CHAPTER 2

REAL FAITH ISN’T BLIND

Faith is not a leap in the dark; it's the exact opposite. It's a commitment based on evidence. . . . It is irrational to reduce all faith to blind faith and then subject it to ridicule. —JOHN LENNOX¹

Reason is a tool to help us better understand and defend our faith; as Anselm* put it, ours is a faith that seeks understanding. —WILLIAM LANE CRAIG, REASONABLE FAITH²

[*Saint Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109) was the outstanding Christian philosopher and theologian of the eleventh century. He is best known for the celebrated "ontological argument" for the existence of God in the Proslogion , but his contributions to philosophical theology (and indeed to philosophy more generally) go well beyond the ..Anselm was an Italian Benedictine monk who became abbot of Bec in Normandy and subsequently archbishop of Canterbury. He was also an important philosopher and widely respected theologian, who wrote many influential treatises, including two meditations on the nature of God, the Monologion (Monologue) and the Proslogion (Discourse), as well as Cur Deus Homo ...]

IT’S SAFE TO SAY THAT THE MOST UNUSUAL CONFERENCE I've ever attended was the 2012 Global Atheist Convention in Melbourne, Australia, promoted as “A Celebration of Reason." More than 3,500 delegates came to hear speakers such as evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and Sam Harris. Very few if any Christians appeared to be in attendance.

My goal in attending was simply to listen. I thought that atheists were gathering from around the world, then something earth-shaking would be said that I would want to hear firsthand—maybe some new discovery in science that demonstrated (in their minds) that God does not exist. Instead of the intellectual onslaught I was bracing for, the opening-night speakers were four professional comedians. Their profanity-laced rants were perhaps an attempt to demonstrate their disdain for any hint of morality that might be lingering from their admitted religious upbringings.

The next day, rather than offer scientific or philosophical reasons for nonexistence of God, speaker after speaker railed against religion and continued tone set by the comedians on opening night. Again, mockery and ridicule were the primary themes. Ironically, there was very little "reason" present at their Celebration of Reason. The emotionalism they claim religion relies on permeated every presentation.

I left the conference convinced that the primary strategy of these new atheists is to lay claim the word reason, as a business owner might try to secure a domain name before the competition gets it. By doing this they can label anyone who opposes them “anti-reason" or irrational. With the zeal of a political party, their hope is that science would eliminate any faith or religion as well as philosophy. This was stated clearly by Dawkins in a discussion with John Lennox Oxford University, sponsored by the Fixed Point Foundation:

What worries me is if you don't have, if you don't allow in a rational basis for what you believe then it is possible for people to say, I'm sorry I just believe that Allah told to go kill all those people. And it's no good arguing with me because arguing is not what it's about. Faith is what it is about, and that is the danger.³

John Lennox, an Oxford mathematician who has debated Dawkins on several occasions, responded to this remark in one of their encounters:

I understand from my own perception of the New Testament that that not what the Christian faith is, that's dangerous, that blind faith. But all faith is not blind faith and just as you say you have faith the scientific method and so have I, I have faith in God and believe that it is evidence based.⁴

A legitimate concern is when people believe without a rational basis. This allows them to carry out horrible, unreasonable acts, such as the 9/11 terrorist acts, in name of their faith. The One who aid, "Love your enemies,” is the extreme opposite of someone commanding his followers to "kill the infidel."

Reason serves as type immune system helping us sort out helpful beliefs from harmful ones. When humans look at any set of events, we use our reason to draw conclusions about what has happened. Whether it is an incident that just took place before our eyes or one that happened thousands of years ago, reason processes the events and decides whether the explanation being offered is plausible. Irrationality is not a religious thing; it’s a human thing. Ever heard of a mad scientist? Making the point that real faith isn't blind includes not blindly believing everything said the name of “science.” The evidence that God exists is all around us and inside of us. You have been given the ability to observe the phenomena around you and reason whether it is the product of blind forces or an intelligent Creator.

The twenty-first century is the most astounding time in history to be alive; every day we learn more about the stellar universe and subatomic particles. Consider the discovery of the Higgs boson particle at the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland, in July 2012. This particle, nicknamed by nonscientists the “God Particle,” is unlocking physicists' understanding of the mysterious subatomic world and producing the belief that humanity may soon understand the smallest detail of how the universe works. However, just because we know how a mechanism works doesn’t eliminate the existence the architect and builder the mechanism. The way these facts are interpreted comes down to the beliefs you hold the lens through which you look.

Atheists believe a fantastic story that the universe just happened, by chance, and that all of this life and complexity came from nothing. “The universe just is,” asserts the naturalist. Yet is that really true? Is that the only option a rational person has to consider? The late Christopher Hitchens, one of the most outspoken atheists of this generation and considered their most eloquent voice, seemed quite taken aback when he encountered Christians in his debates who actually had reasons for their faith. He thought that all we had was our appeal to our subjective experience.

Reason demands that we examine claims made in the name of faith or science in the same way we would examine the ingredients on a pill bottle or food item on a store shelf. Not all claims are equal. Many skeptics assert that the only reliable tests for truth reside in the realm of science. As will be shown, science points to God. Inductive methods exist to test the reasonableness and credibility not just for belief in God, generally, but Christianity, specifically.

I hope to demonstrate that faith and reason are vital partners and complementary components for the discovery of truth. Tim Keller, a best selling author and pastor New York City, made this challenge to skeptics: "I urge skeptics to wrestle with the unexamined blind faith' on which skepticism is based, and to how hard it is to justify those beliefs to those who do share them. I also urge believers to wrestle with their personal and culture's objections to the faith."⁵

第2章

 真正的信仰不是盲目的

 信仰不是在黑暗中跳跃； 事实恰恰相反。 这是基于证据的承诺。 。 。 。 将所有的信仰都归结为盲目信仰，然后加以嘲笑，这是不合理的。 ——约翰·伦诺克斯¹

 理性是帮助我们更好地理解和捍卫信仰的工具； 正如安瑟姆*所说，我们的信仰寻求理解。 ——威廉·莱恩·克雷格，合理的信仰²

 [*坎特伯雷的圣安瑟姆（1033-1109）是十一世纪杰出的基督教哲学家和神学家。 他最著名的是《序言》中关于上帝存在的著名“本体论论证”，但他对哲学神学（实际上是更广泛的哲学）的贡献远远超出了……安瑟姆是一位意大利本笃会修道士，后来成为修道院院长。 贝克在诺曼底，后来担任坎特伯雷大主教。 他也是一位重要的哲学家和广受尊敬的神学家，撰写了许多有影响力的论文，包括两篇关于上帝本质的沉思、独白（Monologion）和序言（Discourse），以及《Cur Deus Homo》……]

 可以肯定地说，我参加过的最不寻常的会议是 2012 年在澳大利亚墨尔本举行的全球无神论者大会，该大会被宣传为“理性的庆典”。超过 3,500 名代表前来聆听进化生物学家理查德·道金斯 (Richard Dawkins)、丹尼尔 (Daniel) 等演讲者的演讲。 丹尼特和萨姆·哈里斯。出席的基督徒很少（如果有的话）。

 我参加的目的只是为了倾听。 我以为无神论者从世界各地聚集在一起，然后我会想亲耳听到一些惊天动地的事情——也许是科学上的一些新发现，证明（在他们看来）上帝不存在。 开幕之夜的演讲者不是我所期待的知识分子冲击，而是四位专业喜剧演员。 他们充满脏话的咆哮也许是为了表达他们对任何可能在他们承认的宗教成长中残留的道德暗示的蔑视。

 第二天，演讲者并没有提出上帝不存在的科学或哲学理由，而是一个接一个地谴责宗教，并延续了喜剧演员在开幕之夜定下的基调。 嘲讽和嘲笑再次成为主要主题。 讽刺的是，他们的理性庆典上几乎没有什么“理性”。 他们声称宗教所依赖的情感主义渗透到每一次演讲中。

 离开会议时，我确信这些新无神论者的主要策略是声称“理由”一词，就像企业主可能会试图在竞争对手获得域名之前获得域名一样。 通过这样做，他们可以给任何反对他们的人贴上“反理性”或非理性的标签。带着政党的热情，他们希望科学能够消除任何信仰或宗教以及哲学。这一点道金斯在 与约翰·伦诺克斯牛津大学的讨论，由定点基金会赞助：

 让我担心的是，如果你没有，如果你不允许你的信仰有合理的基础，那么人们可能会说，对不起，我只是相信安拉告诉你去杀死所有那些人 。 和我争论是没有好处的，因为争论不是争论的目的。 信仰就是它的意义所在，这就是危险。³

 曾多次与道金斯辩论的牛津数学家约翰·伦诺克斯在一次会面中回应了这一言论：

 我从自己对新约的理解中了解到，这不是基督教信仰，那是危险的，盲目的信仰。 但所有的信仰都不是盲目的信仰，就像你说你相信科学方法一样，我也相信，我相信上帝并相信它是基于证据的。⁴

 当人们没有理性基础地相信时，一个合理的担忧是合理的。 这使得他们能够以信仰的名义实施可怕的、不合理的行为，例如9/11恐怖行为。 那些帮助“爱你的敌人”的人与命令他的追随者“杀死异教徒”的人截然相反。

 理性充当类型免疫系统，帮助我们区分有益的信念和有害的信念。 当人类观察任何一组事件时，我们都会利用理性对所发生的事情得出结论。 无论是刚刚发生在我们眼前的事件还是数千年前发生的事件，理性都会处理事件并决定所提供的解释是否合理。 非理性不是宗教的事情，而是宗教的事情。 这是人的事。 听说过疯狂科学家吗？ 指出真正的信仰不是盲目的，包括不盲目相信一切所谓的“科学”。 上帝存在的证据就在我们周围和我们的内心。 你被赋予了观察周围现象的能力，并推理它是盲目力量的产物还是智慧造物主的产物。

GOD OR SCIENCE?

Time magazine's November 13, 2006, cover story was titled "God vs. Science." The title alone suggested that one must choose between the two. The tagline to the online edition of the article stated, "We revere faith and scientific progress, hunger for miracles and for MRI's. But are the worldviews compatible? Time convenes a debate." The debate was between Francis Collins, a geneticist and a Christian who wrote about the fantastic evidence intelligence found DNA in th book The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief, and Richard Dawkins, a biologist and an atheist. Collins breaks the stereotype of a closed-minded religious person that Dawkins characterizes as people of faith. In fact, Time noted before it presented the debate between two men that a growing number of scientists were becoming more vocal their support of an alternative to the harsh battle lines Dawkins and his horts were drawing: "And balance formidable standard bearers [of atheism] like Dawkins, we seek those who possess religious conviction but also scientific achievements to credibly argue the widespread hope that science and God are in harmony-that, indeed, science is of God."?

The article went on to mention scientists like Collins who find no conflict between science and faith and are pointing the common ground that allows for constructive dialogue. Similarly, physicist and Anglican priest John Polkinghorne has referred to the vital connection between faith and science "binocular vision." He explained, "Seeing the world with two eyes-having binocular vision-enables me understand more than I could with either eye on its own." Remember, the notion being sold to the public is that science deals fact and religion deals in faith. Yet science has its own tenets of faith, and real faith is based on facts.

