Healthy eating isn't merely a means to squeeze into your favorite jeans or swimsuit, it's also a way of reducing our risk of developing chronic disease. Being overweight and obese puts us at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and certain kinds of cancer, including breast cancer. Also this week, learn how to set a healthy table, to make mealtimes relaxing. And find out how it's possible to eat both low carb and vegan.
 
 In the Spotlight
 Obesity and Breast Cancer Risk
A recent study of more than 44,000 shows that women who gain weight as adults have a higher risk of breast cancer. In fact, the more weight a woman gained the more her risk for breast cancer increased. While breast cancer has a genetic component, it is becoming more obvious that obesity increases breast cancer risk.

Setting a Healthy Table
Serving a healthy meal isn't entirely focused on the foods that are prepared. It is important to set the mood of your table so that everyone feels relaxed and comfortable. Make mealtimes a daily ritual that bring family members together in a loving space. A healthy table setting will ease stresses, awaken the appetite, and aid digestion. Loving meals provide memories that will last a lifetime.

Low Carb and Vegan
You may have heard that eating vegetarian (let alone vegan) and low carb are mutually exclusive. Not so. Meet my friend Terri, a longtime eater of organic whole foods and no animal products. Even if you have no interest in vegetarian diets, Terri is a model of how we sometimes have to change our diets to follow our bodies' needs over time.
