Artists fight cancer with cookbook Recipe for a Good Life is a little cookbook, jampacked with nutritionist approved recipes that include one or more ingredients from 11 food groups that are considered to help in the prevention of cancer. Every page reveals images of original artwork depicting the healthy ingredients. All artwork and recipes have been donated by family and friends from across the country. Proceeds from sales will go to cancer research and support organizations such as Wellspring Centres. The book was the inspiration of the author, Paulette Murphy, a cancer survivor herself. "Many of the people that I met during my treatment wondered what they did wrong to cause this disease. Well, there is no simple answer to that question. Many factors contribute to the proliferation of cancer, however, the food we eat is one thing that we have a degree of control over," says Murphy. On Saturday, May 28, from 2-5 p.m. at the Williams Mill Visual Arts Centre in Glen Williams, co-authors Paulette Murphy and Dawn Friesen will be available for book signing. An exhibition of the artwork from their cookbook will be on display from May 28 until June 11. The book signing and exhibition will be held in Sheri Tenaglia's studio in the yellow building, 515 Main Street, Glen Williams. Tenaglia, a local Georgetown artist, has contributed imagery of her artwork to the cookbook and has offered the use of her studio space for this event. She will continue to carry the book, Recipe for a Good Life for sale from her studio in support of this fundraiser project. The studio is open to the public on Fridays and Saturdays from 12 noon until 5 p.m. Recipe for a Good Life can also be found online at www.friesenpress.com/ bookstore or www.amazon.com and at Chinguacousy Wellspring Center, 5 Inspiration Way, Brampton.

All you have to do is let yourself be guided by the ABC's: A for antioxidants, B for vitamin B and C for calcium. It is now a recognized fact that vitamin C, vitamin E and selenium are nutritious antioxidant elements which play an important role in maintaining health and preventing illness. For example, vitamin C helps in the healing process, keeps gums healthy, increases resistance to infections and helps in the absorption of iron. These components are readily available in the foods we consume. Eating 5 to 10 portions of fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants on a daily basis is recommended. Vitamin B is contained in a variety of grain products such as breakfast cereals, bread, pasta and rice, meats and meat substitutes such as eggs, butter, peanuts, beans and dried peas. The main sources of vitamin B12 are milk, yogurt, cheese and other dairy products, eggs, meat and enriched foods such as soya and rice drinks. As far as calcium is concerned, this mineral works with other nutrients in the construction and maintenance of healthy teeth and bones. Milk and dairy products are a good source of calcium. Other foods such as soya drinks enriched with calcium, tofu prepared with calcium sulphate, cooked Chinese cabbage, green cabbage and rutabaga are also good sources of calcium. 905.873.8729 71 Mountainview Rd.
