My Favorite Side Dish during Thanksgiving! Mashed Cauliflower

Raise your hands if you LOVE mashed potatoes.  I am sure just like you I have been eating potatoes since my young childhood days.  What better dinner to add potatoes with then Thanksgiving?  Can’t think of any here!  Ah ok hands down.  They are just so yummy when mixed with turkey, cranberries, stuffing, and gravy.  However, if you are concerned with your waistline the receipe below will be great to  use.  It isn’t uncommon for each of us to eat a ton of bread, appetizers, dips, triple helpings of each, and most likely desserts of all kind which is detrimental to our weight and our health.

Try this Cauliflower Mash with your Thanksgiving meal and realize that healthy food can substitute for not so healthy food.  You will be amazed and will keep the new tradiditon alive for years to come.

MASHED CAULIFLOWER

Ingredients
– 1 head cauliflower, leaves removed, stem and florets chopped into similar sized pieces
– 1 cup chicken stock or broth (more for a particularly large head of cauliflower)
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 2 cloves garlic, smashed
– 1-2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves

Instructions
1. Place all ingredients in a medium sized saucepan or Dutch oven and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat to medium and cover, allowing to cook for 15-20 minutes or so, or until the cauliflower is very tender and easily mashed with a fork.**
**You may need to add more stock if everything dries up and your cauliflower is not yet cooked through. Keep an eye on things as it cooks to see if you need to add some more.
3. Once cauliflower is tender and cooked through, pour off any excess stock that remains and reserve.
4. Pour all contents into a food processor and mix. If the cauliflower seems too dry, add in some of the reserved stock.

Add in any spices, herbs, or “mix-ins” that you’d like as discussed above.

Steps to Prevent Breast Cancer

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month has passed I believe we should always strive to prevent #Breast Cancer.

A great article outlying 6 steps to prevent breast cancer clearly gives us a way to defend breast cancer happening to anyone.  Not only are the recommendations good for females but to everyone when it dives into the foods we eat / the cosmetics we use everyday / and the polluted surroundings that we live in.

Please take the time to read and pass the word.

(NaturalNews) Take matters into your own hands and ignore the preventative measures offered by the Koman Foundation types, which actually function to snare you into the toxic and lucrative cancer industry early.
Here are six ways to stay away from the mainstream cancer industry and protect yourself from breast cancer.

(1) Komen/cancer industry early detection lies

Early detection methods promoted by these “charitable” groups actually help cause breast cancer. Mammograms emit highly carcinogenic radiation. Add this to the many false mammogram positives that put women into chemo or radiation treatments unnecessarily.

According to Dr. John McDougall, by the time mammography detects cancers, “they have been growing eight to 14 years …by this time the disease has spread to the rest of the body and is unreachable by surgery or radiation.”

Fortunately, thermal imagery is safe and able to perceive tumors during their inception. After detection, more hazardous imagery may be needed for measurement purposes.

Search for thermal imagery locations here: http://thermologyonline.org/Breast/breast_thermography_clinics.htm. Other accurate lab blood tests are available as well. Look in source (1) below under the “Other options for detecting cancer” section.

(2) Dietary preventative measures

Heavy red meat and alcohol consumption increase the risk of #breast cancer. Most doctors don’t warn about consuming sugar even after cancer becomes obvious. They ignore the fact that cancer cells thrive on sugar. Synthetic artificial sweeteners cause other serious problems as well. Stevia and honey are okay.

Consume high amounts of green and cruciferous vegetables along with ample amounts of green tea. Use only organic cold pressed oils, such as olive, sunflower, or coconut oils. Avoid processed trans-fatty acid hydrolyzed oils and canola oil.

Make an effort to avoid fast foods and processed items, most of which contain GMOs. Have you seen the tumors on rats fed GMOs yet? If not, search on http://www.naturalnews.com and you will.

(3) Avoid carcinogenic pollutants

Cigarette smoke from your smoking or from others contains one of the worst carcinogenics, cadmium. So do many batteries used today. Make sure they’re kept tucked away and properly disposed when spent.

Exhaust from gas driven vehicles adds carcinogens. Avoid too much exposure by driving your car with windows shut and recycling internal air while in heavy traffic.

Natural pesticides and insecticides are also available to replace those toxic items. (http://www.naturalnews.com/037106_pesticides_exposure_herbicides.html)

(4) Topical toxins to avoid

Most commercial cosmetics contain carcinogens such as parabens and phthalates. Most underarm deodorants contain aluminum, which is toxic and carcinogenic. Shop for natural cosmetics in your local health food stores. Ditto for sun screens, which should only be used for extreme sun exposures.

