Quite a few months back, I wrote a post about heart healthy foods due to a lifestyle change but after that I seemed to have been posting quite some unhealthy foods (but all of it are darn good!) so now I will do a post on foods that prevent cancer.
I’ve been hearing a lot about some acquiantances or relatives or even friends succumbing to cancer. Cancer is a very frightening word and in this modern day when it is so common, we should do all we can to prevent it.
It is Bulan Ramadhan (the Muslim fasting month) and the most common food readily available this month are…
Dates
I love dates (the edible kind!) and I’d stock up on plenty of dates during Ramadhan each year. Do you know that dates are fruits like this…
Fresh dates
And no, you can’t eat it when it looks so crunchy and nice because it’d be dry. It is best eaten when it is ‘well done’ as in when it softens. Anyway, dates are packed with nutrients and quite good for health too.

Now this wonder herb have been touted to be full of nutrition and medicinal values. Other than being used as an ingredient while cooking, it was used to make aromatherapy oils and medicinal oils.

I love cinnamon rolls and I used to eat it by slowly unrolling it and getting my fingers all sticky. One of the best cinnamon rolls I ever tried is from the Penang Adventist Bakery at the Penang Adventist Hospital. That was many, many years ago.
However, in recent times, their cinnamon rolls aren’t as good as it used to be anymore. Although their cinnamon rolls are supposedly healthier since it is made of wholemeal flour, I think they should not have compromised on the taste.
If you enjoy smoothies and fruit juices, why not make your own at home? All you need are the fruits / vegetables, some ice, water and a blender. It is easy and cheap too!
So, here I present you a recipe for a healthy cooling drink that is both good for health and has a deliciously fresh taste to it!
Due to our recent lifestyle changes for more healthy foods in our diets, I did some research and found that these foods are really great for our heart wellness. Our hearts and body will thank us if we incorporate some of these foods into our daily diet:
