WITH the cold winter weather, many of your readers might feel in need of some warming comfort foods. But many traditional comfort foods can be high in fat, which is bad news for the waistline.
If we are putting on weight, this can also have an impact on our cancer risk as scientists say that, after not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight is the most important thing you can do for cancer prevention.
Traditional comfort foods can be high in salt too and having too much salt also probably increases your risk of stomach cancer.
At World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) we have put together a Healthy Comfort Foods recipe booklet, proving that you can transform your favourite comfort foods into nutritious and tasty feasts by making a few simple changes.
We are offering the booklet for free to the first 100 readers who call 020 343 4205 and quote ‘media’.
