Another year has passed. If I’m lucky, there will be many more to count.
A birthday is about celebrating life – your life. Although many people think of birthdays (or either forget) as a reminder that they’re getting older, we should think of each year as a victory!
As an effort to create a world with less cancer and MORE birthdays, the American Cancer Society and the Culinary Institute of America teamed up to create a healthier birthday cake. A quote from ACS sums it up perfectly,
“Birthday cakes help people celebrate important milestones in meaningful ways. We see a significant opportunity to use the American Cancer Society's new official birthday cake to inspire people to stay well and lead healthier lives through simple lifestyle changes.”
A healthy lifestyle is the key to reducing your risk of cancer, heart disease and other illnesses. By making small steps to live healthy, you will ultimately improve your chances to live a long and healthy life – and maybe even make it to 100 CAKES!

I will take this day to celebrate my life and give thanks for my health – and even enjoy a slice of my own [healthier] birthday cake!
