9 Foods You Must Stop Eating Immediately For Breast Cancer Prevention (And Reversing It Too)

Last updated on September 3, 2018 By Astrid 32 Comments

To this day scientists have not been able to figure out the exact cause of breast cancer. However, we fully understand that nutritional deficiencies, exposure to environmental toxicity (xenoestrogens), generic alterations BRCA1/BRCA2, chronic inflammation, the influence of endocrine-disruptors, carcinogens, a compromised immune system, and estrogen dominance play a major role.

According to the National Cancer Institute this year, an estimated 231,840 women in the US will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, and 60,290 women will be diagnosed with in situ breast cancer. An estimated 2,350 men in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer.

So what foods should you eliminate from your diet for your best chances at breast cancer prevention? Here are the major offenders:

1. Sugar

Considering that most of the refined sugar in the united states is sourced from sugar beets, and most beets are now GMO’s you should say your last good byes to sugar immediately. I am sure you’ve seen the infamous picture of the lab rats with tumors on their chests. What do you think they were fed? Yep, Genetically Modified foods.
As a result of the anaerobic respiratory technique presented by virtually all cancer cells, sugar is cancer’s preferred food!

This is yet another reason to avoid processed white poison at all cost. If there is a history of cancer in your family, have or currently dealing with cancer, I encourage you to stop consuming sugar immediately– no matter what your anyone (including your Oncologist) says.

Skeptical? I don’t blame you. There is lots of fear mongering in this field and misinformation. I’d like to encourage you to educate yourself further by watching The Truth About Cancer – LIVE Starting Oct. 13th through October 21st, and learn how renowned scientists, functional and alternative medicine authorities, and survivors talk in detail about the culprit.

Avoid white sugar, brown sugar, agave (yeah agave is as bad as HFCS) and all artificial sweeteners such as saccharin, Amino Sweeet, aspartame, and sucralose.

If you love sweets, it’s wise to stick with natural sweeteners, but be mindful of their glycemic index. Some of my favorites are:

100% pure stevia in a no-alcohol base
xylitol
raw honey
pure maple syrup
lakanto
monk fruit
swerve
I’ve baked great recipes here made with some of these natural sweeteners.

If your goal is to achieve optimal health you need to moderate your sugar consumption to ensure that it doesn’t have a negative impact in your today and later on.

2. Pesticide-laden Fruits and Vegetables (Non-Organic)

Organic fruits and vegetables are grown without using dangerous herbicides, pesticides, molluscicides (slugs and snails). However, that is not the case with “cheaper” conventionally grown fruits and vegetables, and we are being exposed to these poisons more than ever.

In 1962 Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring exposed the hazards of the pesticide DDT. At that time everyone managed to reduce the use of pesticides and its exposure — only to see an alarming increase in the use of them a few years later. Her book meticulously described how DDT entered the food chain and accumulated in the fatty tissues of animals, including human beings, and caused cancer and genetic damage.

In this recently peer-reviewed paper by Environmental Sciences Europe, Chuck Benbrook, research professor at Washington State University’s Center for Sustaining Agriculture and Natural Resources shot down that claim. Herbicide-resistant crop technologies have lead to (527 million pounds) spike in herbicide use within the united states ranging from 1996 and 2011, whereas Bt crops have lowered insecticide uses by 123 million pounds. Overall, pesticide use by approximately 404 million pounds, or 7%.

Furthermore, The study, titled, ‘Glyphosate induces human breast cancer cells growth via estrogen receptors,’ compared the effect of glyphosate on hormone-dependent and hormone-independent breast cancer cell lines, finding that glyphosate stimulates hormone-dependent cancer cell lines in what the study authors describe as ‘low and environmentally relevant concentrations.'”

3. Unfermented Soy

Women all over the world– especially those following a vegan or vegetarian diet have turned to soy because soy is a “healthy food”. However, in 1997 scientist at the Health Sciences Research Division in Tennessee, became aware of a potential concern when they discovered cytological detection of epithelial hyperplasia in 7 of 24 women, during the months they were consuming soy protein isolate.

