8 TIPS FOR HEALTHY EATING



Nowadays there are many ready-to-eat foods, indeed ready-to-eat foods really help us in a hurry. However, if consumed too often it is certainly not very healthy for our body. For that I will give tips for eating healthy foods as follows.

1. Base your food on high-fiber carbohydrates.
Starch carbohydrates must make more than one third of the food you eat. They include potatoes, bread, rice, pasta and cereal. Choose higher fiber or wheat varieties, such as whole wheat pasta, brown rice or potatoes with the skin. They contain more fiber than white or fine starch carbohydrates and can help you feel full longer. Try to include at least 1 starchy meal in each main meal. Some people think starchy foods are fattening, but grams for the gram of carbohydrate they contain provide less than half the fat calories. Keep an eye on the fat you add when you cook or serve this type of food because that's what increases the calorie content - for example, oil on chips, butter on bread and cream sauce on pasta.

2. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables
It is recommended that you eat at least 5 servings of variations of fruit and vegetables every day. They can be fresh, frozen, canned, dried or juiced. A glass of 150 ml of fruit juice, vegetable juice or smoothie is also counted as one serving, but limit the amount you have to not more than 1 glass a day because this drink is sweet and can damage your teeth.

3. Eat more fish, including one serving of oily fish
Fish is a good source of protein and contains lots of vitamins and minerals. Try to eat at least 2 servings of fish a week, including at least 1 portion of oily fish.

4. Reduce saturated fat and sugar
Saturated fat
You need fat in your diet, but it's important to pay attention to the amount and type of fat you eat. There are 2 main types of fat: saturated and unsaturated. Too much saturated fat can increase the amount of cholesterol in the blood, which increases the risk of heart disease. For healthier choices, use a little vegetable oil or olive oil, or spread fat without fat as a substitute for butter, lard, or ghee. When you eat meat, choose the nonfat slices and cut the visible fat. All types of fat are high in energy, so they can only be eaten in small quantities.
Sugar
Eating high-sugar foods and drinks regularly increases the risk of obesity and tooth decay. Sweets and drinks are often high-energy (measured in kilojoules or calories), and if consumed too often can contribute to weight gain. They can also cause tooth decay, especially if eaten between meals.

5. Eat less salt: no more than 6g a day for adults
Eating too much salt can increase your blood pressure. People with high blood pressure are more likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke.

6. be active and be healthy
In addition to eating healthy, regular exercise can help reduce your risk of getting a serious health condition. This is also important for your overall health and well-being.

7. Don't thirst
You need to drink plenty of fluids to stop you from becoming dehydrated. The government recommends drinking 6 to 8 glasses every day. This is the extra fluid you get from the food you eat. All non-alcoholic drinks are counted, but water, low-fat milk, and low-sugar drinks, including tea and coffee, are healthier choices. Try to avoid sodas and sugars, because they are high in calories. They are also bad for your teeth. Fruit juices and unsweetened smoothies are high in sugar free. The total combination of your drinks from fruit juices, vegetable juices and smoothies should not be more than 150ml a day, which is a small glass. Remember to drink more fluids during hot weather or when exercising.

8. Don't skip breakfast
Some people skip breakfast because they think it will help them lose weight. But a healthy breakfast that is rich in fiber and low in fat, sugar and salt can form part of a balanced diet, and can help you get the nutrients you need for good health. Low-sugar cereals of whole wheat with semi-skim milk and fruit sliced ​​on top are delicious and healthy breakfasts.

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY JAM



Strawberry jam is the favorite jam of every bread. Many of us feel that it doesn't match the jam sold in the market because it's too sweet. So I will give a guide on how to make your favorite strawberry jam at home.

The first step:
CUT STRAWBERRIES.
Don't wash the strawberries so that they don't drag a lot of water, just wipe them off with a clean, damp cloth. To peel the fruit, use a knife to cut the cone shape into the strawberry and remove the stem. Cut the large berries in half.