上帝还是科学？

 《时代》杂志 2006 年 11 月 13 日的封面故事标题为“上帝与科学”。 仅标题就表明人们必须在两者之间做出选择。 该文章网络版的标语是：“我们崇尚信仰和科学进步，渴望奇迹和核磁共振成像。但世界观是否兼容？时间会引发一场辩论。” 争论的焦点是弗朗西斯·柯林斯（Francis Collins）和理查德·道金斯（Richard Dawkins）。弗朗西斯·柯林斯是一位遗传学家，也是一名基督徒，他在《上帝的语言：一位科学家提出信仰的证据》一书中写到了DNA中智力发现的奇妙证据，而理查德·道金斯是一位生物学家和无神论者。 柯林斯打破了道金斯所描述的思想封闭的宗教人士的刻板印象，即有信仰的人。 事实上，《时代》杂志在报道两人之间的辩论之前指出，越来越多的科学家越来越明确地支持道金斯和他的家伙们所绘制的严酷战线的替代方案：“并平衡[无神论]的强大旗手。 像道金斯一样，我们寻找那些拥有宗教信仰和科学成就的人来可信地论证科学与上帝和谐相处的普遍希望——事实上，科学是上帝的。”

 文章接着提到了像柯林斯这样的科学家，他们发现科学与信仰之间没有冲突，并指出了允许建设性对话的共同点。 同样，物理学家兼英国圣公会牧师约翰·波尔金霍恩（John Polkinghorne）提到了信仰与科学之间的重要联系“双眼视觉”。 他解释说：“用两只眼睛看世界——双目视觉——让我比用任何一只眼睛都能理解更多的东西。” 请记住，向公众兜售的观念是科学处理事实，而宗教处理信仰。 然而科学有它自己的信仰原则，而真正的信仰是基于事实的。

SCIENCE AND FAITH

Science is indeed "of God" as Time stated. Because the Christian worldview pointed to the fact that the universe was designed, it could be rationally understood. As C. S. Lewis put it, "Men became scientific because they expected law in nature and they expected law in nature because they believed in a lawgiver." Albert Einstein would concur, "The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible." ¹⁰ They believed the universe was crafted by a purposeful God who created humanity in His image, creatures who could (to borrow Johannes Kepler's famous phrase) "think God's thoughts after Him." To Kepler, "The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be discover rational order which has been imposed on it by God, and which he revealed to us the language of mathematics."¹¹

When atheists reference the church's brutal treatment of Galileo as result of his scientific discoveries, they are overstating the real story. It is not typical for faith to so oppose science. First, Galileo, as well as most scientists of that time, were people of faith. Second, he challenged not only the religious views of his day but the scientific and philosophical ones as well. In the end Galileo's observation that the earth was indeed rotating around the sun had bearing on any tenet of faith but merely on an interpretation of Scripture that would eventually change. Some interpretations of scientific data seemed, at first, to contradict Scripture but later had be adjusted and ended confirming Scripture (such as universe having a beginning), so the door swings both ways.

科学与信仰

 正如《时代》杂志所说，科学确实是“上帝的”。 因为基督教的世界观指出了宇宙是被设计的这一事实，所以它可以被理性地理解。 正如C.S.刘易斯所说，“人们之所以变得科学，是因为他们期待自然法则，而他们期待自然法则，因为他们相信立法者。” 阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦（Albert Einstein）也表示同意：“宇宙最难以理解的事情就是它是可以理解的。” 他们相信宇宙是由一位有目的的上帝创造的，他按照自己的形象创造了人类，这些生物能够（借用约翰内斯·开普勒的名言）“跟随上帝思考上帝的想法”。 对开普勒来说，“对外部世界的所有研究的主要目的应该是发现上帝强加给它的理性秩序，并且他向我们揭示了数学语言。”

 当无神论者提到教会因伽利略的科学发现而对其进行残酷对待时，他们夸大了真实的故事。 信仰如此反对科学的情况并不常见。 首先，伽利略以及当时的大多数科学家都是有信仰的人。 其次，他不仅挑战了当时的宗教观点，还挑战了科学和哲学观点。 最终，伽利略关于地球确实绕着太阳旋转的观察结果对任何信仰原则都有影响，但仅仅对最终会改变的圣经解释有影响。 对科学数据的一些解释起初似乎与圣经相矛盾，但后来经过调整并最终证实了圣经（例如宇宙有一个开始），所以门是双向的。

INSULTS AREN’T ARGUMENTS

The tactic of insulting the opposition has never worked in this debate. Ridicule and mockery are, in fact, evidence that there is a reluctance to engage theism on rational and theological grounds. Just a few months before the 2012 Global Atheist Convention Melbourne was the United States' gathering in Washington, DC. Keynote speaker Richard Dawkins called for this bitter tone and tactic from all present. "Mock them, ridicule them in public, don't fall for the convention that we're far too polite talk about religion. Religion is not off the table. Religion is not off limits. "¹²

He isn't alone in his emotional grandstanding. The legions of the   unbelieving have learned to cry "reason" while they consistently hit below the belt with one emotional appeal after another. Any mistake made by someone with religious faith gathered and collected as evidence that   because of the mistakes of those who are believers, God isn't there. It's a little like saying that because my children make mistakes, I don't exist.

Peter Hitchens, the brother of Christopher Hitchens, one of the most outspoken atheists of our times, witnessed this firsthand and wrote about this tendency is his book The Rage Against God:

The difficulties of the anti-theists begin when they try to engage with anyone who does not agree with them, when their reaction often a frustrated rage that the rest of us are so stupid. But what if that is not the problem? Their refusal to accept that others might be as intelligent as they, yet disagree, leads them into many snares.

I tend sympathize with them. I too have been angry with opponents who required me to re-examine opinions I had embraced more through passion than through reason.¹³

In a New York Times review of atheist Lawrence Krauss's book A Universe from Nothing, David Albert identified the unreasonable anger that is exhibited against religion.

. . it seems like a pity, and more than a pity, and worse than a pity, with all that in the back of one's head, to think that all that gets offered to us now, by guys like [Krauss], in books like this, is the pale, small, silly, nerdy accusation that religion is, I don't know, dumb ¹⁴

侮辱不是争论

 侮辱反对派的策略在这场辩论中从未奏效。 事实上，嘲笑和嘲笑证明人们不愿意在理性和神学的基础上讨论有神论。 就在 2012 年墨尔本全球无神论者大会召开前几个月，美国在华盛顿特区召开了会议。 主讲人理查德·道金斯呼吁所有在场的人都采取这种苦涩的语气和策略。 “嘲笑他们，在公共场合嘲笑他们，不要相信我们在谈论宗教时过于礼貌的惯例。宗教不是不可能的。宗教不是禁区。“¹²

 他并不是唯一一个在情感上哗众取宠的人。 大批不信者已经学会了大喊“理性”，同时他们不断地用一种又一种的情感诉求击中腰带。 任何有宗教信仰的人所犯的错误都会被收集起来作为证据，证明由于信徒的错误，上帝并不存在。 这有点像说因为我的孩子犯了错误，所以我就不存在了。

 克里斯托弗·希钦斯 (Christopher Hitchens) 的兄弟彼得·希钦斯 (Peter Hitchens) 是我们这个时代最直言不讳的无神论者之一，他亲眼目睹了这一趋势，并在他的著作《对上帝的愤怒》中描述了这种趋势：

 当反有神论者试图与任何不同意他们观点的人打交道时，他们的困难就开始了，而他们的反应往往是沮丧的愤怒，因为我们其他人是如此愚蠢。 但如果这不是问题怎么办？ 他们拒绝接受其他人可能和他们一样聪明，但又不同意，这导致他们陷入许多陷阱。

 我倾向于同情他们。 我也对反对者感到愤怒，他们要求我重新审视我更多地通过激情而非理性所接受的观点。¹³

 在《纽约时报》对无神论者劳伦斯·克劳斯的书《无中生有的宇宙》的评论中，大卫·艾伯特指出了人们对宗教表现出的无理愤怒。

 。 。 想到现在由像[克劳斯]这样的人在这样的书中向我们提供的所有内容，这似乎是一种遗憾，而且不仅仅是遗憾，而且比遗憾更糟糕，所有这些都在一个人的脑海中 是对宗教的苍白、渺小、愚蠢、书呆子般的指责，我不知道，愚蠢的 ¹⁴

FAITH AND REASON AREN’T ENEMIES

Somehow the perception is that believers are afraid to deal with the hard questions that faith can give rise to. The picture is painted that believers must be sheltered from any opposing view and just “quit asking questions."

Joe Marlin, an MD and PhD student at NYU as well as an atheist, had read The God Delusion by Dawkins and many other works that attempted to dispel faith in God. He told me in an interview that at times he was “militant” in his atheism. “Especially when someone would 'thank God' for something. I felt they were giving God the credit for something a person had actually done.” He described the process of beginning to doubt his doubts about his atheism and meeting consistently with a person of faith and openly, objectively dealing with his questions. He said, “Reason actually led me to God not away from Him.”¹⁵

When something happens that we don't understand, suggesting the occurrence is simply “God's mysterious ways” is not abandoning reason and blindly accepting everything in the name of faith. If a drunk driver kills an innocent family, we ask, why did this happen? The reasonable answer is that it happened because someone was careless and illegally drove a car while impaired, and the death of an innocent family was the result. But the real question is, why did God let that happen? Couldn't He have stopped it?

We hear of stories of divine intervention, so why didn't it happen in this case? When we appeal to mystery, we are simply acknowledging that there are many things we don't know. That certainly doesn't mean we live our lives with a fatalistic resignation. We should continue to seek for answers to these great questions. Many times the real mystery is in grasping the motivations of people who do the things they do. the next chapter, we will talk in more detail about evil and suffering and attempt to address the perplexing question of why bad things happen in our world.

信仰和理性不是敌人

 不知何故，人们认为信徒害怕处理信仰可能引起的难题。 这幅画描绘的是信徒必须免受任何反对意见的影响，并且“停止提问”。

 乔·马林 (Joe Marlin) 是纽约大学的医学博士和博士生，也是一名无神论者，他读过道金斯的《上帝错觉》以及许多其他试图消除对上帝信仰的著作。 他在一次采访中告诉我，有时他的无神论是“激进的”。 “尤其是当有人为某事‘感谢上帝’时。 我觉得他们把一个人实际所做的事情归功于上帝。” 他描述了开始怀疑自己对无神论的怀疑，并始终如一地与有信仰的人会面并公开、客观地处理他的问题的过程。 他说：“理性实际上引导我走向上帝，而不是远离他。”

 当发生我们不理解的事情时，暗示该事件只是“上帝的神秘方式”，并不是放弃理性并以信仰的名义盲目接受一切。 如果醉酒司机杀害了无辜家庭，我们会问，为什么会发生这种情况？ 合理的答案是，有人不小心，酒驾违法驾驶，导致无辜家庭死亡。 但真正的问题是，为什么上帝让这种事发生？ 难道他就不能阻止吗？

 我们听说过神圣干预的故事，那么为什么在这种情况下没有发生呢？ 当我们诉诸神秘时，我们只是承认有很多事情我们不知道。 这当然并不意味着我们只能听天由命地生活。 我们应该继续寻找这些重大问题的答案。 很多时候，真正的谜团在于掌握人们做事的动机。 下一章，我们将更详细地讨论邪恶和痛苦，并试图解决为什么世界上会发生不好的事情这一令人困惑的问题。

FAITH IS THE PRODUCT OF THINKING

Faith involves reasoning, remembering, and researching or study. Faith is hard work. We have to do our part to understand what God is promising, grasp the conditions of those promises, review the evidence of His faithfulness in the past, and hold on to our convictions about this regardless of our mercurial feelings, as C. S. Lewis suggestsed:

When I was an atheist I had moods in which Christianity looked terribly probable. This rebellion of your moods against your real self is going to come anyway. That is why Faith is such a necessary virtue: unless you teach your moods “where they get off”, you can never either a sound Christian or even a sound atheist, but just a creature dithering to and fro, with its beliefs really dependent on the weather and the state of its digestion. ¹⁵

Lewis was saying that faith is actually holding on to what your reason has led you to conclude despite your changing moods. This is almost completely opposite of how it is represented by skeptics. We are called to love God with all our hearts and minds. It is when we apply ourselves to understand, seek wisdom, examine everything, and hold fast to what is true that we discern the right path and make the wise decisions about our lives and our world.

信仰是思考的产物

 信仰涉及推理、记忆和研究。 信仰是艰苦的工作。 我们必须尽自己的一份力量来理解上帝的应许，掌握这些应许的条件，回顾他过去信实的证据，并坚持我们对此的信念，无论我们的情绪如何变化，正如C.S.刘易斯所建议的：

 当我还是一个无神论者时，我的心情是基督教看起来非常有可能。 无论如何，你的情绪对真实自我的反抗将会到来。 这就是为什么信仰是一种必要的美德：除非你教导你的情绪“从哪里开始”，否则你永远不可能成为一个健全的基督徒，甚至不可能成为一个健全的无神论者，而只是一个来回摇摆的生物，其信仰实际上取决于 天气及其消化状况。 ¹⁵

FAITH INVOLVES THREE KEY INGREDIENTS

Faith is the basis of all our relationships with one another and with God. In a marriage, we pledge faithfulness-our fidelity-to one person. Committing adultery is therefore called infidelity. Business is based on trust. Two parties make an agreement and pledge through a contract to each meet various obligations. In cases of both marriage and business, there are three key ingredients to faith:

1. Knowledge: the specific details of the agreement God chose to communicate with us through words. “In the beginning was the Word,” begins the gospel of John. The knowledge of the Lord is the information He allowed to come into the earth. That knowledge the bedrock of our faith. When my father told me he had purchased me a car after I graduated from university, I believed him without seeing the car. The basis of my faith was his promise. This knowledge is found not only in the Scriptures (see chapter 8) but also throughout nature:

 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

 Day after day they pour forth speech;

 night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language

 where their voice is not heard.

 Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. (Psalm 19:1–4)

 God wants you to have knowledge of Him. This knowledge comes not only through Scripture but also through the evidence exhibited in the world He created. That which is known about God is evident through that which has been made (Romans 1:20). 

2. Assent: willingness to enter into a contract.

This assent is the product of reason. Having considered the promises and

 weighed the reality of the evidence to substantiate the specific claim, then we are to agree as a result of thinking and considering a matter. The aspect of assent is critical in that God has given man the right to choose freely, therefore this choice must be sincere and uncoerced. God doesn't want you to do something against your will. You, therefore, must desire to know Him and have a relationship with Him. “This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live” (Deuteronomy 30:19).

 3. Trust: belief that both parties will do what they say they’ll do This trust is not blind. It is based on knowledge and evidence that demonstrate the person making the promise is trustworthy.

 How important is this to God? It is the ultimate sign of real faith in Him. Jesus said, “Do not let your hearts troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me” (John 14:1 ). The Scripture is filled with praises to God for His faithfulness and trustworthiness. “Those who know your name will trust in you, / for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you” (Psalm 9:10). Trust is possibly the most important ingredient in building a relationship. This is true not only between people but in a relationship with God as well.

神希望你认识他。 这种知识不仅来自圣经，还来自他所创造的世界中所展示的证据。 关于神的事情，人所能知道的，都是借着所造之物显而易见的（罗马书1:20）。

 2. 同意：愿意签订合同。

 这种同意是理性的产物。 考虑了承诺并

 权衡证据的真实性来证实特定的主张，然后我们通过思考和考虑某件事而达成一致。 同意这一点至关重要，因为上帝赋予了人自由选择的权利，因此这种选择必须是真诚的、非强迫的。 上帝不希望你做违背自己意愿的事情。 因此，你必须渴望认识他并与他建立关系。 “今天我呼天唤地为你们作证，我已将生与死、祝福与咒诅摆在你们面前。 现在选择生命，使你和你的子孙都可以存活”（申命记 30:19）。

 3. 信任：相信双方都会言出必行这种信任不是盲目的。 它基于证明做出承诺的人是值得信赖的知识和证据。

 这对神有多重要？ 这是真正相信他的最终标志。 耶稣说：“你们心里不要忧愁。 相信上帝; 你们也当信我”（约翰福音 14:1）。 圣经充满了对神的信实和信实的赞美。 “认识你名的人必信赖你，因为耶和华啊，你从未离弃寻求你的人”（诗篇 9:10）。 信任可能是建立关系的最重要因素。 不仅人与人之间如此，与神的关系也是如此。

UNBELIEF IS THE PRODUCT OF NOT THINKING

The Scripture explains the tendency of the human heart to gravitate toward unbelief by suppressing the evidence for God. Like a lawyer who doesn't want any evidence to come forth in a trial that could discredit his client, the skeptic is threatened by the believer who makes a case for God based on reason. Paul wrote, "The wrath God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them” (Romans 1:18–19).

This is why there is such frustration and anger on the part of atheists when God is mentioned. All their hard work of suppressing the truth gets sabotaged. The tendency of the human mind is to suppress or ignore intentionally something it doesn't want to hear. Fear operates in a similar way. It is when we stop thinking and reasoning soundly that fear comes barging into our lives. For instance, I know that flying is much safer than driving and have flown several million miles in my travels over the last thirty years of ministry. Even though I know flying is safe, there are times when turbulence can cause me to needlessly worry about crashing. By using reason, I can calm my fears and restore my confidence that the turbulence isn't going to cause the plane to crash any more than a bumpy dirt road would cause my car to crash. Sound reasoning can restore my faith in flying.

Unbelief can result from failing to remember. Jesus performed many miracles, such as feeding thousands of people from a handful of bread loaves and a few fish. Time and time again, although His disciples had experienced miracle after miracle, they would forget Jesus’ power as soon as they faced another challenge. The unbelief of the disciples was the result of not thinking clearly and not remembering. Sound reasoning can restore your faith in God.

不信是不思考的结果

 圣经解释了人心因压制上帝的证据而倾向于不信的倾向。 就像律师不希望在审判中出现任何可能损害其委托人名誉的证据一样，怀疑论者也会受到基于理性为上帝辩护的信徒的威胁。 保罗写道：“神的愤怒从天上显明在世人一切的不敬虔和不义上，就是那些行不义压制真理的人；因为神的事情，人所能知道的，原显明在他们心里，因为神已经给他们显明了”（罗马书1： 18-19）。

 这就是为什么当提到上帝时，无神论者会感到如此沮丧和愤怒。 他们压制真相的所有努力都被破坏了。 人类思维的倾向是故意压制或忽略它不想听到的东西。 恐惧也以类似的方式运作。 当我们停止健全的思考和推理时，恐惧就会闯入我们的生活。 例如，我知道飞行比开车安全得多，并且在过去三十年的事工中，我已经飞行了数百万英里。 尽管我知道飞行是安全的，但有时湍流会让我不必要地担心坠机。 通过运用理性，我可以平息我的恐惧并恢复我的信心，即湍流不会导致飞机坠毁，就像崎岖不平的土路不会导致我的汽车坠毁一样。 合理的推理可以恢复我对飞行的信心。

 不信可能是由于不记得而导致的。 耶稣创造了许多奇迹，例如用一把面包和几条鱼喂饱了数千人。 一次又一次，虽然他的门徒经历了一个又一个的奇迹，但当他们面临另一个挑战时，他们就会忘记耶稣的力量。 门徒的不信是因为没有清晰地思考和不记得的结果。 合理的推理可以恢复你对神的信心。

IS SCIENCE THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING?

While reason is obviously vital for our existence, it must not be applied in an unreasonable fashion. This tendency is seen when reason used in a reductionist fashion and attempts to limit truth to only that which is scientifically and empirically verifiable, even eliminating logical and philosophical means of attaining knowledge. Atheists tend to do this when they portray science as the savior of humanity. This philosophy is called scientism and the belief that science is the only source of knowledge; not even philosophy or theology may weigh in on the ultimate questions that face our world. “Indeed, it is the ideology of a great part of the scientific world. Its adherents see science as having a mission that goes beyond the mere investigation of nature or the discovery of physical laws. That mission is to free mankind from superstition in all its forms, and especially in the form of religious belief. "¹⁷

Scientism is a philosophical position that all of life's challenges and riddles can and should be handled scientifically. Science is certainly important, but it is not able to answer the ultimate questions. In a review of Daniel Dennett's book Breaking the Spell in the New York Times, literary critic Leon Wieseltier wrote, "Scientism, the view that science can explain all human conditions and expressions, mental as well as physical, is a superstition, one of the dominant superstitions of our day; and it is not insult to science to say so.”¹⁸ Linguist Noam Chomsky, by no means an advocate for religion, nonetheless pointed out the limits of science:

Science talks about very simple things, and asks hard questions about them. As soon as things become too complex, science can't deal with them. But it's a complicated matter: Science studies what's at the edge of understanding, and what's at the edge of understanding is usually fairly simple. And it rarely reaches human affairs. Human affairs are way too complicated.¹⁹

Therefore, we must look for something beyond science to guide through this complexity with justice, fairness, and mercy. Yet finding such a source of ethics that originates in humanity is not easy.

科学是一切问题的答案吗？

 虽然理性对于我们的存在显然至关重要，但它不能以不合理的方式应用。 当理性以还原论的方式使用，并试图将真理限制为仅可通过科学和经验验证的真理，甚至消除获取知识的逻辑和哲学手段时，就会出现这种趋势。 当无神论者将科学描绘成人类的救世主时，他们往往会这样做。 这种哲学被称为科学主义，相信科学是知识的唯一来源； 即使是哲学或神学也无法对我们世界面临的终极问题发表意见。 “事实上，这是科学界很大一部分人的意识形态。 它的追随者认为科学的使命不仅仅是研究自然或发现物理定律。 这一使命是将人类从一切形式的迷信中解放出来，特别是宗教信仰形式的迷信。 “¹⁷

 科学主义是一种哲学立场，认为所有生活的挑战和谜题都可以而且应该以科学的方式处理。 科学固然重要，但它无法回答终极问题。 在《纽约时报》对丹尼尔·丹尼特的书《打破魔咒》的评论中，文学评论家利昂·维塞尔蒂尔写道：“科学主义，认为科学可以解释所有人类状况和表达，无论是精神上的还是身体上的，是一种迷信，是 我们这个时代占主导地位的迷信；这么说并不是对科学的侮辱。”¹⁸ 

语言学家诺姆·乔姆斯基绝不是宗教的拥护者，但他指出了科学的局限性：

 科学谈论非常简单的事情，并提出有关它们的难题。 一旦事情变得太复杂，科学就无法应对。 但这是一个复杂的问题：科学研究的是处于理解边缘的东西，而处于理解边缘的东西通常相当简单。 而且它很少触及人事。 人世间的事情太复杂了。

 因此，我们必须寻找科学之外的东西，以正义、公平和仁慈来指导解决这一复杂问题。 然而，找到这种源自人类的道德源泉并不容易。

LIMITS OF SCIENCE

Science is certainly important. It explains how the physical world works. It is the process that is used to investigate how to grow crops, cure disease, and develop inventions that make our world safer and more interconnected through technology. But science cannot explain some of the most important elements of human existence. Christian philosopher William Lane Craig, in a debate with atheist Peter Atkins, pointed out these things that demonstrate the limits of science. In a rather humorous exchange, Atkins shockingly asserted that "science is omnipotent,"²⁰ which Craig retorted quickly that there were several things not provable by the scientific method. These include the following.

科学的局限性

 科学当然很重要。 它解释了物理世界是如何运作的。 这个过程用于研究如何种植农作物、治疗疾病和开发发明，通过技术使我们的世界更加安全和更加互联。 但科学无法解释人类存在的一些最重要的要素。 基督教哲学家威廉·莱恩·克雷格在与无神论者彼得·阿特金斯的辩论中指出了这些证明科学局限性的事情。 在一次相当幽默的交流中，阿特金斯令人震惊地断言“科学是万能的”，克雷格很快反驳说，有几件事无法用科学方法证明。 其中包括以下内容。

ETHICS AND MORALITY

Science can't tell us how we should live our lives-what is right and wrong, good and evil. Scientists can certainly be ethical and moral people, but they didn't derive character from scientific experimentation. In other words, a scientist didn't hold an experiment and conclude scientifically that murder was wrong. Science can't answer the deepest ethical issues of our day. Science doesn't determine ethics; ethics should be a guide to science.

It can explain what happens, but it can never determine how one ought to live. For instance, scientists can study the consequences of certain actions, such as charity abuse. However, they can never justify why one action is morally superior to another.

伦理道德

 科学无法告诉我们应该如何生活——什么是对、什么是错、什么是善、什么是恶。 科学家当然可以是有道德的人，但他们的品格并不是从科学实验中获得的。 换句话说，科学家没有进行实验并科学地得出谋杀是错误的结论。 科学无法回答当今最深刻的伦理问题。 科学并不决定道德；科学决定道德。 道德应该成为科学的指南。

 它可以解释发生的事情，但它永远无法决定一个人应该如何生活。 例如，科学家可以研究某些行为的后果，例如慈善滥用。 然而，他们永远无法证明为什么一种行为在道德上优于另一种行为。

MATHEMATICS

The mathematical order in the universe was discovered, not invented. Even more basic than the order are the numbers themselves; they must be accepted as simply true. It's because of this mathematical order that we can explore the world around us with such confidence. Mathematics allows us to send probes into outer space as well as into our own bodies. “The miracle of the appropriateness of the language of mathematics for the formulation of the laws of physics is a wonderful gift which we neither understand nor deserve. We should be grateful for it and hope that it will remain valid in future research,"²¹

Mathematics is an abstract creation of rules and relationships by the human mind. Why should it explain so elegantly the mechanics of our universe with relatively few equations? Most significantly, mathematics is the language and foundation of science, so science can never justify its existence. In other words, if math is the basis of science, then science can't be math's source of verification. It would be like a house holding up a foundation rather than a foundation holding up a house. This is a glimpse of how difficult it is to have science be the ultimate judge of whether God exists, since God is the Creator and ground of all being.

