Vitamin D and Breast Cancer Controversy

© Brenda Coffee.  All rights reserved.

Did you know that the main purpose of vitamin D is to maintain required calcium to keep our segments strong? or did you know vitamin D peuvent or can't, have a relationship to the breast?For women with and without breast cancer, the controversy of vitamin D is a énigme.Nous we need more information.

To begin, in a 2008 study reported by the American Cancer Institute, women with the lowest of vitamin D in their diagnosis of cancer of the breast, levels had almost double the risk of their disease progresses, compared to women with "adequate" level of vitamin d. fait that means women without breast cancer, who are interested in preventing a metastasis (should they ever get breast cancer), take vitamin D and if yes, how?

Secondly, the same study said the survival rate of women with estrogen receptor negative breast cancer, which is generally more aggressive, was not related to their vitamin D levels. Other scientists are quick to say that, although there are many published on vitamin D and its relationship with the breast cancer research, the findings are debatable.

While this study means for women who have or have not breast cancer? Many doctors ask patients if they take calcium and vitamin D, but none of your physicians have never ordered a blood test to check your level of vitamin D?What are "adequate" levels of vitamin D? Most doctors even know how much?

Here's what we know about vitamin D and breast cancer: If you take aromatase inhibitors, such as Arimidex, it is particularly important to get enough calcium and vitamin D .As stated in my oncologist, calcium works in tandem with vitamin D to prevent our OS "turn to mush."It is also important to bear in mind that too much vitamin D may be harmful, nausea, vomiting, constipation, weaknesses and causing heart rate changes.If you are over 50 years, the Mayo Clinic recommends you take IU of 400 to 600 per day, and in General, the upper limit of the vitamin D is of 2 000 IU per day.

Vitamin D in the form of pills, small amounts of vitamin D are naturally present in oily fish such as salmon, tuna and mackerel, as well as certain cereals, orange juice and milk products are enriched in vitamin D therefore .for, be a smart buyer.Check labels and if you can achieve for products with added vitamin d

We know also the Sun is a natural way that our bodies to make its own d vitamine.Si, however, you do one of gene BRCA, too Sun may increase your risk of melanoma and other cancers of the peau.Même if you are not positive BRCA, long-term exposure to UV radiation can cause skin cancer, more aging. I do not expose to the Sun, as a lazy big ole lizard and justify saying, "I get my vitamin d."If you are on a sunny or cloudy day, use a sunscreen and re-apply it often.

Then there is the debate on the beds against natural light where it all stop sun tanning. ?

5 Tips for buying a bra after breast cancer.

© Maidenform.  All rights reserved.

The only thing than buying a new pair of jeans worst is to buy a new bra. I remember when my mother took me to a store to buy my first bra. A matronly dough hands and abrupt manner salesclerk asked me to disrobe size, and then went to measure my barely there, prepubescent breasts.If this was not bad enough, my mother hovered in the fitting room door to make comments, as "bad peu.Elle got a figure as a yardstick. she can never become a decent pair of breasts ."

For most of us, breast by buying a new bra continues to be a frustrating experience, especially if we suffered various procedures of cancer. Here are a few things to keep in mind that could purchase a bra somewhat easier post breast cancer:

1 Find a bra professional installer not be embarrassed to see your breasts. bra editors have seen the good, the bad, and the laid, and what you think is bad, will probably save you five stars in your bra software.on installer weekly, BRA assemblers all see: women with three breasts - I know personally a woman with three breasts - for transsexuals who began taking hormones and are there to buy their first "training bra." So If your mastectomy can be a big deal to you, this is not an issue for your Installer.

2. You have made through the processing. you can do anything! Do not give the breast any more of your power has already affirmé.Portez your scars proudly. They have you been stronger. They are your badges of survival. You've browsed through the Valley of the shadow of death and nothing, certainly not to buy a bra, must now you intimidate .