[box title=”Hyperplasia ” style=”noise” box_color=”#e9e9e9″ title_color=”#2d5d20″ radius=”12″]Hyperplasia is also known as epithelial hyperplasia or proliferative breast disease. It’s an overgrowth of the cells that line the ducts or the lobules. Based on how the cells look under a microscope, the hyperplasia is called either ductal hyperplasia (also called duct epithelial hyperplasia) or lobular hyperplasia. source[/box]

According to Cultures for Health non-fermented soy includes a number of substances, including:

Goitrogens. Like many vegetables, soy contains substances that can block or reduce the production of thyroid hormones, thus affecting other hormonal balances.
Phytic Acid. This anti-nutrient binds with minerals in your body and removes them. An over-consumption of foods with phytic acids can caause a depletion of essential minerals.
Oxalic Acids. A high concentration of oxalates can produce inflammation, resulting in discomfort, and can prevent the absorption of calcium, an essential nutrient.
Enzyme Inhibitors. These substances block the ability of the body’s natural enzymes to break down food into nutrients that can be assimilated.

Over-consumption of any type of food containing these substances can cause nutritional imbalances. However, the fermentation process breaks down enzyme inhibitors, produces phytase which neutralizes phytic acid, and decreases the goitrogenic properties of soy. Because of these changes, most traditional Asian soy recipes involve fermentation. (source)

In conclusion this pilot study indicates that prolonged consumption of soy protein isolate has a stimulatory effect on the premenopausal female breast, characterized by increased secretion of breast fluid, the appearance of hyperplastic epithelial cells, and elevated levels of plasma estradiol. These findings are suggestive of an estrogenic stimulus from the isoflavones genistein and daidzein contained in soy protein isolate.

If you must eat soy — I don’t know why anyway, opt for organic, Non-GMO fermented soy. If it doesn’t say those words in the packaging or you know your local farmer’s soy is organic; skip it.

4. Conventional Dairy (Farmed Cows)

Any time you consume dairy products and meat from CAFOs (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations ) you increase your risk of developing several diseases including breast cancer. Why? because you will be eating what those animals ate, the antibiotics they were pumped as well as pesticides, growth hormones and everything in between. Instead, choose grass-fed beef, and dairy to reduce the chances of toxins going into your body, which in turn will reduce the risk of breast cancer.

5. Avoid Drinking Alcohol Excessively

Drinking alcoholic beverages increase estrogen levels in your body. Alcohol may increase the risk of estrogen-sensitive cancers advise health authorities, including estrogen receptor-positive (ER-positive) breast cancer, the most common type of breast cancer. Other than the estrogen connection, alcohol itself is believed to be carcinogenic, or cancer-causing.”

This rule applies to hard liquor, beer or any type of wine. It is the alcohol that matters, not the kind of alcohol you are consuming.

For breast cancer survivors, some early research studies advised, at the very least for ER-positive breast cancer, the likelihood of recurrence increases each time a woman has more than a couple of drinks a week. This truly is considerably below the standard health recommendation that women consume no more than a drink a day.

[quote][animate type=”bounceInUp”] Prevention: Cancer prevention is the action taken to lower the chance of getting cancer. By preventing cancer, the number of new cases of cancer in a group or population is lowered. Hopefully, this will lower the number of deaths caused by cancer.

To prevent new cancers from starting, scientists look at risk factors and protective factors. Anything that increases your chance of developing cancer is called a cancer risk factor; anything that decreases your chance of developing cancer is called a cancer protective factor.

6. Genetically Modified Foods (GMO’s)

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are animals or plants where its DNA has been manipulated, in ways that can’t take place in nature as well as conventional crossbreeding. This is done typically as a way to make them resistant to chemical pesticides or produce an insecticide.

