Title: Hdl cholesterol, Ldl Cholesterol Readings and what they mean.

Author: By Romuald Moskova

Article:

In the world of cholesterol, there are two different types of
cholesterol. LDL and HDL are the two different types; LDL is the
bad cholesterol and HDL is the good cholesterol. Cholesterol is
important to have in the body, and being able to learn how to
read cholesterol readings is the first step in helping you to
take charge of your health. Cholesterol is all important, it
helps our bodies to build and restore tissues but too much of
the wrong kind can wear on the heart, leading to unwanted heart
problems in the future. LDL is the worst thing to have built up
around your arteries, and that is the stuff that leads to heart
attacks. Keep an eye on your cholesterol levels as often as you
can.

Ins and Outs of Cholesterol Readings

the good thing about HDL is that it helps to push the LDL away
from your arteries and have it eliminated. That is why it is
important to have an appropriate level of HDL as a means of
helping to control the LDL. When you visit your doctor and take
a look at your cholesterol readings, you will see that there are
three readings before you. They are HDL, LDL and Triglyceride
levels, and should be listed as such. For optimum health it is
important to have less than 160 mg/dL, more than 40 mg/dL of HDL
and less than 200 triglycerides in the body.

These are not exact amounts, and age and weight do cause these
levels to vary, but by performing a cholesterol reading test at
home you should be able to see what is normal for you. Knowing
what your cholesterol levels should be is the best tool you have
in being able to correctly read cholesterol level readings.

Some Tips: Bad cholesterol is high in a great deal of the foods
that most people think are good for them and part of a healthy
diet. Fish, seafood, eggs and dairy are all things you should
eat in moderation. Fruits, veggies and grains are all things
that have high levels of good cholesterol, as they were grown
from the soil.

Title: Use Iron and B Vitamins To Improve Your Brain Activity

Author: Rudy Silva

Article:
Iron and Dementia

In the US iron deficiency has been found to be a major problem
in people of all ages. Everyone knows the lack of iron causes
anemia. Iron is the center of our red blood cells, which allow
oxygen to be carried throughout your body and into your brain.
Your brain uses over 20% of the oxygen available in the blood.
Lack of oxygen has a major impact on your brain’s health and in
the formation of dementia.

When a person is deficient in iron, they may have difficulty in
keeping a conversation or in keeping a good attention span.

The actual ability to absorb iron into your body is dependent on
the amount of acid you have in your stomach. If you have acid
reflux or heartburn and are using drugs or antacids to get
relief, you are affecting your ability to absorb iron.

To absorb iron, the pH in your stomach has to be normal, 1 – 2
pH. Under these conditions, iron in your stomach chemically
reacts with other chemicals and is prepared for absorption in
the small intestine.

When you take drugs to reduce the acid in your stomach, the iron
does not chemically react and change for proper absorption in
the intestine. The result is iron deficiency.

Here are some of the best foods that have iron.

Fired liver, fried kidney, fired chicken liver, wheat bran,
ovaltine, coco powder, spinach, parsley, radishes, peas, leeks,
carob bar, sesame seeds, pistachio nuts, dried coconut, cashew
nuts, muesli, cornflakes, oatmeal, brown rice, total cereal,
baked potato Use 25 to 50 mg of iron supplement daily. If you
take iron supplements check with your doctor to see if you
really need them. Take excessive iron can result in poisoning.
Keep iron supplements away from children B-Vitamin

The B-vitamin folic acid and B12 have also been a major problem
in the US. B12 has been consistently found deficient in people
with Alzheimer’s. Folic acid and B12 have been found to improve
mental health in people who were in metal institutions.

Folic acid and B12 work to produce neurotransmitters and replace
nerve cells. The lack of neurotransmitters is responsible for
loss of a good memory.

To make sure B vitamins work for you in keeping your mental
capacities in tack start making sure you are getting them in
your diet or taking them as a supplement. If supplementing, use
the B50 or B100 complex.

