<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the <i><a href="http://www.cancure.org/cancer_fighting_foods.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">National Cancer Institute</a></i>, an estimated one-third of cancer deaths in the US could be related to a person's diet, an unhealthy one at that. Eating sugary, heavily-processed foods with harmful additives like GMOs, chemicals or
 even animal products with hormones is the usual for many people in 
developed countries nowadays and they don't even know it. Unfortunately, the Philippines having adopted the sad American diet of fastfood and junk food isn't far behind. I truly believe that what people eat can truly kill them. On the other hand, eating 
whole, organic foods free from chemicals gives people access to powerful cancer-fighting 
substances. Antioxidants are known to neutralize free radicals, which 
are natural substances made in the human body and found in environmental
 pollutants that cause cell damage. These healthy substances are found in 
abundance in plant foods and spices, check these out:<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b>Turmeric ("luyang dilaw" </b>in our local wet and dry markets<b>)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
With its active ingredient, curcumin, is admittedly a potent 
anti-inflammatory and antioxidant with numerous medicinal uses. The more
 serious diseases treated and prevented with turmeric include 
inflammatory bowel diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, cystic fibrosis, 
Alzheimer's, diabetes, and even cancer.<br />
<br />
Many studies have shown that turmeric
 helps the body destroy cancer cells, helps prevent tumor formation, 
slows or inhibits the spread of cancer cells, and induces apoptosis 
(cell suicide) of mutated cancerous cells.<br />
<br />
<b>Tomatoes</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The active compounds found in tomatoes, carotenoids and
 lycopene (especially lycopene), are very helpful, especially in the 
fight of prostate and pancreatic cancer in men. Seven to ten helpings 
a week is recommended, both cooked and raw juice. To gain the health 
benefits of juice, make your own. Store bought tomato juice is usually 
pasteurized and won't give you the effects. Lycopene is a strong antioxidant.<br />
<br />
<b>Ginger</b><br />
<br />
Ginger may kill cancer cells.
 Although not yet proven in human studies (I hope they conduct one soon), ginger may cause a process 
called apoptosis that causes cancer cells to effectively kill themselves
 without causing damage to nearby healthy cells. Ginger is also linked 
to autophagy, which is when cancer cells are "tricked into digesting 
themselves," says J. Rebecca Liu of the <i>University of Michigan</i> in
 Ann Arbor. Liu is an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology 
who has been studying the effects of ginger on ovarian cancer cells.<br />
<br />
<b>Kale</b><br />
<br />
Kale
 contains phytochemicals called isothiocyanates that may inhibit tumor 
growth. These chemicals may also stop substances that cause cancer from 
getting to their targets. Kale contains nitrogen compounds called 
indoles that can help prevent a conversion of certain lesions into 
cancer cells in estrogen-sensitive tissues.<br />
<br />
<b>Cruciferous vegetables</b><br />
<br />
Studies
 on cruciferous vegetables show that these foods may help patients 
with colon or prostate cancer. Cruciferous vegetables include all 
vegetables in the Brassicaceae family, such as my personal favorite bok choy, broccoli, 
cauliflower, cabbage, and similar green leafy vegetables. According to <a href="http://www.diet.com/g/cancerfighting-foods" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>Diet.com</i>,</a> cruciferous vegetables may decrease risk of prostate and other cancers.<br />
<br />
One study found that eating a lot of cruciferous vegetables decreased the risk of colon cancer. According to <i><a href="http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/diet/cruciferous-vegetables/print" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cancer.gov</a></i>, women who eat a least five servings of these vegetables weekly may be at less risk of lung cancer.<br />
<br />
<b>Nuts</b><br />
<br />
Nuts may be 
beneficial for cancer patients because they have antioxidants including 
kaempferol and quercetin. These antioxidants can suppress cancer growth.
 Brazil nuts in particular can help people with prostate cancer because 
of the high content of selenium. It them raw for best results. <br />
<br />
<b>Garlic</b><br />
<b> </b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">The seven-year clinical study on garlic curing cancer</span> - the 
largest study ever conducted in history on garlic supplementation was 
performed by Chinese researchers collaborating with the National Cancer 
Institute. It was a test to see if the garlic could reduce precancerous 
gastric lesions. For all you science folks out there, yes, it was a 
double-blind study and was randomized, with over <b>3,000 human subjects for seven long clinical years</b>. You want to hear the results? Cancer risk was cut by 60% for the people with the highest intake of <b>allium-containing vegetables</b>, including aged garlic. Garlic reduces inflammation, 
fights free radicals, and fights cancer. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Eat it raw or chop it up and 
let it sit for 10-15 minutes before cooking with it or its beneficial 
compound, allicin, will not be released.<br />
<br />
Why settle for chemotherapy which has a very low success rate and has a long list of side effects that do our body more harm than good, when we can just eat healthy food to fight off cancer? It's way cheaper than chemo, not really harmful to the human body and the chances of you beating the disease has a higher success rate. It may not be on the news or covered by mainstream media, but cancer survivors who took the natural route and are now cancer-free do exist, and there is a lot of them.  <br />

literally
make the ice cream in single batches right then and there, in front of 
you, rather than prepped ahead of time. Made to order or a la minut as 
my culinary friends would say. <b>Coolato</b> even allows their 
customers to take a video of how their ice creams are being made. You 
can record it and show it to your friends, don’t forget to tag them on 
Instagram @coolatoartisanalgelato with the hashtag