GMO’s have been linked to organ damage, gastrointestinal disease, and all types of Cancer– including breast cancer. Contrary to Monsanto’s claims that the development of GMO’s has reduced the use of pesticides– We are more exposed to glyphosate- a xenoestrogen than ever.

In the first groundbreaking study led by molecular biologist Gilles-Eric Seralini of the University of Caen in France, was published in 2012 in the prestigious peer-reviewed journal Food and Chemical Toxicology demonstrated clear evidence that GMO’s lead to Cancer.

The health effects of a Roundup-tolerant genetically modified maize (from 11% in the diet), cultivated with or without Roundup, and Roundup alone (from 0.1 ppb in water), were studied 2 years in rats. In females, all treated groups died 2–3 times more than controls, and more rapidly. All results were hormone and sex dependent, and the pathological profiles were comparable. Females developed large mammary tumors almost always more often than and before controls, the pituitary was the second most disabled organ; the sex hormonal balance was modified by GMO and Roundup treatments.

At this point, it is safe to say that if you haven’t switched to all organic or at least 80%– now is the time. Buy two organic tomatoes vs five conventional, grow your own, visit your local farmers and most importantly; be proactive in your quest to a healthier you.

7. Artificial Sweeteners

Aspartame has a profound adverse neurologic, cardiopulmonary, endocrine, and allergic effects, according to a recent issue of the Texas Heart Institute Journal (source)

Aspartame or AminoSweet is a neurotoxic or rat poison is made by joining together the amino acids aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are found naturally in many foods.

Splenda (sucralose) has been marketed for years as made from sugar, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Splenda is a chlorinated synthetic sweetener consistent with aspartame, that is apparently not as detrimental to your health.

I personally do not use and would never recommend artificial sweeteners. Instead, use organic stevia leaf extract in a non-alcoholic base, swerve, raw local honey, organic pure maple syrup, lakanto even xylitol.

8. Vegetable Oils

Research by the International Journal of Cancer found that compounds known as heterocyclic amines (HAs) present in fish and cooked animal-based proteins don’t appear to increase a woman’s likelihood of developing breast cancer immediately after menopause.

Having said that, even consuming small amounts of these compounds in conjunction with high intake of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which are found in nearly all types of vegetable oil, margarine (most commercial cake, muffins and junk food) may in fact increase the chance for postmenopausal women to develop breast cancer, warned researchers at Lund University, Malmo.

Furthermore, a 2012 study at the Los Angeles Veterans Administration Hospital found that subjects who consumed vegetable oils increased the risk of cancer two years and then five years into the study vs those who consumed animal fats.

The good news? You can now confidently cook and consume organic Pastured butter– I repeat pastured butter, ghee, coconut oil (I like this one), avocado oil, and of course EVOO

9. Farmed Fish (Salmon, Tilapia)

Farmed fish is bad news in many levels. Not only do they have to be pumped with antibiotics and medications to keep them from getting sick due to confinement, they are stressed because of the same reason.

The Environmental Working Group who is the authority in product and foods safety and conducted studies on farmed salmon from grocery stores found on average 16 times the dioxin-like PCBs found in wild salmon. Farmed salmon is likely the most PCB-contaminated protein source in the U.S. food supply. PCBs cause cancer and were banned in the United States in 1976.

Fish farming also harms ecosystems by releasing nutrients, waste, chemicals, and escaped domestic fish into oceans.

What to do? Farmed salmon is cheaper and has a pale color. Opt instead to purchase wild-caught sustainable seafood from reputable companies. I love fresh Wild Alaskan Salmon Dinner Fillets or when in a crunch Vital Choice Wild Seafood.

New Evidence Reveals The Importance of Digestive Enzymes in Your Diet

Last updated on September 4, 2018 By Astrid 1 Comment

Digestive Enzymes are incredibly important in the process of digestion. Saliva, fruits, and vegetables contain enzymes that help us digest foods. However, since our processed foods were introduced those digestive enzymes became less and less present in our foods. That being said, if you follow a raw food diet, you are ahead of the game (kudos).

