    bestwriter wrote a new post, How to Keep Bad Cholesterol down the natural way 8 years, 1 month ago

    In the good old days no one knew what cholesterol was all about. My mother lived upto the age of  90 plus without checking her cholesterol levels. But these days there is the  Damocles Sword hanging over our h […]

    • I just found out that my HDL is low and my LDL is high but my triglycerides were normal. I know I need to make a change but I just don’t know where to start.

      • If you like wine go for red wine and see the difference. My doctor recommended that i take 190 ml on five days of the week. You can increase your exercise as well among other things that i have written about.

        Good wishes are on their way.

    • yes agree with you.and thank you for sharing useful information ,now a days because of the unhealthy food these kind of problems occurs in our body.

    • I feel bad that I was ignorant about cholesterol. My husband now has a heart condition and I worry if I could have changed our eating habits earlier on and prevented it. The thing is there were no warning signs. He was hardly ever sick. Even though heart disease is in his family, I thought his chances were minimal because he did not have the same bad habits as his father (mainly drinking and smoking). When he was diagnosed, I was completely taken aback. But I’ve since then adjusted and our diet has changed quite a bit. I had to change my diet to make sure he would change his. What are wives for? 🙂 We always look for natural ways to attack health problems.

    • I really wonder whether our old people really followed the tips that are mentioned in the article? No . Definitely ‘No’ is the answer as we all know. But how could they live for 80 and 90 years. What is the secret behind their living for good length of time? There is no answer that can give satisfactory explanation. THE IGNORANCE IS A BLISS THAN HAVING A KNOWLEDGE.

      The tips MENTIONED in the Article may be useful for keeping us fit because we do not do physical exercise. There are people who do not walk properly. All bad habits. Besides this we got a fear complex of Diabetes, blood pressure, kidney problem.Unfortunately, the Doctors are having do not having good standard. They know how to refer a patient for a medical tests and get their commission.

      I think doing some yoga regularly and nourishing the body with the tips enumerated in the article above will definitely keep one live long.

      • That is what I said in my post. My mother never knew there was such a thing as cholesterol and she lived beyond 90. Now that we know a bit about it, it haunts us.

    • Yes, it be cured naturally by everyone at home talking many positive exercises at homes on daily basis. Cholesterol is not a deadly poison, but a substance vital to the cells of all mammals. There are no such things as good or bad cholesterol, but mental stress, physical activity and change of body weight may influence the level of blood cholesterol. A high cholesterol is not dangerous by itself, but may reflect an unhealthy condition, or it may be totally innocent.

      I think that In certain aspects low cholesterol is worse than high cholesterol. Already fifteen years ago, American researchers found that low cholesterol predicts an increased risk of dying from diseases of the stomach, the intestines and the lungs.

      Children with allergic problems, such as asthma and hay fever, have lower cholesterol than healthy children. As allergic diseases have become more common and is still increasing in the Western world it is tempting to suggest that the cause is the increasing consumption of the polyunsaturated vegetable oils of the omega-6 type, because these oils are known to stimulate inflammatory processes, and allergy is a kind of inflammation.

    • He is such a handsome young man. I can tell he looks up to you in a big way. 🙂 So you are doing great in that arena. It is always good to hear good things come out of your kids mouth. It makes you feel like you have done something out of this world.

    • Awwwe how sweet sometimes kids can be such angels. They can surprise their parents in the most unusual ways, ways that parents wouldn’t have even imagined. You know many times parents may assume that kids don’t see or realize the things or sacrifices they make to see their kids through life. Sometimes the little things that they do are seen and the kids keep it to themselves until a time when they will need to express their feelings come up then they narrate all the things that their parents have done for them, and this comes as a surprise to the parents because they never thought that their child have captured some things.

    • just wonderful–many more other children his age should take an example from him—

    • I have read the whole essay keeping in mind the child age the essay is full wisdom and humor and the use of functional words leave wonderful effect on the readers.

      Guide him more in this field he may be a great write on growing up surely because great foot prints look separate in earth. Provide him more chances at home on different topics as my mother, my sister, my brothers…

    • Good article! I hace to say we hace at hime 2 dogs, 1 cat and 2 nice fishes… And that’s all! I mean, no goats or Guinea pigs!

