From Pam Stephan, your Guide to Breast Cancer
When I think of walnuts, I picture Christmas cookies, brownies dotted with chopped nuts, chess pie and walnut cake. But there's more to these nuts than just sweet goodies.

Snack on Walnuts to Slow Breast Cancer
Walnuts are loaded with flavor, texture, and protein. But did you know that they also contain several anticancer substances? Lab research is stacking up in favor of snacking on these humble nutmeats. Learn more about walnuts and breast cancer.

Eat Less Meat, More Fruits and Veggies
It's really about less of the bad fats and more of the good fats. Haven't heard of good fats? The good guys are in plants and cold-water fish, and they promote the good cholesterol. The bad guys are in fatty red meats and processed foods. Say bye-bye to burgers and hello to Portobellos!

Fruit Smoothies - Quickly Add Fiber to Your Diet
I had lots of smoothies during chemo. Somedays, a smoothie took the place of a meal. I started to dream of ways to get more fiber and protein into a smoothie - like a lentil/blueberry/cheese/curry shake. Somehow, I couldn't bring myself to try that one! What's in your blender?

See Red With Lycopene
As my summer garden winds down, we gather in the last of the big tomatoes. Soon, the bountiful supply of melons and cantaloupes will dry up. All these contain lycopene, an important antioxdant that helps us fight cancer. Enjoy some while they are fresh!
