BELINDA Emmett has credited her success in battling cancer to eating healthy and organic food.Emmett, fiancee of TV host Rove McManus, said she hadn't looked back after switching to a natural diet several years ago. "I've found that over the last few years, I've improved leaps and bounds," she said.
The 30-year-old former Home and Away star was successfully treated for malignant breast cancer in 1999. But she received heartbreaking news two years later when a routine check-up revealed she had secondary bone cancer.
She has since endured another four months of chemotherapy, combining the treatment with a strict diet, exercise and meditation. Emmett, patron of charity group Australian Healthy Mission, urged people to rethink their eating habits for the sake of their health. Her comments coincide with World Food Day, observed in about 150 countries today
