I’m sure you’ve heard the expression ‘Never say never.’ It’s a lovely, paradoxical statement about tenacity and being open to life. But sometimes our penchant for living in absolutes – using words like ‘always, never, every and nothing’ – can be our undoing, especially when we are trying to create change in our lives.

Please note the irony in this statement as I point out that 'nothing' is ever 'always'; 'nothing' is ever 'never'. What I mean is that a certain event does not 'always' happen in a certain situation, nor does it 'never' happen in a certain situation, even if it might seem so initially. A good example of this would be when you note that your spouse 'always' snaps at you when she or he comes in the door. That is simply not true. It might occur frequently, but it does not 'always' occur. Sometimes he or she ...

To paraphrase Henry Ford: whether you think you are lucky or unlucky, you’re right. But it could be more about how you show up in the world than anything that happens outside of you.

We all know ‘lucky’ people: they have a super-awesome job, meet the right people and opportunities, and always seem to find hidden treasures.

But what if it isn’t luck? What if it’s choice? Yes, you read that right. What if these lucky folks simply make different choices? Choice, it seems, plays an important role in how ‘lucky’ you are. The ‘luck’ scientists have found common traits between those who find the pot of gold and those who walk right past it. First of all, 'lucky' people are more likely to have a fortuitous encounter because they meet lots of new people and keep in touch with a large group of friends and acquaintances. It certainly makes ...

A new Canadian study published in the International Journal of Cancer determined that women who take supplements containing isoflavones may have a lower risk of breast cancer, with high content supplements consistently linked with reduced risk.

University of Toronto researchers found that post-menopausal users of supplements containing high levels of isolflavones, including soy, red clover, garlic, and evening primrose for a period of at least five years were at a 25% lower risk of breast cancer. High levels were established to be .0676 mg. There were no reduced risk associations with low levels supplementation, established at .25 mg.

For the new study, the researchers looked at data from 3,101 women with breast cancer and 3,471 healthy controls concerning their use of 28 isoflavone supplements in Ontario, Canada. Thirteen supplements were single ingredient supplements, and the other 15 were multiple ingredient (brand name) supplements.

It appears that isoflavones are a good ...
