In the vegetable world, the Brassica genus reigns supreme, and the cabbage is the most impressive, then broccoli and bok choy. They contain a compound called indoles, which has been shown to reduce the risk of cancer dramatically. Cabbage eaten more than once a week can cut colon cancer by 66%. Cabbage also stimulates the immune system, kills bacteria and viruses, and is a good blood purifier. If you eat the red variety you’ll also get a healthy dose of antioxidants. Sauerkraut is good for you and only has 23 cal. Per ½ cup.
Got this today from our nutritionist at the school.
Well I became a statistic this summer. Eating out too much has made me gain back some weight. The husband has spoiled me way too much and we've been eating out too much. I have done some things well this summer though. I have reconnected with cousins and other family members, spent time with friends, and made some trips that were enjoyable and relaxing. I have taken the time to smell the roses and see the sunrises. Now if I can just cut back on the sweets during all this happiness! :D