It appears that after a certain age B12 will not help in
alleviating mental changes or problems.

Here are some the best foods that have B vitamins.

* fish and seafood * whole grains breads, cereals, oats, and
barley * chicken, beef, eggs * most leafy green vegetables,
avocados * cheese, milk and yogurt * beans and peas * oranges,
lemons, grapefruits * various nuts

It is always best to get your minerals and vitamins in food. In
food, minerals and vitamins are combined with other chemicals
that allow your body to absorb them better than supplements.

Title: How To Cook Wahoo

Author: Sarah Sandori

Article:
Wahoo! I have to admit, I love the name of this fish. I also
love how it tastes.

Wahoo is not exactly the cheapest fish in the seafood market,
nor is it one that’s always readily available. There are two
reasons for this that I’m aware of:

1) Wahoo is in high demand from seafood connoisseurs who prize
it for its delicate, white, high-quality flesh.

2) Wahoo is a real loner among fish. It rarely schools with
others of its kind, so fisherman are lucky to ever find more
than one or two in any given haul. Solitary individuals are
generally taken as a “bycatch” with tuna and other large species.

As a side note, wahoo is a very fast running fish–some say the
fastest fish in the world. A few people have claimed that its
name comes from the shout of “Wahoo!” by those fishermen who
manage to hook one. (Others say, though, that it comes from the
name of Oahu, one of the Hawaiian islands.)

Wahoo can reach up to 6 feet in length, and weigh up to 100
pounds, so a single fish–if and when someone is lucky to find
and catch one–can provide a good deal of meat.

You can bake or grill wahoo and it will make a fine meal either
way.

Baked Wahoo

Ingredients

3 lbs. of wahoo

1 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon lime juice

1/2 cup pickle relish

2 tablespoons chopped chives

Directions

Mix mayonnaise, lemon and lime juice, pickle relish, and chives.
Coat the fish all over with this mixture. Wrap fish in aluminum
foil. Bake for 1/2 hour in oven preheated to 350 degrees F. If
fish does not appear to be thoroughly cooked after 1/2 hour,
bake for another 10 minutes.

Simple Grilled Wahoo

Ingredients

4 wahoo steaks

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 tablespoon lime juice

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon paprika

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Directions

Whisk together olive oil, lime and lemon juice, paprika, and red
pepper in a small bowl. Place wahoo in a dish. Pour the marinade
mix over the fish, place in refrigerator, and let stand for half
an hour. Remove wahoo steaks from fridge, remove from pan, and
grill directly over charcoal for 15 minutes, turning once during
that time. You can use the leftover marinade mix to baste the
fish while it is grilling.

NEW YORK, May 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Meat, Poultry & Seafood Packaging Market

http://www.reportlinker.com/p060997/Meat-Poultry–Seafood-Packaging-Market.html

Case-ready packaging, rising exports to fuel gains

US demand for meat, poultry and seafood packaging will increase 3.0 percent per annum to $9.2 billion in 2015. Gains will be fueled by expanding meat, poultry and seafood production, as well as increasing export opportunities to countries such as Japan and Chile. Packaging demand will also be stimulated by the ongoing shift to case-ready packaging by many retailers as a means of reducing in-store labor costs. Case-ready packaging generally uses more expensive trays and high barrier films, thus bolstering value gains. Packaging demand will also be aided by the increasing incorporation of value added features such as zipper closures; the expanding number of meat and poultry items in smaller, more convenient sizes; and the growing range of products that are further processed. Many such products, which are favored by consumers for their easy preparation and storage capabilities, tend to use more packaging relative to their volume than larger unprocessed items. Value gains will be limited by a moderation in prices of such raw materials as paper and metal.

