According to the CDC & the WHO, cancer is one of the top ten leading causes of mortality in not only the United States but also worldwide.

It is essential to provide ourselves with the best preventative measures.

Any disruption in our DNA could lead to a certain disorder, which thereby would produce an anomaly within our body. Anti-carcinogens work together with anti-oxidants to help combat any oxidative stress that could potentially break our DNA. This is because we need both anti-oxidants and anti-carcinogens to help alleviate destructive stress. Although some anti-oxidants are neglected as also being seen as anti-carcinogens, keep in mind that anti-oxidants are needed to help prevent angiogenesis.

Here's a list of 10 simple ingredients one could incorporate into their daily meals:

Green Tea

The purest form of green tea is matcha powder where it then has versatile cooking properties. Regardless, regular green tea may be consumed as a drink in the morning or the evening (decaf).

Avocado 

This fruit is amazing because it also has versatile cooking properties. You could go Mexican as guacamole or Italian as vegan alfredo pasta sauce.

Broccoli 

This vegetable could be used in cooking or simply blended into a morning smoothie. The choice is always yours!

Tumeric

Turmeric is a wonderful spice that can be incorporated in any recipe.

Cardamom 

This spice gives a very unique taste and if used carefully it can be added to any dessert for a bit of zing!

Cinnamon 

Cinnamon goes great with your morning coffee or tea. Cooking with cinnamon sticks is always fun too.

Garlic

With garlic, you can enhance any dish.

Basil

This is a wonderful herb and there are many types if you would like to look into the different strains. Some are pretty sweet and can be put it any drink, some have a bit more spice and go great with any dish!

Pomegranate Juice

Pomegranate juice is well-known for battling breast cancer. Overall, it's an amazing anti-carcinogen.

Ginger

Ginger is a very well rounded herb that could literally be included in any recipe.

It is up to you to start getting creative with these ingredients! Take care.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
