Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

 

Instead of reaching for the store-bought container, why not make your own version of this Middle Eastern specialty? Easy and versatile, this recipe can be altered depending on the ingredients you have on hand. For example, chickpeas, a good source of dietary fiber, are also protein-rich, with about a gram per tablespoon and the folate present in both beans can help protect against cancer. Serve this with some veggies to dip and you have a healthy “anytime” snack.

Think before going pink: Many breast cancer awareness sponsors profit from cancer Thursday, October 04, 2012 by: Tony Isaacs

(NaturalNews) As we find ourselves once again awash in a sea of pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM), few people who participate, donate or buy pink-themed products are aware that BCAM has always been a deliberate deception - a "pinkwash" which helps "do-gooder" sponsors hide their own culpability while promoting products which cause cancer.

In the beginning

Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) was launched in 1987 by Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), a British chemical company which has been a world leader in manufacturing cancer-causing pesticides, plastics and other products. From day one, ICI and later spin-off Zeneca have used BCAM to direct research and prevention efforts away from chemical carcinogens.

Prevent Memory Loss Naturally

(Health Secrets Newsletter) Memory becomes a concern as we grow older. Lapses in memory that didn’t seem important when we were younger start to take on new meaning with the passing years. It becomes common to misplace things like car keys, eyeglasses and cell phones, to draw a blank on a friend’s name, to walk into a room and forget why we went there in the first place. Although we all have these experiences as we age, we tend to worry about what these memory lapses mean. It is important to realize that, contrary to popular belief, memory loss is not a natural process of aging. Our brains are capable of making new brain cells at any given age.

Memory loss becomes serious when it interferes with our daily activities
