Cholesterol: What it is and what it does… Cholesterol is a steroid manufactured by the liver. It is used by the body to synthesize various hormones including sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone) and adrenal hormones (cortisol, aldosterone, dehydroepiandosterone.) In the presence of sunlight cholesterol in the skin is turned into vitamin D. And in your brain it is converted into neurotransmitters. The liver manufactures approximately 1000 mg of cholesterol per day. What is not used is converted into bile salts and excreted from the body via the intestinal tract. Things that make cholesterol go up: A diet low in soluble fiber. Sometimes, when the diet is low in fiber, it is possible to reabsorb cholesterol through the intestinal wall, causing the level of cholesterol in the blood to rise. Most fibers, by the way, are types of carbohydrates that we can’t digest because we lack the necessary enzymes to break them down into sugar. Some fibers are water soluble. They dissolve...

Sometimes, when we talking to a guy, they staring at our boobs. Hey my-eyes-are-up-here... Men see boobs and they can't help but look. But nowadays, many women go out in revealing shirts with the exact intention of grabbing a man's attention, so why is it that in certain instances a guy taking a look makes us feel angry, annoyed or disgusted? As for me please have enough respect to actually look at me when I am speaking. But as for some men, “as long as you keep showing them, we’ll keep looking at them, if you don’t want them seen, cover them up”. How do you react when you catch a guy looking at your boobs?

Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose - combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proved that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. A banana can help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must for our daily diet. Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND among people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, one of the twenty common "amino acids" that make up all proteins that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier. PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood. Anemia: High in iron, ...

What a lousy booking system, Go Holiday! I was supposed to make five (5) rooms booking, but unfortunately AirAsia Go Holiday system only allows two (2) rooms booking at one time. I made the booking for first two (2) rooms than continue with another one more room. When I wanted to book the balance two (2) rooms, the hotel name I booked earlier has no longer available... I'm panicked! (macam beruk kepanasan, but trying to act cool) Flight for all passengers already been made and I cannot book the two rooms. I’d contacted the hotel directly trying my luck to get the room, but rooms not available... I thought AirAsia can help me to change the hotel booked into another hotel which available for all 5 rooms, but they just said, sorry, you cannot change your booking. That's it? It's your system didn't allow me to make all 5 rooms booking at one time and now I guess it's my fault to use Go Holiday! Normally I will survey the internet for better room rate, it's just t...

Beza Antara Merebut Nama Allah Dan Mempertahankan Akidah Posted By admin On March 2, 2009 (12:16 pm) In Akidah Isu dalam artikel ini telah ditulis oleh Dr Mohd Asri Bin Zainul Abidin setahun yang lalu. Dicadangkan untuk pembacaan. Article taken from Minda Tajdid - http://drmaza.com/home Banyak pihak mendesak saya memberikan pandangan tentang penggunaan nama Allah oleh agama lain khususnya agama Kristian di Malaysia ini. Pada awalnya, saya selalu mengelak, cuma memberikan pandangan ringkas dengan berkata: “Isu ini bukan isu nas Islam, ianya lebih bersifat pentadbiran atau tempatan. Peraturan ini mungkin atas alasan-alasan setempat seperti kenapa sekarang baru ditimbulkan isu ini? Kenapa hanya Bible dalam bahasa melayu sahaja yang hendak menggunakan panggilan Allah, tidak pula edisi inggerisnya? Adakah di sana ada agenda tersembunyi? Maka wujudnya tanda soal dan beberapa prasangka yang mungkin ada asasnya. Maka lahirlah kebimbangan terhadap kesan yang bakal timbul dari isu itu nanti. Na...

A letter of appeal to Malaysians Politicians from Anas Zubedy . Our politicians, please hear us, please get back to work!.. . Dear Malaysian Politicians, Please stop the power chase, call for a truce and focus on the economy. I do not claim to speak on behalf of all Malaysians, but I have strong convictions that many share my sentiments. Our concern today is not who rules the country or heads the state governments but the looming bad economy. Whether Barisan Nasional or Pakatan Rakyat leads, it is meaningless if Malaysians have no job to go to, no money to pay rent and no means to put food on the table. I am a business owner, like other business owners and managers of corporations I have a responsibility to ensure people under my care and payroll continue to have jobs and a decent income to take home. We work hard and willing to go the extra mile to make sure our nation not only survive this crisis but come out stronger and wiser. We need your help. Let me explain. I am in the business...

Ismail gesa pelaksanaan PPSMI dihentikan (utusan Malaysia Online 16hb Februari 2009) KUALA LUMPUR 15 Feb. - Pelaksanaan Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran Sains dan Matematik dalam Bahasa Inggeris (PPSMI) perlu dihentikan segera kerana ia akan hanya melenyapkan bahasa Melayu sebagai salah satu daripada bahasa ilmu dunia. Ketua Satu Gabungan Persatuan Penulis Nasional (Gapena), Tan Sri Dr. Ismail Hussein berkata, selain itu, PPSMI juga melanggar kesucian Perlembagaan Persekutuan yang jelas menyatakan kedudukan bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa pengantar bagi subjek-subjek utama di sekolah. Beliau menegaskan, sebagai salah satu elemen dalam Gerakan Mansuhkan PPSMI (GMP), Gapena tidak langsung menghalang perkembangan bahasa Inggeris dalam negara ini tetapi menolak penggunaannya sebagai bahasa pengantar bagi kedua- dua subjek berkenaan. ''Gapena juga mendapati PPSMI mengurangkan penguasaan pelajar Melayu dalam bahasa ibunda selain melemahkan kemahiran pelajar kaum lain dalam bahasa tersebut,...

Those born under the influence of the Ox are fortunate to be stable and persevering. The typical Ox is a tolerant person with strong character. Not many people could equal the resolution and fearlessness the Ox exhibits when deciding to accomplish a task or an objective. As we used this great creature long ago to plow the soil day after day, so do Ox people labor through their daily responsibilities either at work or at home without complaint or gripe. Oxen know they will succeed through hard work and sustained effort and find no truth or benefit in concocting get-rich-quick schemes. THE SIGN OF THE OX Pragmatic and down-to-earth, Ox people are motivated to work hard and have no respect for lazy or careless people. Although they can be easily trusted and find it easy to put trust in others, they are not dependent on friends and family and would rather find an answer or a solution themselves than to ask these people for help or guidance. However, others can, without a doubt rely on Oxen...
