The Asian Superfood Is Best To Reduce Cholesterol
We feed soybeans to chickens. But in Asian countries, people eat soybeans as well as soy foods such as tofu nearly every day. These foods contain compounds that help lower cholesterol, and this may explain, at least in part, why cholesterol levels in Japan are so much lower than they are here in the United States. Studies have shown that replacing protein from animal sources with about 1 ounces of soy protein a day can lower total cholesterol by 9 percent. It lowers dangerous LDL cholesterol even more, by 13 percent. Tofu and other soy foods contain compounds called phytoestrogens.

Nutmeg Controversy
While researching the history, origins and uses of the nutmeg, common enough in Western cuisine, I asked my husband what it was called in Urdu. He didn't know, which was curious, as he's a very good cook and has spent 15 years in Europe. So began more research.

Mace is used in up-market garam masala and small pieces are added to biryanis, on special occasions, in Pakistani and Indian cookery. A blade of mace currently costs a little more than 50 Pakistani rupees, and to put that into...

15 Simple Metabolism Boosting Secrets
Your metabolism is the rate at which your body burns calories. The faster you burn calories the more weight you can lose even if you eat the same amount, so it makes sense to do everything you can to boost your metabolic rate if you're trying to lose a few pounds.

About 30% of the calories are accounted for by how much you move (your activity metabolism). The remaining 10% are used up by the process of digesting food (your thermic metabolism). By making some simple changes you can fire up all three types of metabolism and become leaner faster. 1. Eat little and often Small and regular...
