Eat Your Broccoli... And Laugh A Lot

There exists no single food to protect you against cancer, but scientists have shown that the right combination of foods will lower your risk of developing the disease. However, several recent studies have suggested that by adding cruciferous vegetables to your diet you may increase your body’s ability to repair damaged DNA and may help in preventing the formation of cancerous cells. The studies are also showing that two naturally occurring compounds in these vegetables may have the ability to halt the growth of cancer cells.

I truly appreciate what modern day science can now tell us and its ability to dissect information down to the minutest detail. An additional perspective to consider is the relevance of this knowledge with regards to the larger picture. For example, noticing the nutritional value of a few cruciferous vegetables, I found that they contain high levels of vitamin C. The use of Vitamin C in the fight against cancer has a rich history as well. Another very relevant question to ask is if this broccoli you are ingesting is organic? And, are you smiling, laughing, and content, as you chomp down on these hearty veges? There are many factors to consider in the study of dis-ease. By connecting these microcosmic perspectives to the macrocosmic levels of awareness, you allow for a richer understanding into the flows or blockages of these energetic relationships we call life.
