Breast Cancer Awareness

Featured Recipe: Citrus Salmon

“A new study released last month shows that regularly including fish like salmon rich in omega-3 fats can help lower cancer risk. The benefit of salmon is most likely due both to its omega-3’s as well as its rich vitamin D content.”

—Liz Applegate, Ph.D.

Have You Tried ‘Flax Cheese’?

One of the newest additions to the Beemster line of aged Goudas, Beemster “Vlaskaas” translates literally to “flax cheese,” as it was traditionally eaten during the flax harvest with thick slices of bread and warm porridge.  For a limited time, for each pound sold, Beemster will donate $.50 to the Susan G. Koman Race for a Cure.

Health Notes with Dr. Liz

Delicious Protection

Eating certain foods may offer protection for you and your family against a variety of different types of cancer. And with this month’s Breast Cancer Awareness efforts, you can take advantage of these delicious ways to stay healthy:

• Olive oil: Known for its heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, olive oil offers protection against breast cancer. Various antioxidants found in the olive itself help protect cells against cancer causing agents. Use this oil in cooking, as dressing for salad or pasta and as an alternative to margarine and butter.
• Salmon: A new study released last month shows that regularly including fish like salmon rich in omega-3 fats can help lower cancer risk. The benefit of salmon is most likely due both to its omega-3’s as well as its rich vitamin D content. This hormone-like vitamin is receiving much attention amongst cancer researchers as an anti-tumor compound. Aim for two 4-ounce servings of salmon or other fish weekly.
• Whole grains: A study from Italy revealed that the Mediterranean diet eaten there, which is rich in whole grains, offers protection against breast and other cancers. Select brown rice, quinoa, wild rice and other whole grains as side dishes. Also opt for whole grain cereals and breads over refined versions.
