My Journey Magazine (a LifeWay Publication) tells me October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and offered 5 suggestions we should practice.

1. Eat good fats—olive oil, flaxseed oil, and fats from nuts, seeds, avocados, and coconuts. Avoid trans fats like partially hydrogenated oils, hydrogenated oils or vegetable shorting.

2. Eat lots of  greens—spinach, lettuce, kale, broccoli, and green peppers.

3. Exercise —The American Cancer Society recommends that you exercise for 30 to 45 minutes at least five days each week.

4. Take supplements—Harvard studies suggest that taking 1,200 mg. of calcium and 800 IU of vitamin D daily slashes breast-cancer risk by up to 69 percent.

5. Eat walnuts—According to www.webmd.com, snacking on two ounces (two handfuls) of walnuts a day may cut your risk of breast cancer.

My Baby Girl gave me a tip as to spinach—I’m passing it on to you with my testimony that she was right.  Fresh spinach leaves on a sandwich instead of iceberg lettuce adds nutrition and more flavor.  Fresh spinach leaves, tomato slices, onion slices, smoked gouda cheese and I can do without the meat— put that on Arnold Thin Sandwich bread. Ymmm! I’m making some of these for lunch tomorrow.  Not to worry, I do have turkey slices.

Enjoy your evening.  Friday morning’s IDOK is entitled:

Bent. . . Well?
