Continuing the Fight Against Cancer

If any one idea, drug or concept actually cured cancer, it would be worth billions of dollars yet, so many things claim to be that cure. However, a combination of ideas could make an impact on reducing the chances of contracting cancer or increase your chances of beating it. If something as simple as eating better would increase your chances of living a better life, sleeping better, having more energy, losing weight, then isn't it worth trying?

Now a days, eating better doesn't mean restricting what you eat, instead it just means making better choices. A healthy diet doesn't mean you can't have bread. It means selecting Multi Grain over White bread and instead of eating it 5x a week, maybe its only 3x. Instead of Fried, eat Grilled or Baked or Poached or Pan Roasted or Steamed or Boiled (AHH, See? There's lots of choices and options). Sometimes the key to enjoying food isn't how its prepared, its how much care it was prepared with. Take time to season, marinated and follow common proper cooking practices like making sure your pots and pans are at an optimum temperature before adding your food. That way you maximize flavors. Taste your food as you cook not after you serve it. Adjust the seasoning as needed. Cook with your imagination. Imagine what the best vegetables would taste like, imagine a well seasoned dressing or sauce. Then match what you are making to your imagination.

For better health, here's a tip. Choose ingredients based on properties that are low in sugar (both natural and processed) and also ingredients that are natural Anti Inflammatory. Reducing the irritation and inflammation in your body tissue is huge in preventing and curing illness. Healthy tissue has the ability to reject cancer and kill off cancer cells. Tissue that is constantly trying to clean and heal itself is in no condition to fight off illness...

Pharmacy vs the Produce Market

Here is some interesting political and financial crap that can really have an affect on us. If you were to research the impact that food can have as an "Anti-Cancer" Agent, you may be as surprised as I have been lately. I've been given and opportunity to cook for a three time lung cancer survivor, 3 meals a day. In my research, Ive learned about a great deal of produce that can cause cancer cell suicide in many different ways. Some foods promote healthy tissue that will reject the cancer cells that try and settle in, some convince the cancer cells to die, etc. The fact that its never prescribed or even recommended by a Dr comes down to this:

Dr's receive their up to date info mostly through published trade magazines, seminars and pharm reps who sit in front of them regularly to promote the newest drug. so how do these drugs get into this line of communication? Well, it takes about $500MM to $1B of human testing to become "proven" enough to be patented and sold. For example, one drug used to treat cancer earns the patent holder $1B a YEAR... so they make that money up from the testing very quickly

Now, take blueberries, broccoli, turmeric, cabbage, shiitaki mushrooms for example. Extremely effective in the fight against cancer, however, very natural and no possible way to hold a patent. So any company that will invest the $500MM in human testing isn't guaranteed to be the sole recipient of sales on those items, so in the end, Dr's aren't supporting and encouraging a healthy natural diet to cure and prevent many of our problems...

No Wonder CVS and Walgreens don't have a produce isle

Elementary Education

You know what's crazy? Well, a lot of things actually, however here is one, some elementary schools in town contract Fast Food establishments to provide school lunches. Yeah, That's Brain Food Right? Nothing like a filling lunch of greasy fried food to put you to sleep for your afternoon class. Are we the only country that our children turn in not only their homework but also their classwork with French Fry grease on it? No wonder why the "Dog Ate It" it smelled like Taco Bell...

Other schools are offering hot lunch, but loaded with sugar and preservatives, why? Well kids like it, so they eat it or maybe its cheap... Is eating garbage really cheap? What if you ate candy bars everyday? How much would you spend? Ok, now add in the cost of going to the dentist, without insurance, what would your cost be now? Then when you go to the Dr because your stomach hurts, your head hurts and you feel fatigued all the time and don't forget how much money you DIDN'T make because you missed work. What's your cost now? Hopefully that creates a better picture of what the side effects of unhealthy food actually costs. Now, how expensive is eating a healthier diet that doesn't cause cavities, diabetes, nausea, fatigue, and chronic illness, but instead, gives you energy to concentrate and perform better. Helps children stay awake, study longer, concentrate on the teacher and pay attention to what they are reading. No worries about missing school anymore because our kids are sleeping better and waking up feeling rested, thanks to a healthy way of living.

Ghione's Go Fresh is proposing to cater to schools in Las Vegas, to design and provide healthy meals that your children and grand children will enjoy and benefit from. We can reduce the risk of obesity, one meal at a time.

KTNV LIVE @ 9

For anyone that missed the graphic display of the Weight Loss Results show yesterday, here the link to watch me demonstrate how much weight Bob and Norma Jean actually lost in their first of three month weight loss challenge.

http://www.ktnv.com/Global/category.asp?C=173250

For those that haven't followed along yet, Channel 13 is tracking results, weekly, of a Ghione's Go Fresh Kitchen Couple that we feed twice a day. In addition to only eating organic food, they work out at DragonRidge Country Club with trainer Troy Meir twice a week and meet with Success Coach Mary Ligon once a week. This project is coordinator by our dear friend at Elite Medical Spa, Dr Youmans. Amazing results the first month, just how much did they lose? Well, you'll just have to watch and see. Our segment is about 15 Minutes into the show.

7 for the Price of 6

I want to encourage my readers and customers to try something that I believe in. Something that will help us all feel better and look better, not to mention to live a healthier life. Try my weekly diet plan, pay for 6 days and the 7th day is on me, for giving us the opportunity to help you eat healthy and put you and your family on the preventative healthy care plan as opposed to reacting to symptoms.

Here's a fact, by the time you have symptoms of an illness, you're 10 years too late to prevent it. The foods that we consume, and I'm referring to the non-organic and processed foods, can cause plaque in our cardiovascular system. Side affects from this such as, heart disease, high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, yup, all that good stuff.

So it's important to fill ourselves with beneficial foods. Familiar foods to our digestive systems, not just our taste buds. The difference, we may have grown up on meatloaf and mashed potatoes, but our bodies aren't good at processing that into 100% usable "compost". Instead, our compost piles inside us have left overs that we are forced to store, much like non-biodegradable plastics and such in the landfills. The more you add to it, the taller the pile gets.

For more health information contact Dr Simong Youmans at www.elitemedspa.net and to understand more of how our unconscious minds are tied into our over indulgence and lack of self controlled eating habits, spend some time talking with Behavioral Therapist, Mary Ligon www.maryligon.com You may find diet and exercise may be enough to lose weight, however, if we don't learn to change our behaviors, we will always be stuck in the "losing weight" mode rather than losing the weight and then living a new lifestyle that will maintain that Fun, Fit, New Look!!

Not Just Making Food but Making Strides!

In less than 30 Days, the Breast Cancer awareness month will take place. For the entire month of October, the American Cancer Society will be encouraging women to catch cancer before its too late. The first Saturday in October will be their Making Strides for Cancer Walk and Ghione's Go Fresh Kitchen has proudly committed to spending the rest of this month raising money for the Strides walk in October. All month, I'll be donating a percentage of the money that our customers spend towards Cancer Research, what a better way to give back?

Everyone of us has or had a mother, some have sisters and some have daughters. Some have lost a battle to cancer, some survived and some lucky enough to not have to have dealt with the fight, but all are at risk. Cancer is no stranger to men, but this charity hits close to home for me. You see, many years ago, someone just like me, many people actually, had jars on their counter, held a fundraiser and walked the Strides walk and raised money for cancer research and it saved my Mother's life...

Now, I want to help save your mother, sister or daughter. I hope they never have to fight for their life against cancer, but if they do I hope that cancer wont stand a chance against Medical Science.

Come Dine with us all month and we won't just make your dinner, we'll be "Making Strides"