Flexible packaging to outpace rigid packaging

Flexible packaging demand will continue to outpace rigid packaging, increasing at a 3.7 percent annual rate to $3.7 billion in 2015. Gains will be bolstered by good opportunities for high barrier film and pouches. Demand for high barrier film will benefit from a favorable outlook for case-ready packaging, which requires value-added materials to prolong shelf life and protect contents during shipping and handling. Pouch demand will be driven by further inroads by retort pouches into traditional can applications and healthy gains for stand-up pouches in frozen meat, poultry and seafood applications stemming from pouches’ enhanced visual appeal, reseal ability and ability to be stored vertically in freezer cases. Below-average growth in rigid packaging will reflect maturity in the large corrugated box segment and minimal advances for metal cans. However, plastic containers and trays will post robust gains. Demand for plastic containers will be driven by heightened demand for prepared meat and poultry items in supermarkets and other retail locations as a result of consumer preference for convenience foods that require little or no preparation. Tray demand will be aided by the growing use of case-ready packaging, which often employs larger foam or more costly rigid barrier trays. Increasing use of more expensive biodegradable trays will also stimulate value gains. Demand for packaging accessories will benefit from regulations requiring nutrition information and country-of-origin labels on a variety of meat and poultry items.

Ready-to-eat market to post fastest growth

The ready-to-eat market will log the fastest increases, driven by the growing range of prepared foods in the retail sector. Demand in the fresh and frozen market will be supported by the rising presence of case-ready and modified atmosphere packaging to extend the shelf life of fresh meat, poultry and seafood. In the processed market, demand will be helped by the continued popularity of resealable plastic tubs for sliced lunch meats.

Study coverage

This report presents historical demand data (2000, 2005 and 2010) plus forecasts for 2015 and 2020 by packaging product (e.g., boxes, film, bags), application and market (fresh and frozen, processed, ready-to-eat). The study also considers market environment factors, assesses the industry structure, evaluates company market share data, discusses key competitive variables and profiles 36 US industry participants.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    In the second administrative review of the antidumping duty order
on shrimp from Vietnam, the Department reviewed

[[Page 27992]]

63 companies. See Final Results, 73 FR at 52275. Of those 63 companies,
two companies were selected for individual examination, 26 cooperative,
non-individually examined respondents demonstrated eligibility for, and
received, a separate rate, and 35 companies were considered part of the
Vietnam-Wide entity because they did not demonstrate eligibility for a
separate rate. The Department explained in the Final Results that the
statute and the Department's regulations do not directly address the
establishment of a rate to be applied to companies not selected for
individual examination where the Department has limited its examination
in an administrative review pursuant to section 777(A)(c)(2) of the
Act. The Department's practice in this regard, in cases involving
limited selection based on exporters accounting for the largest volumes
of trade, has been to weight-average the rates for the selected
companies excluding zero and de minimis rates and rates based entirely
on facts available. Because the Department calculated zero and de
minimis rates, respectively, for the two mandatory respondents, the
Department assigned to the non-individually examined respondents in
this administrative review with no history of a calculated margin a
separate rate of 4.57 percent, \2\ as a reasonable method reflective of
the range of commercial behavior demonstrated by exporters of the
subject merchandise during a very recent period in time. See Final
Results, 73 FR at 52275 and Comment 6. For those respondents that were
not selected for individual examination and received a calculated rate
in a more recent or contemporaneous prior segment, we assigned that
calculated rate as the company's separate rate in this review. See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The 4.57 percent margin is the rate calculated for
cooperative separate rate respondents in the underlying
investigation.

