We spend time agonizing over the right birthday or holiday gift to express our love for our loved ones. Why not make the time and
money spent help keep your loved ones around for more birthdays or holidays? We offer a list of ideas that will express
your love, and possibly lower their risk of cancer as well!
Birthday Gift Ideas
1. For her. A special mug and
packets of hot cocoa together with a copy of the new book
the antioxidants ofgreen tea. Sipping this while learning how to converse in a magical way is sure to be a gift
remembered long after the flowers have wilted.
2. For him. A bottle of red wine from the province in France known
for the highest antioxidant content of its wines, and
very long life expectancy. Our recommendation
is "Chateau Bellevu Peycharnea" 2003 Nordeaux Superieuer from
Girnade France.
3. Dark
chocolate and strawberries. A bar of dark chocolate has as many polyphenols (cancer fighting antioxidants) as
that found in two days diet of fruits and vegetables.
4. A romantic getaway to a spa (or at least to a hotel with
a pool and exercise room).
5. A coupon for sleeping in. An ideal gift for those with young children. Sleeping less
than six hours per night is
linked with a higher risk of cancer.
6. A gift certificate
for a massage. Need more be said?
7. Potpourri or cinnamon sticks. Many air fresheners, both standing and electric,
as well as candles, can emit
carcinogens. The aroma from potpourri can spice up the air and ignite your
olfactory receptors without contributing
to cancer risk.
8. Slippers. To keep his or
her feet warm...and to avoid the carcinogens that can be brought into your home on
the bottoms of shoes.
9.
A houseplant decorated with loving decor or housing a vase with a rose. Long after the flowers fade, the plant
will continue to absorb toxins in your loved ones surroundings.
10. Making whoopee. A healthy sex life (safe sex in a monogamous
relationship) appears to lower the risk of
cancer in both men and women.
