What’s My Breast Cancer Risk?
Just because your mother doesn’t have breast cancer doesn’t mean you won’t get this disease. Surprisingly, the vast majority of breast cancer cases are in women that have no family history of the disease. Learn about the risk factors for developing breast cancer. Then discover the dietary & lifestyle changes you can make now to lower your risk.
Peaches
Their delicate flavor and sweet taste make this stone fruit ideal with yogurt or salads. Peaches are an excellent source of vitamin C and a good source of carotenoids and potassium. If you want peaches & cream skin, eat more of this wonderful fruit!
Spaghetti Squash
When cooked, this squash looks and tastes like spaghetti pasta but that’s where the similarities end. Spaghetti squash is lower in calories and starch and is a good source of vitamin C and potassium. A dieters dream!
Bone Support
October 20th marks World Osteoporosis Day. This health observance was developed to increase awareness & understanding of osteoporosis and prevent debilitating fractures. Start your prevention plan today by adding Bone Support to your evening regimen.
Great skin requires copper as this trace mineral is required in an enzyme that helps cross-link collagen and elastin.
From the Editor
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month. Many plastic surgeons across the country that carry the VitaMedica Recovery product line offer breast reconstruction surgery after cancer treatment. We applaud these surgeons for their work in helping breast cancer survivors regain their sense of self and confidence.
Our featured fruit & veggie this month are good sources of potassium, a nutrient lacking in most Americans’ diet. Peaches make a great afternoon snack. Have you tried spaghetti squash? If not, you must try it this month! This past weekend, I made spaghetti squash with pesto sauce and sun dried tomatoes. It was not only healthy but simple and delicious!