3. No one is more critical of our bodies we are.Some worm e n, same high paid templates and cover girls have body perfect, which is usually what makes good models. They have some feature, slightly out of sync whereby, makes them distinctive.La most of us have a larger chest feet aspect that the inverted nipples, other or nipples that look like landing on a feeder of hummingbird.Combien of us sites have a perfect nose, very or fairly-shaped shell ears? The breasts are the same.No single step into a single body and fixate on elle.Nous are our feet. we are not our breasts .We are all - thinking, loving, compassionate woman and compassion begins at home, so cut yourself a break. a beautiful woman is more "spirit" as the body .

Each year 250,000 women, USA only, are diagnosed with breast cancer, with 2.5 million U.S. survivors.This leads one to seven or eight women in their lives, to receive breast cancer.Granted, we are not other talking about women who buy a bra again 2,749,999, talking about you, but chances are pretty good woman in the following editing room is also a breast cancer survivor.

Buy at least a sexy bra, even if don't have a partner who will be seen and often arms purchase .i can't tell you how many women I see to the gym which bears the same dowdy shapeless, BRA yellow grayish, what they bought five years in the recherche.Même one twenty years might look like a bag of potatoes in a bra that .j ' have a few months after my first mastectomy, I am bought a bra red velvet for Valentine and me it bear each occasion.Se rid of the notion of "record" it for good.Good is every day you are alive, so bear this beautiful bra at the grocery store.

I've dreamed I was free in my bra Maidenform cancer... and I am!

Hypnosis and breast cancer.

If there is a way to transform something negligible as a major source of concern, I find it. With precision laser - like that I can turn a simple stage IV melanoma blackhead, while with a likely candidate to be next woman list bulldozing of James, all in time to examine the imperfections in question in the light of the best. As my mother, I am a worrywart champion, but unlike my mother, I work hard to deal with my concern sometimes paralyzing. How, you ask? Hypnosis.

I love hypnosis. more than 20 years, hypnosis has helped me relieve a lot of my fears and anxiety. It helped me to death, disease and dread.Not conducted by a certified clinical hypnotherapist, hypnosis bares no resemblance to stage the performers who obtain volunteers of the audience to believe that they were abducted by aliens from the planet Zeon.Simplement, real hypnosis keeps your mind occupied for a certified hypnotherapist awareness speaks to your unconscious mind of questions you want address. anytime you have free will. Your unconscious knows that you can manage and what is in your interest.Nobody does will you do everything that you do not want to do while you are unconscious hypnose.Votre will not let them.

Hypnosis works for the most part, everyone and can reduce the fear, anxiety, even sleep problems and hot flashes , but it is particularly effective for cancer patients newly diagnosed, survivors and those with the réapparition.Avant the mastectomies and surgical reconstruction and before and after each of my chemotherapies, I used hypnosis. The psychologist that use has been recommended by my family doctor and is affiliated with a local hospital. make sure that you're dealing only with someone who is certified and experienced in hypnosis.Our sessions we talk about my concerns, if it is the duration of surgery, anaesthesia, my recovery, etc., then it inserts a cassette tape into a recorder and we began the process of hypnosis. At the end of each session my doctor gives me the cassette tape that we made in his Office, so I can listen to as often as I want.

After one of my breast cancer surgeries, the anesthesiologist stopped by my room to tell me that it does not have to manage as many anesthesia as he had planned to keep me at the required surgeon.The anesthesiologist has been very surprised by cette.Je told it not, I've been surprised because I had been listening to a tape of hypnosis custom daily for two weeks .the band said my body would begin to relax on a skeletal and muscular level and should produce its own pain suppressors, keep me as having anesthesia and for faster recovery post-surgical .the ' agreed anesthesiologist hypnosis had done both of these things, for me, and he wanted more people could benefit from hypnosis. , I never took any after one of my eight surgeries pain meds and I never was never nauseated after one of my eight chemotherapies.

Nuts peuvent fight against breast cancer.

