Small changes

I just checked out Medline Plus for recent health research updates.
I read this (at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_71702.html)

"Coming on the heels of two studies discounting the usefulness of vitamin B, folic acid, vitamin D and calcium supplements for cancer prevention, U.S. researchers report that vitamins C and E supplements won't help prevent cancer, either.”

And a bit of commentary on the finding: "This is preliminary data, but it is pretty consistent with what we're seeing in other research with individual nutrients. When you take the nutrient out of its natural environment, it may not be protective," said Jennifer Crum, a nutritionist at the New York University Cancer Institute, who added that in foods, vitamins and other nutrients likely work together ot provide protection against cancer...
...People are starting to realize the importance of the overall picture," said Crum, who recommended that people begin by making small changes, such as exercising a little bit longer or adding another vegetable a day to your diet. "When people make small changes for their health -- exercising for 20-30 minutes a day, eating better -- we see lower rates of cancer recurrence," she said.

Whole foods and whole body movement: along with the rest of the country, I, too, need more of both!
Here’s to making small changes, today.
