Try eliminating sugar and processed foods. Sugar gives me an instant migraine. The existing nurse at MDA tells breast cancer patients not to consue sugar; she says cancer grows with sugar.

Put greens into a smoothie.

I already like green vegetables, and incorporate them into our daily meals. We’re trying to eat less meat and a more plant- based diet. It’s tempting to get those processed foods to make mealtime easier, but all I have to do is read the label to see how much fat, sodium and other undesirable ingredients are in there. Giving up sugar is a whole other prospect. Getting my husband to take a sugar vacation will be a challenge. He’s in great shape, weighs the same as when he graduated high school, walks or runs every day, and never gets cavities. But does he ever have a sweet tooth. So I will have to take that challenge on my own. Stopping sugar would probably make a lot of things better. Do you have an aversion to sugar after being away from it for a while? What do you do for dessert or a treat? Thanks for the tips! SJD
