie, one-
                                             dimensional dietsˆ as we will see later, the healthiest diet is one that is rich in a wide 
                                             variety of fresh, natural ingredients, carefully prepared and en oyed with a positie

                                             a nobleman, supper like a pauper,” “chew your food properly” and “don’t snack 
                                             between meals”„ the western world would probably not be plagued with cancer, 
                                             heart disease, diabetes and obesity

                                             egetables, putting a little more thought and time into what we consume, eating 
                                             meals €rather than snacks„ and en oying these at dining tables instead of desks or