Second step:
POUR SUGAR INTO A BOWL OF STRAWBERRIES
Put the strawberries in a bowl and gently add the sugar. Leave it open in the room temprature for 12 hours or overnight. This process helps the sugar dissolve, making sure the fruit does not break too much and helps maintain a bright color.


Third step:
POUR WATER INTO A STRAWBERRY BOWL
Add the strawberry mixture to the pan with lemon juice. Arrange with low heat and cook very gently. If there is sugar left on the side of the pan, dip the pastry brush into hot water and remove the sugar.

Fourth step:
BOIL STRAWBERRIES IN A LARGE POT
When you can no longer feel the remaining sugar granules, turn on the fire to start bubbling jam and boiling it. (Sugar must be completely dissolved before adding heat, otherwise it will be difficult to regulate it, and may contain crystallized lumps of sugar.)


Fifth step:
Boil hard for 5-10 minutes until the jam reaches 105C on a digital thermometer or preservative, then turn off the heat. If you don't have a thermometer, spoon a little jam into one of the cold dishes. Leave for 30 seconds, then push with your finger; if it's jammed and not flooded to fill the gap, it's ready. If not, turn it on again and simmer for another 2 minutes, then turn off the heat and do another wrinkle test. Repeat until ready.

Sixth step:
PEELING BUBBLES FROM STRAWBERRY JAM
Use a spoon to cut all the foam that has risen to the surface and throw it away. Do this only once at the end, rather than continuously during the boiling stage, to reduce waste.


Seventh step:
ADD BUTTER TO THE STRAWBERRY JAM MIXTURE
Add one butter button, if you want, to the finished jam, and stir until it's dissolved. This will help dissolve the residual waste that you have not managed to set aside. Let the jam settle for 15 minutes - this will ensure that the fruit remains suspended in the mixture and does not float on the jam tube. Meanwhile, sterilize your jar.


Eighth step:
SPOON STRAWBERRY JAM INTO A JAR
Put it in a warm jar, fill it just below the edge. Place waxy paper discs on top of jam (this prevents mold formation), then cover with a lid or plastic circle and rubber band. Pop on labels (including dates), plus pretty fabric tops, if you like. Congestion can be stored for up to 1 year in a cool, dry place. Cool after opening.

Enjoy your jam J

HOW TO MAKE CHEESE





Have you ever thought of making cheese at home? If so, you are right to read this blog. Here I will explain how to make cheese at home.

Step 1: Start with fresh and warm milk
The better and fresher the milk you use, the more delicious your cheese will be. I like buying my milk the same day I make it into cheese.

Step 2: Boil the milk
There are many ways to make cheese but the first 'split in the road' is how you acidify milk. One way is to remove acid (vinegar or citric acid) directly into the milk to get the correct acidity. This process (called direct acidification) causes cheese like ricotta and mascarpone. Another way to acidify milk is to add culture, or live bacteria. Given the time, warmth and lack of competing bacteria, this culture will eat lactose in milk, turning it into lactic acid.

Step 3: Add Coagulants
The most common coagulant is rennet, the name for an enzyme that causes proteins in milk to be interconnected. However, the word 'rennet' is rather blurred. Rennet can mean 'traditional rennet' originating from the stomach of an animal. This can mean rennet 'bacteria', sometimes also subtly called 'vegetable rennet', which is derived from recombinant bacteria (using DNA from cells in the stomach of young cattle). Or rennet can come from mushrooms ('microbial' rennet). Using the more general and accurate term 'coagulant', we can add a coagulant 'plant' which can be a sap from a fig tree or milk thistle.
Mix the coagulant into the liquid milk and wait for the gel to form.

Step 4: Gel Strength Test
When you have given enough time to work on the protein in milk, the milk will change from liquid to gel. You can test the 'maturity' of the gel by pressing (with clean hands) onto the surface of the milk.

