Women with high plasma levels of enterolactone [metabolized plant lignans], around 12.96 nanomoles per gram, were shown to have 58% reduction of breast cancer risk. Researchers however need to conduct more tests as they aren't sure which of the above sources of lignans, if any in particular , are responsible for the reduction.

Breast is best for Antioxidants

Why breastfeed? "According to Sally Errey" The benefits to babies include enhanced immunity, complete and balanced nourishment, more efficient digestion, optimal brain development , and mother-child bonding. Mothers also benifit from faster recovery, postpartum weight loss, a sense of well-being and relaxation, and even reduced risk of breast, uterine, and ovarian cancers.

New research from the Children's Hospital at Sanliurfa, Turkey [Nutrition 2006] now shows that breast milk has more antioxidant power than a formula made from cow's milk. For the study, which observed healthy term infants from three to six months of age, different markers were recorded, such as the total antioxidant capacities of the plasma, bilirubin, albumin , and Vitamin C. total antioxidant capacity and vitamin C levels were found to be significantly higher in the infants who were breastfed. Indicators of oxidative stress [the opposite of anitioxidant activity] were also higher in those fed with the formula.

Is Your Purse Making You Sick?

Even though you may wash your hands 12 times a day, you could be re-contaminating yourself every time you pick up your purse. According to Joseph Brasco, M.D. many women are unaware of the harmful bacteria and germs that can collect on their purses."Women carry their purses everywhere and put them in all sorts of unsanitary places, from the floor of the car to bathrooms stalls, nightclubs and other spots that are magnets for germs." he says . "Most women don't realize that purses can harbour harmful germs such as salmonella, staphylococcus and even E-coli- any of which can make you very sick in a hurry!

Germs can live on a dry surfaces, such as handbags, for several hours. Dr. Brasco says it is best to carry a vinyl or leather purse during the winter months instead of cloth purses because they are easier to clean. "Use leather or vinyl cleaner , which can be found at most shoe stores to clean handbags, devoting extra attention to the bottom of the purse and also the handles. "Dr Brasco also says to "wipe down your purse in the evening when you come home from work or school."
"But beyond regular cleaning, be careful about where you place your purse. don't plop it on the floor one minute and then put it on top of the kitchen counter where you prepare \food , or soonb your purse will be responsible for infecting your entire family.!"
DRINK UP! BUG- FIGHTING POWER
Although many people say that once you're sick there is nothing you can do. Jordan Rubin says that's not the case. To tell the bug to take a hike, nhe recommends drinking apple cider vinegar diluted with warm water and some honey for taste.
Mug of warm water
2 tbsps. of apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp. of honey
Drink this potion at least 3-4 times a day...

The Flu Can Travel Too! Part 2

To boost your immune system on the road and help keep cold and flu at bay, Rubin recommends eating "foods rich in garlic and onions, as well as spices from the oregano family: oregano, thyme, marjoram."Try keeping oil of oregano and aged garlic extract supplements on hand when traveling in case you don't have access to the foods. "Probiotics are exellent to use during any travel or when eating out to prevent germs from from ruining your trip and keep your gut and immune system strong, "says Rubin.

The Flu Can Travel Too!

When travelling, Jordan Rubin, N.M.D., Ph.D., recommends practicing advanced hygiene. Since you are exposed to so many germs-sitting on a plane with so many other people (some of them sneezing) and using the same small washrooms- you can get easily get sick. He suggests filling a sink or bowl with warm water and 3 tablespoons of iodized salt (making sure the sink is cleaned with hot water first). Dunk your face in a sink or a bowl and "blow out"your nose to clear the nasal passages. This is easy to do when travelling (do it when you arrive at your hotel) and it's also great help with sinus problems, allergies or a runny nose attributed to a cold.
