Hints for Wellness
Published on 12 July 2008 - 7:53
If you are a post menopausal woman, it may not be a good idea to drink alcohol every day. Women in this age group, who averaged one to two drinks per day, were 32 % more likely to develop the most common form of breast cancer. For younger women, I would suggest being very careful.
Physical exercise, even 20 minutes per day–this includes all activates– improves our mental health. This is a good thing. Depression and anxiety respond well to physical activity–get busy and stay well.
A recent report by the nonprofit Organic Center (organic-center.org) found that on average, organic plant based foods are 25% more nutrient-dense than conventionally raised foods. Since organic foods are pricy (as are all foods now) choose the foods which, when not organic have the most pesticide residue: peaches, apples, sweet bell pepper, celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, lettuce, imported grapes, pears, spinach, and potatoes. Stay away from the pesticides–they are not a good thing.
