Researchers are now saying that the latest/new cancer prevention guidelines emphasize maintaining a healthy weight throughout life as the best thing you can do to reduce your risk of cancer.
- Engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity on 5 or more days per week.
- Follow a healthy diet, with an emphasis on plant-based foods.
- Eat five or more servings of a variety of vegetables and fruits each day.
- Choose whole grains over processed or refined grains.
- Limit consumption of processed and red meats.
- Limit alcohol intake.
In addition, the new guidelines call on communities to take a more active role in encouraging healthy behaviours, by increasing access to healthful foods in schools and workplaces as well as providing safe and enjoyable sidewalks and recreational facilities.
Kitchen Gems;
- if you don't put the lid on when steaming green veggies they stay greener
- when cooking cabbage add a bay leaf, this will reduce the smell during cooking and also give a subtle flavour
- if you need to keep peeled potatoes, put them in water and then place a slice of bread over the top - this stops them from going brown
- add Worcester Sauce to baked beans for extra zing
Today I am grateful for;
- feeling energetic and healthy
- happiness
- another glorious day in our beautiful city
- my weekend plans
- yoga followed by early morning swim
- being truly blessed

Yummy Breakfast - Oats with a difference
- 1 cup oats
- 2 cups water
- salt
what to do;
- simmer slowly for 15 minutes (do not use quick-cook oats)
- top with goji berries, raisins and cinnamon
- if you like it sweet drizzle with honey
- I also sprinkle organic Hemp Protein Protein Powder over my oats, gives it a yummy nutty flavour
why are oats healthy;
- the complex carbs in oats allow for a slower release of blood sugars and oats are safe for those who are gluten intolerant
Today, 'plunge' into the weekend as if it were your last - eat, play, laugh, spend times with loved ones and explore .......
Peace 'n whirlpools of luv
