home Ten Ways To Increase Your Happiness User Rating: / 1 Self Happiness isn't as difficult to obtain as we think.   It's not a matter of possessions, income or what the media defines as success.  It's a matter of choice and perspective.   Read more... Are You Free? User Rating: / 3 Spirituality Creature comforts can give you more happiness, but true happiness can only be experienced if you don’t need them. If you don’t have to have your latte, then your latte can truly make you happier.  We don’t value living a life devoid of pleasure. The Almighty loves us and wants us to have pleasure. He created us as pleasure seekers. But woe to the ones who become slaves to those pleasures. Don’t let your latte shackle you. Read more... Holiday Weight Loss Tips -- Do They Work? User Rating: / 0 Health and Fitness While the holiday season can be full of joyous experiences it can also be a truly stressful time - bringing with it the fear of stepping on the scale once the New Year rolls around. However, there's some good news - most people don't gain as much weight during this time of year as they might think. But, the bad news is that the weight gained during the festive season turns into an unwanted gift that can't be returned. Read more... Got Friends? User Rating: / 4 Relationships Must have been fifteen or so years ago now, when it occurred to me after a string of disappointing intimate relationships that...it might be wise to invest more time in creating some deep and lasting friendships, as they theoretically seemed to have greater staying power and could be in many ways equally fulfilling, perhaps in some ways even more. Read more... Don’t Wait for Happiness User Rating: / 1 Spirituality When put in their proper perspective all of life’s difficulties become understandable. Not easy, not pleasant, but understandable.

your health Breast Healthy Eating by Catie Hayes of WomanLinks.com How in the world can what you eat aid in prevention of breast cancer? Breast cancer is hormonally based. It thrives in the presence of estrogen. When a great deal of estrogen is present, the likelihood of developing breast cancer multiplies. Several foods naturally block the effect of estrogen. By encorporating these foods into your diet, you can reduce the presence of estrogen and lower your risk for breast cancer without medication. Will this guarantee you will never develop breast cancer? No, but eating a breast-friendly diet may help tip the odds in your favor Foods high in soy or flaxseed are highly effective estrogen blockers. The typical American diet doesn't call for much in this department, so to give you some ideas, check out the recipes below: Vegetarian Jambalaya Grilled Tofu in Miso Sauce Tofu Mock Egg Salad Sesame Tofu Stir Fry Chicken Tofu Burgers Szechwan Tofu Triangles Miso Soup Cruciferous vegetables help break down estrogen into a "good" form that is not associated with breast cancer. Broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower are common examples of cruciferous vegetables. As with soy-base foods, western cultures are not usually very heavy in this department. The following are a great way to add some veggies to your diet: Sesame broccoli Lemon Pepper Broccoli Broccoli with Horseradish Sauce Fricassee of Curried Vegetables Garlic Cauliflower Marinated Cauliflower Salad Apple Cabbage Slaw Veronica Strangely enough, not all fats are bad for you. Fats from the Omega-3 group are always a good choice when eating healthy. The Omega-3 group includes fish-based oils and olive oil. There are lots of ways to encorporate this into your diet beyond olive oil salad dressings. Take a look at the following links for some ideas. Asian Style Grilled Salmon Rozanne Gold's Swedish Cured Salmon Roasted Cedar Plank Salmon Chardonnay Poached Salmon with Tomato Caper Relish Southwestrn Barbecue Salmon Apple Braised Salmon with Citrus Spiced Couscous Salmon & Potato Shish Kabobs Suzanne Somers' Crispy Mesquite Grilled Salmon or Trout Coriander, Fennel & Pepper Crusted Tuna (from The Strang Cookbook for Cancer Prevention ) The Ultimate Tuna Salad Tuna & Capers Sandwiches Tuna Pasta Salad Tuna Steaks in Fennel Tomato Sauce Diets high in fiber are great protection from a variety of cancers, breast cancer included. You can start by tossing the white bread out and choosing whole grain wheat or oatmeal instead. Whole grain cereals, like Total and oatmeal, as well as whole grain bagels are always great breakfast choices too. For more ideas, take a look at the following links (you'll notice that many include cruciferous vegetables too making them some of the best breast healthy choices) : Root Vegetable Lasagna (from The Strang Cookbook for Cancer Prevention ) Vegetable Packed Chicken Pot Pie (from The Strang Cookbook for Cancer Prevention ) Citrus Spinach Salad Grilled Vegetable Ratatouille Salad Stuffed Tomatoes with Vegetables & Rice Lemon Blueberry Chicken Salad Mexican Style Chickpea Salad Black Bean Salad in Avocado Boats Apple Cabbage Slaw Veronica Pepper Slaw Jicama Mango Cole Slaw Spa Cuisine Beet & Onion Salad Sauerkraut Slaw Additional Resources The Strang Cookbook for Cancer Prevention Beating Cancer With Nutrition Send your comments on this article to the editor Mail this article to a friend.