数学

 宇宙中的数学秩序是被发现的，而不是发明的。 比顺序更基本的是数字本身； 它们必须被视为完全正确。 正是由于这种数学顺序，我们才能充满信心地探索周围的世界。 数学使我们能够将探测器发射到外太空以及我们自己的身体中。 “数学语言对于物理定律的表述的适用性是一个奇迹，这是我们既不理解也不配得的奇妙礼物。 我们应该对此表示感谢，并希望它在未来的研究中仍然有效。”

 数学是人类思维对规则和关系的抽象创造。 为什么它要用相对较少的方程如此优雅地解释我们宇宙的力学？ 最重要的是，数学是科学的语言和基础，因此科学永远无法证明其存在的合理性。 换句话说，如果数学是科学的基础，那么科学就不能成为数学验证的来源。 这就好比是房子支撑着地基，而不是地基支撑着房子。 这让我们看到，要让科学来最终判断上帝是否存在是多么困难，因为上帝是万物的创造者和基础。

 

REASON

Reason is like the central processing unit in a computer hard drive. When you buy a computer like the one I'm working on, the creator of the computer has placed within it a processor that is able to run the programs and the software that are loaded on the hard drive. Similarly God has created us to be rational creatures. We can think abstractly, learn languages at an amazing speed, and know the difference between right and wrong. In contrast, natural selection would only have developed in us the basic abilities to survive: acquire food, avoid danger, and find a mate. Nature would not have generated the capacity for higher reason. “The notion that the only rational beliefs are those that can be confirmed by scientific observation, experiment and measurement is yet another self-refuting proposition, since it is a statement that itself cannot be confirmed by scientific observation, experiment and measurement."²²

God must necessarily exist in order for atheists not to believe in Him. There is no other explanation for the capacity to reason (even poorly).

Atheism and naturalism can't account for reason. To say that reason came into being for no reason is unreasonable. The logical processes of reason and deduction in the scientific method must be assumed in order for scientific inquiry to take place; therefore, science can't verify itself in the strict sense.

原因

 原因 (Reason) 就像计算机硬盘中的中央处理器。 当您购买像我正在使用的计算机一样的计算机时，计算机的创建者已在其中放置了一个处理器，该处理器能够运行硬盘驱动器上加载的程序和软件。 同样，上帝将我们创造为理性的生物。 我们可以抽象地思考，以惊人的速度学习语言，并知道正确与错误的区别。 相比之下，自然选择只会在我们身上培养基本的生存能力：获取食物、避免危险和寻找伴侣。 大自然不会因为更高的原因而产生这种能力。 “唯一合理的信念是那些可以通过科学观察、实验和测量证实的信念，这是另一个自我反驳的命题，因为它本身是无法通过科学观察、实验和测量证实的。”²²

上帝必须存在，无神论者才不会相信他。 对于推理能力（即使很差）没有其他解释。

 无神论和自然主义无法解释理性。 说理性无缘无故地产生，是没有道理的。 为了进行科学探究，必须假定科学方法中的推理和演绎的逻辑过程； 因此，严格意义上的科学无法自我验证。

WHY?

The biggest limitation of science is that it can't tell us why we are here. Why was the universe made? Why are we here? Why is there something rather than nothing? Dawkins now bristles at the why question and calls it silly, possibly because he knows that science will never really answer it. " 'Why? is a silly . . . 'Why?' is a silly question. 'Why?’ is a silly question. You can ask, 'What are the factors that led to something coming into existence?' That's a sensible question. But 'What is the purpose of the universe?' is a silly question. It has no meaning.” ²³

Curiously, just a couple of years earlier in a debate with John Lennox in Birmingham, Alabama, Dawkins's opening statement said that his motivation for getting into science was the why question. “My interest in Biology started with the fundamental questions of our existence. Why we are all here."²⁴ The question of why we're here is far from silly; it is fundamental to our existence, ground zero for our identity as humans, and part of our future.

为什么？

 科学最大的局限性是它无法告诉我们为什么会在这里。 宇宙为何被创造？ 我们为什么在这里？ 为什么有东西而不是没有？ 道金斯现在对“为什么”的问题感到愤怒，并称其愚蠢，可能是因为他知道科学永远无法真正回答这个问题。 “‘为什么？是个愚蠢的......‘为什么？’ 是一个愚蠢的问题。“为什么？”是一个愚蠢的问题。你可以问，“导致某物存在的因素是什么？” 这是一个明智的问题。但是“宇宙的目的是什么？” 这是一个愚蠢的问题。它没有任何意义。” ²³

 奇怪的是，就在几年前，在阿拉巴马州伯明翰与约翰·伦诺克斯的一场辩论中，道金斯的开场白说，他进入科学的动机是“为什么”问题。 “我对生物学的兴趣始于我们存在的基本问题。 为什么我们都在这里。”²⁴ 我们为什么在这里的问题一点也不愚蠢；它是我们存在的基础，是我们作为人类身份的归零地，也是我们未来的一部分。

RELIGION AND SCIENCE ARE ANSWERING DIFFERENT QUESTIONS

The late Stephen Jay Gould of Harvard spoke about faith and science being "non-overlapping magisteria."²⁵ This means they are two distinct, equally valid spheres of existence. While his work and contributions are celebrated by most skeptics, many skeptics are critical of Gould for not dismissing religion and faith as delusional and for conceding the contributions that people of faith have made to the world. "Science and religion are not mutually exclusive, [John] Polkinghorne argues. In fact, both are necessary to our understanding of the world. 'Science asks how things happen. But there are questions of meaning and value and purpose which science does not address. Religion asks why. And it is my belief that we can and should ask both questions about the same event.' "²⁶

Science basically tells us how things work. Religion and faith tell us why things are here and how we should live ethically and morally. Neither of these questions can be answered by science.

"Science tells us that burning gas heats the water and makes the kettle boil,” [Polkinghorne] says. But science doesn't explain the “why” question. “The kettle is boiling because I want to make a cup of tea; would you like some? don't have to choose between the answers to those questions," declares Polkinghorne. “In fact, in order to understand the mysterious event of the boiling kettle, I need both those kinds of answers to tell me what's going on. So I need the insights of science and the insights of religion if I'm understand the rich and many-layered world in which we live.”²⁷

There is no real conflict between science and God, but there is a conflict between naturalism and faith. Naturalism is the belief that all that exists is nature. This excludes by definition anything supernatural or beyond nature. In a 1941 lecture called “Science, Philosophy and Religion: a Symposium,” prepared for a conference at the Jewish Theological Institute in New York, Albert Einstein gave insight into his view that both realms of religion and science are valid:

Science can only be created by those who are thoroughly imbued with the aspiration towards truth and understanding. This source of feeling, however, springs from the sphere religion. To this there also belongs the faith in the possibility that the regulations valid for the world of existence are rational, that is, comprehensible to reason. I cannot conceive of a genuine scientist without that profound faith. The situation may be expressed by an image: Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.²⁸

While Einstein did not believe in a traditional understanding of God, he did express the understanding of many scientists then and today that science is as much dependent on faith as any major religion.

宗教和科学正在回答不同的问题

 已故的哈佛大学教授史蒂芬·杰伊·古尔德谈到信仰和科学是“不重叠的权威”。这意味着它们是两个不同的、同样有效的存在领域。 虽然他的工作和贡献受到大多数怀疑论者的赞扬，但许多怀疑论者批评古尔德没有将宗教和信仰视为妄想，并承认有信仰的人对世界做出的贡献。 “科学和宗教并不是相互排斥的，[约翰]波尔金霍恩认为。事实上，两者对于我们理解世界都是必要的。“科学询问事物是如何发生的。但是存在科学无法解决的意义、价值和目的问题 “宗教问为什么。我相信我们可以而且应该就同一事件提出两个问题。 ”²⁶

 科学基本上告诉我们事物是如何运作的。 宗教和信仰告诉我们事物为何存在，以及我们应该如何合乎伦理和道德地生活。 这些问题都无法用科学来回答。

 “科学告诉我们，燃烧的气体会加热水并使水壶沸腾，”[Polkinghorne] 说。但科学并没有解释“为什么”问题。“水壶沸腾是因为我想泡一杯茶； “你喜欢一些吗？不必在这些问题的答案之间做出选择，”Polkinghorne 说道。 “事实上，为了了解水壶沸腾的神秘事件，我需要这两种答案来告诉我到底发生了什么。 因此，如果我要了解我们所生活的丰富且多层次的世界，我需要科学的见解和宗教的见解。”²⁷

 科学与上帝之间并没有真正的冲突，但自然主义与信仰之间存在冲突。 自然主义相信一切存在都是自然。 根据定义，这排除了任何超自然或超越自然的事物。 1941 年，阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦为纽约犹太神学院的一次会议准备了一场题为“科学、哲学和宗教：研讨会”的演讲，深入阐述了他的观点，即宗教和科学领域都是有效的：

 科学只能由那些完全充满对真理和理解的渴望的人创造。 然而，这种感觉的源泉来自于领域宗教。 与此相关的还有这样一种信念，即对存在世界有效的规则是理性的，即可以为理性所理解的规则。 如果没有这种坚定的信念，我无法想象一个真正的科学家。 这种情况可以用一个形象来表达：没有宗教的科学是蹩脚的，没有科学的宗教是盲目的。²⁸

 虽然爱因斯坦不相信对上帝的传统理解，但他确实表达了当时和今天许多科学家的理解，即科学与任何主要宗教一样依赖于信仰。

SUMMARY

Real faith is not blind. It is evidence-based and requires all our efforts in pursuit of the truth. God requires that we not bury our heads in the sand but open our eyes to behold the evidence of Him all around us. He calls us to use our reason and intellect (Isaiah 1:18; Matthew 22:37) as we develop a faith that is credible. The challenge for skeptics is to follow the evidence wherever it leads, regardless of preconceived ideas, not closing their eyes to the obvious when it contradicts their worldview. Ironically, it is the nature of skeptics to be unaware that they are blind to the truths evidencing a supernatural Creator. In this case their reasoning can become darkened and unreliable (Romans 1:21).

All faith should contain reason just as reason itself contains faith. I have heard it said that no one has absolute certainty except God and certain madmen. Tragically, when skeptics try to assert the nonexistence of God, they lose touch with reality and sound reason and unwittingly head down the long, dark road to insanity.

概括

 真正的信仰不是盲目的。 它是有证据的，需要我们尽一切努力去追求真相。 神要求我们不要把头埋在沙子里，而要睁开眼睛，看到他在我们周围的证据。 他呼吁我们运用理性和智力（以赛亚书 1：18；马太福音 22：37）来培养可信的信仰。 怀疑论者面临的挑战是无论证据如何，都要追随证据，无论其先入为主的想法如何，当证据与他们的世界观相矛盾时，不要对显而易见的事实视而不见。 讽刺的是，怀疑论者的本质是不知道他们对证明超自然造物主的真理视而不见。 在这种情况下，他们的推理就会变得黑暗和不可靠（罗马书1:21）。

 所有的信仰都应该包含理性，正如理性本身包含信仰一样。 我听人说过，除了上帝和某些疯子之外，没有人有绝对的确定性。 可悲的是，当怀疑论者试图断言上帝不存在时，他们就失去了与现实和合理理性的联系，不知不觉地走上了漫长而黑暗的疯狂之路。

A PLANT-BASED APPROACH TO

EATING TO BEAT DISEASE

PLANT-BASED DIETS

What if there was a way we could kill cancer stem cells, support our immune system, protect our DNA, and stimulate the development of blood vessels in the body? Well, I have some exciting news your we can. The prescription is simple: eat delicious food. My forthcoming book, Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How the Body Can Heal Itself, highlights the science that proves this to be true. Better yet, the foods we look at are also proof positive that by choosing to eat a plant-based diet, you've already made an incredibly impactful choice for your health.

Just take a look at some of the science that shows how plant-based eating supports your health:

• Lengthens your telomeres: Telomeres are the end strands of our DNA that protect them from damage. Think of them like the little cap on the end of your shoelace they prevent the rest of your DNA from falling apart! A recent study reports that vegetable-rich diets are associated with longer telomere length in women. Longer telomeres = healthier DNA!

• Allows our microbiome to live long and prosper: Plant-based foods are nature's powerhouses for delivering natural dietary fibers to your body. Dietary fiber is what feeds the organisms that live within your microbiome, so the more of those you eat, the healthier and stronger your microbiome becomes. Why does that matter? Well, the microbiome is linked to your body's other health defense systems, maintaining a healthy microbiome is vital to essential processes like angiogenesis (blood vessel development), stem cell function, and DNA protection!

• Guards your DNA: Plant-based diets are also rich in bioactives (compounds present in food that have an effect on the organism consuming it) that benefit the body. For example, the antioxidants found in oranges, like vitamin C, naringenin, and hesperidin, have been shown to improve the properties of blood to protect DNA. The combined antioxidant benefits gained from consuming whole foods are more powerful than swallowing a supplement, adding evidence that eating a healthy diet is better than using vitamins as a shortcut.

• Meaningfully treats immune disease: Another benefit? The compounds available in plant-based diets also calm your immune system and help with major immune disorders, like MS. A recent study even showed plant-based eating can help improve MS symptoms.

