Prevention of cancer in our Latino communities

The Latino community is one of the fastest growing groups. It is anticipated that within 15 years, most young people will join the labor market are Hispanic or Latino descent.

Parallel to this growth in the Hispanic population, we found a disproportionate increase in serious illnesses that affect them, and could be prevented. Statistics show that nearly 60 percent of deaths among Latinos in California are caused by heart disease, cancer and diabetes, all diseases which would be prevented by a balanced diet and physical activity.

Cancer prevention may depend on many factors: genetic, the food we eat and our lifestyle, among others. A balanced diet rich in fiber and low in fat and include physical activity in our routine, may reduce the risk of developing certain cancers.

What is a balanced diet?

A balanced diet is one that includes foods from each of the basic groups: grains and cereals, vegetables, legumes and vegetables, fruit, foods rich in calcium and protein in the recommended amounts. These foods allow us to supply the body with the nutrients needed for good health.

The variety and moderation are key aspects of a balanced diet. In addition, moderation is the practice of prevention. Deprive yourself is not recommended, but reducing the size of lots, yes. Focus on the variety and not quantity is key. Eat the right amount of food for their age and activity level.

Health experts have found that a diet high in fat and low in fiber may increase the incidence of cancer of the colon, breast, ovarian and prostate. For a person consuming a diet of about 2,000 calories a day, only 30 percent of those calories should come from fat, and total daily intake should not exceed 67 grams.

How to avoid consuming too much fat?

To reduce fat intake is important to know about methods of food preparation. Fried foods are always higher in fat and calories than those prepared baked or steamed. For example, a large bag of potatoes (6 oz.) To French or French fries has about 30 grams of fat.

For the convenience to quickly satisfy hunger and because they offer large portions, chain fast food restaurants have grown in popularity. Junk food or fast food has become very popular because it is inexpensive and convenient, despite their high fat and little nutritional value.

We eat without thinking about what we're throwing the body, and do not take into account the impact that this type of food can lead to neglect our health.

What health practices are recommended?

In general, limiting fat and avoid or eat sparingly solid fats are more harmful.

When we talk about solid fats we refer to trans fatty acids, these are liquid fats through a process of hydrogenation is converted into solid fats like margarine, shortening and other hydrogenated oils, and saturated fats like those of meat and poultry, butters, creams and others that are mostly of animal origin.

Remember that many chronic diseases and certain cancers can be prevented. Eating foods that are high in fat contributes to the deterioration of health. If you want to stay healthy, we recommend that you evaluate your eating habits and commit to improving your diet, if necessary.

A balanced diet should include eight to ten servings of fruits and vegetables daily, one serving of fruit is one medium fruit, and in the case of vegetables, one serving equals a cup if they are raw, as if half cup cooked .

The importance of these foods is that with its powerful antioxidant helping to regenerate the body's cells, if this is combine whole grains that provide fiber body, our body will receive a double benefit: being free from toxins and risk reduction in severe illness.

We must also do daily 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity to complement the effects of good nutrition.

Keep your body healthy is our task and responsibility:

  • Let's be more careful about eating and physical activity we include in our daily routine.
  • Choose foods and foods that help strengthen the defense and keep the body healthy.

A balanced diet, along with 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity on most days, are important allies in the fight against cancer.

Give your kids healthy drinks

Most parents worry about the nutritional value of what their children eat, but equally important is the content of the drinks with the little accompany their food.

The experts recommend avoiding sugary drinks serve as soft drinks or sports drinks, with food or water rather than natural. Instead, serve juices, milk or water.

Did you know, for example, that vitamin C from fruit juices to their children helps to absorb iron from the cereal, oatmeal or toast to eat for breakfast? Or that a child may become obese from drinking sugary drinks?

Molly Klumb, Best Nutrition Program of the Cooperative Extension office at the University of California, says that serve milk to children during meals instills a healthy habit alone can continue later.

"Drinking milk with meals is an easy way that your child gets enough calcium," said Klumb.

Milk, suggests the expert, it better be free or low-fat and 100% fruit juice. Milk consumption should be limited to two cups (16 ounces) per day for preschoolers and juice ¾ cup (6 ounces).