Wade lighthearted 3-Time Canadian Natural Bodybuilding Champion, and one of the world’s premier authorities on Natural Nutrition and Training Methods stresses on the importance of enzymes in your diet, especially when consuming a variety of cooked meals– as most of us do.

In his article The Importance of Enzymes in Your Diet Wade explains:

Research has shown that any food that is heated above 118 degrees loses all of its enzymes. In other words, all cooked food is deficient in digestive enzymes.
Processed foods, irradiated foods, foods grown with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or on mineral deficient soils all have minute levels of enzymes that occur naturally.
Our bodies are actually designed to recognize the taste of enzyme and nutrient dense foods by seeking foods that break down easily, and taste sweet. Anyone who has eaten a vegetable or fruit at an organic garden or farm will quickly attest to how different organically grown enzyme rich foods taste.

What are Digestive Enzymes

Digestive enzymes are regularly found in fruits and vegetables. They are required for the breakdown and digestion of food and fall into 4 main digestive enzymes and a whole pile of other enzymes and enzyme precursors. Sucrase and lactase are a couple of familiar ones you may be familiar, mostly because some is unable to digest certain foods because of a lack of that enzyme.

Digestive enzymes break down food into usable material. For example, Enzymes can speed up or catalyze the breakdown of proteins into amino acids. For example, fruits like papaya, kiwifruit, pineapple, fig, and mango are a good source of enzymes that can break down meat proteins. These fruits all contain a type of enzyme called a protease. However, here are the major different types of digestive enzymes are:

•Amylase – breaks down carbohydrates, starches, and sugars which are prevalent in potatoes, fruits, vegetables, and many snack foods
•lactase – breaks down lactose (milk sugars)
• diastase – digests vegetable starch
• sucrase – digests complex sugars and starches
• maltase – digests disaccharides to monosaccharides (malt sugars)
• invertase – breaks down sucrose (table sugar)
• glucoamylase – breaks down starch to glucose
• alpha-glactosidase – facilitates digestion of beans, legumes, seeds,
roots, soy products, and underground stems
• Protease – breaks down proteins found in meats, nuts, eggs, and cheese

• pepsin – breaks down proteins into peptides
• peptidase – breaks down small peptide proteins to amino acids
• trypsin – derived from animal pancreas, breaks down proteins
• alpha – chymotrypsin, an animal-derived enzyme, breaks down proteins
• bromelain – derived from pineapple, breaks down a broad spectrum of proteins, has anti-inflammatory properties, effective over very wide pH range
• papain – derived from raw papaya, broad range of substrates and pH, works well breaking down small and large proteins
• lipase – breaks down fats found in most dairy products, nuts, oils, and meat
• cellulase – breaks down cellulose, plant fiber; not found in humans

Read the rest of the original article here

Adding enzymes to your smoothies, or snacks is a great way to add enzymes to your diet. However, the best time to take enzymes supplements is before and during a meal (sprinkled over it) in order to help the body predigest the foods.

Wade lighheart makes really good enzymes and you can visit his website to learn more about his product. However, If you are looking to supplement enzymes that are great and a bit more affordable here are the enzymes I use.

Do you supplement enzymes and if so what are your favorite ones? Also, what foods are known to contain “natural digestive enzymes’?

7 Incredibly Easy Ways To Revive and Boost Sun Damaged Hair

Last updated on August 28, 2018 By Astrid Leave a Comment

What happened to your lovely hair that is now in the sun damaged hair category?

Your precious hair. You know it has to be healthy, luscious and manageable to feel confident and beautiful year round.

You played in the surf at every chance you had, and never missed an opportunity to play in the pool. But has all that sun and fun left your tresses looking stressed, tired and with damaged summer hair?

