Soya & Phytoestrogens

Phytoestrogens are plant compounds that have weak oestrogenic effects in the body and can have a number of benefits on health and well being. The richest source of these is in soya products but this is a food many people are not so familiar with.

We have put this book together to explain the health benefits of soya products and how to include them in your menu. It’s full of information and practical advice along with a selection of simple, nutritious recipes and links to great resources.

​This book answers the big questions… What are phytoestrogens? Are they healthy and safe? And, maybe the biggest question of all, how do you cook tofu?

Making life a little easier living with cancer

Many cancer patients have no specific dietary needs and are advised to eat a healthy, balanced diet but cancer treatment can make that simple advice hard. Appetite and taste preferences can change and some days, particularly soon after treatment, fatigue and feeling unwell can make eating a challenge.  ​

We wanted to help make things a bit easier for individuals going through cancer and support their families . This booklet contains some useful dietary tips and a selection of nutritious dinners, mini-meals, snacks and drinks to help make eating well easier in spite of the challenges cancer throws their way. ​