    • I think I disregard th3 fa t that some people can keep certain animals as pets in their homes. Snakes for example why would someone keep something so harmful in their homes? What does a snake do for you other than scare you away? A gecko what good is it for surely. At least I know if I ha e a car that can chase away days and some creepy crawling things. And keep your house away from rodents that can cause problems or disease at some point. Having a dog is a good idea if will keep intruders out of your home that’s for a good course unlike other animals. I have grown up with dogs in our home so I love dogs and that can be very friendly as well. Having a dog can also create company just playing around with it is just a good feeling

    • Once upon a time, I had no idea what to write on my blog. Coming up with blog article titles was slow and painful.

      That was 10 years ago.

      Now, thousands of articles later, coming up with topics is easy. Not only do I publish articles on my two blogs, but I also publish hundreds of guest posts for dozens of publications.

      Wondering what happened along the way that made this process so much easier?

      I’m going to pull back the curtain on how I’m able to generate so many topics, and explain what it means to choose great article topics. I think you’ll find it helpful.

      Know your target audience.

      Let me deal with first things first — the “best possible blogging topics” are the best ones for your audience.

      Everything comes down to your audience. In fact, there is nothing more important, essential, and critical to blog success than knowing your audience.

      The story of my own blog is a testament to this fact. The longer I write my blog, the better I understand my audience. I read and respond to blog comments. I take time to read emails from my readers. I listen to what they have to say.

      Make relevance your guiding light.

      I’m going to introduce a concept, and then explain how to do it: Relevancy.

      Relevancy is nothing new. It’s popular to talk about relevancy and the need for relevancy in content marketing … but hang on a second.

      Find a blog to steal from.

      Someone once said, “Good artists copy. Great artists steal.”

      If you want to pick absolutely stellar topics, then go to the blogs that are already doing it and pilfer them. Lest you think I’m going nefarious, allow me to explain …

      I absolutely oppose anything remotely connected with stealing content or intellectual property. What I do suggest, however, is to identify a blog that is doing it right, and follow their example. Here’s the process:

    • Another wonderful dessert recipe with the taste of tropical paradise in it. 🙂

    • hmm, it look yummy. I would try it for my kids

    • That sounds so delicious with that mango pudding. When season of mango come, so many mango being rotten and people don’t even dare to look ways to have it preserved or cook for things that can be used for future use.

    • This post is very interesting. The pudding you have written about has to be tried comfortably with patience at convenient time. Of course, I am having patience in rich quantity. It is only the time I need.
      The pudding you have mentioned is somewhat similar to ‘MANGO TANDRA’. The difference is that it looks like small thick layers instead of juice or jelly.
      I like mangoes very much. I remembered the days when I ate number of mangoes and suffered from severe stomach pain. The only medicine the Doctor suggested me was to take them out by vomiting. He gave injection and brought the whole stuff out.
      In India this is called KING OF FRUITS. Here many people prefer it along with sweet curd. After the meals people mix the juice of Mango in their curd rice and eat it. They enjoy it. This is the only way of eating I avoid.

    • Wow sounds so so nice.

    • You are right. I am a Sagittarius and love mangoes since my childhood and even I am an old man but I still eat mango pudding made by my friend’s mom for me.

      Mango pudding is a popular dim sum dessert. Stephen Wong writes: “This simple dessert captures the glorious flavor of mango like no other. Its texture is silky rich, and its flavor, simply wonderful. Fresh cream is called for in the original recipe, but evaporated milk gives it the same richness without the fat.”
      Need a little help? Here are photo instructions showing how to make this recipe for Mango Pudding

      I have read ten benefits of mango pudding
      1. Prevents Cancer:
      2. Lowers Cholesterol:
      3. Clears the Skin:
      4. Improves Eye Health:
      5. Alkalizes the Whole Body:
      6. May Help with Diabetes:
      7. Promotes Healthy Sex:
      8. Improves Digestion:
      9. Helps Fight Heat Stroke:
      10. Boosts the Immune System:

      Keeping in mind these benefits it is most useful for human health. We must all eat the mango pudding making at home.

    It is a common scene when there
    is /are teenagers in the household.

     
    Parents amd teenagers couldn’t
    agree with the same point, they
    couldn’t sit on the same bar due to
    different point of view […]

    • The writer’s point of view about parents v children rivalry is feelings, and emotions of the child is not a correct concept of the writer because it is the fault of age in childhood and youth but in adulthood the main cause of rivalry is lack of true education and nothing else. The feelings and emotions are the same awarded by God on birth to every child. Actually birth planets settle human trends since childhood and the child follows his trend active on birth while parents force the child do what they want from her starts parents v children rivalry at home.

      When with the passage of time 90 per cent children mend selves by improving education leads the children to the right path. I am International Net Astrologer,have advised parents let the children follow their birth trends they will get success on growing up.