Use only all natural detergents for your clothes, and seek non-perchloroethylene (non-perc) alternative technology dry cleaners. All the normally commercial stuff is carcinogenic.

Use natural insect repellent oils or sprays only. (http://www.naturalnews.com/036676_West_Nile_virus_protection.html)

(5) Recommended supplements

Maintain a high blood level of vitamin D3 (NOT D2) to inhibit cancer cell growth. You should experience a moderate amount of direct sunlight, without glass between you and the sun, or use UVB tanning beds to increase your D3 blood levels.

Independent studies indicate that vitamin D3 blood levels measured with a 25(OH)D test should be above 50ng/ml. Some suggest 60 to 80 ng/ml to protect against cancer.

The recommended daily amounts (RDA) for supplementing D3 of 600 to 800 IU are not enough. It can take 4,000 to 10,000 units or more of naturally derived D3 supplements to get your D3 blood levels where they should be.

Other helpful supplements include CoQ10 vitamin C, and other antioxidants. Supplementing with resveratrol may inhibit estrogen growth factors that could lead to cancer causing hormonal imbalances.

(6) Keep your hormones balanced

Birth control pills, BPA in plastic food containers and inner linings of cans, and synthetic hormone replacement therapies (HRT) can actually be gateways to breast cancer by upsetting your sex hormone balance. Avoid them.

Even though breast cancer awareness month is over PLEASE keep in mind these steps to help you or your loved ones prevent BREAST CANCER.

Don’t Pass up the GARLIC

5 REASONS GARLIC IS GREAT FOR YOUR HEALTH

http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-6647/5-Reasons-Garlic-is-Great-for-Your-Health.html

By Dr. Colleen Amann

Sometimes called “Nectar of the Gods,” garlic tastes great and is great for you, too. Used to treat everything from high blood pressure to the common cold, garlic does so much more than add flavor to your food.

Here are my top 5 reasons to love garlic:

1. It lowers cholesterol.

Garlic inhibits the same enzyme that statins do, without all the side effects.

It’s also an antioxidant and helps reduce atherosclerosis by preventing oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or the “bad” form of cholesterol.

2. It protects again cancer. 

Garlic is especially good at warding off stomach and colorectal cancers, which affect approximately 164,000 Americans each year and are among the top ten causes of cancer deaths.

In people with pre-cancerous growths known as adenomas, garlic may decrease their size and number. Garlic also reduces the risk of hematological cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. Garlic is thought to increase immune system activity, making it more likely to detect and fight tumors.

3. Garlic lowers blood pressure. 

It works on the smooth muscles of the arteries and causes them to relax and dilate, thereby lowering one’s blood pressure.

4. It can help prevent blood clots.

Garlic also works as a blood thinner or anti-thrombotic, thereby preventing blood clots in patients at risk for clots. For this reason, people already on anti-thrombotic therapy should speak to their doctors before taking garlic therapeutically. (Eating it is safe.)

5. It’s a cure for the common cold. 

Garlic is anti-microbial, due to a component known as allicin, making it safe for treatment of infections like the common cold. In fact, it’s often the only treatment I seek when a bug is going around the office. Simply mince a clove, mix with some olive oil (or chili pepper oil if you’re adventurous) and spread on bread or over veggies.

Some tips for your garlic intake:

• Crush raw garlic and allow it to sit for at least 15 minutes before eating.
• Whenever possible, eat it raw. The compounds that make garlic most effective, allicin and ajoene, can be destroyed by heating.
• Eat it often, at least daily, if not multiple times per day.
• If you really like garlic like I do, try juicing it with your mixed veggies.
• Or better yet, make my garlic tea: simply crush a few cloves, allow them to steep in hot water for 15 minutes, add a small amount of honey and sip away!

Prevent Dementia? Improvements in Cognitive Function?

TRYM Fitters,

I don’t know about you, but as I age I find myself more and more afraid of age-related diseases.  I hear tons of strories about someone’s dad/mom/sister/brother forgetting things short and long term from their past, forgetting where they put their belongings, and repeatedly forgetting they said the same thing 6 times in 6 minutes.   Previously, I assumed that there was no way on EARTH that I could start to prevent this from happening to me.  I am convinced after reading this article that there is hope to avoid or even to minimize age-related diseases.  If you know of someone that is experiencing any signs or just want to prevent it then read on.