"More than three cups of milk a day is too much," maintains Klumb. "If your child is taking 24 ounces of milk or more per day, could be filling her little tummy with milk and not be hungry to eat fruits, vegetables, protein foods and whole grains."

Equally important is to create in children the habit of drinking water between meals and snacks when you feel thirsty. To do this, you can keep a jug of cold water in the refrigerator, and if you can give a touch of flavor by adding fresh lemon juice.

"Some children drink sugary drinks all day. This can add many extra calories and tooth decay, "said Klumb.

A 12-ounce sweetened soft drink contains at least 150 calories. If your child drinks a can a day, a week will have consumed 1,050 calories. Similarly, a preschooler to eat normally and drink a 12 ounce can of sweetened drinks a day, but it is not physically active, go up an extra pound of weight per month or 12 a year, Klumb accurate.

Here are several recipes for healthy snacks and drinks for their children with milk and fruit.

Frozen Fruit

1. Choose berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries) that are ripe and firm. Rinse and trim the stem.
2. Spread a layer of berries on a tray
3. Put the pan in the freezer.
4. When the berries are frozen put them in bags and put them in the freezer. Use them in the quantities you want.
Frozen bananas

If your house is more bananas than your family can eat, freeze them before they spoil.

1. Take off the skins and cut into large pieces.
2. Place bananas in bags and place in freezer.

Frozen bananas improve the texture of making smoothies thicker.

The shakes are a good way to use berries and bananas. Keep bags of blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and bananas in your freezer ready to prepare smoothies.
Drink watermelon and raspberries

Blend one cup of fresh raspberries frozen and two cups of watermelon (without seeds). Serve immediately. Makes three cups.

Drink watermelon and strawberries

Blend one cup of frozen fresh strawberries and two cups of watermelon (without seeds). Serve immediately. Makes three cups.
Banana and berry smoothie

  • 1 large ripe banana
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen berries
  • 1 cup skim milk
  • Place the fruit and milk in blender. Blend until smooth.

Makes three servings (6 ounces). Contains 82 calories, 0.3 grams fat, 7% of calories from fat and 2 grams of fiber per serving.
Pineapple and banana smoothie

  • 1 large ripe banana
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup plain yogurt, low-fat
  • Place the fruit and yogurt in blender. Blend until smooth.

Makes three servings (6 ounces). It contains 130 calories, 1 gram fat, 7% of calories from fat and 1.6 grams of fiber per serving.

To add variety to your shakes, replace the fruit that we suggest for mangoes, papayas, kiwis, peaches and other fruits in season during the summer.

The beans are nutritious and do take the family budget

Housewives crave free time, away from the kitchen and the desk, but also want to compliment the family with dishes tasty, nutritious and of course cheap.

Can I have it all at once?

We must look at both sides of the coin, said Margaret Johns, a specialist in nutrition and family matters and consumer Cooperative Extension, University of California. On the one hand, the Department of Agriculture estimates that U.S. food prices will increase between 2.5 and 3.5 percent this year. But on the other hand, Johns emphasizes that it is important to remember that there is a powerful word of six letters that will help families save money, eat less nutritious food and cooking. This is the bean.

Beans and legumes offer a wealth of nutrients, promote good heart health and, especially, are very cheap. There are all a variety of beans and legumes can be cooked in many different dishes. Can also be used in many ways, either as the main dish, a salad and even dessert. (See recipes below.)

"Besides being an excellent source of protein, beans and other grains are low in fat, high in fiber and rich in vitamins and minerals," says Johns.

Moreover, most beans contain only 2 to 3 percent fat and no cholesterol, and, last but not least, also help lower blood cholesterol because they are rich in fiber. Most beans contain 20 percent protein and are rich in complex carbohydrates (or starch) plus are fortified with iron and B vitamins

Johns offers tips for saving money at the supermarket:

  • Get used to eating beans and legumes at least once or twice a week.
  • Cook your own beans and grains instead of buying canned and save more.
  • If cooking a large pot of beans, you can freeze and use later in different dishes.
