The restaurant of last month
was Pyzano’s
located at 3835 East Castro Valley blvd in the 580 Market place. Pyzano's
is great for all the hot august nights. If you don't feel like cooking
Pyzano‘s is the great idea the whole family will love. The pizzas are
excellent .The ingredients are fresh with a wide variety to choose from.
Pyzano’s atmosphere screams family with video games and sports games
running on the televisions, so dad won’t miss his game. A night out at
Pyzano's is fun and well worth it. Pyzano's we thank you for being a kid
friendly restaurant. |

Health
Breastfeeding is one of the greatest ways a mother
and baby can spend together. It helps reduce the risk of allergies,
asthma and colds. We all know the baby benefits from breastfeeding in
many ways. Now a study done by Oxford University in England of 150,000
women shows that breast-feeding helps mom fight the risk of breast
cancer .By breast feeding a child for at least 12months it lowers a
women’s risk of having breast cancer by 5%. Even women who have a
family history of breast cancer. This is one of the largest studies done
to monitor the connection of breastfeeding and breast cancer. A women
who is breast fed even for short amount of time has 25% lower risk of
developing breast cancer then a women who was bottle-fed. Although this
study is great news for breast feeding moms and the medical world we all
most remember to still check our breast once a month for lumps and get
regular mammograms. |
