Nickelodeon's Rx For A Longer Life!

                   Live Long and Prosper!

Want to live to a ripe old age?
Well, there are a number of things you can
do and one of those things comes from the T.V. network 
Nickelodeon. 
Not directly from the T.V. network, but from someone who's 
married to a bigwig at Nickelodeon.

Dan Schneider, who created "I Carly" "Drake and Josh" and
"Sam and Cat" is married to the woman who created the popular
dieting website-"Hungry Girl!"
Her name-- Lisa Lillien. And today on Dr. Oz, she unveiled another
book, a diet book "The Hungry Girl Diet" and in the book she
advises all of us to eat more mushrooms. 
Add cooked mushrooms to a smaller burger (eat less red meat) for  less calories
and use Portobellos as a pizza crust, it's gluten-free and you'll save
some calories as well.

And that's the point of this post- mushrooms are one of the foods everyone
should be eating if a longer life is a goal. Why?
* They help prevent cancer/
  Mushrooms help control extra estrogen in your system, which 
  helps block the growth of abnormal breast and ovarian cells.
* They help curb hunger pangs.
  Are you always hungry? Eat more mushrooms, especially
  in the morning. Mushrooms have as much fiber as beans or
  popcorn, helping to fill you up quickly. Ditch the bacon and have
  some mushrooms. White button will do nicely.

That's it- for now, if you want more info on how the lowly 
mushrooms can help boost your lifespan, check out our
regular blog--SupermarketRxs@typepad.com.

Good Luck!
