notes-healthy eating fights cancers-antioxidants

Most important avoid processed foods, eat the skins of your fruit and veggies, Raw is better for you:
Be sure your diet includes a high level of antioxidiants, vitamin D, vitamin c, and omega 3

Vitamin D has been shown to protect up to 50% against Cancer. Also, keeping your diet full of fruits, veggies and whole grains can help lower risk of many cancers. Fat soluble helps to absorb calcium which builds stronger bones and teeth- and can curb the growth of cancerous cells…
Tomatoes, Broccoli sprouts good source of Sulforaphane and Brussel sprouts too,

Berries-blueberries a great sourse of antioxidants, rich colored berries have anthocyanins a great antioxidant.

Soybeans, like hummous- make your own , isoflavones which protect cells from negative estrogen

Tea Green, White are a great source antioxidants, kaempferol helps fight many cancers, four cups of tea, they say black tea is also included


Cruciferous vegetables like turnip greens, cabbage, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, kale, and many more..spinach –lutein avocados

Carrots, squash, yellow/red-peppers, sweet potatoes, pumpkin

Oranges, lemons and grapefruits

Papayas great healer before and after surgeries also for the digestive system

Red grapes- i take resveratrol synergy with grape seed opcs, grape skin extract and green tea extracts...two a day

Turmeric great in stirfry-not only is an inflammatory but is in the ginger family

Ginger helps but still unknown exactly how

Garlic minced let sit for 10 min before cooking…

Curcumin powder better known as Cumin, use in rice dishes, lentils, veggies, chicken and even other great foods.very well known to help prevent cancers

Capsaicin – chili peppers, jalapenos and others

Flax – check with doctor there is controversy when it comes to men

Fresh dried fruit is a great way to be sure you have your servings of daily antioxidants and vitamins.

stop junk mail

Almost every year I have to repeat this process. But I wanted to share the email and some addition info with you. I have remarked on a few things below. You will have to repeat with every move, every new purchase where you give your complete name, address, and phone number. Like a credit card application. Your name is put on a runway to mailings.

1. http://www.valpak.com/corporate/pages/contact.jsp or
http://www.coxtarget.com/mailsuppression/s/DisplayMailSuppressionForm remove from valpak

2.http://www.catalogchoice.org/
Welcome mr mrs this is to decline catalogs however you need the catalog to do so!!!!

3.https://www.dmachoice.org/MPS/proto1_reg.phpDMA’s Mail Preference Service
Thank you. You are now opted-out of most unsolicited mail.Primary Name: Alternate Name: Alternate Name: Alternate Name: Address: UserName: Email: DMA’s Mail Preference

ServiceImportant: You have selected to eliminate all mailings from organizations participating in the DMA Mail Preference Service.

Are you sure you want to proceed?
The average household can save $1422 dollars per year from marketing offers. By eliminating all mail offers not only will you miss out on these savings, but you’ll miss out on at least 80% of all commercial offers and discounts!And you will miss the environmental benefits of shopping at home rather than driving to the mall!

By replacing just two shopping trips to the mall each year with shopping by catalogs or direct mail, DMA estimates that Americans could:
* Reduce the amount we drive by 3.3 billion miles.
* Reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 3 billion pounds.
* Save more than $490 million on gas costs.