Astaxanthin – is an antioxidant supplement that helps fight the signs of aging and support joint and skeletal health, among other astaxanthin benefits.  This is what turns salmon pink:).

• Researchers found that supplementing with astaxanthin-rich Haematococcus pluvialis (microalgae) extract lead to improvements in cognitive function in older individuals who complained of age-related forgetfulness

• Scientists now believe astaxanthin could help prevent dementia, including Alzheimer’s, help prevent neurodegeneration associated with oxidative stress, as well as make a potent natural “brain food”

• Astaxanthin exhibits some of the most potent antioxidant activity currently known; it positions itself across the entire cell membrane, attaching itself to both the exterior, interior, as well as the entire lipid layer, thereby offering global protection for each cell

• Due to the limited food sources of astaxanthin, it can be difficult to get enough from diet alone; recommended dosages are included, and range from 2-12 mg/day, depending on health status and targeted health condition

As you might suspect, an antioxidant with this kind of power can have an extraordinary impact on health; more studies are being published all the time about this incredible nutrient. Here are just some of the ways astaxanthin can positively impact your health, according to the latest research:

Boosting your immune function	Improving endurance, workout performance and recovery
Improving cardiovascular health by reducing C-Reactive Proteins (CRP), reducing triglycerides, and increasing beneficial HDL	Helping to stabilize blood sugar, thereby protecting your kidneys
Greatly protecting your eyes from cataracts, macular degeneration, and blindness	Relieving indigestion and reflux
Protecting your brain from dementia and Alzheimer’s	Improving fertility by increasing sperm strength and sperm count
Reducing your risk for many types of cancer (including cancers of the breast, colon, bladder and mouth) by stimulating apoptosis (cancer cell death) and inhibiting lipid peroxidation	Helping to prevent sunburn, and protecting you from the damaging effects of radiation (i.e., flying in airplanes, x-rays, CT scans, etc.)
Improving recovery from spinal cord and other central nervous system injuries	Reducing oxidative damage to your DNA
Reducing inflammation from all causes, including arthritis and asthma	Reducing symptoms from pancreatitis, multiple sclerosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, and Lou Gehrig’s disease, and neurodegenerative diseases

HOW MUCH ASTAXANTHIN DO YOU NEED TO PROTECT YOUR BRAIN?

Unless you are a flamingo or some other marine animal, you are probably not getting very much astaxanthin from your diet alone because there are only two prime sources: microalgae and sea creatures that consume the algae (such as salmon, shellfish, red trout and krill). Compared gram for gram:

• Salmon contains 5-40 parts per million of astaxanthin
• Krill contains about 120 parts per million of astaxanthin
• Shrimp provides about 1,200 parts per million, and
• Microalgae (H. pluvalis) contains 40,000 parts per million

I have mentioned astaxanthin in reference to krill oil, which has been my preferred source of animal-based omega-3 fats for many years now, because krill oil naturally contains astaxanthin (about 1 milligram (mg) per serving). The typical dose of astaxanthin when taken in supplement form is 2-4 milligrams, but emerging evidence suggests many people probably need more, depending on their health status.

Based on my discussions with Dr. Corish, I increased my own dosage to 8 mg a day and I’m considering increasing it to 12 mg, which he believes is the optimal dose for both brain and heart health. Dr. Corish explained:

“We have found that there is an abnormal accumulation of hydroperoxides within red blood cells in people who have dementia and Alzheimer’s. We now know that if you give these patients astaxanthin, the amount of peroxides – these harmful free radicals – is reduced by 50 percent. That’s a significant reduction, and that is at a dose of 12 milligrams.

…I take 12 milligrams. I want to have this essential nervous protection. I want the cardiovascular protection and also because of my activities. I have increased energy. It protects my mitochondria.

You know, we are bombarded by such an amount of free radicals. The free radicals that come from the environment, those in our food, pesticides, herbicides, environmental smoke, and excessive sunlight. If I know that I’m going to be out playing golf for more than a couple of hours, I definitely want some protection. And astaxanthin provides that internal protection.

I think 12 milligrams really covers everything.

If you want to just take it as a general antioxidant coverage, I believe between four and six milligrams will be adequate. If you want it for skin, two to four milligrams would be adequate. Once again, depending on the condition that you are really trying to target, you can tailor your dose.”

Fortunately, astaxanthin has a flawless safety record. No harmful side effects have been noted in any of the safety studies performed. If you were to take very high doses (about 50 mg a day, which I don’t currently recommend) your skin may take on an orange hue, but this is simply a cosmetic change and will not harm your health in any way.
