Re: Looking for suggested diet for CML Leukemia
Hi KathyG,
Below is what I've found after a Yahoo search:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leukemia
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) occurs mainly in adults. .... Diet has very limited or no effect, although eating more vegetables may confer a small ...
My mother adopted a vegetarian diet + multivitamin + an egg and a glass of milk a day in her early 60's. She trimmed down quite a bit within a few years and has been maintaining a 'good' weight. She's a 13-year Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma now at age 87 (turning 88 in a couple of months.) She has resumed regular diet since her NHL diagnosis.
'I think' walking 30 minutes a day is a good way to try. Once it becomes a routine, you can increase the speed to burn more calories. Eating a lot of watermelon seems to decrease my appetite quite a bit - though I need to gain instead of lose weight. Since many vegetables/fruits contain phytochemicals and exercise increases the release of endorphin, I'd think a vegetarian diet + regular exercise is the way to go.
