King Xerxes Brussel Sprouts

Being healthy has always seemed to me like flossing your teeth…something you know you should do, try periodically sometimes half-heartedly, worry that you’re not doing good enough, doesn’t sound like fun but really you should or WHAT will people think! Last year a close family member was diagnosed with melanoma, add to that the deluge of friends and others who have cancer and it feels like we should be doing something. My personal path has taken me through books, to classes and on websites learning about healthy eating. From what I’ve learned, what we eat can have a huge impact on the natural cancer-fighting ability of our body. My family has volunteered (well, since I do the shopping and cooking, they didn’t have much choice!) to go down this path and be open to new foods to eat.

Turmeric has been linked to fighting infection, fighting cancer, reducing inflamation, treating digestive problems.
Experiment with adding it to vegetable dishes, eggs and anything else you can think of.Clean, trim and halve brussel sprouts.
