Cholesterol Diet

Got heart problems? Watching your cholesterol intake? Worry no more. If you already have heart disease or at high risk of developing one, it is recommended that you go on a cholesterol diet. Cholesterol diet is a low fat diet that will reduce your blood cholesterol level. It will minimize the chance of having a future heart attacks and other heart disease.

If you want to go on a cholesterol diet you should minimize your intake of the day’s total saturated fat calorie by 7% and fat by 25-35 percent. Limit your sodium intake by 2400 milligrams daily. You must have enough calories for you to maintain a healthy weight and your blood cholesterol level. Ask your physician or dietician to what is your appropriate calorie level.

If your blood cholesterol is not low enough on your cholesterol diet, ask your doctor what is the suitable level of soluble fiber for you; or you can just add some cholesterol-lowering food products on your cholesterol diet.

If you want to dine out and still stick on your cholesterol diet, here are some tips for you to follow so that you will be able to maintain your cholesterol diet.
* Find out which restaurants have low saturated fat and have a low cholesterol menu.
* Sharing your dish with your companion or taking some home is advisable, better yet, you can also ask for appetizer-size servings or a side dish.
* Ask to separate the gravy, butter, rich sauces and dressings. You can control your cholesterol and saturated fat much easier that way.
* Ask the extras (salad, fries, baked potato) to be left off or substitute them.
* If you are craving for pizza, order the one that has vegetable toppings (green pepper, onions, and mushrooms) instead of meat or extra cheese. Or to make it easier for you, order it with half of the cheese or no cheese at all.
* If your dining on a fastfood restaurant, order salads, grilled skinless chicken sandwiches (fried and breaded are a no no), regular-sized hamburgers or roast beef sandwiches. Avoid large burgers, sandwiches and french-fries.
* Choose the dishes that are cooked on a low cholesterol method (broiled, steamed, au jus, garden fresh, baked, roasted, poached, tomato juice, dry boiled and lightly saturated)
* Be mindful of dishes that are high in saturated fat and cholesterol. (butter sauce, fried, crispy, creamed, au gratin, au fromage, escalloped, parmesan, hollandaise, béarnaise, marinated, stewed, basted, sautéed, casserole and pastry crust)

Take note that if you lose weight, your calorie needs will also be lowered. It will decrease the amount of saturated fat and the fat that you will be able to consume on the cholesterol diet. Don’t hesitate to consult your physician or dietician if you have questions regarding your cholesterol diet.

"Gourmet Cooking Schools and Vacations" from Infohub.com

The "Gourmet Cooking Schools and Vacations" at www.infohub.com
A Review...

Consumer: Gourmet Cooks

The purpose of the Gourmet Cooking Schools and Vacations page on the Infohub website is to provide information to those who are seeking gourmet cooking schools or gourmet cooking vacations.

Pros: There are so many choices here that it’s a bit mind boggling. How is one to choose only one from such a wide array of excellent choices? Under Gourmet cooking schools in California, for example, there are eight trips and schools ranging from 3 to 14 days. I want all of them! I can’t have all of them so choosing just one will take some time.

There are gourmet cooking schools and gourmet vacations for destinations all over the United States and around the world.

There are several pages of options listed under France.

Anyone who is considering going to a gourmet cooking school or taking a gourmet vacation should certainly be able to locate exactly the right thing for themselves on the Infohub website. The only problem will be choosing only one.

Cons: The only con that is discernible is making a choice between so many wonderful gourmet cooking schools and gourmet vacation packages.

Guarantee: There is no guarantee offered for any of the trips or schools that are listed on the Infohub website.

Value for money: There are so many possibilities for vacations and schools that it is impossible to evaluate the value of them.

"Apple Potato Peeler" from Vermont Country Store

The "Apple Potato Peeler" from Vermont Country Store at www.vermontcountrystore.com
A Riview...

Consumer: Gourmet Cooks

The purpose of the apple/potato peeler is simply to take the work out of peeling, coring and slicing apples and potatoes and to insure perfect and even slices every time.

Pros: Peeling, coring and slicing apples has always been one of the jobs I disliked the most when I am cooking. Peeling and slicing potatoes was my second least favorite task. Potatoes and apples are the basic ingredients in many of the gourmet dishes that I prepare so I have a lot of apples and potatoes to peel, core and slice. The Apple Potato Peeler solved both problems for me.

I love the way the Apple Potato Peeler can be set to either just peel or just core and slice. It does attach very firmly to the counter top with a vacuum seal and it is very easy to use. I just crank it and it does all of the work for me.

Cons: The apple/potato peeler is rather heavy. It does, however, stay put when you adhere the vacuum grip base to a counter top.

Guarantee: Lyman Orton, the owner of Vermont Country Stores says this, “My commitment to finding you practical, hard to find merchandise and to superior customer service remains absolutely unshakable. Everything you see in our catalogues, in our on-line store, and in our retail stores is 100% guaranteed to work like we say it will.”

Value for money: This apple/potato peeler is worth every penny of the cost. It does save time and effort but more importantly it insures uniform slices which are so important to gourmet cooks everywhere.

Genital Warts

"Eradicate Gentital Warts with extraordinary, simple, natural home remedies"

If you have genital warts and are looking for the most effective, easiest natural remedies to help you overcome this disease... this article was written for you.