Step 5: Cut the curds
The next step is to cut the curd from the giant lump into smaller cubes or chunks. You can do this with 'cheese harp', with a knife or even with a shaker. The size you cut the curd will dramatically affect the amount of moisture stored in your final cheese; the smaller the initial cut, the cheese will be drier (and older). And vice versa.

Step 6: Stir, Cook & Wash curds
For a few minutes or even the next hour (depending on the recipe), you will stir the curds in the barrel. Maybe, you will light a fire and cook the curds when you stir. During this phase, the most important thing that happens is that the acid continues to develop inside the curd and, from your stirring motion, the curd dries. The more you cook and the more you stir, the drier your cheese dries.
Washing is the process of removing part of the whey from the barrel and replacing it with water. This produces cheese and cheese paste that is softer, sweeter, and more elastic.

Step 7: Drain the curds
Finally, it's time to separate the curds from whey. You might take this almost final step by simply throwing the contents of the pan into the filter at the sink. You may wait 10 minutes to let the curd settle down then press the curd together at the bottom of the pot before bringing it up and out of the pot in the slice. In general, we work fast at this point in the process because we want to save heat into the curd, encouraging them to reunite to form fine smooth wheels. If we wait too long, the curds become cold and the cheese falls apart.

Step 8: Salt and Cheese Age
After the curd is separated from whey, you can add salt. Or, you can move the curd to the final shape (or basket) and press the cheese into the wheel before salting. If the cheese is marinated, properly acidified and has the right water content in it, cheese can be something more complex. Or it can be eaten immediately - the same time it is made.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR HAIR HEALTHY




Having beautiful, healthy, shiny, soft and thick hair is a dream for every woman, but there are still many of us who are reluctant to take care of our hair properly. Next I will give some tips to make your hair healthy.

1. Washing and Dry

You have to know when to wash your hair. If some people think that washing your hair every day will make your hair clean and healthy it is a big mistake. Washing your hair every day will make chemicals accumulate in the skin of your head, wash your hair at least 3 times a week or if your hair is oily easily, use dry shampoo. After washing your hair do not forget to dry it.

2. Using Product

Use hair care products such as hair masks, serums, heat protectors and sun protectors for suitable hair. These products will protect your hair while in the sun or when you want to arrange your hair with a hair heater. Avoid shampoo, conditioner and other hair care products that contain hard sulfate, parabens or sodium chlorine. These ingredients will accumulate in the hair over time, causing damage and overloading your keys.

3. Eating Right

In addition to treating hair from the outside, it is important to treat hair from the inside through the food we eat. Eat foods that contain lots of vitamins and omega 3 like salmon which are good for maintaining hair strength. In addition to the type of salmon beans, tubers and vegetables also contain many vitamins that are good for nourishing the hair. It's a good idea to take supplements for hair so that your hair is well maintained.

Cut the ends of the hair at least once every 3 months to get rid of dead and branched hair. Use a hat if you are active in a hot place, because UV light will make your hair dry and damaged. Sports are also very important for treating hair, because exercise will relax your body and avoid stress that can make your hair fall out. Avoid smoking, caffeine and soft drinks. Eliminate smoking, caffeine and soft drinks from your life - it will make your hair grow stronger and longer.







HOW TO WRITE THE BOOK




I will give tips for writing books easily:

Getting started
We all have to start somewhere. By writing a book, the first phase consists of four parts:
1. Decide what the book is
Writing good is always about something. Write the argument of your book in a sentence, then expand it to paragraphs, and then to a one-page outline. After that, write a table of contents to help guide you as you write, then divide each chapter into sections. Think about your book in terms of the beginning, middle, and end. Anything more complicated will get you lost.

2. Set goals for daily word counts
Make the standard how many words per day you want to write. This way you will have consistency in your writing.

3. Set the time to work on your book every day
Consistency makes creativity easier. You need a daily deadline to do your work - that's how you will finish writing a book. Don't hesitate to take a day off, if you want, but schedule it in advance. Don't let the deadline pass; don't let yourself escape. Setting a daily deadline and regular writing time will ensure that you don't have to think about when you will write. When it's time to write, it's time to write.

