Help support NFCR!

I've known too many people who have lost their fight against cancer. The sad fact is you probably have also been touched by cancer is some way. When the National Foundation for Cancer Research reached out to me to help promote their new cookbook I was happy to help. By donating as little as $15 you will be helping them and in return you will get a cookbook filled with recipes featuring cancer fighting ingredients. Here's more about it, and scroll to the bottom for a recipe except.

National Foundation for Cancer Research Releases Cancer-Fighting Cookbook

Bethesda, MD – January 05, 2011 – The New Year is a time when people across the country make resolutions to stay fit and stick with a healthy diet. To help, the National Foundation for Cancer Research has released a new cookbook, “To Your Health,” filled with delicious recipes.

The “To Your Health” recipes are brimming with cancer-fighting ingredients, including antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and protein. The cookbook also features lifestyle tips, early detection methods, and other helpful information on how to further decrease your risk from cancer.

“Poor nutrition, physical inactivity, and excess weight are considered to be contributing factors in approximately one-third of all cancers,” said Franklin C. Salisbury, Jr., President of NFCR. “Although you cannot control hereditary factors correlated to cancer risks, a healthy lifestyle is one choice you can make to help prevent cancer. If you take care of your body and choose carefully what you put into it, you can significantly cut down on cancer risks related to environmental and behavioral factors.”

The cookbook, available online at www.nfcr.org/recipebook with a donation of $15 or more, offers something for all tastes. It contains more than 50 easy-to-follow recipes, ranging from soups to desserts – and everything in between.
