We knew that!

I copied this from an article I just read. Just good to reaffirm what we already know.....a good diet and exercise is healthy for us!!!! By product....we lose wieght! YEAH!

While we wait to learn more about why lowfat diets reduced cancer recurrence, a smart strategy to prevent breast cancer or its recurrence should include several steps. First, reach and maintain a healthy weight. Second, limit high-fat foods because of their high-calorie content, whether or not their fat poses a direct cancer risk. Keep in mind that omega-3 fats may be protective. Third, although exercise was not part of the WINS study, it helps control weight. It also seems to protect against breast cancer. Fourth, focus on eating lowfat foods that provide cancer-fighting nutrients and phytochemicals—vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans—rather than lowfat or low-calorie foods that offer no nutritional benefits. Fifth, because a lowfat, plant-based diet won’t lead to weight control if portions are too large, take portions appropriate for your energy needs.
