Fats

The excessive use of fats has been linked to development of diabetes. A recent study at the University of Colorado Health Science Center, USA found that intake of an extra 40g of fat day increases the chances of developing diabetes by three times. Fat rich diet, especially one saturated with animal fat, seems to damage the insulin's effectiveness. Research at the University of Sydney in Australia measured the saturated fatty acids in the muscles cells of older non-diabetic men and the women undergoing surgery and found that higher the presence of saturated fatty acids in the cells, the greater the insulin resistance. On the other hand, higher tissue levels of polyunsaturated fats, particularly fish oil, indicated better insulin activity and lower resistance. Fish oil differs from animal fats in that fish oil contains polyunsaturated fatty acids. One of the fatty acids called omega-3 is especially good for the heart-it lowers cholesterol and protects from atherosclerosis. In fact, the researchers also reported that intake of omega-3 fish oil to the subjects effectively overcame their insulin resistance.

The Secrets Behind Tropical Fish Food

by Md Delower Hossain

Feeding your tropical fish the right tropical fish food is essential to ensuring their survival. Feed some species of fish the wrong food and they won't eat it. Some species will simply starve if they're not interested in the food you give them, whilst other species, such as those that are carnivores, may even eat smaller fish! So ensuring that your fish receive the right tropical fish food is important.


Now the first step to remember with tropical fish food is that quantity is just as important as the quality of the product you're giving. Give your pet tropical fish too much tropical fish food, even if it's good, and you'll notice your tank will begin to gain slime and the quality of your water will become bad. This can lead to further problems such as constant tank cleaning, and general poor health of your tropical fish.

SWEET SUGAR

 by Md Delower Hossain

The main sugars in food are sucrose, glucose, fructose, maltose and lactose. Sucrose is obtained from sugar cane and is usually called 'sugar'. In addition, sucrose (as well as glucose and fructose) is found in fruit, fruit juices and honey. Besides providing energy, sugars also produce the sensation of sweetness. Each sugar contributes the same amount of energy (kilocalories) to our diet regardless of its sweetness. Different sugars are not equally sweet and the degree of sweetness of a food is often not a good indication of the amount of sugars present. For example, as shown below maltose is only half as sweet as sucrose.


Sucrose or regular sugar has a relative sweetness of 0.7,glucose or grape sugar is 1.1,fructose or fruit sugar is.4,lactose or milk sugar is 0.5,maltose or malt sugar is also 0.5.

First Foods for Baby

by Md Delower Hossain

What are appropriate first foods for baby? Babies are generally ready for their first foods at around 6 months. If you start them earlier, there is a greater likelihood of allergies and other issues. If you wait too long, they may resist the change. Homemade baby food is perfect for first foods.

While you should always check with your doctor about what to feed your baby, here are some tips for starting your baby on solid food. 

Experts usually suggest that babies start with rice cereal since it is rare for rice to cause food allergies. Cereal can be mixed with breast milk or formula to make a thin consistency that just coats a spoon. Since baby is transitioning from liquids to a more solid meal, thick foods are too much for them and can cause them to gag. This can set up negative feelings about solids. As your child becomes more used to swallowing, you can slowly thicken the cereal every few days to make it more porridge-like.

When I was just a little boy, I asked my father "what will I eat? My father, having as limited a singing voice as myself, definitely didn't answer "Que sere, sera.

But, being without my mother on this particular occasion, he decided Mickey D's was the answer to my question.