And this all comes just from continuing to eat the foods that are already on your plate! Wondering how you can magnify these impacts even further? Then I suggest learning about the 5x5x5 framework, which I lay out in Eat to Beat Disease. This model is intended to help you make food choices that positively affect the body's five defense systems (angiogenesis, regeneration, DNA protection, microbiome, and immunity) each and every day. Optimizing your plant-based diet to improve each system using this model is the next step to leading a healthier, happier life.

Want to get started? Let's go through a few examples of foods with built-in health effects, look at kitchen tips that could change your life, and practice revolutionizing your health with a few new recipes.

植物性饮食

 如果有一种方法可以杀死癌症干细胞、支持我们的免疫系统、保护我们的 DNA 并刺激体内血管的发育呢？ 好吧，我有一些令人兴奋的消息，我们可以。 药方很简单：吃美味的食物。 我即将出版的书《通过饮食战胜疾病：身体如何自我治愈的新科学》强调了证明这一点的科学。 更好的是，我们研究的食物也证明，通过选择植物性饮食，您已经为自己的健康做出了极其重要的选择。

 只需看一下一些科学即可证明植物性饮食如何支持您的健康：

 • 延长端粒：端粒是DNA 的末端链，可保护它们免受损坏。 把它们想象成鞋带末端的小帽子，它们可以防止你其余的 DNA 崩溃！ 最近的一项研究报告称，富含蔬菜的饮食与女性端粒长度更长有关。 更长的端粒=更健康的DNA！

 • 让我们的微生物群得以长寿和繁荣：植物性食品是大自然的动力源，可为您的身体提供天然膳食纤维。 膳食纤维是微生物组内微生物的食物，因此您吃的越多，您的微生物组就会变得越健康、越强大。 为什么这很重要？ 嗯，微生物组与您身体的其他健康防御系统相关，维持健康的微生物组对于血管生成（血管发育）、干细胞功能和 DNA 保护等基本过程至关重要！

 • 保护您的DNA：植物性饮食还富含对身体有益的生物活性物质（食物中存在的对食用该食物的生物体有影响的化合物）。 例如，橙子中发现的抗氧化剂，如维生素 C、柚皮素和橙皮苷，已被证明可以改善血液保护 DNA 的特性。 食用天然食品所获得的综合抗氧化功效比吞咽补充剂更强大，这进一步证明健康饮食比使用维生素作为捷径更好。

 • 有效治疗免疫疾病：另一个好处？ 植物性饮食中的化合物还可以镇静您的免疫系统，并有助于治疗主要的免疫疾病，例如多发性硬化症。 最近的一项研究甚至表明植物性饮食有助于改善多发性硬化症的症状。

 而这一切都来自于继续吃盘子里已有的食物！ 想知道如何进一步放大这些影响？ 然后我建议学习 5x5x5 框架，我在《饮食战胜疾病》中阐述了该框架。 该模型旨在帮助您每天做出对身体五种防御系统（血管生成、再生、DNA 保护、微生物组和免疫）产生积极影响的食物选择。 使用此模型优化您的植物性饮食以改善每个系统是引领更健康、更幸福生活的下一步。

 想开始吗？ 让我们来看看一些具有内在健康功效的食物的例子，看看可以改变您⁹生活的厨房技巧，并练习用一些新食谱彻底改变您的健康。

5 FOODS WITH SURPRISING HEALTH BENEFITS

Ready to restock your fridge and take your diet to the next level? Eat to Beat Disease will have the complete list of 5x5x5 foods (there are over 200 foods scientifically proven to optimize one or more defense systems!), but below are five of my favorites, and information about the surprising health benefits they offer. Add these to your shopping list today!

■ Purple Potatoes: Food Fit for Royalty.

Originating from Peru, the purple potato was prized by the Incas for its nutritive benefits. Little did the Incas know, it was because these potatoes contain the bioactive anthocyanin, a blue-purple pigment that also gives dark berries their hue. It's this natural dye that packs a healthy punch. Researchers have found that purple potatoes can have health effects that range from wiping out colon cancer cells to killing cancer stem cells!

Researchers at Penn State University found in a laboratory test that, compared to an anti-inflammatory drug called Sulindac, purple potatoes had a comparable efficacy of starving colon cancer stem cells of key survival factors they needed to grow, effectively killing them. Best of all, these bioactives seems to remain stable under many different conditions, so you can cook and enjoy the potatoes any way you like!

■ Kiwi: A Darling for DNA.

We should first talk about the kiwi by correcting our nomenclature. The fruit we call kiwi has a proper name: kiwifruit. It's actually a large berry that originated in China, where it was once collected from the wild for medicinal purposes.

With that settled, we should thank the kiwifruit for the positive improvements it brings to our microbiome (maintaining the integrity of our lining to prevent “leaky gut”), glucose metabolism, and lipid metabolism. Kiwifruit also contains high levels of vitamin C, chlorogenic acid (just like blueberries!), and quinic acid, which all have antioxidant effects.

Perhaps most interestingly, researchers at the Rowett Research Institute in Scotland examined kiwifruit's ability to reduce DNA damage. They recruited 14 healthy volunteers and gave them one, two, or three kiwifruits to eat each day. The participants ate a different dose of fruit during each of three periods of time, and their blood was drawn for a Comet assay at the beginning and end of each period. The results showed that eating kiwi, regardless of the amount, could reduce DNA damage by approximately 60%. When the researchers looked further at the DNA, they found that eating three fruits per day actually increased DNA repair activity by 66%. So, eating kiwifruit not only aids the blood in neutralizing DNA-damaging free radicals, but it also helps rejuvenate DNA that has already been damaged!

Blueberries: An Athlete's Best Friend?

More than just a smoothie favorite, blueberries are worthy of a dedicated daily dose. Their blue hue comes from the bioactive delphinidin, an antiangiogenic compound. Other bioactives, like resveratrol and cholorgenic acid, can activate cardiac stem cells and regenerate heart tissue under stress, protect stem cells, or have anti-inflammatory, antiangiogenic, and blood pressure lowering effects.

If you're an athelete, then pay blueberries extra attention. A consortium of academic researchers collaborated on a study aimed at defining the impact of blueberries on the body after intense exercise. At the end of six weeks of eating blueberries, study participants did a two-and-a-half hour treadmill run and blood was drawn to see what happened to their immune cells, and the effect of eating blueberries. The blood samples were analyzed for different immune cells, including T-cells, B-cells, and natural killer (NK) cells.

The results were eye-opening. Blueberry eaters had almost double the number of NK cells before exercise compared to those who did not eat blueberries. More surprisingly, NK cells remained elevated in these individuals for at least one hour after exercise ceased, which is the exact inverse of what is normally observed, as NK cells tend to rapidly decline after intense exercise!

The ability of blueberries to increase NK cell numbers, even in circumstances where they would ordinarily decline, is significant. NK cells are critical to immune responses that eliminate virus-infected cells or tumor cells, and they can help the immune system develop learned responses to foreign invaders. 

Who's ready for a cancer-fighting, DNA-repairing blueberry and kiwi fruit salad?!

■ Tea: Pour an Extra Cup

Tea, second most popular beverage the world after drinking water, has been brewed for more than 4,000 years. Tea leaves contain more than 2,000 bioactive compounds, like catechins (EGCG), gallic acid, and theaflavins. Tea extracts have really potent angiogenesis inhibitory effects.

In addition to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiangiogenic properties, the health-promoting polyphenols in tea enhance the microbiome. Overall, drinking any tea increases good bacteria, decreases bad bacteria, and helps the microbiome produce more of the beneficial health-promoting short chain fatty acid metabolites.

Different varietals of teas exhibit different potencies, but here's what you can expect from my favorite types:

● Green Tea 🍵 

Of course, most people commonly think of green tea as the healthiest tea, and we can thank the presence of polyphenols like EGCG for that. EGCG reduces harmful angiogenesis and cancer growth, lowers blood pressure, improves blood lipids, restores homeostasis of immune cells, and has anti inflammatory properties. Drinking 2-3 cups of green tea daily reduces the risk of colon cancer by 40%.

Specific to cancer, green tea meaningfully impacts cancer stem cells, which are responsible for initiating the growth of many cancers, as well as igniting recurrence after treatment. One recent discovery showed that green tea (because of the presence of EGCG) can kill cancer stem cells by starving them of the vital blood supply they need to metastasize. This effect may help explain one of the many protective effects of tea against colon and other cancers.

■ Black Tea 🍵 

According to popular lore, black tea should be devoid of health benefits because it is fermented and has fewer polyphenols than green tea. However, black tea can mobilize stem cells, promoting regeneration.

◆ Chamomile Tea 🍵 

Chamomile tea is an herbal tea made with the dried petals of the chamomile flower. Chamomile contains bioactives like apigenin, caffeic acid, and chlorogenic acid, which all have antiangiogenic activity. Researchers at the University of Minho in Braga, Portugal, found that chamomile tea couldi inhibit angiogenesis by preventing signals that activate blood vessel cells from being sent.

■ Pomegranate: Get to Know Akkermansia.

Whether you think of yourself as a certified health nut, or just enjoy an occasional scroll through the science section of your favorite news website, you've likely already seen or heard about the reams of research into the microbiome. There's good reason for that — it's one of our body's five key defense systems, and it wields wide-ranging influence over our health.

The microbiome is made up of trillions of bacteria and I'm a big fan of one in particular: Akkermansia muciniphila. (I know, it's a mouthful!) It only makes up only 3% of all the bacteria in the gut microbiome, but this small population carries a big stick! Akkermansia can help control the immune system, improve blood glucose metabolism in the body, decrease gut inflammation, and combat obesity.

Its impact on the immune system is especially startling. Out of 37 trillion bacteria in the microbiome, the presence of Akkermansia predicts the best response to a cancer immunotherapy. If patients have the bacteria, they are more likely to respond and fight their own cancer. If they lack the bacteria, their immune system may not respond, and the treatment fails. Checkpoint inhibitors, one of the most cutting-edge forms of cancer treatment, which use the body's own defense systems to fight cancer, are proving to work most effectively in patients where a rich population of Akkermansia is present in their gut.

Unfortunately, if you're rushing to the health food store or Amazon to buy Akkermansia, you're out of luck. It is not effective as a probiotic. But you can eat certain fruit and drink their juices to change the gut's environment to become one that will stimulate the growth of Akkermansia.

The best option? Pomegranate juice, which is high in ellagitannins, has been shown to encourage growth of Akkermansia!

5 种具有惊人健康益处的食物

  准备好给你的冰箱补充食物并将你的饮食提升到一个新的水平吗？ 通过饮食来战胜疾病将提供 5x5x5 食物的完整列表（科学证明有 200 多种食物可以优化一种或多种防御系统！），但以下是我最喜欢的五种食物，以及有关它们提供的令人惊讶的健康益处的信息。 立即将这些添加到您的购物清单中！

  紫薯：适合皇室的食物

  紫薯原产于秘鲁，因其营养价值而受到印加人的珍视。 印加人几乎不知道，这是因为这些土豆含有生物活性花青素，这是一种蓝紫色色素，也赋予深色浆果颜色。 这种天然染料具有健康的功效。 研究人员发现，紫薯对健康有多种作用，从消灭结肠癌细胞到杀死癌症干细胞！

  宾夕法尼亚州立大学的研究人员在实验室测试中发现，与一种名为苏林酸的抗炎药物相比，紫薯在使结肠癌干细胞缺乏生长所需的关键生存因子方面具有类似的功效，从而有效地杀死它们。 最重要的是，这些生物活性物质似乎在许多不同的条件下都保持稳定，因此您可以按照自己喜欢的方式烹饪和享用土豆！

  猕猴桃：DNA 的宠儿

  我们应该首先纠正我们的命名法来谈论奇异果。 我们称之为猕猴桃的水果有一个专有的名字：猕猴桃。 它实际上是一种起源于中国的大浆果，曾经从野外采集用于药用。

  解决了这个问题后，我们应该感谢猕猴桃对我们的微生物组（保持内壁完整性以防止“肠漏”）、葡萄糖代谢和脂质代谢带来的积极改善。 猕猴桃还含有高含量的维生素C、绿原酸（就像 蓝莓！）和奎宁酸，它们都具有抗氧化作用。

  也许最有趣的是，苏格兰罗威特研究所的研究人员研究了

  猕猴桃具有减少 DNA 损伤的能力。 他们招募了 14 名健康志愿者，每天给他们吃一个、两个或三个猕猴桃。 参与者在三个时间段内各吃不同剂量的水果，并在每个时间段开始和结束时抽血进行彗星测定。 结果表明，吃猕猴桃，无论数量多少，都可以减少大约 60% 的 DNA 损伤。 当研究人员进一步观察 DNA 时，他们发现每天吃三个水果实际上使 DNA 修复活性提高了 66%。 因此，吃猕猴桃不仅有助于血液中和破坏 DNA 的自由基，而且还有助于使已经受损的 DNA 恢复活力！

