Food matters is a very informative read and it gives the reader an idea about the importance of good food in our lives and the role our food plays in the fight against cancer.
The author is a well known oncologist at MD Anderson Cancer Center and I truly appreciate the author's effort to create awareness among people regarding the importance of a healthy diet and healthy lifestyle to keep cancer at bay. The author says that it's high time that people should become aware of this disease and take effective steps like eating healthy food, proper exercise,etc to avoid the risk.
The author has cited so many examples of people who have bravely fought against cancer and succeeded. Proper treatment being an important step in cancer therapy, the same importance has to be given to a healthy diet and also, a proper lifestyle. Also, the author has given some amazing and healthy recipes that could be included in the diet of cancer patients during and after cancer therapy.
Overall it was a very informative read and I am so glad that I got a chance to read this book. I would recommend this book to everyone who wants to know more about the importance of food in the fight against cancer.

#readwithharpercollins CANCER is now the 4th leading cause of death in India. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO LOWER YOUR RISK?
FOOD MATTERS by Dr. Shubham Pant.
The Role Your Diet Plays In The Fight Against Cancer.
💢 Personal Experience:
My mil was the fittest in our family, that's what I thought until she got diagnosed with breast cancer. It came as a shock and we stumbled to deal with it. She went ahead for the treatment with medications & surgery & we thought finally its over.
But..
Around 1.5 years later, it resurfaced & she again had to go for surgery & medications & even chemo this time. Although we were better prepared w.r.t the know- how now but still it was a shock.
Thereafter, it was a emotionally, physically & mentally draining process. She is a bold woman & faced everything with utmost valour & grace.
From hairloss to loss of muscle mass, to lethargy & no taste in mouth, to constipation & diarrhea..it is a tedious process.
Eventually she is returning to normal life with;
- proper nutritious diet,
- small & frequent meals,
- proper rest
&
- exercise like daily walks.
💢 The reason why I am sharing all this is, because I felt the book talks exactly what we went through & more.
Everyone doesnot need to go through it to learn.
PREVENTION IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN CURE. Although the exact cause if cancer cannot be ascertained but it is assumed to be a lifestyle disease.
📕 HOW DOES THIS BOOK HELP?
This book is written by Dr. Shubham Pant who is well versed with this field.
He focuses on some mundane sol.ns to PREVENT cancer. He explains the link between diet & cancer & also provides some easy recipes to inculcate in our diet.
This ~ 200 pg book is divided into 3 broad parts;
1 Diet & Cancer Prevention.
2 Eating Healthy during Cancer Therapy.
3 Surviving Cancer.
The before, during & after of cancer care.
💢 genre: health/ non- fiction.
It adds great value, has insights from real life experiences, easy language, simple changes which we can make in our diet & lifestyle, gives data & stats plus busts some myths like superfoods & forwards/ messages which go viral w/out proper authentication about cancer/ diet & much more.
💢 Worth your time 4.5/5.

'Food Matters' is an extensive, almost academic observation of food practices, dining-table habits, epicurean culture and everything that's wrong with it.
I have made an extensive list of takeaways (pun very much intended) from this book. I, however, urge you to read and make your own.
1) The culinary horrors of Social Media -
Dr Shubham Pant, an oncologist based in Texas, urges the readers to not succumb to the click-bait articles that promote fad diets but pay attention to the ones that have passed the test of science as well as centuries.
He talks about fake and marketed articles in social media, the ones that claim a fruit or a particular grain to be 'superfood' and then present the reader with a convenient link to buy the said superfood.
2) The curse of Cancer-
In India, 60% of total deaths are due to lifestyle diseases. Cancer has jumped from seventh to fourth position in causing maximum number of deaths. Dr Pant writes that the longer we live, the more are the chances of developing cancer since vast majority of tumors are detected after 55 years of life. He accuses social media as a spreader of misinformation and gives an example of an article that circulated immediately after the news of a famous Hindi movie heroine struggling with breast cancer. It advised its women readers to 'not wear a black bra during summer'.
3) 93% of children ear packaged food at least once a week. It is always advisable to go back to whole grains.
4) Tobacco has 69 cancer causing chemicals. Quit it.
5)Fibre in Food is our friend-
Plant-based fiber rich diet should be incorporated into our everyday food. Fortunately, traditional Indian diet is quite close to the diet that should be eaten to keep our health in pink.
Ragi or Finger Miller is ideal for a healthy living.
Jowar or Sorghum is rich in starch and is slowly digested. It's good for diabetes since it doesn't raise blood sugar abruptly. Glycemic index of pearl millet and barley is less than white bread and so less chances of harm to a diabetic.
6) An average Indian consumes about 10 spoons of sugar a day. That makes it about 18 kg in an year!
7)People who are more physically active have 24% less chance of colon cancer.

🥗Hola bookstagrammers! How about a non-fiction read that relates to the significant role of nutrition in the fight against cancer, written by an author with the insight of an oncologist and the expertise of a nutritionist?
🥗 This book is a research-backed guide for cancer patients of three stages — before diagnosis, during cancer therapy, and survival after treatment. It is divided into three sections, with each section statistically highlighting the importance of nutrition at all levels. There are healthy, lip-smacking recipes included at the end of each section, which is highly helpful for cancer patients.
🥗The author has painstakingly presented enough graphs, tables, and diagrammatic representations that capture our attention to various issues pertaining to cancer and health in general. He maintains a conversational tone throughout the book and this makes it us feel not bored with a book containing so many facts. He has also included stories of real-life people who have successfully battled cancer and their journey of hope.
🥗 I would definitely say that this book is a complete, comprehensive health guide for cancer therapy. No, don't blindly follow every recipe or health tip mentioned in this book, rather try which works for your body type and rigorously follow it! The author has also highlighted about breast cancer in men, something which I didn't know existed. I thought only women get breast cancer 🤕
🥗 " 🆁🅴🅲🅾🆅🅴🆁🆈 🅵🆁🅾🅼 🅲🅰🅽🅲🅴🆁 🆃🅷🅴🆁🅰🅿🆈 🅸🆂 🆃🆁🆄🅻🆈 🅰🅱🅾🆄🆃 🅷🅴🅰🅻🅸🅽🅶 🆈🅾🆄🆁 🅼🅸🅽🅳, 🅱🅾🅳🆈 🅰🅽🅳 🆂🅾🆄🅻!"
I would recommend this book to three categories of people - the health-conscious, cancer patients, and those caring for cancer patients! Let's keep cancer at bay and celebrate life :)

A non fiction, related to the role of nutrition in the fight against cancer. What I liked the most is the research backing of the facts. It does not have a boring look of non fiction book. It has a lot of diagrammatic representations which captures readers attention. The book has many tips which not only helps in cancer prevention but also helps to prevent many other diseases.
He has also shared simple recipes for different phases. The recipies are not only limited to north indian food . It also includes recipies like our crowd favorite of kerala, olan. The colourful pictures will tempt us to try those recipies.
