"Cancer Cutting" Curcurmin Chili

I am still not done about Curcumin.
There is so much information.

I have great patient feedback too with improvement using these supplements.I am now going to tell about Curcumin and cancer prevention.

According to their mode of action, chemopreventive agents (chemicals that prevent damage to our cells) are classified into different subgroups: anti-proliferatives, antioxidants, or carcinogen-blockers. Curcumin belongs to all three, given its multiple mechanisms of action.

Other spices that have anti-inflammatory response are cloves, ginger and rosemary.

Remember these spices even if consumed in regular forms like 1/4 tsf of cloves or daily garlic in foods or a pinch of Rosemary can have these therapeutic effects.

Now talking about some simple ways to incorporate spices in diet specially Curcumin.

Chili is a favorite American food. How about a vegetarian version?

Recipe:
Components to use and throw them together and it turns out tone a good meal.

A can of crushed tomatoes
A can of black beans or red kidney beans
Vegetables to include are,
A cup of cooked corn,
Cup of chopped celery
Cup of chopped green or/and red or orange bell peppers
1/8 cup of olives green or black
1 cup of chopped onion
2 or 3 small garlic cloves
1/4 cup plain low fat yogurt1/4 cup chopped chives

1/4 cup of cleaned and chopped cilantro
1/4 cup or 1/2 pf avocado
Celtic sea salt
1 tsf of turmeric
1 tsf of black pepper
In a stainless steel 3 quart cooking pot or soup pot mix canned tomato,onion garlic beans bell peppers salt, turmeric,black pepper and let it cook till mixture is boiling.

Add corn avocado, olives garnish with plain yogurt and chives and cilantro.

Now some may say is it really chili? Without the ground beef?
We'll textures soy protein granules make the best substitute.Shredded cheddar cheese on chili is a good garnish

I read somewhere a modified recipe which uses canned tomatoes, canned beans ,
Onion, garlic and top it with cut up greens like spinach and kale and cover the pot while cooking .the tender greens get cooked fast and are delicious.
