COST OF CANCER NEWS

As I type this the weather is gorgeous Spring is definitely on its way and I’ve just had the most fantastic time at the musical event which the Porthcawl Lions put on for us. It was absolutely awesome. I came away from there with a big smile on my face that lasted well into the night I could not sleep I was that hyped up. There were songs from West Park School Choir, they were fab, then it was Porthcawl Comprehensive School performing extracts from their up and coming show Legally Blond so, good and what a talented bunch of teenagers. Then there was a choir called Sounds Familiar, they just blew me away they did a really emotional dedication to the people of the Ukraine. Gorgeous. Then last but by no means least we had the Porthcawl Community Orchestra. Mind blown. They were just fantastic. I would like to thank all those who came and paid tickets to the event, to The Hi-Tide to all the performers but mostly to Gloria and the rest of the Porthcawl Lions for doing it for us in the first place. It was fantastic. They raised a huge £1,000 which will help us massively. If you know anyone who is finding life a struggle whilst they are going through treatment for Cancer, please do point them in our direction. Finally, please do follow us on all social media platforms and remember we help those who are finding life a struggle financially whilst going through treatment for Cancer.

THOUGHTS AND WORDS

“Your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, and your habits become your values. Your values become your destiny”. From last months’ column did you give it a go and try following your breath and thoughts for a short while? And what did you notice? Was there peace, calm, clarity and an empty space? Or, perhaps, did you think … ‘why is my heart beating so loudly, what is the rushing noise in my head, what’s for tea, where’s my car keys, who is drilling outside, why is the cat sitting on me?’ Any combination of these feelings is completely normal and yet, until we take a pause in life, we never really notice what is going on in our minds. Paying attention to our thoughts ensures that we can begin to choose which thoughts we wish to listen to and act on. If our habits do become our values, it may be worth checking in regularly to see what we are thinking about and decide if these are the thoughts, we want to direct our life or maybe pause and reassess what is happening and question how we can best achieve the life we desire.

BENEFITS OF EATING PINEAPPLE

Pineapples are especially rich in vitamin C and manganese, as well as numerous other vitamins and minerals and are a rich source of antioxidants that may reduce your risk of ailments such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. Pineapples contain bromelain, a group of digestive enzymes that may help break down protein and aid digestion and bromelain may have anticancer effects, although far more human studies are needed. The anti-inflammatory properties of pineapple may relieve symptoms of arthritis and may reduce the inflammation, swelling, and discomfort that occurs after surgery. Its antiinflammatory properties may also aid recovery after strenuous exercise. Fresh, stir-fried, blended, or roasted, pineapple works well in numerous dishes. You can find it canned, fresh, dehydrated, or frozen in most stores year-round.
