GUT INSTINCT

Did you know that taking 500 mg of Bromelain 30 minutes before a meal prevents post-meal bloating?

Too late? chew some fresh parsley or pop a parsley or parsley/gingercapsule.

Bean for the Breast

If you want to avoid breast cancer or want to avoid a recurrence, soy's your bean. According to the Shanghai Breast Cancer Survival Study which followed over 5,000 cancer survivors for 4 years, women who added 2 servings of soy to their meals were 30% less likely to succumb to the big C again.  Fermented and cultured soy products like miso, tofu and  tempeh are more beneficial than processed soy-based meat substitutes. Read  more about soy (and try the recipes) in my book SUPER IMMUNITY FOODS.
