As part of the ongoing program of talks and activities aimed at cancer patients at the Hospital Metropolitano de Santiago (HOMS), the talk “Introduction to the alkaline lifestyle for a healthy life”, an event organized by the volunteers of the HOMS Foundation, was held on Tuesday, March 20.

After welcoming remarks by the executive director of the HOMS Foundation, Osiris García, the activity formally began with a presentation by Dr. Saribelkis Castillo, a gynecologist and expert in the field of Molecular Nutrition.

With this talk, Dr. Castillo called on those present to become aware of the use of industrialized ingredients that are consumed daily and in large quantities, such as refined flours and sugar, in addition to other ingredients in our daily diet that cause our body to create an acidic environment, when the ideal is to live with an alkaline pH, which prevents the creation of cancer cells.

The activity took place at the reception of the Cancer Center building of the same hospital. The event was attended by patients, members of the volunteer corps, hospital employees and the general public, who rated the activity and Dr. Castillo’s presentation as excellent.