I suffered from recurring genital warts for years - and I had tried every remedy and "cure" I had heard about...

I had tried every remedy and 'cure' I had heard about. I mean, I'd try darn near anything if I even suspected it might help cure my disease. Heck, I probably tried everything but going to a witch doctor and dancing around shrunken heads. Some of it worked - but a lot of it didn't!

Anyway, you can see why I was so stressed out all the time. I had been trying everything possible to help cure my disease and not much of it was working. Well, I decided. I would find something that worked...

How I Became A Genital Warts Expert

Okay, I'm not really a genital warts expert. But I do know a LOT more than the average sufferer.

Here's why:

I really decided I was going to figure this genital warts thing out, so I started studying. I read everything I could get my hands on.

I read about alternative therapies.

I read about traditional therapies, treatments and nutritional and lifestyle changes that people thought would help.

I had to look ALL over for this information - it was a REAL pain!

But I kept a record of every remedy that worked for me, and wrote down everything that didn't - and that's how I started becoming an 'expert'

Here's what I found out: it's easier than you think...

Turns out healing yourself is not complicated once you know a few basics.

In fact, it's just a matter of finding out what works for you and sticking to it. Once you have the right information ... the right guide ... you can just literally 'fail your way to success!

What do I mean by this? Simple. It's what I did.

I tried every remedy, cure and treatment I heard about and stopped using the ones that didn't work - and continued using the ones that DID work!

It's that simple, and that powerful...And you don't need to know a lot of medical stuff.

That's the big secret.

Here's the problem: there is no simple guide.

I searched and searched for a good simple guide to healing my genital warts.

You know, a booklet that was low on fluff and just tells me what I need to know about what options I had ... the remedies available ... and various treatments I could try.

I don't want to know all the medical details, or read a university-level course on biology, etc.

I just want to know...what are the basic things I can do that make my chances of healing my genital warts a lot better?

Just teach me those things, that's what I was thinking.I couldn't find such a guide.

So I compiled all my research, all the notes I had taken about what had worked for me, and had one created: "The Secrets Of Curing Your Genital Warts Naturally"

This is the guide I was looking for but couldn't find.

And here's just some of what's inside:

• All about genital warts and HPV - where genital warts come from, and what causes them. (page 6-18)

• What Causes Genital Warts - The most common causes of genital warts and what you can do to avoid a recurrence of them. (page 19-25)

• What you can do about genital warts - A simple guide to what you can do to cure your genital warts, along with the complications and risk factors involved. (pages 29)

• How to deal with genital warts emotionally- Why your emotions are important and how you can use even fear, anger, guilt and shame to help yourself. (pages 35-42)

• Everything you need to know about HPV and pregnancy - the facts you absolutely MUST know if you're pregnant and dealing with genital warts. (pages 44-46)

• The 9 most effective ways to prevent getting genital warts. These 9 simple steps have been proven over time to prevent getting genital warts! (pages 48-52)

• Medications 101: Everything you need to know about traditional medications you can take to cure genital warts. (page 57-62)

• Why natural remedies may be the answer you're looking for. Important considerations you should think about when deciding to cure your genital warts. (page 64)

• All about herbal cures. Herbal cures I've found most effective ... and the ones that didn't work so well. (pages 65-73)

• The amazing healing power of tea. The most effective teas for not only helping your genital warts, but also giving you a healthier lifestyle. (page 72-76)

• The 6 most effective vitamins and minerals. Nothing works better than these vitamins and minerals to give you health and healing. (page 80-82)

• What foods help cure your genital warts. The healthiest types of foods to eat and why they work. (page 82)

• How your high school reading teacher can help cure your genital warts (page 83)

• Do alternative treatments work? My personal experiences with acupuncture, acupressure, aromatherapy, heat pads, and hypnosis and my advice for you (pages 84-86)

Plus much more ...

This just scratches the surface of what's in the book.

I give you everything you need to really get started curing yourself.

I'm sure that right about now, you're wondering...

How Much Does The Book Cost?

The real question is: how much is it worth to finally know all the stuff about curing your genital warts you've always wanted to know?

I suppose you could do what most people do -- just "make it up as you go", and use the "trial and error" method.

(And take YEARS to figure it out—much like I did!)

But why not take advantage of the experience and knowledge I've put into this simple book?

And I boil it all down for you in very simple, easy to understand terms.

Less than 100 pages -- no fluff, all information you can put to work right now.

If it doesn't work - I'll send you back your money. Doesn't $14.95 seem reasonable?

When you order your copy of "Curing Your Genital Warts Naturally" today, you get the book as a downloadable eBook.

You can be reading "Curing Your Genital Warts Naturally" in as little as 2 minutes from right now (even if it's 2am on a Sunday!).

My automated and secure system will deliver your copy as a downloadable PDF file (which can be read on any computer). You can read the book on your computer, or you can print it out if you like.

Try The Guide Risk-Free For 8 Full Weeks.

See if it works for you -- if it gets you started on healing your genital warts (it will).

I don't want you to take any risk at all in ordering this book. So here's what I'm willing to do: you get the book and put me to the test for EIGHT WEEKS.

If at the end of the 8 weeks you don't feel the information you take away from my "life's work" was worth every penny you invested ...
