When I was young, my mother used to cook pork fat until it produces lard, a semi soft fat with a high saturated fatty acid content with no transfats. Then she will let it curd to a fatty white substance.I enjoy mixing it with a very hot rice with a sprinkle of salt to taste. It was the best for me at that time.

Maybe this is the reason why I now have hypertension.

Now, I take note of what I eat. If possible, less rice, less salt, more vegetables & fish.

Being overweight or obese can also lead to higher blood LDL levels. Regular exercise may help manage this risk factor.

The primary causes of high cholesterol are genetic – very high LDL levels are found in the inherited condition familial hypercholesterolemia.

Abnormal cholesterol levels can also arise due to other conditions:

diabetes
liver or kidney disease
polycystic ovary syndrome
pregnancy and other conditions that increase levels of female hormones
underactive thyroid gland
drugs that increase LDL cholesterol and decrease HDL cholesterol (progestins, anabolic steroids, and corticosteroids)

It is really hard to have arthritis. I remembered my late mother who almost cried in pain whenever she tried to stretch her legs to walk. The food one eats is one of the causes of arthritis.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

That’s the policy. Don’t let anybody tell you different. That’s the policy.

Trump is not America. Didn’t see his meeting with Merkel. Was not even interested. But the world need not shudder. 4 years goes by fast.

common sense is from learning, not degrees, but its from leanring from life it self, from experience from many things that sometimes it is realated to degrees but thats not the only reason after common sense. good post thanks for the ideas there and well done and well organized ideas to come with detailed post

I watch the old episodes of this show either on TV or via Netflix. I can’t get enough Rod Serling. I grew up watching this show and I am so glad to be able to watch the series again!! Images in black and white. Just like how I remember them! 🙂

Excellent question in the end of your article “One wonders what is going on.” Over the past few years, it seems to me as if the Western media is constantly pushing stories and images of homosexuality in our homes through plays, books, movies, and news. No story seems to be complete without a homosexual character even where it is not needed in the plot or has got nothing to do with the story.

I must agree that it being a movie that caters for children and their parents, that part should really be cut.

Indeed it seems that homosexuality now is now being injected in movies. Good if it is to make people laugh, it will be okay and can be watched by children, since gays are people filled with humor.

Actually, I haven’t seen that movie yet. Maybe because it’s the for children type of movie that’s why I am not interested, although I can watch that should I want to. I think the kid in me has already slept just waiting to be awakened.

Though here in the Philippines the children are used to seeing gays in fact some of them are already gays at a young age.

However, in your country where it is not yet openly accepted, it understandable that the said part be cut instead. That’s a good move of your government. I salute your government for doing that.

LOL. If people could re-write the Bible they’d make the relationship between David and Jonathan homosexual. Believe me I’ve heard people try to argue that! So there’s a gay scene in the latest version of “Beauty and Beast”. Why am I not surprised?
