Common Starling / sturnus vulgaris. Wells, Norfolk. 29/09/15.
The large groups of Starlings that assemble around the harbour do so because of the rich pickings to be had.
People have a habit of off-loading scraps from their fish and chip takeaways onto the harbour wall. Nothing goes to waste and the starlings look good on their high cholesterol diet!
When not scavenging, the birds perch up on the rigging of boats and in particular one old, rather spectacular sailing ship. It is always worth devoting some time to image making when in Wells.
Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa, subspecies pekinensis and chinensis) can refer to two cultivar groups of Chinese leaf vegetables often used in Chinese cuisine: the Pekinensis Group (napa cabbage) and the Chinensis Group (bok choy).
The Chinese cabbage has incredibly low calorie, sodium and saturated fat content which are often recommended by some of the dieticians. The Chinese cabbage is a good source of soluble and soluble fibers which have compounds known to reduce bad cholesterol level in the blood, protect against breast and prostate cancer. It contains various antioxidant compounds too. They are also a good source of vitamin A, potassium and of folic acid. This variety of cabbage has anti-inflammatory properties.
Bok Choy, the Chinensis group of Chinese cabbage, contains a compound called Glucosinolates which prevents cancer if taken in small dose however becomes toxic if taken excessively.

There is a wonderful transformation happening at the moment through the woods as the floor has been carpeted with the delightful white of the wild garlic, it's just a pity you don't have smelly vision with that strong pungent garlicky aroma filling the air. Wild garlic or Ramsons are widely known to have plenty of health benefits and used to be eaten far more than it is nowadays. All parts of the plant can be used and it's said to help to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol, as well as easing stomach pain and as a digestive tonic.

Taken for Our Daily Challenge: health
Apples have a good claim to promote health. They contain Vitamin C, which aids the immune system, and phenols, which reduce cholesterol. They also reduce tooth decay by cleaning one's teeth and killing off bacteria. I am not sure if by eating an apple a day will really keep the doctor away but eating apples is a good way to living a healthy lifestyle. Now, if only I could get myself to really love eating apples...
As promised, here's the MOC I teased a few days ago. Like I said, it's nothing big, but I like it, and I hope you do too!
On a related note, I may or may not be starting a post-apocalyptic survivor story, depending on how well this is received.
Also, the name is totally stolen from an old episode of Star Trek XD
Il peperoncino (Capsicum annum) è una specie appartenente alla famiglia delle Solanaceae.
La capsaicina è dotata di proprietà antidolorifiche. Inoltre studi scientifici suggeriscono che possa trattarsi anche di un principio attivo dall’azione antibatterica, antitumorale, analgesica e antidiabetica, e che in caso di obesità possa aiutare a ridurre il colesterolo “cattivo”.
Il consumo di peperoncino è sconsigliato a chi soffre di reflusso gastroesofageo.

RED HOT CHILI PEPPER IN THE SUN. NOT FOR ME
Chili pepper (Capsicum annum) is a species belonging to the Solanaceae family.
Capsaicin has pain-relieving properties. Furthermore, scientific studies suggest that it may also be an active ingredient with antibacterial, anticancer, analgesic and antidiabetic action, and that in the case of obesity it can help reduce "bad" cholesterol.
The consumption of chilli is not recommended for those suffering from gastroesophageal reflux.

Now maybe I won't have a heart attack.
We got out for a little while this morning to buy a couple of necessary items at Bunnings (hardware for non-Aussies) which also allowed me to indulge my lifetime passion and take a few shots of some trains at two of Brisbane’s quietest stations.
While I was waiting for one train on a pedestrian over bridge, I was suddenly joined by this local gentleman with a packet of kangaroo mince which apparently he regularly feeds the Pied Butcherbirds and Magpies. By the numbers arriving all of a sudden, he is well known and quite popular.
He told me that he only feeds them kangaroo, especially the Magpies because the ordinary beef mince is too high in cholesterol and it makes them sick. Or worse. Well, I do know kangaroo is very lean but maybe our bird experts can comment on the veracity of the cholesterol threat...for Magpies that is. We know of course it is not good when high for humans.

Canola field,
Westwold, B.C.
Since the last time I posted a photo of canola I have done a bit of reading on it. Canola is of the same family as mustard and rapeseed but it is not a scientific name (ie. species or genus) but is a name used only in commerce. Canola was specifically developed to be a healthy cooking oil, low in saturated fats like rapeseed but without the high levels of acid it has.
Canola was developed in Canada without genetic modifications, just using normal plant breeding techniques. I have read two different explanations of the name: 1) Canada Oil Seed, Low-Acid (which was its experimental name) or 2) Canada + oleum (which is Latin for oil). Canola is a very healthy cooking oil. It is lowest in saturated fat, high in cholesterol-lowering mono-unsaturated fat and the best source of omega-3 fats of all popular oils.

The April selection for my Page 233 Cookbook Project was Crêpes Ensenada. They are different from any Crêpes I've ever seen because they use tortillas. To me, this recipe was more like baked Quesadillas with cheese sauce slathered all over them. When they were ready, I paired them with Avocado to balance the good cholesterol with the bad. They were good. Very cheesey, but good.
The cookbook is "California Sizzles" by the Junior League of Pasadena. The first printing was in 1992, I must have bought this in 1993 as it is dated then. I've used it a lot. There are some unique and very good recipes in this book.
We have had one of the most gloomy first few months of the year that I can ever remember. I knew for April, I simply wanted brighter colors, so I picked this cook book.
Here's to brighter days!!!