    In Amanda Foods (Vietnam) Ltd., et. al v. United States Court No.
08-00301 Slip Op. 09-106 (CIT September 29, 2009) (``Amanda I''), the
Court remanded the separate rate assignment methodology to the
Department to either assign to Plaintiffs the weighted-average rate of
the mandatory respondents, or else provide justification, based on
substantial evidence on the record, for using another rate. See Amanda
I at 30. Consequently, in the Department's remand redetermination for
Amanda I, we further explained the reasonableness of the methodology
applied in the Final Results.
    In Amanda Foods (Vietnam) Ltd., et al., v. United States, Consol.
Court No. 08-00301 (June 17, 2010) (``Amanda II''), the Court disagreed
with the Department's further justification for applying its separate
rate methodology, and remanded the issue back to the Department a
second time. On remand, the Court ordered the Department to employ a
reasonable method {to assign a separate rate{time} , which may ``
`include{e{time}  averaging the estimated weighted average dumping
margins determined for the exporters and producers individually
investigated,' 19 U.S.C. 1673d(c)(5)(B) and* * *assign to Plaintiffs
dumping margins for the second POR which are reasonable considering the
evidence on the record as a whole; to do so, Commerce may reopen the
evidentiary record if need be.'' See Amanda II remand opinion and order
at 26.
    In our Amanda II remand redetermination, under respectful protest,
the Department determined that, in this instance, it was necessary to
reopen the evidentiary record to gather additional information,
specific to each of the 23 Plaintiffs, in order to comply with the
Court's order. As detailed within footnote 22 of Amanda II, we reopened
the record to gather the quantity and value of Plaintiffs' sales to the
United States during the period of review (``POR'') on a count-size
specific basis to analyze the data to determine whether a reasonable
separate rate assignment methodology is supported by the supplemented
evidentiary record. See Amanda II at footnote 22. The 23 Plaintiffs
provided the necessary data which the Department evaluated to determine
whether there was evidence of dumping by the 23 Plaintiffs on the
record. See Amanda II remand redetermination at 5.
    After having conducted our analysis, the Department determined that
the record, with the additional count-size specific quantity and value
data, did not show evidence of dumping by the 23 Plaintiffs during this
POR. Id., at 5-6. Thus, because the Department has not found any
evidence of dumping by Plaintiffs during this POR based on the
information currently on the record, we determined to assign, under
protest, a separate rate to these 23 Plaintiffs equal to the simple
average of the dumping margins calculated for the individually-examined
companies.\3\ Id., at 6-7.

Timken Notice

    In its decision in Timken, 893 F.2d at 341, as clarified by Diamond
Sawblades, the CAFC has held that, pursuant to section 516A(e) of the
Act, the Department must publish a notice of a court decision that is
not ``in harmony'' with a Department determination and must suspend
liquidation of entries pending a ``conclusive'' court decision. The
CIT's April 14, 2011 judgment sustaining the Department's remand
redetermination constitutes a final decision of that court that is not
in harmony with the Department's Final Results. This notice is
published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken.
Accordingly, the Department will continue the suspension of liquidation
of the subject merchandise pending the expiration of the period of
appeal or, if appealed, pending a final and conclusive court decision.
The cash deposit rate will remain the company-specific rate established
for the subsequent and most recent period during which the respondents
were reviewed.

Amended Final Results

    Because there is now a final court decision with respect to the 23
Plaintiffs named above, revised dumping margins are as follows:

    \4\ The separate rate margins for the 23 Plaintiffs are
inclusive of the companies' names and trade names as they appeared

At the request of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Marshals last month seized seafood products manufactured by the Meiko Food Co. of South El Monte because the products are adulterated.

A complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, alleges that Meiko Foods manufactures and packages ready-to-eat seafood, including cooked seafood balls and fried fish cakes, without having a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) plan in place, in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

The HACCP program is a science-based system of preventive controls for food safety that was designed to increase the margin of safety for U.S. consumers, and to reduce the potential for illnesses to the lowest possible levels.

FDA regulations require commercial processors of fish and fishery products to conduct a hazard analysis to determine whether there are potential food safety hazards and to identify and develop preventive measures to control those hazards.

The FDA issued a warning letter to Meiko Food on Nov. 3, 2010, for not having a HACCP plan in place. A subsequent FDA inspection conducted between April and May 2011 revealed that the firm did not correct the deviations cited in the November 2010 warning letter, including significant HACCP deviations.

