Preparation
Combine all ingredients for Cajun Spice Mix in a small bowl and stir
thoroughly to mix. Store in a spice jar or other air-tight container.
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil and add corn. Cook for 5 minutes
until bright yellow. Remove corn with tongs and reserve 1 cup of the
cooking liquid. Cool corn and cuts kernels off the cobs. Place in a
larger mixing bowl.
Wash the kale in a large basin of cold water. Strip or cut leaves from
tough stems. Discard stems. Chop kale leaves medium fine. Bring
reserved corn cooking liquid to a boil, add chopped kale, and cook
for 5 minutes or until kale is just tender and still bright green.
Remove from cooking liquid with a slotted spoon and spread on a large
plate to cool quickly. When kale is cool, toss together with corn,
red and green pepper, onion, garlic, and Cajun spices.
Just before serving, toss with the lemon juice for a nonfat salad.

Food Tips of the Week
A few tips on healthy eating
In planning a diet, the important thing is to also endeavour to restrict your ingestion of refined carbohydrates, salt and fats.
The case against low carbohydrate diets
Its popular as hell, but it is really safe for you?
Moreover, it has been suggested that the kidneys can become overworked and that the resultant change in acid levels in the blood causes bone loss, but some of the scientifc research testing the theory have struggled to find significant evidence of deterioration of the kidneys or bone damage.
The majority of the undesirable side-effects observed, such as feeling tired, diarrhea, constipation, or bad headaches are only temporary, but critics contend that low carb diets are not without serious long term side effects.
Foods containing carotenes
(includes cilantro, mangos and winter squash)
These foods contain alpha-carotene and beta-carotene believed to play a major part in preventing cancer, particularly those cancers involving the lungs. Most also have a low calorie count, so are ideal for including in your weight loss program.
