CANCER FIGHTING FOODS // The anti-inflammatory seed that can protect you from cancer

Pomegranate is without a doubt one of our favorite foods this time of year! Sweet and tart. Tangy and juicy. Delicious. That’s the pleasure you get when you crack open a fresh pomegranate and suck on the deep red seeds of the luscious fruit. Or when you simply crack open a bottle of pure pomegranate juice and take a satisfying gulp. Not only are pomegranates tasty, but they’re also full of natural health benefits.

BREAST CANCER PREVENTION // Detoxification for Breast Cancer Prevention

2016 is here and we’re all about getting off to a good start. Detox is a very popular word this time of year but what does “detox” mean to you? Most people think of fasting, dieting, or some crazy cleanse. Although all these do involve some sort of detox, they tend to be a temporary fix for a much larger problem. Detoxing is all about removing nasty, often cancer-causing toxins from our bodies in order to help live an overall healthier life!

CANCER FIGHTING FOODS // Natural Antibiotics for Cold + Flu Season

Winter means cold & SNOW (can you tell we’re excited?) but for many, winter also means cold + flu season. It is almost instinctual for us to head to the doctor’s office to get meds when we come down with a sickness. However, the antibiotics often prescribed usually wind up doing much more harm than good, killing off healthy bacteria and the bad pathogens. While antibiotics do have their place in medicine, why not think about reaching for a natural solution when you can? Mother Nature has some pretty amazing things to offer us!

BREAST CANCER PREVENTION // Self Care Resolutions for 2016

It’s that time of year again; the time when everyone is making resolutions… or the complete opposite. It seems that many people these days are quick to reject the idea of New Year’s resolutions because it brings up memories of failed attempts and hopeful do-overs. We get that. But what if the concept of a New Year’s resolution isn’t actually at fault? What if it’s about the resolutions you choose to make?
