			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Reducing saturated fat is the single most important dietary<br />
change you can make to cut blood cholesterol. Used as a<br />
replacement for meat and cheese, soy foods help your heart<br />
by slashing the amount of saturated fat that you eat<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">The Smart, Delicious Alternative<span id="more-1926"></span></span></strong></span><br />
<strong>Not familiar with soy foods?<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Eat some today</span></strong><br />
 The basics include tofu, soy nuts, soy flour, and enriched<br />
soymilk. Great-tasting, protein-rich meat alternatives<br />
include soy sausage, and breaded cutlets and nuggets that<br />
taste like chicken. Crumbled soy &#8211; an alternative to ground<br />
meat &#8211; works well in chilli, burritos, lasagna, soups, and<br />
casseroles. Add tofu to chilli, eggs, or casseroles. It<br />
absorbs the flavor of whatever you&#8217;re cooking. You&#8217;ll find<br />
many soy products in the produce section of the supermarket.<br />
What about soy supplements? Research shows that isoflavone<br />
supplements alone don&#8217;t work. To lower cholesterol, you need<br />
the whole soybean with its unique protein, phytates, and<br />
isoflavones, which may all act together.<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Get This Much<br />
</strong></span>The FDA recommends getting at least 25 grams of soy protein<br />
each day. Consuming 25 grams of soy protein daily lowers<br />
high cholesterol.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">The High Fiber Solution</span></strong></span><br />
Except for your morning wheat bran, no food is more<br />
fiber-rich than beans. And beans are especially high in<br />
cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber. Eating a cup of any type<br />
of beans a day &#8211; particularly kidney, navy, pinto, black,<br />
chickpea, or butter beans &#8211; can lower cholesterol by as much<br />
as 10 percent in 6 weeks.<br />
Soluble fiber forms a gel in water that helps bind acids<br />
and cholesterol in the intestinal tract, preventing their<br />
re-absorption into the body. This may be why soluble fibre<br />
helps to lower cholesterol levels (and decreases the risk of<br />
heart disease). Soluble fibre is also found in oats and oat<br />
bran, barley, brown rice, beans, apples, carrots, and most<br />
other fruits and vegetables.<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: small;">Eat Some Today<br />
</span></strong>Keep your cupboards stocked with canned beans of all kinds:<br />
black, white, kidney, fat- free refined, etc. (as well as<br />
instant bean soups). You&#8217;ll always have the makings of a<br />
delicious, healthful dinner on hand. Beans and protein and<br />
fibre to any dish and can be uses in salads, stuffed baked<br />
potatoes, veggie chilli, or pureed for sandwich spreads. And<br />
since they come in cans, beans are handy to use. But<br />
remember to rinse canned beans first &#8211; they&#8217;re packed in a<br />
high- sodium liquid.<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: small;">Get This Much</span><br />
</strong>Eat beans five or mor times a week. For the greatest health<br />
benefits, both the FDA and the National Cancer Institute<br />
recommend that adults get 25 to 30 g. of fiber each day.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Cholesterol- Lowering Salmon</span></strong></span><br />
<strong>Amazing Heart- Friendly Fat<br />
</strong>Research has shown certain types of fats actually protect<br />
against high cholesterol. Omega-3 fatty acids &#8211; found in<br />
salmon and other cold-water fish &#8211; help lower &#8220;bad&#8221; LDL<br />
cholesterol, raise &#8220;good&#8221; HDL cholesterol, and lower<br />
triglycerides.<br />
Salmon is an excellent source of protein because it is high<br />
in omega-3 fatty acids called EPA and DHA that are good for<br />
your heart while low in cholesterol and saturated fat.<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: small;">Eat Some Today</span></strong><br />
To get the most omega-3s, choose salmon, white albacore<br />
tuna canned in water, rainbow trout, anchovies, herring,<br />
sardines, and mackerel.<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: small;">Get This Much<br />
</span></strong>The American Heart Association now recommends eating at<br />
least two servings of fish every week, preferably fatty<br />
fish, by far the richest sources of fish-oil omega 3s.<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Cholesterol -Lowering Avocado<br />
</span></span>Healthy Fats, Lower Cholesterol<br />
</strong>Avocados are a great source of heart-healthy<br />
monounsaturated fat? A type of fat that may actually help to<br />
raise levels of HDL (&#8221;good&#8221; cholesterol) while lowering of<br />
LDL (&#8221;bad&#8221; cholesterol). And these delectable green orbs<br />
pack more of the cholesterol-smashing beta -sitosterol (a<br />
beneficial plant-based fat) than any other fruit.<br />
Beta-sitosterol reduces the amount of cholesterol absorbed<br />
from food. So the combination of beta-sitosterol and<br />
monounsaturated fats makes avocado an excellent cholesterol<br />
buster.<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: small;">Eat Some Today</span></strong><br />
Avocado is a bit high in calories. Your best strategy: Use<br />
this luscious veggie in place of another high-fat food or<br />
condiment.<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: small;">Get This Much</span></strong><br />
The American Heart Association recommends that you get up<br />
to 15 percent of your daily calories from monounsaturated<br />
fats like those contained in avocados, but some heart<br />
