Cauliflower is an often-overlooked, but extremely healthy vegetable. Many studies link cauliflower-containing diets to cancer prevention, particularly with respect to cancers of the bladder, breast, colon, prostate, and ovaries. Cauliflower provides special nutrient support for three body systems closely connected to cancer development and prevention: detox, antioxidant, and inflammatory/anti-inflammatory systems.
This easy recipe provides a perfect low-carb alternative to mashed potatoes with a creamy buttery taste and less than one point. If you don’t have buttermilk, low fat sour cream also works great.

What better way to spend a weekend morning than to shimmy & shake to Zumba’s Latin beats, while raising funds for Walnut Creek CERT (Community Emergency Response Team). On June 18th Zumba Contra Costa’s Janice Litvin, accompanied by Claudia Lira, Parandis Banifatemi, & Lynda Penados, took CERT supporters, including Walnut Creek Mayor Cindy Silva and WC CERT’s director, Gayle Vassar all the way to a Salsa battle at the beautiful Shadelands Art Center.
Fema-endorsed CERTtrains community volunteers to respond during a disaster in areas such as: fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, disaster medical operations, and most important, communication. For more information about upcoming CERT trainings or to become a volunteer, contact cert@walnut-creek.org.
Today Janice of Zumba Contra Costa prepared walkers for the Weight Watcher Walk-it Challenge in Pleasant Hill (San Francisco’s East Bay area). Fleet Feet of Pleasant Hill hosted the walkers by supplying t-shirts, water, and healthy snacks. Starting at 7:30 a.m. Janice warmed and toned the 300 Weight Watchers’ muscles and prepared them for their 5K (3.1 miles) walk-it challenge around the town of Pleasant Hill in Contra Costa County. Everyone finished the walk thrilled and energized, while feeling their endorphin-rush.
Janice teaches Zumba Fitness classes and Zumbatomic (Kids’ Zumba) in Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Lafayette & Concord. Janice@ZumbaContraCosta.com