We have all heard the expression ""an Apple a day is the doctor," but did you nuts can also contribute to the fight against the breast? A recent study on mice, presented at the April 2009 American Association for Cancer Research 100th annual meeting, found that by adding the human equivalent of two ounces of walnuts for their daily food, impact and tumors in mice breast size was greatly reduced."

A reason for this reduction of growth of the tumor may be due to the fact that the nuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids: antioxidants and phytosterols. Phytosterols are binding to the estrogen receptor.Since many breast cancers are positive estrogen, which means that they are powered by estrogen, it is estimated that phytosterols in nuts may slow the growth of estrogen-related breast cancer .Tandis researchers emphasize there have been no specific studies on the effects of the nuts on the human breast we know a healthy diet of fruit, vegetables, grains, seeds and nuts may prevent many cancers, diabetes and heart disease.Thus, instead of reaching for the potato chips and cookies when you want a snack, how a handful of nuts?

Each afternoon I go outside with my dogs, Sam and Goldie and soak sunlight - dealt paraben-free sunscreen - and have an Apple and a handful of nuts when that time my mother tongue is hard at work, try to dislodge the last vestige little nut sandwiched between my teeth arrière.Pardon me while I reach for the Floss.

The constipation and breast cancer.

It seems that Oprah and Dr. Oz made acceptable to talk openly about the stool, or the absence thereof, so... here... is going to will talk about caca.

For cancer patients and anyone interested in staying healthy or reduce their risk of recidivism, maintaining a healthy immune system is first importance.Le immune system is one of the means of our body bat, disease, cold and the flu. by keeping your conjure moving on a daily basis is one of the best ways to have a healthy immune system to rid your body of toxins.However, if you are constipated, it is more difficult for your immune system to do its work.

Have you ever noticed that after a meal of beef and potato, you become lethargic, same sleeping? it is because your body has do additional work to digest and treat this as unlikely that steak will be always with you days, even weeks after your small intestine absorbs nutrients and passes then other waste lourd.Plus meal hardware to your colon for their elimination final. If the waste is allowed to stay in your colon for long periods of time it will literally rot! this is not the way to protect your body from harmful bacteria.One way to tell how long your food has been in your colon is by how often you poop: more you faster food poop browses your colon and becoming the strongest will be your immune system.

Sometimes the cancer therapy, stress, medications, surgery, change of regime, lack of water and reduced mobility can cause severe constipation.Chemotherapy overstates the constipation and diarrhea, regardless of the condition you are naturally prone to a. not to wait until you are constipated or have diarrhea to more than one day to take action. My doctor suggested over-the-counter medicines or an enema bag filled equally warm milk and MELASSE.La repair it worked immediately.If you cannot resolve constipation on yourself, you could wound up in the emergency room where they can have to manually dig stool affected your anus.Je do not see what either more embarrassing, but obviously it is not a rare event.

Now let's talk be proactive and remain regular.In addition to drink, prune juice and eat lots of fibre, immediately after I home each chemotherapy, I took a laxative for constipation and each day until that I had a bowel movement.After my system worked on his own without drugs.

Good nutrition plays an essential role in the maintenance of your immune system and your stool in good optical in the form of fruit and vegetables, bread, whole grain and rice, oats, crushed wheat, with lots of water and exercise, digéré food aid marche.Fibre move through the your colon and out of your corps.En also that you can consider drinking one of these drinks probiotic dairy balance all bacteria, good and bad, in your digestive system .i think they sensationnel.Une a day makes me regular as clockwork. (who is probably more you want to know about me).

Breast cancer, are in denial?

The other day , I met a woman whose mother, sister and aunt had all been diagnosed with cancer of the breast.When I asked if she had taken the genetic test, would he say if she had inherited the gene that could make him a candidate for the breast cancer she says, "." I'll just to leave it to God... "More I eat healthy."Good afternoon!! It's a woman who has clearly not gene survival.

