Sardines are also a great source of omega-3 fatty acids.spacewomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13685318913125090866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486672049564884847.post-62095859504651279782011-05-27T16:38:28.531-07:002011-05-27T16:38:28.531-07:00Spacewoman,

I will have to instruct him to leave them in this time around! I do make bone broths, and I love soup, so yes, thanks for pointing that out.Suzie_Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07666156180281289653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486672049564884847.post-24717653726668945712011-05-27T16:29:50.563-07:002011-05-27T16:29:50.563-07:00Hi Johanna! Nice to hear from you again. Bone br...Hi Johanna! Nice to hear from you again. Bone broth is a great source of calcium. Do you have access to pastured animals? Their bones make the best stock/broth. I save all chicken and beef bones from meals and freeze them. I also buy beef marrow bones from my meat farmer. Sometimes they are called dog bones. They're fairly cheap. I also buy chicken feet for my stock. If you don't have access to a farm that sells pastured meat, search for a good butcher. They can sell you bones, too. Another option is buying a black chicken from an Asian grocer (I haven't tried this but have heard they make a great stock). <br /><br />Stock is super easy to make (lots of recipes online) and full of nutrients. In essence you will be consuming the bones and cartlidge of other animals, which are made of the same raw materials.<br /><br />I commend you for taking control of your health. As for info on Paleo and cancer recovery, I'd check out Robb Wolf's website and podcast. You can even submit you own questions for the podcast.spacewomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13685318913125090866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7486672049564884847.post-59823343244887569892011-05-27T11:08:48.262-07:002011-05-27T11:08:48.262-07:00Spacewoman,

I officially went Paleo for a 30 day challenge myself yesterday - the diet is achievable, the exercise part I'm probably messing up as I strength train at the gym, but I'm sure I'm not doing it right for effectiveness. I want to build bone strength as the med I am on reduces that (I'm trying to recover from cancer). Proper exercise is going to be a learning process. I must study Sisson's posts on MDA. I've often wondered if anyone out there besides me is trying to do Paleo with cancer. None of my Drs care what I eat - all just say "balanced diet with some protein". I freaked out the nutritionist at the hospital when I was having chemo when I told her I eat less than 100 carbs a day - "But you need carbs for energy!!!!" Her reaction to cooking with butter and coconut oil was priceless (OMG -saturated fat)! Aside, where does one get enough calcium without dairy? I know veggies have some, but it looks like you have to eat A LOT to get the RDA. Thanks.Suzie_Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07666156180281289653noreply@blogger.com
