Did you know that you can get paid while simply posting your day-to-day bluffs on your blog?
I have a simple tip to give you. Monetize your blogs and websites by signing up for Adsense. What is Adsense? These are the tiny advertisements you see on the internet. These are ads paid for by publishers in order to market their site or have internet users see their ad or site.
First thing you have to do is setup your blog or website, if you don’t have one yet. If you already have one…you can proceed to sign up for an Adsense account. (Note: It is important that you state your real identity, address, and contact nos. at your Adsense account to make sure you receive your payment) Upon getting your personal Adsense account…you simply have to put on your blog or website the Adsense code that will be given to you. And the code will run by itself and earn money for you while you sit back and do nothing but blog.

The Facts on Fats
—————————————————————————————————————————- DISCLAIMER: Please know that I didn’t write this article and it is an exact copy of the article Frances Largeman, R.D. wrote for Discovery Health. And I am posting it here in tribute of Kuya Gabby…a dear friend who is just a major-OC on fats, diet, and gym.
—————————————————————————————————————————-
Saturated, monounsaturated, trans and poly. Are you confused yet? You may be even if you’ve been keeping up on what types of fat to eat and which to shun. By now you’ve probably heard of stealthy trans-fats. If they’re not on the “Nutrition Facts” panel yet, they’re soon to arrive.Trans-fats are sinister because like saturated fat, they raise total cholesterol and LDL, the “bad” cholesterol levels. Trans-fats lower levels of beneficial, HDL cholesterol in the body. Also, consumption of trans-fats may inhibit the absorption of healthy fats that are necessary for the growth and functioning of vital organs. Though much has been made about the dangers of trans-fats, experts caution that those warnings shouldn’t overshadow the potentially disastrous effects of saturated fats. Medical expert Dr. Andrea Pennington states that saturated fats “…increase your cholesterol levels, which can lead to clogged arteries, heart attacks, strokes and obesity.”
Before we go any further, let’s take a closer look at the different types of fats:
- Monounsaturated: These “good” fats are found mainly in plant sources, like nuts, avocados and olive, peanut and canola oils. They are liquid at room temperature.
- Polyunsaturated: These fats, which include the healthy omega-3 fatty acids, are also found in plant oils such as safflower, sunflower, corn, flaxseed and canola oils, as well as in seafood. Polyunsaturated fats are either liquid or soft at room temperature. Essential fatty acids — alpha-linolenic and linoleic acid — are also in the polyunsaturated group. These fats, which we need to get from the foods we eat, are necessary for the creation of cell walls and hormones in the body.
- Saturated: These fats are found mostly in animal products. Red meat, poultry, cheese, butter and other dairy products are the main sources. Some plant products like palm, coconut and palm kernel oil are also saturated. These fats are solid at room temperature.
- Trans-: This type of fat is formed when unsaturated vegetable oils are hydrogenated (or partially hydrogenated) to form solid, more stable fats. Hydrogen atoms are actually added to the oils. Trans-fats include margarine and shortening and are found in everything from crackers, cookies, doughnuts, frozen pie crusts, deep-fried foods, and foods with chocolate coatings.
Butter vs. Margarine
This debate has raged on for years. If you’re looking for a healthy morning spread, avoid stick margarine. Choose a light, soft margarine or butter substitute that says “trans-fat free” on the package. Butter lovers should use it sparingly to cut down on saturated fat.
Trimming the Fat
- Keep your total fat intake to around 30 percent of your total calorie intake
- Limit saturated fat intake to no more than 7 to 10 percent of your intake
- Get about 10 to 15 percent of total calories from monounsaturated fats
- About 10 percent of calories should come from polyunsaturated fats
For an individual eating 2,000 calories a day this translates to 66 grams of total fat and no more than 16 to 22 grams of saturated fat per day. Though the Nutrition Facts label won’t be listing trans fats until January 2006, it’s best to steer clear from foods containing them.
What’s the bottom line? At 9 calories per gram, fats are our most caloric energy source, so we need to keep track of how much we’re eating, no matter what type. Still, you’ll improve your health greatly by eating more monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3 fatty acids. Make an effort to cut back on saturated fats and try to avoid trans-fats.
How can you scout the supermarket aisles for products with trans-fats since they’re not yet on food labels? Look for the words “hydrogenated” and “partially hydrogenated” and steer clear of these products.
