Guest guest Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I was wondering what type of food I could eat on a bicycle? Mind you I am an avid cyclist recently diagnosed with Melanoma...I used to eat foods with lots of sugar for energy but now I must reduce or eliminate sugar. Also, I drank sports drinks, which I have stopped. Can anyone recommend what I should eat and drink to provide the energy needed for this type of physical activity?

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I am sure Tony or someone more knowledgeable than I will pop in to reply to your post as to what foods you should eat to keep up your energy. I have popped in because of one sentence that disturbed me. " I must reduce or eliminate sugar. " You must eliminate sugar. If you have not done so yet, you must eliminate it immediately.

There are things at the health food store that add Oxygen to your water.They come in drop form.I have to use them early in the day because they make me stay awake at night.The more Oxygen the more energy ....also the drops raise your PH levels and cancer cells cannot grow in a body with a high PH level(alkaline).So you will have more energy and produce a healthy body to help you fight your cancer.Cold Peppermint tea in your water bottle is good too.Peppermint is a natural stimulant....clears your head !Hope this helps.I don't want to mention the name of the product here for fear of it being out of line.Feel free to email me.Tla7220 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Take a look at suma for endurance and energy: http://www.rain-tree.com/suma.htm The oxygen the other poster mentions sounds good. I personally take a product called OxyGen from. You can see what you think about it in the supplement catalog on my website: /Supplements.htm If you should decide to purchase anything of the Utopia Silver Products there, such as the cancer fighting colloidal silver and gold, Inositol/IP6 and plant derived minerals (all of which I take) be sure to use the discount code at the top of the supplement catalog (LR001) in order to get a 15% discount on any items not currently on sale. Apologies for the commercial plug, but I happen to personally take these products, have known the owner of the company since childhood, and I know they are good for fighting cancer. Speaking of which, the oleader based Sutherlandia OPC contains both oleander and Sutherlandia Frutescens, both of which are known to help boost the body - although you may lag a bit at the beginning, the same as you could be expected to lag initially on most effective cancer supplements and protocols. That product is available at http://www.sutherlandiaopc.com I am not so sure about how wise it is to engage in really prolonged and strenuous exercise while fighting cancer, but overall exercise is a good idea. And Lance Armstrong seems to have fared OK while fighting his own particular form of cancer. Insofar as diet, the more fresh organic raw vegetables you eat the better. Also a good idea to include a modest amount of healthy fruits, nuts and sprouted grains. Fermented soy products such as miso, tmpeh and natto are good, as is the cottage cheese and/or orgnnic yogurt and flaxseed oil at the heart of the Budwig diet. Chlorella and spirulina provide quite a bit of good cancer fighting and protein rich green " super foods " . oleander soup , " sch200 " <sch200 wrote: > > I was wondering what type of food I could eat on a bicycle?

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Yes, indeed. COCONUT. On the islands where coconut if grown, it is called the medicine plant. Fifty percent of the fats in coconut are medium chain fatty acids. Besides having amazing healing properties, not unlike the same fats found in mother's milk, these fats act like carbohydrates and supply quick energy. Here is an article on coconut: http://www.mnwelldir.org/docs/nutrition/coconut.htm and here are some recipes http://www.mnwelldir.org/docs/nutrition/coc_recipes.htm. The muffins can be made w/o the extra sugar (honey/maple syrup) because of the bananas. They also contain coconut flour (highest flour in fiber), and Omegasentials, which was designed from Johanna Budwig's work with cancer and heart patients.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Whatever you do, I would recommend against eating while you're actually (riding) ON the bike. I fell off that way once.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Let us also not forget the sweet potato. It has an extremely low glycemic index. A sweet potato with butter, flax or hemp oil, with cinnamon is tasty. It provides many hours of sustainable energy at an almost flat line blood sugar level. Of course your must eat this the night before or early in the morning.Dr. Goebel Get easy, one-click access to your favorites. Make your homepage.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Thanks Tony for the information... Reference the comment about prolonged and strenuous exercise while fighting cancer... I have been riding my bike for several years and in the last 3 years riding centuries has become the norm. I road at least 10 if not more 100 mile rides this year. Some of them were very strenuous (Climbing the mountains in northern Georgia) When I was diagnosed with Cancer the doctor had mentioned that I have had this for at least 2 - 3 years. I guess my question is if I keep my heart rate in the aerobic state as oppose to an anaerobic state would the distance or time of this particular exercise matter? Or should I restrict my activity to an hour? I know that oxygen is a good thing so would more be better when we talk about working in an aerobic state?

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 I really do not know the definitive answer to your question, other than to offer the OPINION that maintaining an aerobic state and avoiding exercise to excess would be my choice. Cancer seem to have a very hard time surviving in the presence of oxygen and appears to thrive in an anaerobic atmostphere. I have seen some contentions recently that such may not be true - but such contentions fly in the face of a huge body of evidence to the contrary. It is also my thinking that excessive exercise might take away energy the body needs to combat the cancer. BTW, I love the information other members have posted on this topic (food on the bike). oleander soup , " sch200 " <sch200 wrote: > > Thanks Tony for the information... > > Reference the comment about prolonged and strenuous exercise while fighting cancer... > > I have been riding my bike for several years and in the last 3 years riding centuries has > become the norm.