At the same time you’ve worn hats, deep conditioned, and “protected it” on those scorching hot days. You are finally ready for school, work or fall fun activities and what happens?

You look in the mirror, and you see dull, damaged, sunburnt hair. No shine, no life, no bounce or vitality…

It’s enough to send the most avid hair care guru into a deep depression and wipe out motivation to keep caring for that great hair or prevent hair loss.

Think you need to spend another 50 hours perfecting your hair? Probably not.

Actually, the solution may be a lot easier than you expect. Using less chemical laden products, flat irons, and harsh hair dyes so your hair could be all you want to feel confident, healthy and well– let’s face it; Sexy! We all know that a bad hair day can dampen anyone’s mood.

So, how can you fix summer damaged here? I am here to share with you natural, simple, practical solutions, plus the expert tips from Madison Reeds top professionals. With these 7 expert tips, you’ll be on your way back to those rich, luscious locks in no time!

1. Yikes, Stripes!

The Problem: Your sun-kissed highlights have turned unnaturally stripey.

The Fix: When your hair has frequent contact with chlorine and saltwater it can lift color. Additionally, and excessive amounts of UV exposure can strip the glossy coating and change the composition shade of your hair. But there’s a secret for touching up sun-saturated highlights: hair gloss. It will return silkiness and shine to your lackluster locks. It works because a gloss seals the hair and cuticle very tightly, which results in a very smooth texture that reflects more light and has a much softer feel to it. Glassa, Madison Reed’s clear gloss, is a great choice for bringing your faded highlights back to life.

Expert Tip : On porous hair, tinted gloss can actually last longer than permanent color because the color absorbs into the hair and works as a stain—all without opening your hair cuticle further, which makes color fade faster.Color Reviving Gloss also doubles as a deep conditioning treatment that makes your hair healthier and able to hold color longer. Read How and When to Use Hair Gloss to learn more!

2. Fading Away!

The Problem: You finally managed to get an all-over color treatment, and it’s fading away… fast!!!

The Fix: It is important to choose a hair color that doesn’t dry or damage your hair is key to color longevity. This is because if your hair is damaged, the color will fade faster. Madison Reed’s healthier hair color is packed with protecting and hair-fortifying ingredients, including argan oil, ginseng root extract, and keratin, It will make your hair much stronger, allowing it to hold color longer.

Expert Tip: If you’re going away on a vacation where you’ll be spending most of your days at the pool or beach, wait a week after you’ve color-treated and apply a deep conditioner. Leave it on for 10-20 minutes, then rinse. This will make your hair less porous, which will then helps prevent damage from the effects of ocean water and chlorine.

3. Splitsville

The Problem: Those pesky split ends are become more noticeable by the minute…

The Fix: Chlorine, Sun, salt water, and wind are all great, except when it comes to keeping split ends from spreading. Oh and don’t forget… you should also avoid over-brushing your hair. Huh? Keeping a messy hair?? Not like that but… Here’s how it works. When you brush your hair, it stretches, causing strain. This strain will most likely and eventually lead to split ends. It’s good to remember that the ends of your hair are the oldest section, and they can break at the slightest bit of strain. Your ends require much more attention and love, so remember to pay special attention to them when you deep moisturize and condition. Try this quick hair mask for deep moisture and shine:

1/2 very ripe avocado (brownish- overripe ones are the best)
3 tbs coconut oil
3 tbs olive oil
1 cup of yogurt (organic preferably)
2 tbs of raw honey

Mix all ingredients, then apply with either a spatula or wear gloves and use your hands. Grab strands, and start from the ends to the roots (if you have oily hair skip that step). Put a plastic cap or a deep conditioning heat cap (I like this one).
Leave in for 20 minutes, wash, and style as usual.
You will immediately notice how amazing your hair feels and looks.
Note: This recipe is for someone with long hair (mid-back). If you have shorter hair, adjust the rations. Enjoy!

