Cancer = Fatigue

There's a marvelous article in this month's Women & Cancer (Summer 2009) which gives some hints as to how to beat the fatigue that cancer will inevitably cause. Here are some of their suggestions.

*Eat small, frequent meals.

*Choose low glycemic foods such as whole grains, brown rice, oatmeal, and green vegetables.

*Eat a little more protein than normal (easy-to-digest protein, such as whey powder, is best).

*Choose healthy fats, such as olive oil or almond butter.

*Stay hydrated.

*Avoid stimulants, such as caffeine and chocolate.

*Avoid refined sugar.