experts recommned an even greater percentage. (In an 1,800-<br />
calorie diet, 15 percent translates into 30 grams per day.)<br />
FYI: A whole avocado has about 300 calories and 30 g fat.<br />
 <br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Cholesterol-Lowering Garlic<br />
</span></span>The Ancient Herb for Heart Health</strong><br />
For thousand of years, garlic has been used in nearly every<br />
culture in the world, and not just to repel evil. Its<br />
nutritional value and flavor have made it a kitchen staple.<br />
Ancient Egyptians ate garlic for stamina; in modern times,<br />
garlic has been found to lower cholesterol, prevent blood<br />
clots, reduce blood pressure, and protect against<br />
infections. Now research has found that it helps stop<br />
artery-clogging plaque at its earliest stage (called<br />
nanoplaque). How? Garlic keeps individual cholesterol<br />
particles from sticking to artery walls.<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: small;">Eat Some Today<br />
</span></strong>Next time you hit the supermarket, pick up a tub of freshly<br />
garlic cloves, and challenge yourself to make sure it&#8217;s gone<br />
before the &#8220;best by&#8221; date. Chop up and toss on pizza, in<br />
soups, or on side dishes.<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: small;">Get This Much</span></strong><br />
To reap benefits, try for 2 to 4 fresh cloves a day.<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Cholesterol-Lowering Spinach</span></span></strong><br />
<strong>The Heart Healthy Green Giant</strong><br />
Spinach contains lots of lutein, the sunshine-yellow<br />
pigment found in dark green leafy vegetables and egg yolks.<br />
Lutein already has a &#8220;golden&#8221; reputation for guarding<br />
against age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of<br />
blindness. Now research suggests that just a ½ cup of a<br />
lutein -rich food daily also guards against heart attacks by<br />
helping artery walls &#8220;shrug off&#8221; cholesterol invaders that<br />
cause clogging.<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: small;">Eat Some Today</span></strong><br />
Look for 9-oz bags of baby spinach leaves that you can pop<br />
in the microwave (ready in 3minutes). Top with 2 tablespoons<br />
of Parmesan and 1 tablespoon of toasted sunflower seeds. Add<br />
a roll, and you&#8217;ve got a heavenly low-cal dinner for one.<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: small;">Get This Much<br />
</span></strong>Spinach is the richest source of lutein. Shoot for a ½ cup<br />
a day.<br />
 <br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Cholesterol-Lowering Tea<br />
</span></span>The Hot and Cool Superdrink<br />
</strong>Tea, whether it&#8217;s iced or hot, delivers a blast of<br />
antioxidant compounds. Studies prove that tea helps to keep<br />
blood vessels relaxed and prevent blood clots. Flavonoids,<br />
the major antioxidants in tea, have been shown to prevent<br />
the oxidation of LDL cholesterol that leads to plaque<br />
formation on artery walls. These powerful antioxidants may<br />
even reduce cholesterol and even lower blood pressure.<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: small;">Drink Some Today</span></strong><br />
Enjoy a cup of hot or iced tea. Although convenience iced<br />
teas still have high antioxidant levels, most homemade iced<br />
tea (both hot-brewed and fridge teas) have been more<br />
antioxidants. So, if you want the very max, make your own.<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: small;">Get This Much<br />
</span></strong>A cup of hot tea actually contains more antioxidants than a<br />
serving of any fruit or vegetable. Both green and black teas<br />
have high antioxidant levels. Enjoy at least one cup of tea<br />
every day.<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Cholesterol-Lowering Chocolate</span></span></strong><br />
<strong>The Sweet Heart Bonus<br />
</strong>Want to help your heart the next time you indulge in<br />
chocolate candy? Choose the dark or bittersweet kind.<br />
Compared to milk chocolate, it has more than three times as<br />
many antioxidants. These flavonoid antioxidants work to keep<br />
blood platelets from sticking together and may even help<br />
keep your arteries unclogged. Milk chocolate is good too,<br />
having as much antioxidant power as red wine. And what about<br />
white chocolate? Sorry, it has no flavonoids at all.<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: small;">Eat Some Today</span></strong><br />
The levels of flavonoids in chocolate vary, depending on<br />
where it is grown and handled and how it is processed.<br />
Researches have been studying a variety of chocolate,<br />
developed by Mars, Inc., with guaranteed high-flavonoid<br />
levels. You can find it now in Mars Dove bars. To control<br />
the calories, buy Dove dark chocolate Promises. Indulge in<br />
one flavourful, high-flavonoid morsel daily, for just 42<br />
calories and 2.6 g. of fat.<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: small;">Get This Much<br />
</span></strong>Research shows that about an ounce of chocolate a day<br />
increases good cholesterol and prevents bad cholesterol from<br />
oxidizing.<br />
 <br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Cholesterol-Lowering Walnuts, Cashews and Almonds</span></span></strong><br />
<strong>Go (Mixed) Nuts!</strong><br />
A moderate-fat diet that&#8217;s rich in the healthy<br />
monounsaturated fats found in nuts may actually be twice as<br />
good for your heart as a low-fat diet. Nuts also have<br />
vitamin E, magnesium, copper, and phytochemicals that have<br />
been linked to heart health. And walnuts are also rich in<br />
omega-3s. People who eat nuts regularly have less heart<br />