4. Write in the same place at any time
It doesn't matter whether it's a table or restaurant or kitchen table. It just needs to be different from where you do other activities. Make your writing location a special space, so when you enter it, you are ready to work. It must remind you of your commitment to completing this book. Again, the purpose here is not to think and start writing.

Doing work
Now, it's time to go down to business. Here, we will focus on the following three tips to help you complete the book:

5. Set the total number of words
Start with the end in mind. After you start writing, you need the total number of words for your book. Think about adding 10 thousand jobs and separating each chapter in approximately the same length. Following are some general guiding principles:

7. Get initial feedback
There is nothing worse than writing a book and then having to rewrite, because you don't let anyone see it. Ask some trusted advisers to help you find out what is worth writing. This can be friends, editors, family. Try to find someone who will give you honest feedback from the start to make sure you are going in the right direction.

Finishing
How do you know when you are done? Short answer: You don't. Not really. So, this is what you do to finish the process of writing this book well:

8. Commit to shipping
Whatever happens, finish the book. Set a deadline or ask for a set for you. Then release it to the world. Send to the publisher, release it on Amazon, do whatever you need to do to get it in front of people. Don't put it in your drawer. The worst thing for you is to stop once this is written. It will not make you do your best work and it will not allow you to share ideas with the world.

9. Embrace failure
As you approach the end of this project, know that this will be difficult and you will definitely be in a mess. It's fine to fail, and give yourself mercy. That is what will sustain you - the determination to continue, not the standard that is hard to understand.

10. Write another book
Most writers are embarrassed by their first book. Of course. But without that first book, you will never learn lessons that you might miss. So, put your work there, fail early, and try again. This is the only way you get better. You have to practice, which means you have to keep writing.

Every writer starts somewhere, and most of them start by squeezing their writing into the gap of their daily lives. That's how I started, and maybe that's where you start too. People who make it are people who emerge day after day. You can do the same thing.

HOW TO WRITE A BOOK REVIEW




Are you a fan of books? If so, other readers will always be interested in your opinions about the books you have read. Whether you like the book or not, if you give honest and detailed thoughts, people will find a new book that is right for them. If you are stuck on what needs to be said in a review, it can help imagine you talking to someone who asks you if they should read a book.

1. Start with a few sentences that explain the book.
But without giving spoilers or revealing a plot twist! As a general rule, try not to write in detail about whatever happens from the middle of the book onwards. If this book is part of a series, it will be useful to mention this, and whether you feel the need to read other books in the series to enjoy this book.

2. Discuss what you really like about the book.
Focus on your thoughts and feelings about the story and the way the story is told. You can try answering the following questions:
Who is your favorite character, and why?
Does the character feel real to you?
Does the story make you guess?
What is your favorite part of the book, and why?
Are certain types of scenes very well written - for example sad scenes, tense scenes, mysterious ones...?
Does the book make you laugh or cry?
Does the story grip you and make you turn the page?

3. State whatever you like about the book
Talk about why you think it doesn't work for you. As an example:
Do you expect the ending to not be a cliffhanger because you feel frustrated?
Do you find it difficult to care about the main character, and can you find out the reason?
Is the story too scary for you to like, or does it focus on a theme that you think is not interesting?

4. End your review
Summarize some of your thoughts about the book by suggesting the type of reader that you would recommend for the book. For example: younger readers, older readers, fans of relationship drama / mystery stories / comedy. Are there books or series that you will compare?

5. You can give a book ranking, for example a value of five or ten, if you want!
In this way someone will be more curious about the book you read if you give a good rating and vice versa.

HOW TO WRITING A MOVIE REVIEW

1. Watch the film.
Once needed is twice as preferred. Taking notes is also a good idea and will help the writing process by making it easy to refer to your thoughts and reactions at that time.