      That is why is said that follow the rend for success and the planets shape human trends in society and those who follow birth trends may not be a problem for parents, history is replete with such examples.

      JH Sayyat

    • It is good for parents and children to respect each other. When there is a lack of respect on either side, that is when complications arise. People can disagree with each other, but need to do so in a respectable way if they want to live together in some type of harmony.

      A person who owns/rents their home, whether they are a parent or not, is essentially “the boss” of anyone who they allow to stay under their roof, in their home. That being said, most of the time, the boss RULES. But… good bosses have respect, and are lenient and understanding when situations call for those types of responses.

      Sometimes parents are disrespectful to their children because the parent might feel like since they are the older adult, they are always right. On the other hand, some children are very disrespectful to their parents. The key (although sometimes easier said than done) is for both parties to respect the differences in one another.

      If one side is being respectful, let’s say the child is very respectful, but the parent for whatever reason is NOT, then it would be wise for the ‘child’ to leave the parental home as soon as possible.

      If things are the other way around, where the child is disrespectful for no reason to a very understanding and respectful parent, then it is up to the parent to make some decisions as to that child’s continued living arrangements in the parental home.

      Once living apart from each other, if the two still can’t get along, then limited contact is the best for everybody.

    bestwriter wrote a new post, Understanding Between a Writing Site and the Writer 8 years, 1 month ago

    Why should writing sites have an upper hand and the writer should humbly accept accusations hurled against them?
    When there is inter dependence there should be mutual respect. Many a writer has left the site […]

    • So the blame is on Google? That makes no sense at all. A writer should know that it can take months if not years for their articles to be de-indexed from Google. Is that Google’s fault? No. That is just how things work. Now a writer can ask Google to de-index their articles earlier but they are not obliged to do so. Why would anyone want to share the same article from one site onto another site? All material should be fresh and new. Even if it is just your blog.

      On EliteWriters, for example, if someone claims an article is plagiarized the owner wants to see proof of such claim. The owner will then check to see the links if any is given and go from there. If an article is found to be indexed on another site then it can be deleted without any warning. That is why it’s good to read the rules before a person gets started on any site.

      • When sites do not pay and the account there is deleted those sites where those Blogs are reposted could check. Barring the title the article does not show on the net. That much patience site owners should have.

    • The write of this article says right that posts are deleted by saying plagiarism giving no proof of plagiarism to the writer. It is not a good thing for the writer. I give my example, I posted my own written Sonnet and Ode but I was told that is is plagiarism. I request my humble readers that anyone can write my name in Google (jhsayyar) and find mind Urdu and English block on which I have written 463 Sonnets, 53 Odes and couple of hundred articles written on cricket matches prediction and songs how my own poetry may be plagiarism?

    • The site owners forget that it is the writers that sustains them. And they have to respect writers that they fully deserve.

    • Many sites do have plagiarism checker. Thee is a separate software also. It scans every article and co relates the source of the text of it is plagiarized. I do not know why these social blogging sites are not entertaining them. They need some additional staff also for this job as you said.

      But one thing is acceptable that plagiarism is not advisable under any circumstances. If some sites show discrimination in the payment like 1st, 2nd, and 3rd it is left to their own conscience. They definitely one day or the other will be paid in the same coin as happened to Bubnlews. The site is no more now.

    • I think writing sites ought to invest a bit in persons who sometimes randomly check posts for duplicated content apart from checker softwares.
      At times, huge volumes of posts or articles can present issues but then keeping users happy should be the topmost priority.

    • Excellent post. As indicated, Bub had it’s pets. These pets were the Shills who brought in warm bodies. These pets would race from site to site shouting; “I always got paid!”

      Hubpages suffers the kind of ‘pet’ situation in which other ‘writers’ will mark down your work so that it is ‘unfeatured’. This prevents you from earning revenue and allows them to write an almost plagiarised version of your work.

      Where writing sites abuse their writers, by not paying, low paying, long moderation periods, the writer will contribute elsewhere, which, of course creates the cycle of decline.

    • I’ve never liked the taste of cooked okra. My mother used to fix it a lot when I was a kid, and I hated it.

      The only kind of okra that I will eat is if it is fried and tastes crunchy. It can be rolled in a cornmeal mixture, then fried in olive oil, or maybe even coconut oil. I’ll even eat okra that has been roasted in the oven, but it can’t be slimy at all, or else I won’t eat it.

      I’ve never heard of it being prepared in the way you described, but if I liked okra I would try it your way 🙂
