[What is Rhodiola Rosea]

Rhodiola Rosea (also known as Arctic root or golden root) is a member of the family Crassulaceae, a family of plants native to the arctic regions of Eastern Siberia. Rhodiola rosea is widely distributed  in Arctic and mountainous regions throughout Europe and Asia. It grows at altitudes of 11,000 to 18,000 feet above sea level.

There are numerous animal and test tube studies showing that rhodiola has both a stimulating and a sedating effect on the central nervous system; enhance physical endurance; improves thyroid, thymus, and adrenal function; protects the nervous system, heart and liver; and has antioxidant and anticancer properties.

What role do soy phytoestrogens play in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer?

This is probably the same reason flax seeds are so protective. See Flax Seeds & Breast Cancer Survival: Epidemiological Evidence (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/flaxseeds-breast-cancer-survival-epidemiological-evidence/) and Flax Seeds & Breast Cancer Survival: Clinical Evidence (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/flaxseeds-breast-cancer-survival-clinical-evidence/).

What about women who carry breast cancer genes? I touched on that in BRCA Breast Cancer Genes and Soy (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/brca-breast-cancer-genes-and-soy/) and it’s the topic of my next video, Should Women at High Risk for Breast Cancer Avoid Soy? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/should-women-at-high-risk-for-breast-cancer-avoid-soy).

What about genetically modified soy? I made a video abut that too: GMO Soy and Breast Cancer (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/gmo-soy-and-breast-cancer/).

Who Shouldn’t Eat Soy? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/who-shouldnt-eat-soy) Glad you asked. Watch that video too!

Not all phytoestrogens may be protective, though. See The Most Potent Phytoestrogen is in Beer (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-most-potent-phytoestrogen-is-in-beer/) and What are the Effects of the Hops Phytoestrogen in Beer? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-are-the-effects-of-the-hops-phytoestrogen-in-beer/).

Hey everyone!
Sorry it’s been such a long time since I’ve uploaded anything, but hopefully I’ll be able to upload videos more frequently now!

This is currently one of my favourite breakfasts/snack because it’s so warming and comforting on these cold wintery days! It can also be made with sweet potatoes instead, or a combination of both. This recipe is oil-free, refined sugar free, easy to make, vegan and super delicious! So it’s basically good for you right?

Hope you enjoy this video, please let me know your thoughts, feedback, or what other videos you’d like to see me do!

RECIPE:

- Pumpkin or Sweet Potato
- 1/4 – 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Nutmeg
- 1 tsp Ginger Powder
- 1 tsp Allspice
- Coconut Sugar or Liquid Sweetener (Optional)

1. Remove the pumpkin seeds ( I save mine and wash them to roast later)

2. Remove the skin and dice the pumpkin to whatever size you prefer.

3. Microwave for about 4 minutes until tender (optional, but speeds up the baking/roasting time. Which is always a bonus )

4. Spread out the pumpkin on a lined baking tray, and mix in the pieces until well combined and coated evenly.

5. Bake at 180-200C until they’re slightly crispy on the outside, and soft and gooey on the inside – about 15-20 mins (Or your preferred doneness)

6. Add whatever toppings you like and Enjoy!

All of these measurements are estimates and you can change them up to suit your taste

Thank you for watching!
