"What the heck... I'll give it a try!"
"I have to say I'm so glad I purchased your DebtIntoWealth
System! I was skeptical at first, so I went to the website.
It sounded good, so I figured "what the heck," I'll give it
a try. My goal was to pay off $5000 in credit card debt and
a car loan so I could buy a new home, and get me and my 4
girls out of our 2 bedroom apartment. It worked! It's now 9
months later and ALL of my debt is paid off, and I just
signed a contract on a new 5 bedroom house! There is no
better feeling than to have NO debts, and a savings account
too! Thanks to your system, my family is going to have a
better life by not being enslaved to debt."

Top Cancer Fighters by Leanne Ely, C.N.C.
When you consider that 2/3 of all disease is lifestyle induced, it’s not hard to make the argument that you are what you eat. To illustrate that concept, there is a commercial on television for some kind of cereal showing a woman walking down the street who has (apparently) just eaten cinnamon buns and is quite literally wearing them on (where else?) her buns. I love that commercial…such a visual!
You can end up “wearing” the wrong foods for sure (as in the cinnamon bun lady). I’ve often said there is no need for me to eat certain foods, I should just apply them to my thighs and skip all the work of eating and digestion—that’s where it will end up anyway!
But more than just outer appearances, food impacts our health and the inner workings of what’s going on in our bodies, significantly. There are healthy foods lists (I’ve written several over the years) telling you what to eat and why, there are books of the same genre and people (like me) speaking all over the country, trying to get people to understand the impact of eating the wrong food. It may be a life and death matter.
Cancer, and particularly breast cancer for women, is a disease that chills the blood of most women. The fear of losing a breast or both is a palpable concern, as we’ve known someone who has or has had this disease. It’s become all too common.
So what can we do as women, to combat this disease?
The answer of course is to eat better. I can help you with that, I love food! And I love lists, so here’s a little one:
The top five foods for combating cancer are:
Cruciferous Vegetables: Broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower, oh my! These mighty veggies contain indole-3-carbinol that may help fight breast cancer by changing up cancer promoting estrogen into a more protective type of estrogen.
Tomatoes: Turns out lycopene, the phytonutrient in tomatoes that is linked to a decreased risk of prostate cancer, can work its same magic with breast cancer risk as well. New research has shown that to properly absorb lycopene, you need to eat it along side a little oil. I’m thinking olive oil and tomatoes sounds good, huh?)
Carrots and Their Orange Colored Friends: The pretty beta-carotene does more than color your carrots orange. It may also protect the DNA in the cell nucleus from cancer causing chemicals outside the membrane. Think of beta-carotene as a shield every you nibble a carrot!
Citrus Fruits: The lovely orange and gorgeous grapefruit contain monoterpenes that may help prevent cancer as this compound sweeps the body of carcinogens. How cool is that? A cancer swiffer!
Seaweed: When you consider this amazing sea vegetable is chocked full of beta-carotene, fiber and chlorophyll as well as chlorophylones, fatty acids that may help fight breast cancer, you just can’t say no to sushi! Domo arigato,!
And while you’re digesting those five foods, how about cooking up this delicious, cancer fighting soup?

Out with the Old, In with the New by Leslie, MissusSmartyPants
Early memories of clothes and how you felt in them as a little girl still play a role in your dressing choices today. Perhaps you felt you never deserved nice clothes or ones that fit well. Were most of your clothes hand-me-downs? Do you feel you don’t deserve to spend money on clothes or yourself? You either bought into this thought or you rebelled against it. Recognizing this issue is a starting point of changing those negative thoughts to new ones. It will help you transform your style into something better.
Let’s examine how we got some of the old “mental tapes” of how we look and feel in our clothes. Think back to when you were young. What are your memories of what you looked like in clothes? Are they good memories or not so positive? Personally, I remember clearly, two things from my early childhood. I was probably in first grade and I recall shopping for “back to school” clothes with my mom. I remember feeling excited to get new clothes! We went to Sears during a big sale. I got new dresses, 3 for $10. Each one of them a different style and color and thereby allowing me the chance to show my style each day—it was an amazing feeling! Do you have a similar style memory or one not feeling comfortable or pleased about what you were wearing?
Possibly when you were young you were told a certain color or style did or did not look good on you. What makes you think this is still true? Are there certain types of clothes you won’t wear today because of the negative feelings attached to them? Did you wear hand-me-downs most of the time or felt self-conscious because you were overweight? Or, perhaps you always had the latest styles, now you feel you have to always keep up with the latest. All of these past experiences and feelings can hold us back from truly expressing ourselves with our clothes.
Take some time and examine why you feel the way you do about clothes and shopping. Understanding your past experiences will allow you to change the way see yourself and let you try new styles for your body type. By concentrating on you body type and finding styles for you, you will change the “old emotional tapes” and explore new styles. I think Calvin Klein said it best, “There’s no point in trying to look like a Vogue editorial every month. The way to find your style is to try to develop a look of your own.” Start with your own Personal Profile today and find out what flatters YOU!

Hip Tips
Do you have a nifty, healthy foods tip you'd like to share? Send it in with your name and state (or country) and we'll use it in a future Healthy-Foods issue!
- * In my home, we are trying to lose weight and eat healthier. It's not easy because we have 3 kids that are a little picky. One thing that turned out to be a great hit was using fat free pita pockets, uncut, and laying them on a cookie sheet. Then everyone built their own pizza on top of their own pocket. Everyone in the family loves it and there is no arguing about toppings. My family loves barbecue chicken pizza, so we always have those ingredients available as well. Spoon some barbecue sauce on the pita, then some diced, cooked chicken breast, then the cheese and veggies. Now my husband and I can eat healthier pizzas and not listen to the kids whine! ~Nichol in Wisconsin^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