It is always shocking to me that it has no desire to know that if it is higher of a breast cancer risk, perhaps I should say the prevention of breast cancer or from the gene to his daughter.Knowledge is power small friends. Oh that I would have given having this knowledge before I was diagnosed with cancer of the breast.He had four years after my diagnosis of breast cancer when I discovered I made one of the breast cancer genes; I have no hesitation a thousandth of a second to say "take other chest now!"My decision to make a preventive mastectomy has been proactive in my fight against breast cancer, and it was empowering.This mastectomy was on my term, not the breast.

Even if it is not a history of breast cancer in your family (I_had_no_family_history_but_I_carried_the_BRAC2_gene) Please consider getting a BracAnalysis to see if you carry the BRCA1 and gene BRCA2.This is simple: a simple blood test.Most schemes health insurance pay for génétiques.Il tests can save your life or the life of someone you aimez.Ne're not one of those women who have the "hear without ill, see no evil, a lot of talk about" gene. of intelligent: stop breast cancer before it starts.For more information, go to Myriad laboratories genetic, http://www.myriad.com/

Breast dirty little secret of cancer

Did you that almost 25 per cent of the Mari people leave their spouses after they have received a diagnosis of breast cancer?Statistics say that many of these marriages are in difficulty, initially, although when the roles are reversed, only three percent of women leave their makes me mari.Il me request what part of "in sickness and in health" men step mindful?

I know of a man who left his wife after his diagnosis.Not only does is that it abandons her, he left their son aged 10 years and 13-year-old daughter to become a granting of primary care. What kind of man made their mother ?What kind of message is that he sends his son? An other breast I know husband was that therefore any chemotherapy of his wife during it actually him take an aspirin and "snap to it.."

OK, for most men were raised is not be caregivers, or they want their wives, mothers to take care of them and the small friends.In addition, they may be afraid to acknowledge their mortality and yours, and they may be afraid of how breast cancer will affect their life sexuelle.Notez I said "their" sexual life.

More boys dream of becoming the hero: men who make people from burning buildings or record a buddy in a guerre.Pour area most of us heroes are ordinary people that escalation in times of crisis and do what is good for their family. under the breast cancer caregivers, men have to wade through the smoke and fire or dodge enemy bullets. However, it is an opportunity for them to become a hero; help not only to a stranger in need, but the person that they have promised before God to be responsible to death to make party - their wife.

Men... you would like to be a hero?Then perform is not about you. is about getting your wife and the family in this crisis with love, support and optimism .If they can count on you who can?Don't become one of these statistics that leaving wife them and think that they can find another woman and become his hero, because you can't pas.Il is vous.Et if it sounds as I am hard on some of... get you it.

I believe that most husbands are good to show and tell their special wives how they are; how much they are appreciated and adorés. Caring for her even if she has a breast cancer is a chance to show your love of ways to your family, and it will not ever forget.You are the intangible support strengthens its immune system, its hopes and allows him to one day to the other .in some cases, you can make the difference between life and death literal.

No one says that it will be easy, but you have given your family, and those around you a role model, they meet and take forever.Your strength, mountainous inheritance if you feel strong or not, will show them how to deal with other difficult times, they will certainly face. you will be a héros.Un Angel without wings.

"Having a life" versus "cancer."

Too we leave our survival mindset be determined by the phase of our cancer, even if many of us know that prove 'step' case is not always an accurate predictor of survival.Take Lance Armstrong who, in 1996, was cancer testicular diagnosed with stage IV which had earned his lungs, abdomen and brain. its doctors him less than a percentage of 3 chance of survival, and we all know verse and chapter of this story! if Lance Armstrong had adopted the chance his doctor gave him, it is quite possible that it would not have survived.

