Orthopedic Doc in Lawrenceville, NJ gives Nutrition Tips to help fight inflammation, cancer and pain

PERFORMANCE SPINE AND SPORTS MEDICINE (PSSM) PROMOTES FOODS THAT MAY HELP MANAGE PAIN and FIGHTS CANCER!

PSSM SUPPORTS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS AND “RESILIENCE DAY” which was a day of lectures about breast cancer as well as spa and beauty treatments for the participants. It was held in COLORS restaurant in NYC on October 22, 2011.

I, Dr. Joseph Jimenez, took my sister, Jana, to this event and help her “de-stress” from a week long of mid-term exams!

Some key take home points:

(Here is a picture of my sister with Dr. Emily Splichal promoting her new book and exercise DVD’s for women!)

  1. According to the Sprecher Institute for Comparative Cancer Research: “Eating whole grains may be linked to a small reduction in breast cancer risk. Total fiber in the diet appears to have little or no association with breast cancer risk, although the fiber component of fruit and vegetables has been connected with decreased risk. Nonetheless, whole grains have been associated with a decrease in the risk of other cancers and health problems, including heart disease. These nutritious and beneficial foods should be included in everyone’s diet” (3)
  2. Broccoli is a recognized cancer fighter! According to the journal CLINICAL CANCER RESEARCH, the component in broccoli known as SULFORAPHANE seems to inhibit growth of breast cancer stem cells!! (4)

Overall, it was a very informative day but I thought, “I have been promoting the same healthy lifestyle to my orthopedic patients all along!!