 a hard time finishing it by yourself. Sharing it with a friend can fix

Being a fan of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0765425/" rel="nofollow">Top Chef</a> since the first season aired in February 2006 has definitely expanded my knowledge on food and broadened my culinary skills & palate. So when Kale started to get recognition back in 2010, I was up to date on that particular trend in the making, which really took off by 2012. Yes, I knew about Kale Chips even before it popped up everywhere in the states (it was almost cliche) and became famous over the internet.<br />
<br />
But what is Kale exacty? Known as the "Queen of Greens," <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kale" rel="nofollow">Kale</a> or borecole is a member of the cabbage family that comes in two forms. There is Kale, which has smooth leaves and then Curly Kale, which is the most common of the two and as the name suggests has crinkly leaves. It is a vegetable that has green or purple leaves sometimes tinged with blue that grow in a loose rosette at the top of the stem instead of forming a head like most cabbages do.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Kale is available in 3 different varieties: <br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Curly</b> — ruffled leaves and deep green hue </li>
<li><b>Ornamental</b> — green, white, or purple leaves with a more subdued flavor than curly’s pungent one </li>
<li><b>Dinosaur aka Tuscan kale</b> — the one, I am most familiar with, has dark blue-green leaves with an “embossed texture”; its taste has been described as “slightly sweeter and more delicate . . . than curly kale.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Here are some reasons why you should consider adding Kale to your diet:</div>

I remember Tuscan Kale being cooked together with chicken in one of my favorite episodes of Top Chef Season 3 by CJ and Trey on the frozen pasta dinners elimination challenge, it was the winning dish by the way. I also remember <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocco_DiSpirito" rel="nofollow">Rocco Dispirito</a> dissecting their bag of frozen food, finding frozen kale in it and saying it was his favorite. In Top Chef Season 4, Nikki and Jen presented a very rustic dish with handmade tortellini and Cavolo Nero or Black Cabbage, which is another name for Tuscan Kale, for the movie night elimination challenge.</div>

Kale can be eaten raw, dehydrated, baked, sauteed, braised, juiced or added into smoothies, take your pick. Make Kale chips for a healthier snack alternative the whole family can enjoy or make a green smoothie which I highly recommend. Kale freezes well, it actually tastes better and more flavorful after being frozen and thawed out, so keep that in mind when you get some. <br />
<br />
Haven't had Kale or "Kina" as the local farmers call it, before? Hopefully now you'll consider trying it. Whether you cook, bake or juice it, this powerhouse of a superfood doesn't just satisfy the palate but also our body. Don't know where to get some in Manila?

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Crispy Fresh Water Sardines or "Tawilis" Recipe</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Fresh Water Sardines or "Tawilis" which I'm sure you're pretty familiar with if you've been to Taal, Batangas is one hard fish to find fresh in Manila. A staple in Tagaytay/Taal local restaurants, the crispy fried Sardinella Tawilis is always a hit to their patrons which is why cooking it at home was our solution to getting our Tawilis fix (when available) without going to Batangas. Here is a step by step recipe inspired by <a href="http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/fried-tawilis-a-la-marketman" target="_blank">Market Manila</a>, thanks Marketman!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A landlubber being married to a certified island boy from Cebu certainly has its charms, having a great seafood shopper and cook is one of them. He's always on the look out for fresh quality fish available in our nearest local wet market, and one day, last Saturday to be exact, he hit the jackpot. Scored some fresh Tawilis from a fish vendor's stall he always frequents! Took home the beauties and got them prepped up for cooking.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Cleaning each individual sardine was indeed a bit time consuming but I was enjoying myself nonetheless since I'm one of those who actually love the experience of getting down and dirty with food. Give me a kilo of fresh anchovies and I'll be happy to behead, debone, gutt and fillet them with ease for my Mom's Kilawin recipe anytime. Handling sardines is a cinch compared to small anchovies, it was easy. You just need a really sharp pairing knife to make incisions along the belly of each fish and remove the guts. Rinse with cool salted water or brine, then drain to remove as much moisture as you can.  </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now get your stainless steel pan ready over the stove on medium high heat. While that's heating up prepare the flour mixture, I just added freshly cracked black pepper, turmeric and celery seed powder to regular plain white flour. Didn't even measure anything, just eyeballed it. Mix them really well, and dredge your fish in it, a couple at a time since we're going to fry in batches. Add oil to your pan, just enough to coat the amount of fish per batch, make sure the oil comes up to temperature before putting in the fish or you'll end up with a soggy-greasy mess instead of the crispy goodness we're after. Fry the sardines for just a few minutes on each side until golden brown and crunchy crispy, it takes about 3-5 minutes tops. Transfer the cooked tawilis on paper towels to drain off excess oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Serve immediately with heeps of rice (the Filipino way, of course) and your favorite side dish, in our case we chose my Pico De Gallo.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The verdict on our own take of Crispy Tawilis? Well, let's just say it was a very quiet meal, we were all too absorbed in devouring the contents of our respective plates and eyeing the serving platter of delicious sardines to utter a word to each other except for "Please pass the Tawilis" maybe. Haha! </span></span><br />
