According to an article in October 2014 Good Housekeeping magazine, over 91,000 women participated in a California Teachers Study. The results showed those who ate the most fruits and veggies on a daily basis had a 15% lower risk of developing breast cancer than those who ate the least amount. The study went on to say that these women were 34% less likely to have hormone-negative tumors, which are much tougher to treat.
It turns out that so many of the foods that are important for preventing cancer also help to maintain a healthy brain. The chef at Willson House, Chris Feskens, uses the latest nutritional science in his meal planning to promote healthy eating for healthy living for our residents, children, and guests. Adding more fresh fruits and vegetables, low fat proteins and whole grains to the menu are just a few of the changes he has made.
Breast Cancer Awareness month is all about increasing the awareness of the disease and providing information and support to those affected by it. While early detection is critically important, knowing how to live a healthy life to help prevent the disease in the first place is also important.
Willson House works hard to help our seniors stay healthy. If you'd like to have lunch in our dining room to see for yourself what an amazing job Chris and his staff are doing to make dining a healthy, pleasant experience for our residents call 503.585.6511 to make an appointment for a tour.