disease and other illnesses than people who don&#8217;t. The<br />
heart-healthy monounsaturated fats they contain are also<br />
better for your joints than the polyunsaturated fats found<br />
in corn and safflower oils.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="font-size: small;">Eat Some Today</span></strong><br />
The key is moderation: Nuts are high in calories. Keep a<br />
jar of chopped nuts in the fridge, and sprinkle 2<br />
tablespoons a day on cereal, veggies, salads, or yogurt. Or<br />
add them to your diet by sprinkling chopped nuts on stir-<br />
fries. Almonds, hazelnuts, or walnuts can be added to<br />
pilafs. Make a trail mix with your favourites nuts, seeds<br />
and dried fruit.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="font-size: small;">Get This Much</span></strong><br />
Aim for 2 tablespoons of chopped nuts five times a week, or<br />
a small handful as a snack 3-4 times a week.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Used originally in most cultures for ceremonies, caffeine<br />
has become the most ubiquitous drug in the western world.<br />
Most negative effects of caffeine are not necessarily a<br />
concern for the occasional user, but do occur with regular<br />
use of over 100 mg daily, also depending on the<br />
individual’s sensitivities.<span id="more-1712"></span><br />
Being a stimulant, caffeine impacts the adrenal glands (our<br />
stress glands) and overtime even leading them to exhaustion,<br />
especially when already run down by everyday stressors. It<br />
also damages vitamin B, the nerve-building vitamin needed to<br />
help us handle stress, it acts as a diuretic-removing<br />
precious water from the body and brain, it has been linked<br />
to osteoporosis and kidney stones due to one of its<br />
compounds, oxalic acid (present in both regular and<br />
decaffeinated coffee).<br />
Other depleted nutrients that need replenishing during<br />
average coffee use are: thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2),<br />
pyridoxine (B6), vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, to a<br />
lesser degree zinc, iron, calcium, and the trace minerals.<br />
Anyone with a regular caffeine habit should seriously<br />
consider discontinuing its use and in an addiction<br />
possibility, give it up completely; as anything that causes<br />
addiction, caffeine can lead to negative effects on the<br />
body, mind, and overall quality of life. The people who feel<br />
they cannot properly function without caffeine and believe<br />
they must consume it on a daily basis are addicted.<br />
The best way to approach a caffeine detox program is by<br />
first strengthening your adrenal glands (stress glands) that<br />
have been over stimulated during your caffeinated time, in<br />
order to easier manage the change, then by following a good<br />
nutritional cleansing program that will get rid of any extra<br />
toxicity in your body while supplying the needed nutrients<br />
for this job.<br />
Gradually replacing the caffeinated coffee with grain<br />
“coffees” (coffee substitutes) can be both helpful and<br />
emotionally welcoming by allowing you to maintain the same<br />
coffee-drinking social habits.<br />
The pleasures of coffee and tea drinking are as much a<br />
cultural phenomenon as they are a taste preference.<br />
Remember: habits are developed, not inherent, and anything<br />
we learn, we can also un-learn or re-learn.<br />

indicated in your  case, take my <a href="http://www.askdoctoranca.com/self-tests/tt/">FREE TOXICITY SELF-TEST</a>.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Can what you eat give yourself <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>breast cancer?</span></strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"> <span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">A mountain of evidence says yes,</span> and it is summarized in the latest issue of Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine.<span id="more-1511"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">For years, researchers have studied the role of diet in breast cancer. By comparing different countries, researchers <span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">found strong links between high-fat diets and breast cancer risk</span>. The disease is rare where the diets are very low in fat and where rice and plants products are dietary staples. For example, before 1950, the rice-based Japanese diet drew less than 10 percent of its calories from fat. Breast cancer was exceedingly rare. But over the years, as Western influences have altered Japanese eating habits, breast cancer rates have climbed dramatically.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">These international studies are just one line of evidence, however. Case-control studies are another research tool in which researchers compare diets of cancer patients (”cases”) with those of healthy women of similar age and background (“controls”).Such as studies have shown a link between fatty diets and higher risk of breast cancer, and even on cancer patient’s chances for survival. One study tracking Canadian breast cancer patients for ten years found that for every 5 percent increase in saturated fat in diets, the risk of dying of breast cancer shot up by 50 percent.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">How does fat do its dirty work?</span></strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"> Fats increase the amount of estrogen in the blood. In turn, this hormone stimulates breast cells in such a way that cancer is more likely to occur and is more aggressive. Fatty foods also leads to obesity which itself is linked to higher estrogen levels in the blood. Increased estrogen levels are also linked with early menarche (onset of first period), also a breast cancer risk factor.