Expert Tip: Try not to brush your hair when it’s wet. Always use your fingers or a wide-toothed comb, which will gently glide through the hair, and loosely manage your locks without as much breakage.

4. Fried, Dried… No Bueno!

The Problem: Saltwater and chlorine = very dry and brittle hair.

The Fix: When you go for a dip in the ocean or the pool, all of the moisture is literally gets sucked out of your hair. If you have long hair, in particular, or dry hair in general, can turn into straw-like strands. An essential part of healthy hair is by restoring its natural proteins. So, in order for your locks to return to optimum health, I recommend a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Madison Reed’s Shampoo and Conditioner set is great for hydrating, softening, cleansing, and strengthening hair—with UV protection to prevent further damage. The best part is that it protects your color, too- win-win!

Expert Tip: If you spend a lot of time swimming in the ocean or in a chlorinated pool, make sure to rinse your hair with clear water as soon as possible.

5. Sun Damaged Hair… No Sexy 🙁

The Problem: You stayed away from the ocean and the pool, but your hair got sun damaged anyway.

The Fix: Your hair, just like your skin can age prematurely from hours in the sun, Often times, your hair can take on that unpleasant weathered and worn look from taking on too many UVA/UVB rays, which damages the cuticle (the outside layer of the hair strand). One of the most susceptible types of hair to sun damage is Light-colored and fine hair —dark and coarse hair has more built-in pigment to protect it. That’s why you should keep an eye for the signs of sun damage which include: frizziness, unmanageable textured, discoloration, dry and brittle strands, and unusually quick drying. To fight sun damage, it’s best to use a shampoo and conditioner that offers UVA/UVB protection. Madison Reed’s Shampoo and Conditioner set helps to cleanse, hydrate, soften, and strengthen hair, and it includes lupine flower protein, which offers natural UVA and UVB protection.

Expert Tip: Wearing a hat, or cap is the best way to protect your hair from sun damage. Plus, it can help protect against heat stroke and sun-induced headaches. If you’re a fashion rebel, you can also wear a bandana or scarf that coordinates with your bathing suite ha!

6. Lifelesstown

The Problem: You were too busy during your beach vacation so… too many hours in the pool + tons of seawater = Your hair is literally dead.

The Fix: If you don’t protect your hair, the sun can actually change your hair color and texture by drying it out,” says Frédéric Fekkai colorist Daniel Sanchez, who has worked with clients such as Kate Hudson. The sun can actually bring unwanted warmth to the hair, on Brunettes, and on blondes, the sun can make the color fade faster and create severe dryness.”

According to this article. Those without color-treated hair aren’t off the hook, either. As Daniel Sanchez explains, “uncolored hair still breaks down from chlorine, sun, salt and the cuticle becomes damaged creating a rough, dull outside on your hair which then doesn’t reflect light and shine in the same manner.

Expert Tip: As usual wear, a hat or you can also use some of natural sun protection products. Here are some of the best product for sun damaged hair. I personally love and use this amazing Argan oil protector or my favorite Shea Moisture Fruit Fusion Spray Not only do these oil-based detangling sprays moisturizes hair, but also add a shield that fights heat from both the sun and styling tools.

7. Change in Texture

The Problem: You spent way too many hours under the sun without any type of protection or even up in a bun, now brittle hair is what you’ve got.

The Fix: Change in texture can occur for a myriad of reasons, but can be exacerbated by spending long periods of time in the sun. In a nutshell, the sun’s UV rays disturb the top layer of your hair, also known as the “cuticle.”Once the cuticle is disturbed and no longer lays flat, the inner layer called the “cortex” is then exposed, leaving it susceptible to damage. In short, added protection beside your natural product lineup is essential!

Expert Tip: If you haven’t already, incorporate hats into your wardrobe as mentioned before, and use a natural leave-in conditioner, hair protecting oils or mists, and don’t forget to stay hydrated.
