October breast cancer awareness month



October is international breast cancer awareness month and here at Muesli4Me we want to support this worthy cause as much as we can.  So we've decided to donate $2 from each order in the month of october towards breast cancer research.  We hope you'll help us support this cause and order your muesli from us!

We've found some diet related tips that are said to help prevent breast cancer.  It's not 100% and there are a lot of different factors involved, but research shows that these things make a difference.

1. Eat more fruits (especially ones with high levels of antioxidants such as goji berries, blueberries and whole grains.

2. Eat carotenoid rich foods such as mango.

3. Eat more fibre - this can be achieved in your muesli by adding ingredients such as whole grains (all our rolled grains are whole), psyllium husk and oat bran.

4. Eat less fat, saturated fat, and animal fat.  If you like your muesli with milk or yoghurt, we suggest to eat it with low fat milk.  If you want to eat it with no fat - try with juice.  Our entire selection of dried fruit is low fat, so you can go wild with them!


5. Emphasize variety in food choices.  Don't eat the same thing all the time everyday.


I hope this helps and I hope we raise a lot of money to help with the research!
