Still learning....

I'm changing my eating habits...I'm eating more healthy and I'm enjoying it.
I read long time ago an article about the food that helps to be healthy:

• Broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower have a chemical component called indole-3-carbinol that can combat breast cancer by converting a cancer-promoting estrogen into a more protective variety.
• Avocados are rich in glutathione, a powerful antioxidant that attacks free radicals in the body by blocking intestinal absorption of certain fats.
• Carrots contain a lot of beta carotene, which may help reduce a wide range of cancers including lung, mouth, throat, stomach, intestine, bladder, prostate and breast. I don't eat carrots, I'll include in my diet now.
• Chili peppers and jalapenos contain a chemical, capsaicin, which may neutralize certain cancer-causing substances (nitrosamines) and may help prevent cancers such as stomach cancer. In this case the "aji" is the same for my Colombian people.
• Garlic has immune-enhancing allium compounds (dialyl sultides) that appear to increase the activity of immune cells that fight cancer and indirectly help break down cancer causing substances. These substances also help block carcinogens from entering cells and slow tumor development. I used the garlic to cook everything, like the rice, to marinade the beef or chicken, to the salads etc.
• Grapefruits, like oranges and other citrus fruits, contain monoterpenes, believed to help prevent cancer by sweeping carcinogens out of the body. Some studies show that grapefruit may inhibit the proliferation of breast-cancer cells in vitro. They also contains vitamin C, beta-carotene, and folic acid. Well I don't eat or drink grapefruit (juice) but I love the oranges.
• Grapes, red contain bioflavonoids, powerful antioxidants that work as cancer preventives.
• Mushrooms - There are a number of mushrooms that appear to help the body fight cancer and build the immune system . I don't know the name of the each kind of mushrooms, but I always include them in my salads, sometimes with my eggs, or/and with the beef.
• Oranges and lemons contain Iimonene which stimulates cancer-killing immune cells (lymphocytes, e.g.) that may also break down cancer-causing substances. I put lemon to the rice when I'm cooking and when I'm eating. Lemon to the beef, and lemon to the beer (Corona)hahahahaha.
• Papayas have vitamin C that works as an antioxidant and may also reduce absorption of cancer-causing nitrosamines from the soil or processed foods. Papaya contains folacin (also known as folic acid), which has been shown to minimize cervical dysplasia and certain cancers. You can find it at Food City for sure.

Well today I want to share this information with everyone. It's important to start taking care of ourselves first, to be the models to the people that don't take care about them. Plus that make you feel so GOOD!!!!I do.