  蓝莓：运动员最好的朋友？

  蓝莓不仅仅是人们喜爱的冰沙，还值得每天专门服用。 它们的蓝色来自生物活性飞燕草素，一种抗血管生成化合物。 其他生物活性物质，如白藜芦醇和绿原酸，可以激活心脏干细胞并在压力下再生心脏组织，保护干细胞，或具有​​抗炎、抗血管生成和降血压作用。

  如果您是运动员，请特别注意蓝莓。 一个由学术研究人员组成的联盟合作开展了一项研究，旨在确定蓝莓在剧烈运动后对身体的影响。 在吃蓝莓六周后，研究参与者在跑步机上跑了两个半小时，并抽血来观察他们的免疫细胞发生了什么变化，以及吃蓝莓的效果。 对血液样本中的不同免疫细胞进行了分析，包括 T 细胞、B 细胞和自然杀伤 (NK) 细胞。

  结果令人大开眼界。 与不吃蓝莓的人相比，吃蓝莓的人在运动前的 NK 细胞数量几乎增加了一倍。 更令人惊讶的是，这些个体的 NK 细胞在运动停止后至少一小时内仍保持升高状态，这与通常观察到的情况正好相反，因为 NK 细胞在剧烈运动后往往会迅速下降！

  蓝莓具有显着增加 NK 细胞数量的能力，即使在通常情况下自然杀伤细胞数量会减少的情况下也是如此。 NK 细胞对于消除病毒感染细胞或肿瘤细胞的免疫反应至关重要，它们可以帮助免疫系统对外来入侵者产生习得性反应。

谁准备好享用抗癌、DNA 修复的蓝莓猕猴桃沙拉了吗？！

  茶：多倒一杯

  茶是世界上仅次于饮用水的第二大最受欢迎的饮料，已有 4000 多年的酿造历史。 茶叶含有 2,000 多种生物活性化合物，如儿茶素 (EGCG)、没食子酸和茶黄素。 茶提取物具有真正有效的血管生成抑制作用。

  除了抗氧化、抗炎和抗血管生成特性外，茶中促进健康的多酚还能增强微生物组。 总体而言，喝任何茶都会增加有益细菌，减少有害细菌，并帮助微生物组产生更多有益健康的短链脂肪酸代谢物。

  不同品种的茶表现出不同的功效，但以下是我最喜欢的茶类型的功效：

  绿茶

  当然，大多数人普遍认为绿茶是最健康的茶，这要归功于 EGCG 等多酚的存在。 EGCG 减少有害血管生成和癌症生长、降低血压、改善血脂、恢复免疫细胞的稳态，并具有抗炎特性。 每天喝2-3杯绿茶可降低40%患结肠癌的风险。

  针对癌症，绿茶对癌症干细胞具有有意义的影响，癌症干细胞负责启动许多癌症的生长，并引发治疗后的复发。 最近的一项发现表明，绿茶（因为含有 EGCG）可以通过使癌症干细胞缺乏转移所需的重要血液供应来杀死它们。 这种效应可能有助于解释茶对结肠癌和其他癌症的众多保护作用之一。

  红茶

  根据流行的说法，红茶应该没有健康益处，因为它是发酵的，并且比绿茶含有更少的多酚。 然而，红茶可以动员干细胞，促进再生。

  甘菊茶

  洋甘菊茶是一种用洋甘菊花的干燥花瓣制成的花草茶。 洋甘菊含有芹菜素、咖啡酸和绿原酸等生物活性物质，它们都具有抗血管生成作用 活动。 葡萄牙布拉加米尼奥大学的研究人员发现，洋甘菊茶可以通过阻止发送激活血管细胞的信号来抑制血管生成。

  石榴：了解阿克曼氏菌

  无论您认为自己是经过认证的健康坚果，还是只是偶尔浏览一下您最喜欢的新闻网站的科学部分，您可能已经看到或听说过有关微生物组的大量研究。 这是有充分理由的——它是我们身体的五个关键防御系统之一，并且对我们的健康产生广泛的影响。

  微生物组由数万亿个细菌组成，我特别喜欢其中一种细菌：Akkermansia muciniphila。 （我知道，这很拗口！）它只占肠道微生物群中所有细菌的 3%，但这个小群体却携带着一根大棒！ Akkermansia 可以帮助控制免疫系统，改善体内血糖代谢，减少肠道炎症，并对抗肥胖。

  它对免疫系统的影响尤其令人震惊。 在微生物组的 37 万亿细菌中，阿克曼氏菌的存在预示着对癌症免疫疗法的最佳反应。 如果患者体内有这种细菌，他们就更有可能做出反应并对抗自己的癌症。 如果他们缺乏细菌，他们的免疫系统可能不会做出反应，治疗就会失败。 检查点抑制剂是最前沿的癌症治疗形式之一，它利用人体自身的防御系统来对抗癌症，事实证明，对于肠道中存在大量阿克曼氏菌的患者来说，检查点抑制剂最有效。

  不幸的是，如果你急于去健康食品商店或亚马逊购买阿克曼西亚，那你就不走运了。 它作为益生菌无效。 但你可以吃某些水果并喝它们的汁液来改变肠道环境，使其成为刺激阿克曼氏菌生长的环境。

  最好的选择？ 石榴汁富含鞣花单宁，已被证明可以促进阿克曼​​氏菌的生长！

♧ 5 KITCHEN TIPS

Eating to beat disease is about more than just food choices, it's lifestyle ones too! When it comes to your kitchen, that means being smart about how you eat the foods you love. Should you reheat your leftovers i the microwave or the toaster? Drink water from a plastic bottle or a glass one? Read on to find out!

■ Avoid Microwaving.

If leftovers are to be reheated, use the oven, stove, or toaster oven to heat gradually, instead of the microwave. Especially avoid microwaving starchy foods, since the high heat will change starches into a harmful polymer that can amass inside your body and cause damage to your organs. Extra credit: Pack that lunch in a glass or metal, not plastic, container!

■ Make Smart Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) Choices.

Stock up on cold-pressed olive oils made from one of the following monovarietals: koroneiki (Greece), picual (Spain), moraiolo (Italy) as they have the highest levels of polyphenols. Store EVOO in a dark tinted jar or bottle to protect it from light, which can make the oil become rancid, as well as degrade the health-promoting bioactives. EVOO can keep for up to 2 years from the date of bottling, if kept in a cool, dark area.

When using, do not heat olive oil (or any other oil) to its smoking point, which can generate toxic fumes as well as convert the oil into harmful trans-fats. If you are sautéing or stir-frying, use only a cast iron, stainless steel, or nonstick ceramic pan.

■ Use All Of The Vegetable.

The discarded portions of our veggies can be the healthiest! For broccoli, don't just cook the florets, prepare the stems, too. Same with mushrooms. Although we traditionally cook with the tops and throw away the stems, use them! The stems of both broccoli and mushrooms contain high levels of bioactives that support health defenses. Similarly, with carrots, not only should you buy whole fresh carrots, including their green tops, but you should also cook the greens. And when you cook with tomatoes, know that the skin contains high amounts of lycopene. Eat tomato skin!

■ Avoid Bottled Water.

Many people keep bottled water in their pantry for easy hydration, but I recommend you avoid regularly consuming water from plastic bottles. Studies have shown that even without BPA plastic, the plastic particles called “microplastic" will seep into the water you drink. One study found as many as 2,400 pieces of microplastic in just 8 fluid ounces of bottled water!

A hack for better water? Keep a glass pitcher of chilled water in the refrigerator, and add bioactives to it by dropping in sliced citrus, berries (blueberries!), celery, or cucumber to create refreshing, lightly flavored water. Transport with your own stainless steel, glass or other reusable water bottle.

■ Add Black Pepper.

Black pepper, like a few other spices mentioned in Eat to Beat Disease, won't just bring out the flavor in your food, it will also unlock defense system-optimizing capabilities inside your body. Piperine, the bioactive in pepper, leads to better absorption of other food bioactives, like curcumin from turmeric. Use whole peppercorns and grind, rather than relying on pre-ground pepper. It will give you a fresher taste - and promotes better absorption.

♧ 5 个厨房技巧

 通过饮食来战胜疾病不仅仅是食物的选择，还包括生活方式的选择！ 当谈到您的厨房时，这意味着要明智地选择如何吃您喜欢的食物。 你应该用微波炉还是烤面包机重新加热剩菜？ 喝塑料瓶的水还是玻璃瓶的水？ 请仔细阅读，找出答案！

 ■ 避免微波炉加热。

 如果要重新加热剩菜，请使用烤箱、火炉或烤面包机逐渐加热，而不是使用微波炉。 尤其要避免用微波炉加热淀粉类食物，因为高温会将淀粉变成有害的聚合物，这种聚合物会积聚在体内并对器官造成损害。 额外积分：将午餐装在玻璃或金属容器中，而不是塑料容器中！

 ■ 明智地选择特级初榨橄榄油 (EVOO)。

 储备以下单一品种之一制成的冷压橄榄油：koroneiki（希腊）、picual（西班牙）、moraiolo（意大利），因为它们的多酚含量最高。 将特级初榨橄榄油存放在深色罐子或瓶子中以避光，避光会使油变酸，并降低促进健康的生物活性物质。 如果保存在阴凉、避光的地方，特级初榨橄榄油自装瓶之日起可保存长达 2 年。

 使用时，请勿将橄榄油（或任何其他油）加热至冒烟点，否则会产生有毒烟雾并将油转化为有害的反式脂肪。 如果您要炒或炒，请仅使用铸铁、不锈钢或不粘陶瓷锅。

 ■ 使用所有的蔬菜。

 我们蔬菜中丢弃的部分可能是最健康的！ 对于西兰花，不仅要煮花，还要准备茎。 蘑菇也一样。 虽然我们传统上用顶部烹饪并扔掉茎，但请使用它们！ 西兰花和蘑菇的茎都含有高水平的生物活性物质，可支持健康防御。 同样，对于胡萝卜，您不仅应该购买完整的新鲜胡萝卜，包括其绿色的顶部，而且还应该将蔬菜煮熟。 当你用西红柿做饭时，要知道西红柿皮含有大量的番茄红素。 吃番茄皮！

 ■ 避免使用瓶装水。

 许多人在食品储藏室里放瓶装水以方便补充水分，但我建议您避免经常饮用塑料瓶装的水。 研究表明，即使没有 BPA 塑料，被称为“微塑料”的塑料颗粒也会渗入您饮用的水中。一项研究发现，仅 8 液量盎司的瓶装水中就含有多达 2,400 颗微塑料！

 改善水源的方法？ 在冰箱里放一罐冷水，加入生物活性剂，加入切片柑橘、浆果（蓝莓！）、芹菜或黄瓜，制成清爽、淡味的水。 使用您自己的不锈钢、玻璃或其他可重复使用的水瓶运输。

 ■ 添加黑胡椒。

 黑胡椒，就像《饮食战胜疾病》中提到的其他一些香料一样，不仅能带出食物的味道，还能释放体内防御系统的优化能力。 胡椒碱是胡椒中的生物活性物质，可以更好地吸收其他食物生物活性物质，例如姜黄中的姜黄素。 使用整个花椒并研磨，而不是依赖预先磨碎的胡椒。 它会给您带来更新鲜的味道 - 并促进更好的吸收。

◆ ROASTED 🍅TOMATOES 🍅 WITH ORECCHIETTE

Studies show that men who eat more tomatoes have lowered risk of prostate cancer. This cancer-fighting activity may be attributed to tomato's lycopene content, which is highest in the San Marzano tomato. There is a high amount of lycopene in tomato skin so consuming whole tomatoes may have more health benefits than eating peeled tomatoes. 

◆ 烤番茄配猫耳朵煎饼.

 研究表明，多吃西红柿的男性患前列腺癌的风险较低。 这种抗癌活性可能归因于番茄中的番茄红素含量，其中圣马扎诺番茄中的番茄红素含量最高。 番茄皮中含有大量番茄红素，因此食用整个番茄可能比吃去皮的番茄更有益于健康。

Healing Foods

 

Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy

1/12

Healthy food is the medicine we give our bodies every day. It can’t cure what ails you, but certain foods have the power to soothe symptoms and give your body a boost when you have specific illnesses or injuries. Help yourself to these healing foods.

