Breast Cancer Family Foundation

The lack of sunscreen and the mole removals puts me on a list with the dermatologist to come in once a year for an annual skin check. I know many think a healthy tan looks great but skin cancer is ugly and it can take your life. There is no such thing as preparing your skin with a base tan with a tanning bed to prevent skin cancer/damage. There are those who have higher risks like blonde hair, red hair, lighter eyes, 50 or more moles or a history of skin cancer in the family.

This week, with help from our friends at Festival Foods, we have a Halloween Special Edition of Tasty Tuesday! In this video, we’re featuring two easy, healthy snacks that are perfect for sending to school, as an afternoon snack, or to feature at your Halloween get-together! They’re sure to please both kids and adults alike and offer a good balance of carbohydrate and protein without all the added sugars of other holiday treats.

With fall in full swing, this week we’re highlighting a holiday favorite- pumpkin! Pumpkin is a delicious addition to sweet and savory foods alike and offers a rich flavor and smooth texture. When adding pumpkin to your meal, it brings a great source of fiber which helps with weight control, keeping us full, and protecting against colorectal cancer. When you’re cooking with pumpkin don’t forget the seeds!
