Jul 31, 2026Certain diet patterns seem to have a major effect in helping people diagnosed with cancer to live longer, healthier lives. According to the National Cancer Institute, 90% or more of cancer cases stem from environmental and lifestyle factors and are potentially preventable. In this class you will learn about the right food choices that can help reduce your risk of developing cancer as well as prevent a recurrence.We will make Easy Bean Salad, Black Bean Dip with Baked Tortilla Chips, Veggies in a Blanket, Sampling of Nondairy Milks· Class 2: Fueling Up On Low-Fat, High-Fiber Foods August 1, 2026, 2pmDietary fat not only hinders the immune system, it also drives hormone production, which can meanhigher rates of hormone-related cancers such as breast and prostate cancers. Fiber helps your body rid itself of toxins, waste hormones, excess cholesterol, chemicals, and other undesirables. It is especially important in helping the immune system function properly, as well as facilitating the removal of waste from the body. Without fiber in the diet, these excess compounds are often reabsorbed into the blood-stream, leading to a possible increased risk of cancer. Steering clear of meat, dairy products, fried foods, and other fatty fare is an important first step in preventing and surviving cancer. The easiest way to be healthy is to build your meals from foods that are naturally low in fat and to use cooking methods that do not require added fats or oils. In this class you will learn how to prepare delicious, low-fat dishes made from whole grains, legumes, vegetables, and fruits.Will be making Roasted Red Pepper Hummus with Whole Wheat Pita Bread and Raw Vegetables, sweet-and-Sour Stir-Fry, Brown Rice, Gingered Melon· Class 3: Discovering Dairy and Meat Alternatives, August 7, 2026, 2pmWhen cancer researchers started to look for links between diet and cancer, one of the most noticeablefindings was that people who avoided meat and dairy products were much less likely to develop the dis-ease. Consuming dairy products causes worrisome biological changes in the body, including an increasein the amount of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in the bloodstream. Scientific studies have shownelevated IGF-1 levels to be a catalyst for the growth of breast and prostate cancer cells. Meat is anotherfood that may be linked to cancer and other illnesses. This link is in part due to the high-fat, high-iron,and fiber-free characteristics of meat compared to plant foods, as well as the formation of carcinogenswhen meats are cooked. These cancer-causing chemicals, called heterocyclic amines, tend to form within the meat tissue when exposed to high temperatures. In this class, you will explore a variety of vegetarian sources of protein, all of which are low in fat, high in fiber, and loaded with cancer-fighting nutrients.Will be making Chickpea Burgers, Tempeh Broccoli Sauté over Couscous, Chocolate Mousse with Fresh Fruit· Class 4: Cancer-Fighting Compounds and Healthy Weight Control, August 8, 2026, 2pmBoth antioxidants and the body’s immune system are critically important in fighting cancer. Cancer-fight-ing compounds such as antioxidants, mainly found in fruits and vegetables, assist in halting free-radicaldamage, which can otherwise lead to cancer development. Healthy weight control is also essential forwarding off a variety of chronic diseases. Studies have shown that slimmer people are less likely to devel-op cancer, compared with their heavier counterparts. Trimming excess weight may also improve survivalafter cancer has been diagnosed.
