The year before I was told I had CLL I was told I was type 2 diabetic. In the past I only ate 2 meals per day. Now I eat three good healthy meals per day. I also take vitamins A,B,C,D, and supplements for improved health. I had read last month that healthy eating and exercise can help peoples health who have leukemia. I just discovered sweet potato fries which have less sugar then regular fries? My wife is very smart with nutrition and healthy meals. I think eating healthy meals and exercising can help people with both their physical and mental health.
