Alkaline Cancer:

The Alkaline/Cancer meal plan was developed for individuals who have been diagnosed with, or are in remission from cancer. The key aspect of this plan is to maintain an optimal PH balance to benefit chemotherapeutic agents. Highly acidic foods such as corn, blueberries, cranberries, and plums are limited. Acidic food is balanced with alkalizing fruits and vegetables including peaches, strawberries, asparagus, broccoli, green peas, and carrots.

Alzheimer's:

The Alzheimer's meal plan was developed for individuals diagnosed with or at risk of developing Alzheimer's. Research has found a correlation between improved brain function and diets rich in anti-inflammatory food, omega-3 fatty acids and brightly colored fruit and vegetables. The Alzheimer's meal plan incorporates coconut oil, avocado, nuts and fatty fish as well as multiple daily servings of fruit and vegetables.

Anemia:

The Anemia meal plan is rich in foods that are higher in iron such as red meat, fish, poultry, legumes and leafy greens. Animal products rich in iron (heme) tend to be better absorbed. Pairing iron rich plant based food (non heme) with food high in vitamin C may improve iron absorption.

The Anti-Inflammatory meal plan can help manage chronic inflammation, which is a main contributor to those with metabolic syndrome and obesity. The plan incorporates food rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants found in brightly colored fruit and vegetables as well as omega-3 fatty acids.

Arthritis and Diabetes:

The Arthritis and Diabetes meal plan was developed for individuals diagnosed with both arthritis and diabetes. This plan focuses on incorporating anti-inflammatory food, such as brightly colored fruit and vegetables and omega-3 fatty acids, to aid in easing arthritis symptoms. Meals are also high in fiber and low glycemic fruit and vegetables to maintain adequate blood sugar control.

Arthritis and Heart Disease:

The Arthritis and Heart Disease meal plan was developed for individuals diagnosed with both heart disease and arthritis. Key aspects of the plan include high fiber, lower sodium and heart healthy fats to maintain cardiovascular health. Anti-inflammatory foods such as fruit, vegetables and omega-3 fatty acids (nuts, seeds, avocado and oils) are included in this plan.

Asthma:

The Asthma meal plan was developed for individuals suffering from asthma. It removes potential allergens such as corn, peanuts, soy and dairy which could worsen symptoms.

It is free of processed food which may contain artificial ingredients and preservatives. This plan is gluten free and incorporates mostly low salicylate food.

Cancer and Heart Disease:

The Cancer and Heart Disease meal plan was developed for individuals diagnosed with heart disease in addition to cancer. The key aspect of this plan is to maintain an optimal PH balance to benefit chemotherapeutic agents. Highly acidic foods such as corn, blueberries, cranberries, and plums are limited. Acidic food is balanced with alkalizing fruits and vegetables including peaches, strawberries, asparagus, broccoli, green peas, and carrots. In addition, sodium and saturated fat are limited to prevent further cardiovascular complications.

Chronic Kidney Disease:

The Chronic Kidney Disease meal plan was developed for individuals with stage 1-4 chronic kidney disease. This plan is sodium, phosphorus, potassium and protein restricted. When followed in accordance with physician recommendation, this plan may assist with maintaining a healthy balance of electrolytes, minerals, and fluid balance.

Cirrhosis:

The Cirrhosis meal plan was developed for individuals diagnoses with cirrhosis of the liver. Key aspects of this plan include: plant based protein, high fiber, low fat, low sodium food. Animal protein is limited to reduce by products of protein metabolism which may be harmful to the liver.

Congestive Artery Disease:

The Coronary Artery Disease meal plan was developed for individuals diagnosed with Coronary Artery Disease or are at risk due to a strong family history. The plan is lower in sodium and rich in fiber. This plan is also rich in anti-inflammatory properties and contains cardio protective foods such as whole grains, oats and avocado.

Congestive Heart Disease:

Nutritional intervention can control the chronic inflammation that is a main symptom of Crohn's. The main focus of this plan is on a low residue, lower fiber diet to ease symptoms as flares occur. Raw fruit, raw vegetables, seeds and dairy are eliminated from this plan.

Cystic Fibrosis:

The Cystic Fibrosis meal plans was designed for individuals diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). CF, can cause abnormal fat absorption due to a buildup of mucus in the intestines. Individuals with CF typically take digestive enzymes with their food to improve nutrient absorption. Higher fat, nutrient dense meals are encouraged to ensure adequate caloric intake and prevent weight loss.
