Medical News:

In this groundbreaking randomized, control trial published in Frontiers of Aging, several simple interventions were evaluated in their effectiveness at reducing cancer. Supplementation with Vitamin D3 (2,000 IU), supplementation with Omega-3 fish oil (1,000mg), and a simple home strength exercise program were each shown to reduce cancer by 24%, 30%, and 26% respectively in seniors over age 70. And combining all three of these simple measures reduced cancer by 61% over just a 5-year period.

Favorite Recipes:

Do you think that your kids and/or spouse won’t eat kale? Well think again… my kids often request that I make this beautiful and delicious salad. And my husband who claims to hate kale, always says, “that was a pretty good salad”! This is a favorite side at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The secret is to use lacinato kale which I get at our local Publix supermarket. Lacinato kale is much more tender and easier to prepare since the stalks don’t need to be removed.