There have been no reported illnesses associated with these products.

Title: Atkins Diet vs South Beach Diet…

Author: Tamara Baruhovich

Article:
Which one is best for me?

If you are confused about all the Low Carb terminology and the
diversity of the Low Carb diets, you are not alone. Many who
have decided to go Low Carb find it difficult to choose the
right plan for them. How can a person choose between the Atkins
diet vs South Beach diet? Or The Zone diet vs the Protein Power
diet? Or even between the Schwarzbein Principle vs the
Neanderthin?

The Atkins diet and the South Beach diet are indeed the most
popular ones, so I’ll address their main differences in this
article. However, if you are seriously thinking about going Low
Carb, there are a variety of plans that should also be explored.
Remember that choosing the right diet for you before you start
your plan, will greatly increase your chances at successful
weight loss as well as helping you keep the weight off
permanently.

Let’s review some generalities about these two plans. Dr. Arthur
Agatstone is an M.D. in South Beach., Miami, hence the diet’s
name. Dr. Agatstone developed his diet initially to help
pre-diabetic and high cholesterol patients. He noticed that
weight loss was a nice side effect of his recommendations and
that prompted Dr. Agatstone to write his famous book. The main
purpose of the South Beach diet is to keep insulin and glucose
levels even at all times as well as lowering bad cholesterol and
triglycerides. This is achieved by avoiding refined
carbohydrates, saturated animal fats and trans-fatty acids. Most
vegetables are permitted as well as fish, poultry, eggs and
seafood amongst other foods. Drinking lots of water is
encouraged too. Bread, pasta and grains, as well as sugar, dairy
and fruit juice are not allowed.

Dr. Robert Atkins, M.D. originally developed the Atkins diet in
1972. It has had several reviews since. Over 20 million people
have already welcomed the diet as a way to lose weight. Dr.
Atkins goal was to provide people with a lifetime nutritional
philosophy, not just with a quick fix. That is why his plan is
based on a series of steps to help people modify their daily
diets by controlling their intake of refined carbs, like bread,
starchy vegetables, pasta, rice and cereal; as well as
encouraging people to increase the consumption of meat, fish,
turkey and chicken. Dr. Atkins also emphasized the importance of
taking nutritional supplements, as well as exercising and taking
regular tests for blood sugar levels, cholesterol and
triglycerides.

Pretty similar plans, aren’t they? So which one is best? Let’s
continue exploring the Atkins diet vs South Beach diet…

One of the most critical differences between these plans is
related to the consumption of fats. While South Beach advises to
reduce dairy products and red meat, Atkins advises on the
consumption of a variety of fats including red meat. Unlike
South Beach, butter is allowed in Atkins. Also, Omega-3 fatty
acids are allowed in South Beach but Omega-6 fatty acids are not
mentioned in this diet plan. In comparison, both Omega-3 and
Omega-6 fatty acids should be balanced according to the Atkins
plan.

Another difference lies in the way carbs are counted in both
diets. Atkins recommends counting all carbs that do not contain
fiber, as well as counting carbs by grams per day. South Beach
on the other hand, suggests Carb counting according to the
portions per serving, and puts no limit in the consumption of
non-starchy veggies.

There are a few other minor differences, but these are the main
ones. Remember that the secret to success with any diet lies in
these simple steps… choosing the right diet for you, sticking
to the plan, exercising, and committing to a lifetime of habit
changing behavior… are you ready for this type of commitment?
Will you choose the Atkins diet vs South Beach diet or the other
way around? Maybe you’ll even consider another Low Carb plan…
Whatever works for you personally, that should be the best diet
for you. Do some research. Become familiar with your options.
Ask questions. Consult with your physician before you start any
plan. Your health is your most valuable asset. Take time to
decide what’s best for you, and you’ll be pleased with the
results you’ll eventually get.
