5 Foods to Cut Your Cancer Must have in Your Kitchen

Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to live the rest of your life in pain or on medication.You can reverse disease, reduce high blood pressure, lose unwanted weight, lower your cholesterol levels, prevent heart disease and cancer, and improve your health all without relying on drugs and fad diets.  Just choose the right foods for your body , mainly plants  based food.

Nutritional Yeast

The YeastYeast are unicellular fungi . It’s  has been used  by naturalists as a way to detox the body of overstocks of yeast that can come from certain medications, processed foods or from exposure to others with yeast overgrowth.This is a great item to have in your kitchen and is your healthiest bet for a super cheese substitute that isn’t loaded with saturated fat, cholesterol and unhealthy animal protein. A great source of B12 with zero fat and cholesterol, nutritional yeast packs a protein punch that is 51%. An added bonus: it is loaded with dietary fiber, which may help reduce the risk of colon cancer. Because of its cheesy flavor, I use it as a pizza topping, on lasagna, salads, steamed broccoli, cauliflower and even popcorn.

Freeze-dried Strawberries

Dried Strawberries


Ohio State University released a study showing that freeze-dried strawberries may actually prevent esophageal cancer. Freeze-dried are even better than regular strawberries because they pack 10-times the antioxidants. Who knew? Look for no-sugar added options at health stores.

Rhubarb

The Rhubarb

A recent study from Sheffield, England shows that rhubarb cooked for 20 minutes dramatically increases its levels of polyphenols, which are known cancer-fighting chemicals. Interestingly enough, rhubarb is not a fruit but a vegetable; the greens are actually poisonous, so stick with the stem!

Escarole

The EscaroleVegetables like kale, collards, bok choy and spinach,  all of these are loaded with all of the good and none of the bad, ranking highest for nutritional density, and should be a mainstay in your daily diet. While you’re exploring adding more greens to your diet, check out escarole. These leafy greens are teeming with everything that will help you to fight cancer and make you healthy: water, fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals all come to the rescue to take your health to the next level. Escarole is great to use in your salad and has actually been shown to help prevent ovarian cancer.

Vegetarian Diets for Pregnancy

Pregnancy means eating for two. But it helps to remember that one of you is very small. So while you will need more nutrition, your overall diet will not be dramatically different from your normal eating pattern.
Calorie needs increase only modestly during pregnancy. In the first trimester, no additional calories are needed at all. However, an extra 340 calories are needed per day in the second trimester, and an additional 452 calories are needed per day in the third trimester.  All pregnant women need to choose their meals wisely. It is important to eat foods that are rich in nutrients, but not high in fat or sugar, or excessive in calories.

Cow’s Milk Help Bones ?


Dairy products are often cited by the dairy industry as being good sources of calcium simply because they contain calcium and are “readily available.” But there is more to the story than that. Concerned parents want more from a calcium-rich food than availability in the supermarket. They also want to know whether giving the recommended two to three servings of milk or other dairy products will actually help their children grow strong bones and whether these foods are likely to promote the long-term health of their children.

Energetic Properties of Food


Scientists continue to study the effects of food on the body, and are often making new findings about the benefits of eating whole foods, all the time. Ancient Eastern healing practices like traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda (from India) observed the effects certain foods had on the body and drew conclusions about what people should eat. Some people feel that you need to choose one approach or the other (i.e.Western or Eastern medicine), but, in my opinion, it’s beneficial to be aware of all approaches. As Annemarie Colbin explains in Food and Healing, foods have energetic properties that are arranged into four categories to make up what she calls the “Table of Opposites.” Most healthful diets around the world balance all four (foods related to these properties are listed later in this section):
Warming/Cooling: food’s  temperature-related energy provided for body functioning.
Expansive/Contractive: food which createsa “high” or “light” feeling; or sense of being grounded.
Acidifying/Alkalinizing: food’s effect on thebody’s  pH level.
Build-up/Break-down: food that helps to build muscle and bone; or cleanse and detoxify.

This way of looking at foods is based on the idea that our bodies do best when they are balanced. Some situations or things that we do naturally lead to imbalances, like strenuous exercise on a hot summer day, giving a speech in front of a huge audience, going on a long road trip, or getting wasted on a Fridaynight. If we understand what is happeningin our body at these times, we can use food to help return us to a more balanced state. If your body is too warm or too cold, cooling or warming foods will help (i.e. eat warming foodin winter, cooling food in summer). If you feel weakened, building foods are required. If you have ingested too many toxins or wastes (i.e.junk food), foods that will help break them down and eliminate them from the body are needed. If you feel too jittery or scattered, contractive foods can help;  too sluggish, try expansive foods. Too many acid-forming sweets consumed, you can balance your self with fruits and vegetables which metabolize with an alkalinizing effect. Our bodies seem to have an innate knowledge of how to balance themselves, but many of us have lost touch with it; I hope this section will help you get back in touch. And while some of us might do this intuitively, it is a skill to create a better balance in our daily diets.
We need to learn to build satisfying meals and understand how to nourish our bodies appropriately for various conditions and in various seasons. Discussions of “energy” can sound kind of kooky to some. The concept of energetic properties can’t  always be substantiated in a “scientific proof” kind of way, but sometimes you’ve  got to be willing to just go with it, use your inner wisdom, and see if you can draw any parallels to what exists in nature, but when I say you should “eat with the seasons,” I’m  asking you to include the produce in your diet that naturally grows in your climate at the particular time of year; stone fruits and melons are amazing in the summer and keep you feeling cool, but come falland winter, squash, onions, potatoes, and sweet potatoes can make you feel warm and grounded (it’s not surprising that these foods can be stored best over the winter months– nature designed them that way).
Tip Eating Fruit
Eating fruit is very beneficial. The fiber found in fruit helps regulate digestion, and fruits’ vitamins and antioxidants boost our immune system. In red fruits, the phytonutrients act as powerful antioxidants that promote good health and slow the effects of aging. As an encouragement and reminder, keep a bowl of fruit on your desk at work. Set a goal of trying one new fruit every week.

Feeding Vegan Kids

Many members of The Vegetarian Resource Group are glowing testimony to the fact that vegan children can be healthy, grow normally, be extremely active, and (we think) smarter than average. Of course it takes time and thought to feed vegan children. Shouldn't feeding of any child require time and thought? After all, the years from birth to adolescence are the years when eating habits are set, when growth rate is high, and to a large extent, when the size of stores of essential nutrients such as calcium and iron are determined.
The earliest food for a vegan baby is ideally breast milk. Many benefits to the infant are conveyed by breast feeding including some enhancement of the immune system, protection against infection, and reduced risk of allergies. In addition, breast milk was designed for baby humans and quite probably contains substances needed by growing infants which are not even known to be essential and are not included in infant formulas.

Vegans Rising



Maybe you've seen their products in supermarkets. Boca Burgers paving the way for Smart Links, rice bread showing up an aisle away from Soy Dream. And suddenly more and more you're meeting people who refuse eggs and cheese along with meat. You may have seen one carefully scrutinizing food labels. They are legion, and they have a name: The Vegans. And although you've probably only noticed them relatively recently, they've been around for over half a century.
