FOOD for THOUGHT
Salmon is a fabulous source of the mineral phosphorus. You need phosphorus to build strong bones and help your muscles function properly when they relax and contract. If you crush up and eat the bones in canned salmon, you'll get some extra calcium, too.

"I don't eat many meals while I'm on chemo. I usually graze all day long, so a few crackers with salmon spread and two of the Snappy Stuffed Tomatoes (in this Chapter) would make a great snack or mini-meal for me." -Anne R.
