Recipes

InspireHealth’s approach to nutrition is a simple one: enjoy wholesome foods that nature provides, and reduce processed and refined foods. A whole food
is one that can be grown, raised, harvested, or hunted. Whole foods contain the nutrients we need to nourish our bodies most appropriately. The original and preferred sources of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids are whole foods. Cancer and its treatment can cause changes in digestion and absorption leading to symptoms of gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, food aversions, nausea and/or loss or gain of appetite and weight. Focusing on healthy eating after a diagnosis of cancer may help to reduce some of the symptoms of cancer and side effects of treatment.

The good news is that preparing and eating whole, natural, unrefined foods does not need to be time-consuming or labour intensive. With some guidance, cooking whole foods from scratch can be a simple, inspirational practice. Now is the perfect time to adopt or enhance a nourishing diet and create
healthy habits in the areas of food shopping, meal preparation and eating.

Research

Our clinical research team creates one of our periodic newsletters, Research Updates, which analyzes and reviews important studies in cancer care to inform and educate readers about healthy lifestyle factors. Each study is carefully translated to be read and understood by those who do not have a scientific background. To receive Research Updates, sign-up at the bottom of the page.

We live in a forward-facing world. Things like w We live in a forward-facing world. 

Things like walking, holding a steering wheel or book, eating, scrolling our devices, and interacting with others, especially virtually, are all taking place in front of us. 

It's in these moments that we can forget about good posture. Slumped shoulders and neck strain are a sign for us to be more mindful of how we balance our bodies. 

Movements and stretches are needed throughout the day to give our bones, muscles, and joints proper care and attention. Standing up every 20 minutes to shake off our sitting posture and opening up through our chest will allow us to release stagnant energy in our body. 

Our muscles, bones and joints will thank us.

Sometimes, we need a reminder to notice and apprec Sometimes, we need a reminder to notice and appreciate the simple things we have in our lives. 

Take a moment to look around your home for the “simple” things that add value to your life, but that you may take for granted. Perhaps it’s sipping from your favourite tea mug, the smell of a beeswax candle, your warmest slippers, or your dishwasher.

Simple things are so precious if we pause to hold gratitude for them. For example, “I am grateful for my coziest blanket. It keeps me nice and warm every night". 

Now, take a few more moments to journal your thoughts of gratitude for the "simple" things in your life that bring you warmth.
