Fighting Cancer With Food Few, if any, families can say they have never had an experience with cancer. Cancer is a potentially deadly disease with no cure. While cancer can be treated effectively, there is no way for men and women to eliminate their risk of developing cancer. Though cancer may strike even the healthiest of persons, there are ways men, women and even children can reduce their risk. One such way is to consume certain foods that researchers feel can reduce cancer risk. Though precisely how these foods fight cancer remains a mystery, cancer researchers feel they can effectively lower an individual’s cancer risk when combined to form a healthy diet. *Beans: Beans boast numerous healthy attributes, and their potential to reduce cancer risk is one such attribute. Beans contain many phytochemicals that researchers feel protect the cells from the type of damage that can ultimately make a person susceptible to cancer. Beans also have been shown to decelerate tumor growth and prevent tumors from releasing potentially harmful substances that can damage nearby cells. *Colorful fruits and vegetables: It may seem odd that a food’s color can have an impact on cancer risk, but colorful fruits and vegetables contain more cancer-fighting nutrients than fruits and vegetables that aren’t as flashy.Consuming such fruits and vegetables also helps men and women maintain a healthy body weight, an important benefit when considering overweight and obesity increases a person’s risk for multiple cancers. * Foods with folate: Folate is a B vitamin that can reduce a person’s risk of developing several cancers, including those of the colon, rectum and breast. Those who are fond of a healthy breakfast to begin their day may already be getting healthy doses of folate, which can be found in eggs, fortified breakfast cereals, orange juice, and strawberries, among other foods. If toast is your breakfast of choice, opt for whole wheat toast, as whole wheat products are a good source of folate. *Grapes: Studies have shown that resveratrol, a key ingredient in grapes, may prevent the type of damage that triggers the production of cancerous cells. Though scientists are not yet comfortable saying grapes, or beverages like grape juice and wine, can reduce cancer risk, they believe that the antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties of grapes make them a healthy option. *Tomatoes: Tomatoes are widely beloved, and perhaps that love affair stems from the tomato’s role in fighting cancer. Though the reasons are unknown, tomatoes have been linked to lowering men’s risk for prostate cancer. One such study, a 1995 study from researchers at the Harvard Medical School, found that men who ate 10 or more servings of tomatoes per week reduced their risk of developing aggressive prostate tumors by nearly 50 percent. Later research from the author of the 1995 study found that processed tomatoes, such as those found in tomato paste and tomato sauce, were even more effective at reducing cancer risk than fresh tomatoes. Tomatoes have also been linked to lowering a person’s risk for lung and stomach cancers. *Water: Water may not qualify as a food, but it may protect people from bladder cancer. Potential cancercausing agents in the bladder are diluted when drinking water. In addition, the more water you drink the more frequently you’re likely to urinate, which means cancercausing agents have less time to come into contact with the lining of your bladder. Many foods can help individuals in the fight against cancer. Though one food alone may not be potent enough to do the job, when several cancer-fighting foods are included in a person’s diet, the effects may be significant.

Wise St. Bowie How to Grill for a Crowd Cooking over an open fire is a staple of warm-weather entertaining. Tossing some steaks or vegetables on the grill for a family dinner is usually an easy undertaking. But even the craftiest grill cooks may need to apply some tricks of the trade when grilling food for the masses. * Cook a large piece of meat. Rather than individual burgers or chicken wings, think about barbecuing an entire pig or a roast. In many cases, the meat can be set up on the barbecue early in the morning. By the time the evening arrives, the meat should be tender and cooked through. With just occasional checking, turning and basting, this may be the most low-maintenance option when feeding a crowd. * Rent or borrow a second grill. Unless you are working with industrial-sized or commercial equipment, a standard grill may not have enough surface area to cook a lot of food at once. Find a friend or family member who is willing to lend you his or her grill. Having twice the room means you can cook twice the amount of food. You also may be able to rent a larger grill for an event. * Precook the food. You can put bratwurst, hot dogs or burgers on the grill to partially cook them before the party, then store them in aluminum pans. When guests arrive, simply reheat the food to the right temperature and they’ll be hot and ready in no time. * Go with hot dogs. Hot dogs are usually precooked and will heat up quickly on the grill. Their small size means they don’t take up much space, and several can fit on the grill at one time. Grilling for a crowd is easier when you plan with foods that are precooked or heat up quickly. This way you can enjoy more time with your guests. Make Use of Leftover Roast When purchasing roast beef or turkey, get one a little bigger than you think you need. A well-planned purchase can feed your family at least 5 amazing meals without having to eat the same dish for days in a row. The trick is to use the largest selection of the meat each day until you have used all of it. Here are some quick and easy ideas for your leftover pot roast meals. COLD SANDWICHES: Roast Beef Sandwich Sauce - Combine 2 1/2 TBSP horseradish, 5 TBSP sour cream, and 1 tsp mustard. Spread some of this on your cold meat sandwich. Store any remaining sauce in the refrigerator. HOT SANDWICHES: BBQ Beef, Sloppy Style - Shred some of your beef and heat in small pan with your favorite barbeque sauce. Add a little water if necessary to thin the sauce or to keep it from sticking. Serve on a hamburger bun or roll. Open Face Beef Sandwich - Lay warm slices or shreds of beef on a thick cut of texas toast. Top with warm gravy made from pan drippings or use pre-made gravy. Enjoy this hot sandwich with a side of mashed potatoes. Beef Fajitas - Stir fry strips of roast beef with a little canola oil, garlic, and onion and pepper slices. Use some pan drippings for flavor and to make the filling moist. Serve on warm tortilla shells with sour cream and garnish with a few sprigs of cilantro. CASSEROLES: Beef & Noodles - Cook 1 pound homestyle or egg noodles in beef stock or broth in saucepan. Drain. Add shredded or cubed leftover roast beef. Add 1 can cream of mushroom soup. Heat through. Salt as desired. Sautéed onions and garlic, optional. Add some of the drained broth to thin the sauce. Serve. SOUPS: Roast Beef Stew Combine chunks of beef with carrots and potatoes in a slow cooker. Add diced onion and garlic, salt and pepper, and a little Worcestershire Sauce for flavoring.
