Veteran Oncology Nurse Creates Solution To The Cancer-Nutrition Challenge

 Sable’s Foods Donates a Bite of Each

Nutritional Empowerment Bar to CancerClimber Association

ALABAMA, April 2010 – Former oncology nurse Alicia “Sable” Sable-Hunt, RN has committed her experience and empathy for patients to solving cancer’s nutritional challenge. Discontent with patients’ lack of flavorful yet nutritionally balanced options, Sable stepped into her kitchen and baked up a solution. Sable’s Foods Nutritional Empowerment^® Bars are the only food product formulated to address the three most common food-related challenges of cancer patients – nutrition, taste and texture.

“My experience in caring for cancer patients and in collaboration with other members of the oncology treatment team provided insight on the challenges that patients face in maintaining adequate nutrition during treatment and recovery,” said Alicia “Sable” Sable-Hunt, RN. “I’m thrilled to offer a solution to help support patients along their cancer journey.”  

The nutritional challenges facing patients undergoing cancer treatment cannot be underestimated. Research shows however, that a balanced diet can make a tremendous difference to a patient’s quality of life. According to the National Cancer Institute, eating the right kinds of foods before, during, and after treatment can help the patient feel better and stay stronger. In addition, good eating habits during cancer care help the patient cope with the effects of the cancer and its treatment.

Unlike most nutrition bars, Sable’s Foods Nutritional Empowerment^® Bars are baked like a brownie for a homemade taste that’s bursting with flavor and offer a nutritional value enjoyed by the cancer community as well as other medically disadvantaged populations, athletes, teenagers, and busy moms and dads. Nutritional Empowerment^® Bar’s fresh berry, tropical ingredients have been specifically formulated to provide an enjoyable and recognizable flavor experience. They provide a delicious way to receive the natural nourishment your body needs. The bars are packed with a custom blend of vitamins and minerals and contain no artificial preservatives.

Sable and her team are constantly at work creating new products and flavor combinations. Sable’s Foods are available online at http://www.SablesFoods.com/ and at area cancer centers for $2.75 per bar.

A bite of every Nutritional Empowerment^® Bar is donated to cancer programs. A portion of the profits from product sales are donated to non-profit organizations actively pursuing solutions to cancer care issues, including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and symptom management. As part of Sable’s Foods commitment to the cause, the company is donating 25% of each bar purchased in April to Sean Swarner’s CancerClimber Association. Sean Swarner, two-time terminal cancer survivor and elite mountaineer founded CancerClimber in 2001 to help those touched by cancer by focusing on living an active, healthy lifestyle.