Lance Armstrong has crossed the ravaging treatment protocols rather prescribed by his doctors, and three years later has not only won perhaps the most grueling sporting event in the world: the tour de France - but beat its nearest competitor in 7 minutes 37 seconds. now is someone with scene now! Has a life to lead, bikes to ride, new and different objectives to achieve.Not only there refuse to become a statistic, victory paved the way for all those who come after him to seek and to survive.His life is one of courage and determination and her mother said, "make every obstacle" an opportunity.

Beans can cut the risk of breast cancer.

Did you know women that eat beans at least twice a week to have a risk reduction significantly from obtaining a than women breast cancer who do not eat beans? I knew that, but I would have become a bean if I thought that it would have reduced my risk of breast cancer. Since I couldn't do it, now I eat lots of beans in a bid to reduce my risk of reoffending.

My friend and a nutritionist, Barbra Swanson, ND, RD, LD, once called itself the "Bean Queen." In a video for the BreastCancerSisterhood.com, Barbra rattles off types of beans as soon friend of Forrest Gump, Bubba, enfeebled outside flat shrimp: Pinto Beans, black beans, garbanzo beans, chickpeas, beans adzuki, split peas, lentils, peas black embryonnés, red beans, frijoles, green beans, kidney, wax beans, white beans, marine beans cannellini beans beans.Barbra has not really list all beans, but she knows good food to eat and pourquoi.Depuis my diagnosis, I have learnt a lot Barbra and try to implement some of its wisdom each day.

Because the beans are economic, each culture in history ate beans, but let's not overlook the nutrients of beans. beans are an important source of protein, B vitamins and iron, more beans are filling. Beans are also high in fiber and fibre links to circulating estrogen, which is important if you have been diagnosed with breast estrogen positive cancer.Why? for excess estrogen is excreted in the intestines (Yes, I want to talk about poop, once again), and if it sits there long enough, estrogen is réabsorbé in the body. In other words, since the fiber cleans the your intestines and you reports regularly, estrogen is not stay long enough to be of major concern.

In addition, beans are low on the glycemic index, which means that they are not rich in sugar. It is also good news for those with chest estrogen positive cancer.High Glycemic Foods cause our body produce insulin, which promotes the growth of cells and inflammation and can undermine the strength of our body to cancer.People that primarily eat beans and a power plant-based have the lowest risk for cancer, heart disease and diabetes in the world.Moreover, that if you had the estrogen positive breast cancer, you may want to stay away from chickpeas, soya beans, garbanzo, marine, kidney and pinto beans fava, because they contain phytoestrogens, one estrogen-like substance that acts as a natural estrogen in our body.

Even if you have not received a diagnosis of breast cancer, you consider substituting beans rather than meat at a meal by semaine.Si you are concerned about "gases", accordingly to eat beans and adding more fibre optic to your diet, add them gradually, or... get top ! Gaz, or breast cancer? it is not a difficult choice.

Feet of breast cancer

This week, I had the pleasure of meeting Taryn Rose, surgeon orthopaedic and founder of Taryn Rose shoes.In 1998, Mr. Rose has changed the footwear industry by creating a line of comfortable, yet beautiful, handcrafted shoes. I always thought "comfortable shoes" as being awkward-search or thick-soled athletic shoes orthopaedic shoes, but Taryn Rose shoes are anything but orthopaedic research.As we spoke, I suggested that she considers marketing for millions of women, like me, who have had breast cancer and the need for comfortable shoes because of peripheral neuropathy.

Simply, it means of neuropathy have been a sort of damage to peripheral nerves that control the feelings in our arms and legs. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, diabetes and alcohol, are just some things that may cause lesions nerveuses resulting from numbness or a feeling of "ants" burning, weakness that made walking painful cramps and, after a few minutes, frankly unbearable.

