Love Relationships

We learn to love by being loved and accepting that love. Knowing we are loved is the most importnat lesson learned in childhood.

If we dread the love relationship, we select someone for whom there are no strong feelings of attachment so that we can cut that person off without feeling a sense of loss. in that way, we can reject the love object first.

If we sought out someone we could really love, it would be more painful to reject and be rejected.

In that way. we can reject the love object first.

Mushrooms, Green tea & Breast Cancer

According to a recent study at the University of western Australia eating 9.5 of mushrooms a day can cut your risk of breast cancer by two thirds.

In another study in China found that women who increased their consumption of mushrooms with regular consumption of green tea saw an even greater benefit with further reduction in risk.

Further studies are needed but tests so far show the fungi has anti-tumour properties and can stimulate the immune system's defences.
