J Lo's Rx To Prevent Breast Cancer!

                         Eat This To Prevent Breast Cancer! 

J Lo loves to talk about her Puerto Rican heritage.
One thing that's popular in Puerto Rico and a lot of other
Spanish countries...their love of Rice and Beans!
And if you get into the habit of eating rice and beans,
you can lower your risk of a disease that puts the fear in a lot of women.

The disease: Breast Cancer!
Both rice and beans are packed with fiber, which binds to excess
estrogen and helps shuttle it out of the body before it can reach potentially
cancer-causing  amounts.
And more great news: Beans contain natural protease inhibitors, compounds that
help regulate the division of cells, cutting your risk of breast cancer by 30%.
How much and how many times a week should you eat rice and beans?

Try and get in 2 servings of rice and beans a week, and then work in
another day, making it 3 times a week, And make the rice-brown, which
is much healthier.

Good Luck!
