I wasn't sure if I should share it or not.
After a discussion this morning about cancer and Shakeology I have decided, it was time.
This man is my grandfather.
He has many medical issues, including cancer throughout his entire body.
He can not eat solid food, only pureed.
Last month he came very close to passing away.
It was very scary to think I hadn't seen him. On a last minute (literally last hour) trip, I hopped a train to NJ to see him.
During that trip I learned that my Mom had shared her Vegan Shakeology with him.
It's been a few months now. But, when he was in Hospice, he couldn't eat. He was literally nutritionally
starving. My Mom was there to see him just about everyday. She had her Shakeo with her and decide
to give him some. The Tropical Vegan actually and he loved it. She's sat with friends in hospice and
has seen them basically starving. When your already very ill, and then you aren't getting nutrients you
get even weaker. Obviously the dietician checked everything in relation to his medications etc etc and it
was approved for him. Which I'm not surprised about. There's nothing bad in it!
I'm not going to tell you that Shakeology is curing his cancer, that he will live longer because he's drinking it.
I don't know either of those things.
But what I will tell you is that he LOVES it. That he prefers it to the bland puree they have to feed him.
That the nutrition it supplies him gives him more energy.
He can drink this himself with a straw. He doesn't need to be fed.
His dietician/nutritionist approved the use of Shakeology once a day.
Why? OH, because there is more nutrition in that one scoop of Shakeology then there is in all of the bland, over boiled, pureed scoops of food they can feed him in a day.
He is NOT the only person I know PERSONALLY who drinks Shakeology for nutritional supplementation during cancer and even during cancer treatments (Chemo).
There is a reason people look to it.
Stop running from your health. Unelss you are going to eat more fruits and veggies in a day than you could possibly consume, then you aren't getting all of the nutrition Shakeology can give you.
I'm proud of my Grandfather.
But, I'm even more proud of my mother who shared this with him.
She knows the nutrition it brought to her, to me and to my own family.
