I recently read an interesting article about a cancer study that took place in China from 2002 to 2006. The study showed signs that eating cruciferous vegetables had an apparently significant impact on breast cancer survival rates. Interestingly enough, I also recently read an article that was sent to me by a friend, which touted the beneficial effects that these same cruciferous vegetables have on our skin. As both breast cancer and living with healthy skin are things that I think most women have a natural tendency to worry and wonder about, I thought it might be helpful to post a bit that I found interesting in both pieces.
In the first case, the apparent link between breast cancer survivors staying healthy and eating cruciferous vegetables lies in the phytochemicals within these vegetables, called indoles and isothiocyanates. Both of these elements, which are specific to these vegetables, have been widely researched and are generally thought to protect against some types of cancers. The study showed that compared to those women who ate the lowest doses of cruciferous vegetables, those who ate the highest doses had a sixty-two percent reduced chance of both general mortality, and breast cancer induced mortality. It also showed that these women had a thirty-five percent reduced chance of reoccurrence of breast cancer when compared against the same group. With figures like these, it’s hard to ignore the beneficial punch that these vegetables can seemingly pack. But they don’t stop there.
In the case of healthy skin, cruciferous vegetables often contain beneficial antioxidants including vitamins E and C, especially in broccoli and Brussels sprouts in particular. These vitamins contribute not only to healthy skin but also to healthy hair and eyes as well. In addition, cabbage contains beta-carotene, which aids in body tissue regrowth and has been shown to protect skin from sun damage. Beta-carotene is also converted into vitamin A once inside our bodies, and is the most effective and safe way to get your necessary dose of this important vitamin.
If you’re anything like me, it’ll be hard not to think twice the next time you find yourself in the grocery store wondering what to pickup for dinner. A wise action hero once said, “knowing is half the battle.” In this case, with our lives and personal health at hand, it seems like a bit more than half. I’m just glad I had the good fortune of finding this helpful information and could share it with you all here.
I have always had a keen interest in family genealogies. At various points I have made attempts at constructing a family tree for both sides of my family. I have an aunt and uncle on my mother’s side who have done some extensive work on that side of my family so that was easy work. My dad’s side, however, has never gone back very far at all. In fact on my paternal grandfather’s side I have never even known his parents until very recently! This year, I decided to take another stab it with the thinking that electronic databases were getting more and more information and I had quite a bit more luck. I used various websites, some of which have the 1940 census available. I was actually able to find information all the way back to my five-great grandparents! I got some educated guesses going all the way back two more generations dating back to the mid 1600s but I haven’t been able to confirm these as I have come across some conflicting information. I am continuing the investigation though and have even considered doing the DNA tests that some web sites offer for a fee. So far I’ve only used what is available for free, which is actually quite a bit of information. The data from the 1940 census promises to fill in even more holes, particularly with the family of my paternal grandfather. It has been a fun exercise and I’ve learned a little bit more about where I came from, even if it’s sometimes just a name. The new data from the 1940 census gave me some information from my grandparents on both sides that I hadn’t known before.

I am very excited to let you know that I am participating in the Crest and Oral-B Pro-Health Clinical Plaque Control Test Drive Program. A clean, healthy mouth is important for confidence, social interaction, and most of all, the health of your body. At this stage of life I am pretty good at brushing, flossing, and rinsing but I haven’t always been that way.
One of the many reasons I’m so dedicated to my routine is the clean feeling my mouth gets right after I’m finished. I love it. It’s really the little things in life that delight me. Most people dislike going to the dentist but I don’t mind it. My dental hygienist is super nice and she even reads my blog {Hi, friend!}. With each visit I get a free toothbrush, tooth paste, & floss in a goody bag. My favorite part of going to the dentist is how clean my mouth feels right afterwards! I try to avoid eating for as long as I can so I can enjoy the most of it.
For this test drive program I received a bundle of Crest and Oral-B items that were developed to work together to help keep plaque at bay and make it possible to get that “dentist-clean” feeling at home. Crest’s new Pro-Health Clinical Plaque Control toothpaste not only rids your teeth of plaque but it helps to prevent plaque from forming. Crest Pro-Health Clinical Rinse is clinical-strength protection against plaque and gingivitis. I am glad to have found a mouth wash that doesn’t burn my mouth and doesn’t have a strong overpowering taste either. I love my new Oral-B Clinical Pro-Flex Toothbrush in very soft! Last but not least, I received a package of Oral-B Glide Pro-Health Clinical Protection Floss. While I’ll admit that I like the woven floss better this is still one of the best that I’ve tried. I’ll continue using these products for two weeks and I’ll let you know how it goes!
Here’s a list of the items that are included in the Clinical Plaque Control Regimen:
