Rethink Breast Cancer

FIVE STEPS TO BEING BREAST AWARE

1. Know how your breasts normally look and feel.

2. Know what changes to look for.

3. Look and feel for changes.

4. Report any changes to a doctor.

5. Go for a free mammogram if you are of the appropriate age, or if recommended by a doctor. By finding breast abnormalities in the early stages, mammograms can save lives. Women at the appropriate age can get a free mammogram through their regional breast screening program.

Pink Ribbon Smoothie

The main ingredients of the new smoothie, called the "Pink Ribbon Smoothie", are garden-fresh strawberries and red grapes which contain disease-fighting phytochemicals which occur naturally in whole fruits, vegetables and grains.

Strawberries have been shown to contain high levels of ellagic acid, a proven anti-carcinogen, anti-mutagen and anti-cancer initiator. Grapes contain resveratrol, which has been proven to inhibit the growth of cancerous tumors. According to Dr. Andrew Dannenburg at Cornell University Medical College, recent research on resveratrol indicates that it inhibits the development of an enzyme commonly linked to breast cancer.

The beauty of using your Vita-Mix machine to make this recipe is that you'll be releasing the powerful phytochemicals found in strawberries and grapes and making them more bioavailable. Vita-Mix processing literally breaks through the cell walls of whole foods to release nutrients that go undigested when food is simply chewed.

· 1 cup organic red grapes

· 1 cup organic strawberries, fresh

· 1 slice organic ginger, fresh

· 1/2 cup low fat organic (rBGH) free vanilla yogurt

· 1 cup ice cubes from filtered water

Directions
Place all ingredients in the Vita-Mix container in the order listed. Secure 2-part lid. Select VARIABLE, speed #1. Turn on machine and quickly increase speed to #10; then to HIGH. Blend for 30 seconds or until smooth. Yields 2-1/2 cups.