Not all patients with cancer develop a neuropathy and the American Society of Clinical Oncology, says much fully recover over time.While many of the symptoms that I listed are worst scenarios, don't let fear of neuropathy stop you taking your oncologist processing recommends. I was one of those who developed the neuropathy in chemotherapy. Although most of my symptoms have disappeared since, I have always sweet numbness in my fingers and toes, more it feels sometimes as electric shocks are shooting down my leg. leads me to the shoe thing.Since chemotherapy, I've brought comfortable shoes the temps.Ils helped my neuropathy, gave me better balance and made running easy. Many of these shoes were Taryn Rose.My Favorites are called Fierce and dancer.

Even without neuropathy many of us, especially us mature experience problems with our feet and can wear is Carrie Bradshaw Sex and the City shoes, or may bring them only for short periods of time.My girlfriend, Gayle, called "special event" shoes one another friend called shoes "sit and sip".J ' love this terme.Il evokes a pretty nice South with honey entered his voice that says, "why Yes .j ' would love another Julep currency... as you walk on here and bring to me!"

Can you imagine Carrie Bradshaw with neuropathy? in the next sex and the City movie, I think Taryn Rose should be the designer shoe of choice. (After all, last season ended with the revelation of Samantha, she had cancer of the breast.Because Samantha character was always so immediate on everything, it say on "something shoe" and sing the praises of Taryn Rose.

Donc Taryn, Samantha - throughout the world the breast cancer women-perhaps you can give your next line of shoes as strength, Survivor and four girls and one.

Many of you just start your cancer journey and feel scared and alone, wondering if someone else is there who knows how you feel.Oui.Je remember RAM that is not able to think of anything else, wondering if I would be here next year or the year of after that. I was terrified, affolé and depressed.

I remember cowering in my car in the parking lot of PetSmart, crying hysterically, unable to pull myself together to go and buy food or on the highway and dog house disk .j ' have been desperate to wonder if the PetSmart Lady had no experience with cancer and could empathize with me, perhaps put his arm around me and tell me which would be good. I looked him get in his car and away from lecteur.Elle seemed so carefree... so normal and I couldn't remember a time when I didn't know this of despair control as the sky was falling, and it would miss everyone but me so that I can bring your fears, I can give you hope telling you I am now in a great place in my life.Each time that I say this cancer was a gift, and I heard the other survivors say the same thing, my husband looks like to me I've lost my mind, but it is true.

Tara Parker-Pope, although blog writer for the NYTimes.com, the cancer.I survivor stories collection was spent the morning reading their words and came to the conclusion that for the most part, cancer survivors have two things in common: recognition and a new found zest for life.Here are some of the words and phrases I've drawn over 600 common stories.

• Life now is a combination of brilliance and gratitude.
• The gift of cancer has changed my life.
I now look at life through the grateful eyes •.
• More calm and completed over end.
• Life is not the same; it is so much better.
• Developed cancer, the better in my family and me.
• I myself more.
• I watch my family with addition of perspective.
• I fear death and death is more.
• The darkest hours and scariest my life turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
• I love my life!

Cancer is terrifying, but it is also a life changing.I say step we have deliberately chosen cancer, but as a mechanism of adaptation instinctual, we dug deeply for our forces and found cancer donations we brought. you are at a crossroads and many of the changes you engage and roads you take are a choix.Choisir wisely, more expensive, and "trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean is not on your own understanding; and the ways of your recognition, and it will make your right paths."

Causes of breast cancer, I cannot eat me what?

If there had been a peanut butter, 12-step program a few years ago, I would have found a meeting, plopped myself down in front and said, line "HI.Mon name is Brenda, and I am a peanut-aholic butter." My habit was so bad, my son and my husband could buy their own jars and hide me because that I have broken out at least a large jar per week.No claim to a sandwich for me .j ' he ate spoon after the spoon, directly from the jar when standing on the kitchen counter file.

