Your food , your medicine .

I have never believed "Your food could be your medicine"until at the day - a public holiday when I was seriously ill with the symptoms: body aches/ pains, headaches and fever,and blocked / runny noses... and without medicine to take ( In Australia, there is few businesses opened in public holidays ) .

...Wandering on street with body pain and disappointing in having no medicine for me , after I visited at several Chinese Clinics/ medicine shops closed ...

( I often take Chinese medicine called BanLanGen Tablet for treatment/ prevention of Cold / Flu - BanLanGen Tablet - a kind of herbal medicine compound that can treat Cold / Flu and etc ) .

... Suddenly, I saw there was white radish on one of shelves at a Chinese vegetable store...

"Radish can treat Cold /Flu and inflammation..." I recalled it at once what I've been told by Chinese elderly when I was a little girl ... Soon, I realized I have had to try this vegetable - 'white radish' to treat my illness when I had no choice at the day ...

Then I went into the store and bought one of white radish. I decided cooking a soup with the vegetable of radish and pork bone. And I wished it could make me feel better after eating the soup.

I spent $2 in a meat shop and got a few pork bone .Then I cooked a "radish bone soup" for myself at home , I ate one bowl of it at my lunch time... And I ate the soup again at dinner time before going to bed ( with warm blanket )...

... Next day, when I woke up and I found out the all of symptoms that I suffered for many days have been gone, just gone totally ! - I felt no pain, no headache and no blocked / runny noses any more ... It was a magic !!!

I always agreed that what people eat in daily life is relation to their health. But, I never thought a food can have such strong effect in treatment of disease / illness .

- "Your food your medicine" indeed !

Cancer expert to continue eating meat...

ABC News : The Australian cancer expert Professor Bernard Stewart, chief scientific advisor for the Cancer Council Australia, chaired the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) committee which looked at 800 studies from around the world and concluded there was sufficient evidence in humans that the consumption of processed meat such as bacon, sausages and ham cause bowel cancer, and red meat"probably" does too.

However, Professor Stewart said the findings should not cause a complete boycott of the processed meats or red meat rather that moderation should be applied, and also said he still eat red meat and processed meat including salami, bacon and harm.

Some specialists insist the report is no reason to drop steak from the menu, though it is probably wise for big eaters of it to cut back . Meat is a good source of key nutrients like zinc, protein and Vitamin B12, as well as iron, which humans absorb more easily from meat than from plants.

"It doesn't mean you need to stop eating any red and processed meat" said Tim Key, an epidemiologist at Cancer Research UK.

Nutritionist Elizabeth Lund from Norfold in England said obesity and lack of exercise were a far bigger cancer risks. She said : if eat meat once a day combined with plenty of fruit, vegetable and weight control, will allow for a low risk of colorectal cancer. "It should also be noted that some studies have show that if meat is consumed with vegetables or a high- fibre diet, the risk of CRC is reduced".

( Note: I am a meat person myself, I can not imagine without meat on table ... I eat all of red meat , as I think , as long as the meat is fresh and cooked properly - must add garlic when cooking meat , which you would be always protected from cancer).
