When thinking about the taste of your food, also consider the advantages and disadvantages to your health.

There's this distinctive good taste that fried foods have but what about health??

Fried foods occasionally may not be a big health problem but fried foods regularly can cause big health issues.

Consuming fried foods regularly can raise your LDL cholesterol- the bad cholesterol. It can also raise your triglyceride level.

High levels of these fats in the blood can lead to a situation known as atherosclerosis which could cause stiffness and narrowing of arteries- causing heart diseases.

Fried foods occasionally- OK. Regularly-No, because of your heart health and health in general.

Better cooking methods include:
- Steaming
- Roasting
- Baking
- Boiling
- Sautéing
- Air frying

Live healthier, live better.

This two blood sugar readings are different numbers but same blood sugar level in the blood.

Some glucose machines are calibrated in mmol/L while some are in mg/dL.

You just need to master the type of glucose machine you're using and know what the numbers mean as relates to your blood sugar and diabetes management.

In case you're using one in (mg/dL) and for any reason have to use a different one in (mmol/L)-- all you need to do is to multiply by 18 or divide by 18, to convert one to another.
Example, 18 × 8.5 mmol/L = 153mg/dl.
153mg/dL ÷ 18 = 8.5mmol/L

You can convert any number you have to give you the equivalent of the other unit.

However, it's better to get used to a particular type and stick with it.

Live healthier, live better.