2. Share your opinions and support your criticism.
Professional reviewers don't hesitate to tell their readers whether the film is good or not, and in fact readers rely on reviewers whose tastes reflect when deciding to spend time and money or not. Professional reviewers have also watched many films and can express why and how they came to their criticism. Be sure to support your mind specifically - disappointing performance, silly plot, beautiful cinematography, difficult material that makes you think, and so on.

3. Consider your audience.
Are you writing for fan sites, national news outlets, or Teen Magazines? Knowing who your readers can help you decide what elements of the film will be highlighted. You also have to adjust your writing style to fit the publication.

4. Actors.
Many casual movie viewers will be inspired to see a movie if there are favorite actors in it, so you might have to spend a little space talking about shows: experienced actors in new types of roles, brilliant performance of rising stars, excellence despite vibrant scripts, deep dynamics ensemble, and much more can be said about actors in any film.

5. Director, cinematographer, special effects.
This is where your geek movie really can shine. Tell your readers about important things or mistakes made by directors, cinematographers, costume designers, and CGI wizards. What works, what's surprising, what's not as expected, are all great questions to discuss in your review body.

6. There are no spoilers!
Give your readers some ideas about the plot, but be careful not to include spoilers. Remember, the point is a good review is to get people interested in watching movies. Don't get too excited and ruin it for them!

7. Learn professionals.
Like all writing efforts, the more you read, the better you are. And when you read a movie review that you like (or don't like), think about why. Use your critical eyes to think about why one reviewer has one hundred thousand followers and two others. Also make sure to read the publications where you want your writing to appear as a template for your own review, and don't forget to read the shipping guidelines!

8. Reread, rewrite, and edit.
Edit your work; your opinion will not be taken seriously if you misspelled the director's name or cannot arrange sentences that are grammatically correct. Take the time to check your spelling and edit your work for the organization flow.

9. Find your voice.
The best reviewers have different personalities that appear in their writing. This doesn't happen overnight, so use every opportunity to write as an opportunity to develop your own style and voice that will grab the reader's attention and make them come back again.

1.      RECORD YOUR EXPENSES 
The first step to start saving is to record your needs. Record all your expenses in one week or one month. This includes mandatory fees such as food or other personal needs.

2.      MAKE A BUDGET
Once you have a record of what you spend in a month, you can start managing your recorded expenses into a workable budget. Your budget must explain how your expenses are in line with your income, so you can plan expenses and limit excessive spending. Apart from your monthly expenses, be sure to take into account expenses that occur regularly but not every month, such as car / motorcycle maintenance or sudden needs.

Try to reduce unnecessary expenses such as holidays or eating in expensive places. Tips consider the money you put into routine expenses, similar to shopping, to strengthen good saving habits.

One of the best ways to save money is to set goals. Start by thinking about what you might want to achieve with your savings. Maybe you will get married, plan a vacation, or save for retirement. Then find out how much money you need and how long you might have to save it.

5.      DECIDE ON YOUR PRIORITY
Learn how to prioritize your savings goals so that you have a clear idea of ​​where to start saving. For example, if you know you will need to replace your car in the near future, you can start setting aside money for cars now.

6.      PICK THE RIGHT TOOLS
If you save for the long term or in large quantities, use the bank of your choice. You don't have to choose only one bank. Look carefully at all your options and consider things like minimum balance, fees, and interest rates so you can choose a mix that will help you save the best for your goals.

7.      MAKE SAVING AUTOMATIC
Almost all banks offer automatic transfers between your checking account and your savings. You can choose when, how much and where to transfer money or even share your direct deposit so that part of each salary goes directly to your savings account. Sharing direct deposits and setting up automatic transfers is a simple way to save money because you don't need to think about it, and that usually reduces the temptation to spend money instead.


8.      WATCH YOUR SAVING GROW
Review your budget and check your progress every month. This will not only help you stick to your personal savings plan, but also help you identify and correct problems quickly. These simple ways to save can even inspire you to save more every day and reach your goals faster.