🐔  Pho 🍜 

Chicken Pho

2/12

This Vietnamese soup packs more healing power than old-fashioned chicken and noodles when it comes to colds. Chicken pho (pronounced “fuh”) also packs the anti-viral power of star anise and the anti-inflammatory properties of cardamom and cinnamon. It has antioxidants in the form of goji berries and coriander seeds. Jalapenos bring calcium and vitamins A and C -- along with some nose-clearing spice.

Sardines

3/12

Sardines may not be the sexiest fish at the supermarket, but their little bones may help your broken bones heal faster. Usually packed into small tins with water, olive oil, or tomato juice, these tiny fish are full of calcium and vitamin D. They also have more bone-strengthening omega-3 fatty acids than most other fish. Bonus: Sardines are caught wild and young, which means their mercury levels are low.

 Green 🍌 

Unripe Bananas

4/12

Green bananas have a secret superpower: They’re great for diarrhea. They contain resistant starch, which means it doesn’t let your small intestine absorb it quickly. Instead, it feeds good bacteria in your digestive tract and tells the bad bacteria to get out. Bananas are also full of electrolytes like potassium, which can help you replace what you’ve lost.

 🍯 

Honey

5/12

Skip the honey-flavored lozenges and treat your cough with the real thing. Honey lessens inflammation, soothes pain, and kills bacteria. It’s also full of antibodies that fight viral infections. It’s packed with vitamins like niacin and vitamin C, and minerals like calcium and iron, for a healthy boost of energy. Add 2 tablespoons to warm water or tea for a natural cough suppressant with big benefits.

Kimchi

6/12

This traditional Korean dish may end your gas and bloating. It’s a spicy mix of vegetables like napa cabbage and radishes that are fermented, or preserved with natural good bacteria. When you eat it, it loads your gut with good bacteria, also called probiotics, and moves out bad bacteria that can cause belly distress. Some kinds of sauerkraut and pickles have the same effect: Look for the words “naturally fermented” on the label.

Horseradish

7/12

This cousin of mustard, onion, and garlic is anything but subtle. When you grate horseradish, it crushes the cells of the root. This releases the oils that bring out its signature heat. Even a small dab can make your eyes water and nose run. That’s great news if you have sinus or nasal issues: Horseradish moves out mucus that attracts bacteria if it stays in your system too long. Same for the green mound of wasabi that comes with sushi.

 ☕️ 

Coffee

8/12

When you have a headache, the blood vessels that feed your brain get tight, then enlarge and press against your nerves. That’s what causes the throb in your head. The caffeine in coffee, black tea, and chocolate causes your blood vessels to go back down in size. Don’t take this as permission to guzzle down cup after cup: You can also get a withdrawal headache after you have too much caffeine.

Kale

9/12

Small scrape? Knife cut? Start healing yourself with kale or other dark, leafy greens like spinach, broccoli, and collard and turnip greens. They have high amounts of the essential nutrient vitamin K, which helps your blood cells group up and clot. Not only does this stop you from losing more blood; it also protects your wound. K also helps your body build healthy bone tissue.

 🫚 

Ginger

10/12

Whether you love or hate the spicy bite of ginger, it’s great for your stomach. The root of the ginger plant has compounds called gingerols. They block the receptors in your digestive tract that cause nausea. Use it to treat morning sickness, motion sickness, and post-surgery or chemotherapy-related stomach issues. Ginger comes in many forms, including candied, dried, fresh, pickled, powdered, and ground.

Herbal 🍵 

Herbal Tea

11/12

Soothe your sore throat with a warm cup of herbal tea. If your throat hurts, peppermint tea has natural numbing qualities. Clove and green tea fight bacteria. Raspberry-flavored tea reduces inflammation. Chamomile will lubricate your throat: Drink it if you’re hoarse. Whatever you choose, make sure it’s decaf so you’re able to rest and sleep.

🍎 

Apples

12/12

You know what they say about apples -- and with good reason. Apples have high amounts of pectin, a soluble fiber in the walls of its cells. If you’re constipated, it gets your bowels moving. And if you have diarrhea, it reduces inflammation and helps firm up your bowel movements. To get the most fiber, leave the skin on. Other naturally high-fiber foods include raspberries, cooked artichokes, and Brussels sprouts.

 🐔 河粉🍜

 鸡河粉

 2/12

 这种越南汤比老式的鸡肉和面条更有治疗感冒的功效。 鸡肉河粉（发音为“fuh”）还含有八角茴香的抗病毒功效以及小豆蔻和肉桂的抗炎特性。 它含有枸杞和香菜籽形式的抗氧化剂。 墨西哥胡椒含有钙、维生素 A 和 C，以及一些清鼻的香料。

 沙丁鱼

 3/12

 沙丁鱼可能不是超市里最性感的鱼，但它们的小​​骨头可能会帮助你的骨折更快愈合。 这些小鱼通常装在装有水、橄榄油或番茄汁的小罐中，富含钙和维生素 D。它们还比大多数其他鱼含有更多的增强骨骼的 omega-3 脂肪酸。 额外好处：沙丁鱼是野生捕获的，而且是幼鱼，这意味着它们的汞含量很低。

 绿色🍌

 未成熟的香蕉

 4/12

 青香蕉有一个秘密的超能力：它们对腹泻非常有效。 它们含有抗性淀粉，这意味着它不会让您的小肠快速吸收。 相反，它会喂养消化道中的好细菌，并告诉坏细菌离开。 香蕉还富含钾等电解质，可以帮助您补充失去的电解质。

 🍯

 蜂蜜

 5/12

 跳过蜂蜜味含片，用真正的东西治疗咳嗽。 蜂蜜可以减轻炎症、缓解疼痛并杀死细菌。 它还富含对抗病毒感染的抗体。 它富含烟酸和维生素 C 等维生素，以及钙和铁等矿物质，可补充健康的能量。 将 2 汤匙添加到温水或茶中，作为天然止咳药，具有很大的好处。

 泡菜

 6/12

 这道传统的韩国菜可以消除胀气和腹胀。 它是由纳帕卷心菜和萝卜等蔬菜混合而成的辛辣混合物，经过发酵或用天然有益细菌保存。 当您食用它时，它会在您的肠道中充满有益细菌（也称为益生菌），并清除可能导致腹部不适的有害细菌。 某些酸菜和泡菜具有相同的效果：寻找标签上的“自然发酵”字样。

 辣根

 7/12

 这种芥末、洋葱和大蒜的表亲一点也不微妙。 当你磨碎辣根时，它会压碎根部的细胞。 这会释放出油，带来其标志性的热量。 即使是很小的一点点也会让你流泪、流鼻涕。 如果您有鼻窦或鼻腔问题，这是个好消息：如果粘液在您的系统中停留时间过长，辣根可以清除吸引细菌的粘液。 寿司附带的绿色芥末堆也是如此。

 ☕️

 咖啡

 8/12

 当您头痛时，为大脑供血的血管会变得紧张，然后扩大并压迫您的神经。 这就是导致你头部悸动的原因。 咖啡、红茶和巧克力中的咖啡因会导致血管收缩。 不要将此视为允许你一杯接一杯地喝下去：摄入过多咖啡因后，你也可能会出现戒断性头痛。

 羽衣甘蓝

 9/12

 小擦伤？ 刀砍？ 开始用羽衣甘蓝或其他深色绿叶蔬菜（如菠菜、西兰花、羽衣甘蓝和萝卜叶菜）来治愈自己。 它们含有大量必需营养素维生素 K，可帮助您的血细胞聚集和凝结。 这不仅可以阻止您失血更多，而且还能防止您失血过多。 它还可以保护您的伤口。 K 还可以帮助您的身体构建健康的骨组织。

 🫚🫚

 姜

 10/12

 无论您喜欢还是讨厌生姜的辛辣味，它都对您的胃有好处。 生姜植物的根部含有一种叫做姜辣素的化合物。 它们会阻断消化道中引起恶心的受体。 用它来治疗孕吐、晕车以及手术后或化疗相关的胃部问题。 生姜有多种形式，包括蜜饯生姜、干生姜、新鲜生姜、腌制生姜、粉末生姜和磨碎生姜。

 草药🍵

 花草茶

 11/12

 用一杯温热的花草茶缓解喉咙痛。 如果你的喉咙痛，薄荷茶具有天然的麻木功效。 丁香和绿茶可以对抗细菌。 覆盆子味茶可以减轻炎症。 洋甘菊会润滑你的喉咙：如果你声音嘶哑，就喝它。 无论您选择什么，请确保不含咖啡因，以便您能够休息和睡眠。

 🍎

 苹果

 12/12

 你知道他们如何评价苹果——并且有充分的理由。 苹果含有大量果胶，一种存在于细胞壁中的可溶性纤维。 如果你便秘，它会让你的肠子蠕动。 如果您患有腹泻，它可以减少炎症并帮助加强肠道蠕动。 为了获得最多的纤维，请保留皮肤。 其他天然高纤维食物包括覆盆子、煮熟的朝鲜蓟和球芽甘蓝。

10 of the Best Foods to Help You Heal.

Medically reviewed many foods, including fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, and protein sources, have been shown to reduce inflammation, improve immune function, promote healing, and provide the fuel necessary for you to get on the mend.

Whether you’re recovering from an illness or surgery, the foods and beverages you consume can either help or hinder your recovery.

Here are 10 healing foods that can help your body recover.

1. Leafy green vegetables

Leafy green vegetables like kale, spinach, arugula, mustard greens, and Swiss chard are packed with nutrients that decrease inflammation, enhance immune function, and improve wound healing, making them the perfect choice to promote recovery.

Leafy greens are high in vitamin C, manganese, magnesium, folate, and provitamin A, all of which are essential for immune function and overall health.

💪 🦵 🧠 🫁  ✋️ 👐 👃 👂 👀 💅 ❤️ 👅 😛 

They’re also rich in polyphenol antioxidants that have powerful anti-inflammatory and immune-supportive properties.

In fact, research shows that certain polyphenols, including the antioxidant quercetin, that are concentrated in green leafy veggies, may help suppress the production of inflammatory proteins like TNF-alpha.

What’s more, vitamin C is essential for wound healing, making leafy greens a good choice when recuperating after surgery.

2. Eggs

Following surgery, your body needs significantly more protein than the current Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of 0.36 grams per pound (0.8 grams per kg) of body weight.

The American Society for Enhanced Recovery recommends 0.7–0.9 grams of protein per pound (1.5–2 grams per kg) of body weight after surgery. That equals 105–135 grams for a 150-pound (68-kg) person.

Eggs are not only an excellent source of highly absorbable protein, providing 6 grams per large egg (50 grams), but also nutrients that support immune health and wound healing.

Whole eggs 🥚 🪺 contain vitamins A and B12, as well as zinc, iron, and selenium, all of which play vital immune roles.

3. Salmon 🐟 🐠 🎣 🐡 🍥 

Salmon is packed with protein, B vitamins, selenium, iron, zinc, and omega-3 fats.

What’s more, studies show that its omega-3 fats may promote wound healing, enhance immune response, and reduce inflammation when taken in supplement form.

Plus, just 3 ounces (85 grams) of wild-caught salmon delivers over 70% of your daily needs for selenium, a mineral that regulates inflammation and immune response.

Although eating salmon is likely safe, you should talk to your healthcare provider before taking fish oil supplements before or after surgery. Recent research indicates that these supplements don’t increase bleeding risk, but some surgeons advise against fish oil anyway.

4. Berries : blue 💙  strawberry 🍓  cranberry raspberry 

Berries are brimming with nutrients and plant compounds that can help support your body’s recovery.

For instance, berries provide ample vitamin C, which promotes wound healing by stimulating the production of collagen — the most abundant protein in your body.

They also pack antioxidants like anthocyanins, which are plant pigments that give berries their vibrant color, in addition to providing anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and immune-supporting effects.

5. Nuts and seeds 

Nuts and seeds like almonds, pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and hemp seeds are a great choice for fueling your body during the recovery process. These foods provide plant-based protein, healthy fats, and vitamins and minerals that support healing.

For example, nuts and seeds are a good source of zinc, vitamin E, manganese, and magnesium. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant in your body, protecting against cellular damage. It’s also critical for immune health.

Some studies note that healthy vitamin E levels may improve the function of protective immune cells, such as natural killer cells (NK cells), which help fight infection and disease .

6. Poultry 🍗 🐔  🐓 🍗 

Specific amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein, play important roles in wound healing and immune function.

Poultry, including chicken 🐔 and turkey , pack glutamine and arginine, two amino acids that may aid recovery and healing.

Glutamine provides cellular protection during times of stress, such as illness and injury, while arginine assists collagen production and wound healing.

What’s more, arginine is rapidly depleted during times of stress, injury, and illness, making adequate intake of this amino acid all the more important.

