Another Reason for Mindful Eating......

Don't just chow down that veggie burger! The more authentically you savor it (or anything else you eat) the more nutrients you absorb, especially critical minerals such as iron, say new studies.

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.

More Curry, Less Cancer

Best anti-cancer supplement for your kitchen arsenal?  Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, the spice that makes curry powder yellow.  Take between 400mg and 5,000 mg daily. Even more protective coupled with vitamin C.

Red Prozac?

Serve up some borscht when you're down.  Our favorite carmine colored veggie contains a substance called uridine that studies indicate may be as effective as prescription antidepressants. Use in combination with Omega-3's for best results. See my book SUPER IMMUNITY FOODS for more about beets and other amazing vegetable benefits.

Egg Hunt

Did you know the only label that assures you that the eggs you're buying come from hens raised outdoors is American Welfare Approved? Look for it and avoid factory farmed cruelty free eggs!