After my diagnosis of breast cancer I consulted a nutritionist and learned about the various sources of protein and decided there was a chance that I was not a peanut-aholic butter after all.My hearty consumption of peanut butter could be my body of screaming for multiple proteins. so my shame has been lifted!I learned also peanuts were high on the list of foods containing of phytoestrogens and not a good idea if I wanted my risk of reoffending. Because the phytoestrogens are thought to bind estrogen receptors in our body, and because my breast cancer has been fuelled by the estrogen, of I went cold on peanut butter and I am proud to say I did not get a spoonful from. I, however, found gross almond butter.

Unlike the peanut butter, almond butter gross contains no preservatives or added ingredients and less hydrogenated oils, no salted or sugar.Almond butter is full of monounsaturated fats, which are good for your heart and blood sugar control, more more calcium, iron and vitamin E that my "Type A" self comme peanut butter is prepared to do there, I took this a step further and is discovery became a connoisseurs who decided better almond butter gross was English and cannot be bought on the Internet. The problem was, at the time wherever I translated English books in US dollars and VAT and delivery, my weekly fix was a jar of $ 30.A small pot. If this was not enough, bad I recently discovered a new terrible twist to my butter nut saga.

Some phytoestrogenic foods may indeed be protection by linking to our listeners of estrogen, thus blocking estrogen, which looks like a good thing, but no one really knows those who is food good phytoestrogen and which are bad.Oh, but wait... the plot thickens. some experts suggest almonds can be as bad for me than peanuts.That may, or may mean not that they are on the list of phytoestrogen bad, but not knowing not, once again, I spent about a beloved nut butter cold foods

Addictions are things delicate: you start small, only a spoon, or both, and before that you know, you've consumed a pot any less of a semaine.Où it stop? Will I spend addicting things more, and what could be?This is how abusers become thieves, sale of goods stolen to complement their cravings? sometimes I long for the girl who has eaten of jelly and bean sandwiches and peanut butter soup Campbell during the reading of it Nancy Drew.I am really happy that she does not know of groundnut-aholics and phytoestrogens butter.

Did you know that dark chocolate moderate amounts could play a role in cancer prevention?Sally Scroggs, MS, RD, LD in the center of the University of Texas MD Anderson cancer prevention compounds found in chocolate act as antioxidants and have been shown to help combat the damage that can lead to the growth of the tumour. a natural sources more cell concentrates of these antioxidants is in the bean of cocoa - the basis for all the chocolate.

Dark chocolate, at least 70% pure cocoa, is not only rich in antioxidants, it reduced sugar in the blood, blood pressure and cholesterol and is an excellent source of potassium and magnesium. Black chocolate has also been shown to work as an antidepressant: Phyenylethylamine, a compound of cocoa, increased levels of serotonin and dopamine, stimulates the nervous system and even raises libido.

Because it is still a calorie-dense foods that can be high in fat, we shouldn't ' t give us permission to eat dark chocolate as much as we want that.However square daily, or an ounce, cacao dark chocolate can be a good addition to our diet food.It assess. let the melt in the mouth and think about what you eat. If you are a breast cancer survivor, plan to avoid most of your favorite brands, even if they "" breast cancer awareness."" They are not only poor in cocoa - antioxidants - but more calories, sugar and unhealthy fats.

Browse chocolate at least 70% or content high of cocoa.Since 70% cocoa contains no sugar and milk, such as more traditional, chocolate chocolate bars Black cocoa may take a little getting used to, but if you're like me, you'll soon decadently delicious. My favorite brand is Alter Eco Fair of the 85% dark chocolate ™. It is organic, gluten free, free soy has no EMULSIFIANTS and can be found in many whole foods.Since Alter Eco fair ™ buys directly from farming families in Bolivia and pay fair prices, we also support a better way of life for them and their communities.

Did I say James prefers Brown and white food: steak, coffee, vanilla ice and chocolate?The most surprising thing about James and chocolate...?He loves the 73% cocoa! I know!Mr slice and loves cooking chocolate chip cookie man black cocoa, well as I do not think that it hear me a little just now when I said it was full of caffeine.It is 8: 00 am, and he had two squares of chocolate .Whoa...