7. Organ meats 🍖 livers 🫁 kidney heart :

Organ meats are some of the most nutritious foods you can eat. They boast many immune-supportive nutrients, including vitamin A, iron, zinc, B vitamins, and copper, which is needed for the production of connective tissue and collagen.

Vitamin A, which is essential for proper immune cell response, helps inhibit inflammatory cells and is critical for skin health and wound healing.

Additionally, organ meats are an excellent source of protein, which is necessary for recovery after surgery and illness.

8. Cruciferous vegetables : 

Cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and kale are well known for their impressive health benefits. They may support recovery thanks to their wide variety of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Cruciferous veggies contain glucosinolates, which are compounds that your body converts into isothiocyanates. Isothiocyanates have been shown to promote immune health by suppressing inflammation, activating immune defenses, and inducing death in infected cells.

Plus, these veggies pack an array of nutrients that your body craves during recovery, such as vitamin C and B vitamins.

9. Shellfish :

Shellfish like oysters  , mussels , and clams  are loaded with nutrients — especially zinc — that may promote recovery.

Zinc is crucial for healthy immune function. This mineral may also help speed recovery and promote wound healing, making shellfish great for recuperating from surgery.

Just 6 medium oysters (59 grams) provides over 300% of the Daily Value (DV) for zinc.

10. Sweet potatoes :

Eating healthy high carb foods, such as sweet potatoes, is important for recovery. Carbs not only provide the energy your cells require for healing but also enzymes like hexokinase and citrate synthase, which aid wound repair.

In fact, inadequate carb intake may impair wound healing and delay recovery.

Sweet potatoes are nutritious carb sources that are packed with anti-inflammatory plant compounds, vitamins, and minerals — including vitamin C, carotenoids, and manganese — that may optimize immune response and help your body recover.

Other ways to help your body heal :

In addition to following a healthy diet full of nutrient-dense foods, other lifestyle modifications may support healing.

Rest is essential when recovering from an illness, injury, or surgery. Plus, getting enough sleep bolsters your body’s repair process.

In fact, lack of 😴 sleep may harm immune function and delay recovery.

Hydration is also important for every aspect of healing and recovery, especially proper wound care. Plus, illnesses that involve fever and diarrhea may increase your hydration 💧 🚿 🚰  💦 needs.

Additionally, you should steer clear of cigarettes and alcohol when recuperating from illness or injury. Smoking 🚬  cigarettes and drinking 🍸 alcohol can delay recovery, impair wound healing, and suppress your immune system .

Deficiencies in zinc and vitamins B12 and A may likewise hamper recovery. Talk to your healthcare provider if you’re concerned about nutrient deficiencies .

The bottom line

When recovering from illness or surgery, you should fuel your body with foods that are high in nutrients and compounds that promote healing.

Salmon, nuts, cruciferous veggies, and several other foods may help optimize recovery.

Getting plenty of rest 😴 , staying hydrated 💧 , and avoiding smoking 🚬 cigarettes ,  drinking alcohol 🍸 promote optimal healing.

NUTRITION

10 Foods to Eat During Chemotherapy

Eating a nutritious, balanced diet while on chemotherapy can help support your treatment and overall health. Mild foods that are easy on the stomach, such as oatmeal and eggs, may be good options.

Chemotherapy is a common cancer treatment that uses one or more drugs to combat cancer cells in your body.

Its symptoms, which may include dry mouth, taste changes, nausea, and fatigue, can make eating seem like a chore.

However, it’s important to eat a healthy, balanced diet during cancer treatment to keep your body functioning optimally. Foods that are mild in flavor, easy on your stomach, and nutrient-dense are some of the best options.

Here are 10 foods to eat during chemotherapy.

1. Oatmeal 

Oatmeal provides numerous nutrients that can help your body during chemo.

It boasts ample amounts of carbs, protein, and antioxidants, as well as more healthy fats than most grains. It also helps regulate your bowels because of its beta glucan, a type of soluble fiber that feeds the good bacteria in your gut.

Oatmeal’s neutral flavor and creamy texture are especially advantageous if you’re experiencing common chemo side effects like dry mouth or mouth sores.

What’s more, you can take overnight oats to your chemo appointments. To make this dish, simply soak oats in a milk of your choice and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, you can top it with berries, honey, or nuts.

If you’re taking oatmeal on the go, eat it within 2 hours to avoid foodborne illnesses — though you can minimize this risk by keeping it in a cooler (4).

Fruit, maple syrup, and nuts are common add-ins, though you can also make savory oatmeal with avocado or eggs. Eat it plain or with a dash of salt if you’re experiencing nausea or mouth sores.

SUMMARY

Oatmeal provides numerous nutrients and is palatable if you’re experiencing chemo symptoms like dry mouth, mouth sores, and nausea. Its fiber can also help keep your bowel movements regular.

2. Avocado 🥑 🥑 

If your appetite is lacking, avocados can pack necessary calories and nutrients into your diet.

This creamy, green fruit is particularly high in healthy monounsaturated fat, which can help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol while raising HDL (good) cholesterol. It’s also loaded with fiber, with 3.5 ounces (100 grams) packing 27% of the Daily Value (DV).

Its fiber bulks up your stool and feeds the friendly bacteria in your gut .

Because they’re filling, versatile, and mild, avocados are a great option if you’re experiencing dry mouth, constipation, mouth sores, or weight loss.

You can smash and spread them on toast or slice them to top a bowl of grains, beans, or soup.

Just be sure to wash unpeeled avocados before you slice them, as their skin can harbor Listeria, a common bacterium that can cause food poisoning.

SUMMARY

Avocados are a nutritional powerhouse. With plenty of fat and fiber, they can keep you full and provide needed calories when your appetite is low.

3. Eggs 🥚 🪺 🥓 🍳  

Fatigue is a common side effect of chemotherapy.

Eggs may fight tiredness due to their generous supply of protein and fats — nearly 6 grams of protein and 4 grams of fat in a single medium-sized egg (44 grams).

While fat provides your body with energy, protein helps maintain and build muscle mass, which is especially important during chemotherapy.

You can hard-boil eggs for a portable snack or scramble them for a scrumptious meal. Make sure that they’re thoroughly cooked, with thickened yolks and hardened whites, to prevent food poisoning.

Their soft, soothing texture makes eggs ideal if you’re experiencing mouth sores.

SUMMARY

Eggs may ease fatigue due to their combination of protein and fats. Additionally, they’re easy to eat if you have mouth sores.

4. Broth

Taste changes are normal during chemotherapy — and water is commonly said to taste different.

In these instances, broth is a great alternative to keep you hydrated. It’s made by simmering water with vegetables, herbs, and — if desired — meat or poultry, plus bones.

During this process, electrolytes are released into the fluid. These charged particles, which include nutrients like sodium, potassium, chloride, and calcium, help keep your body functioning properly.

Sipping on broth can be helpful if you’re losing electrolytes through vomit, sweat, or diarrhea.

If you have the appetite for it, you can add chicken, tofu, or veggies into your broth. Puréeing this mixture will help it go down easier if you have mouth sores.

For added nutrients, especially when you’re experiencing dry mouth or low appetite, you can heap in a spoonful of flavorless protein powder, such as collagen powder.

However, keep your broth clear and simple if you’re experiencing nausea or vomiting — and sip slowly. Broth is great in these instances, as its lack of fiber makes it easier to digest.

SUMMARY

Clear broth helps you stay hydrated and replenished, especially if water starts tasting differently during your chemo. You can add veggies or protein if you’re feeling able to handle solid food.

5. Almonds and other nuts

During chemotherapy, you may find yourself in and out of a lot of appointments — so snacks can come in handy.

Not only are nuts like almonds and cashews easy to take on the go, but they also boast ample amounts of protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals.

Almonds are a rich source of manganese and copper, providing 27% and 32% of the DV, respectively, per 1 ounce (28 grams).

These minerals form superoxide dismutases, some of the most powerful antioxidants in the body. Antioxidants help fight free radicals that damage your cells.

You can also add nuts to oatmeal or other dishes.

However, they may not be easy to eat if you’re experiencing mouth sores. In these instances, choose nut butters instead.

SUMMARY

Almonds boast an impressive number of nutrients, including manganese and copper, and serve as an ideal snack.

6. Pumpkin seeds

Like nuts, pumpkin seeds are great for snacking on between your appointments.

They’re rich in fats, protein, and antioxidants like vitamin E, which can help fight inflammation.

What’s more, they deliver nearly 3 grams of iron per 1/3 cup (33 grams), or about 15% of the DV.

However, some treatments, such as blood transfusions, may increase your risk of iron overload, or excess iron in your body. If you develop this condition, you’ll want to watch your intake of pumpkin seeds and other high-iron foods.

For a sweet-and-salty twist, make your own trail mix by combining pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and other dried fruits, seeds, and nuts.

SUMMARY

Pumpkin seeds are great on-the-go snacks and are especially rich in healthy fats and iron. Yet, if you have iron overload, you may want to limit your intake.

7. Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables

Cruciferous vegetables, including kale, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage, boast an impressive nutritional profile.

In particular, broccoli offers a significant amount of vitamin C. This vitamin is vital for your immune system.

What’s more, it contains sulforaphane, a plant compound thought to improve brain health.

Research has shown that sulforaphane can positively impact brain health by reducing inflammation and protecting cells from damage, which is especially important when undergoing chemotherapy.

Steam or roast these veggies with olive oil and a dash of salt. If you’re experiencing taste changes, try a squeeze of lemon as long as you don’t have mouth sores or nausea.

SUMMARY

Broccoli and other cruciferous veggies are high in nutrients your body needs. In particular, broccoli contains sulforaphane, a plant compound that may help protect brain health.

8. Homemade smoothies

Homemade smoothies are a great option if you’re having a hard time chewing solid food or getting enough nutrients in your diet.

They’re highly customizable, allowing you to choose the best ingredients for your symptoms or taste changes.

Here’s a basic smoothie formula:

•1–2 cups (240–475 ml) of liquid

•1.5–3 cups (225–450 grams) of veggies and/or fruit

•1 tablespoon (15 grams) of protein

•1 tablespoon (15 grams) of fat

For instance, combine fresh or frozen fruit with milk or kefir, then toss in a handful or two of washed spinach leaves. Dump in a spoonful of flax seeds for fat and peanut butter for protein.

If you’re using fresh berries, be sure to soak them before rinsing thoroughly in running water. This will help remove any debris or bacteria that could make you sick.

You can also squeeze in a bit of lemon or lime to brighten up the flavors.

SUMMARY

Smoothies are a great option for times when eating is difficult. Plus, they’re an ideal way to add fruit and veggies to your diet.

9. Bread or crackers

If you’re experiencing diarrhea or nausea, white bread or crackers are a good choice because they’re typically easy to digest. Whole-grain versions, which supply added nutrients, are ideal for when your stomach is not upset.

Salted crackers or saltines are especially useful to replenish sodium lost through diarrhea or vomiting.

Eat them plain or top with nut butter, smashed avocado, or ricotta cheese if you desire more flavor and nutrients.

SUMMARY

White bread and crackers can be helpful if diarrhea or nausea set in. Saltines can help restore sodium lost to diarrhea or vomiting.

10. Fish

If you enjoy seafood, it’s a good idea to eat two servings of fish per week when you’re in chemotherapy. That’s because it provides protein and omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega-3s are important fats that you must get through your diet. They support brain health and boast anti-inflammatory properties. Plus, eating plenty of protein and healthy fat-rich foods like fish can help you avoid unhealthy weight loss during treatment.

Salmon, mackerel, albacore tuna, and sardines are particularly high in these fats.

What’s more fattier fish like salmon and herring are a rich source of vitamin D, which is necessary for proper bone and immune health. In fact, a small salmon filet (170 grams) provides 113% of the DV.

Steam, pan-fry, or roast your fish with a squeeze of lemon. Use a meat thermometer to be sure it reaches an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C) — or 165°F (74°C) if you’re reheating it.

SUMMARY

Fish can be a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D. Plus, eating protein and fat-rich foods like fish high in omega-3s can help prevent unwanted weight loss, and vitamin D is important for immunity. Aim to eat two servings per week.

The bottom line

Chemotherapy can trigger a host of side effects, including dry mouth, taste changes, fatigue, mouth sores, and nausea. These can make eating difficult or unappealing.

Knowing what foods to eat, such as bland foods for mouth sores and wet or creamy textures for dry mouth, may help nourish your body while navigating cancer treatment.

It’s advantageous to pack nutritious, travel-friendly foods to your appointments. Practicing food safety is also important to lower your risk of food poisoning. 

10 种帮助您康复的最佳食物。
