We know that what we eat is directly related to our health... Duh. Of course, with all of this knowledge at our fingertips, it surprises me that people still continue to consume meat, dairy, and sugary crap on a daily basis. In fact, it boggles my mind that so many people eat all of this in more than one meal throughout each day! Yet as a whole, our country continues to become more obese and cancer-ridden every day. Sigh.
I recently read in Sunset magazine that there is a nonprofit initiative encouraging folks to go meatless just one day out of the week. Not only does it vastly improve YOUR health, but it also benefits the health of our planet. I've included a link (http://myyearwithoutspending.blogspot.com/2010/01/meatless-monday-recipes.html) to a website where you can get more information about this creative and fun way to get healthy without giving up your favorite foods, as well as a great list of recipes to try out. Many of the recipes also include some of the best cancer-fighting "superfoods" such as broccoli (fights liver, breast, lung, prostate, skin, bladder, and stomach cancers), tomatoes (fights stomach, endometrial, prostate, and lung cancers), beans (fights breast and colon cancers), etc. For a list of 6 cancer-fighting superfoods to easily introduce to your daily diet, check out the following link: http://shine.yahoo.com/event/vitality/6-cancer-fighting-superfoods-2428408/