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Despite such evidence, doubts about the connection have persisted, fuelled mainly by the results of <span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">a large study of nurses run by</span> <span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">Harvard University in which researchers found no association between fatty diets and breast cancer rates</span>. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Why the conflicting results?</span></strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"> Unlike the populations examined in international studies, the nurses were a fairly homogeneous group, all eating fairly high-fat diets. No group in the study was following anything similar to a traditional Asian diet or other low-fat diet.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: red; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">As important as it is <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>to get fat off your plate, it’s just important to pile on the vegetables and other healthful plant foods</span></strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">. Their fiber helps cut breast cancer risk by naturally decreasing estrogen breast cancer risk by naturally decreasing estrogen levels. Plants foods are also rich in beta-carotene, vitamin C, and other vitamins which protect cells against damage. Unlike animal products, most plant foods have little fat and do not store up large amounts of pesticides residues.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: red; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">A brisk morning walk &#8211; or any other regular exercise &#8211; also helps cut breast cancer risk.</span></strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"> <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">Skipping happy hour cocktails can also <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>do you a favour</span></strong>, too. Studies have shown that even one drink a day can increase your risk of breast cancer by 25 percent.</span></p>

Eat a variety of whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and beans every day. Limit your use of vegetable oil, alcohol, and skip tobacco and meat products.

Many people consider stress to be something that happens to them:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>an event such as an injury or a promotion. Others think that stress is what happens to our bodies, minds and behaviours in response to an event (e.g. heart pounding, anxiety, or nail biting). While stress does involve events and our response to them, these are not the most important factors. <span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;"><span style="color: #000000;">Our thoughts about the situations in which we find ourselves are the critical factor</span></span>.<span id="more-1397"></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" align="center"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">When something happens to us, we automatically evaluate the situation mentally. We decide if it is threatening to us, how we need to deal with the situation, and what skills we can use<span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">. </span></span><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; background: yellow; color: #00b050; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-highlight: yellow;">If we decide that the demands of the situation outweigh the skills we have, then we label the situation as &#8220;stressful&#8221; and react with the classic &#8220;stress response&#8221;</span></strong><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #00b050; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">.</span></strong><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"> If we decide that our coping skills outweigh the demands of the situation, then we don&#8217;t see it as &#8220;stressful&#8221;.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" align="center"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Everyone sees situations differently and has different coping skills. For this reason, no two people will respond exactly the same way to a given situation.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" align="center"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Additionally<span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">, not all situations that are labelled &#8220;stressful&#8221; are negative.</span> The birth of a child, being promoted or moving to a new home may not be perceived as threatening. However, we may feel that situations are &#8220;stressful&#8221; because we don&#8217;t feel fully prepared to deal with them.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" align="center"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Some situations in life are stress-provoking, but it is our thoughts about situations that determine whether they are a problem to us.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;" align="center"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; color: #00b050; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">How we perceive a stress-provoking event and how we react to it determines its impact on our health.</span></strong><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"> We may be motivated and invigorated by the events in our lives, or we may see some as &#8220;stressful&#8221; and respond in a manner that may have a negative effect on our physical, mental and social well-being. If we always respond in a negative way our health and happiness may suffer. By understanding ourselves and our reactions to stress-provoking situations, we can learn to handle stress more effectively. We hope that this booklet will help you to build better coping skills for managing stress.</span></p>
