Day 58

BREAKFAST

As usual nice cup of freshly ground coffee and a big bowl of oatmeal with banana.

Here is another interesting article....

A new study in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention shows vitamin K, found in leafy green such as spinach and broccoli, may help lower the risk of prostate cancer. Scientists recruited 250 participants with prostate cancer and 494 healthy people. Data revealed every 0.1 increase of undercarboxylated osteocalcin (ucOC), associated low with low vitamin K intake, resulted in 38% higher likelihood of advanced-stage prostate cancer and 21% increased risk of high-grade prostate cancer; NutraIngredients reports.Actually, last week it was determined omega-3 fatty acids, in this case found in fish, but are also contained in micro algae, protect against aggressive prostate cancer tumors and other reports highlight broccoli’s protective effects against prostate cancer, while foods high in saturated fat, like read meat and dairy, increase risk of prostate cancer.Vitamins are great, but they’re not magical pills. Last year, a study showed just taking vitamins, like vitamin C and E, don’t prevent prostate cancer. You have to eat healthy too!

It's been snowing all night....just what we didn't need. The real threat from possible flooding is ice jams on the river....they are unpredictable, and as a result it makes it very difficult to prepare. There is sandbagging going on in low areas of the City and of course in various parts of the province. We live on the River...but so far think we will be alright. Worse comes to worse...our ground level parkades would flood...hopefully it doesn't come to that.

LUNCH

Had left over veggie spaghetti and a small whole wheat bun.

DINNER

We had a veggie burger and yam fries....yummy!
