Strawberry Smoothie

A strawberry smoothie is a great way to begin a day. Or perhaps enjoy a fresh, juicy strawberry by itself, or add it to a fresh, organic salad. Delicious!

But fruits and vegetables alone are most likely not going to prevent or cure any illness or cancer. However, a healthy non-GMO organic diet has been proven to help prevent a large number of diseases, including breast cancer, which statistics indicate that over 280,000 women will face a breast cancer diagnosis this year, and over 43,000 will lose their lives.

In laboratory studies, strawberries lowered the risk for developing estrogen-induced mammary tumors. Other human studies indicate that breast cancer cell development and proliferation is inhibited by strawberry extract. According to other studies, strawberries and prostate cancer are apparently at war, as the sword-swinging antioxidant, ellagic acid, stimulates enzymes that destroy prostate cancer cells and slow the tumor’s growth. The research also indicates strawberries are also in combat with other cancers, including tumors of the GI tract, liver, and lung cancer.

We, as human beings, must do more research ourselves and realize that the additives to our food is increasing daily, which will ultimately lead to some kind of ailment. If we continue on our current path, this is not only possible, but also inevitable. According to a leading environmental organization that aims to protect human health and the environment, strawberries are among the most heavily sprayed fruits with potential harmful pesticides.

So please buy organic when possible and do your own research and discover the importance of a natural organic diet. And as always, please consult your physician and/or homeopathic professional before making any dietary or lifestyle changes.
