Read More →Some people say chicken skin is healthy to eat and some disagree Dr Hector Perera London In health point of view one must remove the outer skin because it contains oil that has cholesterol which is not healthy to eat all the time. Cholesterol is supposed to block the arteries and why do we eat that purposely? There are two types of cholesterol, bad and good ones. Cholesterol is a substance found in the blood. It is made in the liver and is needed for healthy cell membranes. However, too much cholesterol in the blood increases the risk of heart disease, and of diseased arteries. Good and bad cholesterol The bloodstream transports cholesterol around the body attached to proteins. The combination of cholesterol and protein is called lipoprotein, and there are two types.

Read More →Alcoholic Drinks When Having Diabetes by Dr. Harold Gunatillake – Health writer Yes, true, people having raised blood sugar need to be careful drinking alcohol. They still can enjoy a drink or two without guilt, but intelligent drinking is the solution.

Written by harold Gunatillake-Health writer “My concern is that when I visit Sri Lanka annually to avoid winter in Australia, my wife is obliged to purchase reluctantly processed food ingredients from the local super-market. Foods from eateries and restaurants are also cooked mainly from processed grains. Incidentally, whole grain foods like brown and red rice, gain less weight than those who fill up on refined grains like white rice. Though added sugars are considered ‘unhealthy’ world-wide, Sri Lankans add at least 4 teaspoons of sugar in their cup of tea or coffee. People indulge in sweetmeat most pleasurably, and obesity among the old, young, school children, and among saree clad ladies seems to be more visible”. ...