I still have no new lens. Don't let this fool you. I used my film SLR zoom lens to take this, fixed it in photoshop and added some "bokeh" to it! LOL Hey, whatever works, right? Today we went to the Zoo. They were having a big community festival for Earth Day. It was so much fun, it was free to go in to see the animals and there were lots of fun and interesting booths, and performances. I got my sugar and cholesterol checked! My sugar is at 84! Wooot! Yeah, I don't eat much sweets, thank goodness. =) I have more of a tooth for sour things. HAHA!
There was a butterfly release held there too. We missed it by 10 minutes! I was so bummed but the butterflies were fluttering and chilling on the flowers everywhere. Even on people! HAHA I got to hold one in my hand and so did Sofia. THAT was my favorite part. More pics to come. In the meantime, I leave you with this.
Happy Saturday y'all!

Current Medicinal Uses
Germany’s Commission E approved the internal use of plantain herb for inflammation of the oral and pharyngeal mucosa; externally, it is used for skin inflammations (Blumenthal 2000).
Psyllium seed, especially the seed husks, are rich in mucilage polysaccharides. Although P. lanceolata is not used commercially for this purpose, the seeds and husks of other species of plantain, especially P. psyllium, P. indica, and P. ispaghula are used as bulk-forming laxatives and to lower cholesterol levels (Fugh-Berman 2003)
Plantain is a perennial weed with almost worldwide distribution. There are about 250 species. P. lanceolata and P. major are among the most widely distributed, and they grow aggressively. Plantain is wind-pollinated, facilitating its growth where there are no bees and few other plantain plants. P. major produces 13,000 to 15,000 seeds per plant, and the seeds have been reported to remain viable in soil for up to 60 years. P. lanceolata produces 2,500 to 10,000 seeds per plant and has a somewhat shorter seed viability. Plantain seeds can survive passage through the gut of birds and other animals, facilitating their distribution. Plantain, or psyllium seeds, are small (1.5 to 3.5 mm), oval, boat-shaped, dark reddish-brown, odorless, and nearly tasteless. They are coated with mucilage, which aids in their transportation by allowing adhesion to various surfaces.
So this shot was taken off the roof top level of a shopping centre carpark, it was quite windy and cool.
After 15 minutes or so a security guard asked me to stop photographing as he'd had a complaint, which was annoying as I was just starting to get the picture I wanted, so a bit disapointed but day 39 is another day.
Firstly
Shop is still open !!! <3
Secondly
There were plans to rebuild the shop together with Poet's Heart so we could expand in the future. How ever I've been down with a bad cold so I never finished mine, you'll see a TP at the new Landing point till my old shop.
Thirdly
Plans for a 1 year birthday will be postponed from the 1st of April until I'm back home, but I promise there will be a celebration :D

I have an opportunity in RL to take care of my health and weight (I'm morbidly obese with an eating disorder, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol). It's a concept particular known to Denmark but it has spread, it's called "Højskole", for those completely unfamiliar with this it can best be described as some kind of combination between a resort, summer camp and boarding school. In my case I've chosen a school that focuses on health and wellbeing, but they can have all sorts of themes.
The red deer is Britain's largest land mammal. They are most numerous in Scotland, but isolated populations occur from the Lake District to Cornwall, with a few small herds in Wales. Venison from red deer in Forestry Commission woods is very popular with consumers in Britain. Venison from red deer has less cholesterol and fat than other red meat, and deer living in the woods do not have any artificial feeding.
Rice farming is the cultivation of the rice plant for human consumption ...
While rice farming is mostly only possible in certain countries or regions, rice can practically be grown anywhere if a highly efficient water-control mechanism is in place.
Facts And Benefits Of Rice Farming
Rice is the world’s most popular source of food.
Rice is a complex carbohydrate that does not have sodium or cholesterol and barely any fat.
I do enjoy a lovely fresh pear as they are full of vitamins and free for fat and cholesterol.

Platycodon grandiflorus is a species of herbaceous flowering perennial plant of the family Campanulaceae, and the only member of the genus Platycodon. It is native to East Asia (China, Korea, Japan, and the Russian Far East). It is commonly known as balloon flower (referring to the balloon-shaped flower buds), Chinese bellflower, or platycodon. Growing to 60 cm (24 in) tall by 30 cm (12 in) wide, it is an herbaceous perennial with dark green leaves and blue flowers in late summer. A notable feature of the plant is the flower bud, which swells like a balloon before fully opening. The five petals are fused together into a bell shape at the base, like its relatives, the campanulas. This plant is hardy down to −15 °C (5 °F), and can therefore be cultivated in all temperate zones. It dies down completely in winter, reappearing in late spring and flowering in summer. However, plants are widely available from nurseries in full flower from April onwards. Though the species has blue flowers, there are varieties with white, pink, and purple blooms. In Korea, white flowers are more common. This plant, together with its cultivars 'Apoyama group' and 'Mariesii', have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. In Korea, the plant as well as its root are referred to as doraji . The root, fresh or dried, is one of the most common namul vegetables. It is also one of the most frequent ingredients in bibimbap. Sometimes, rice is cooked with balloon flower root to make doraji-bap. Preparation of the root always involves soaking and washing (usually rubbing it with coarse sea salt and rinsing it multiple times), which gets rid of the bitter taste. The root is also used to make desserts, such as doraji-jeonggwa. Syrup made from the root, called doraji-cheong (balloon flower root honey), can be used to make doraji-cha (balloon flower root tea). The root can be used to infuse liquor called doraji-sul, typically using distilled soju or other unflavored hard alcohol that has an ABV higher than 30% as a base. The extracts and purified platycoside compounds (saponins) from the roots of Platycodon grandiflorum may exhibit neuroprotective, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-allergy, improved insulin resistance, and cholesterol-lowering properties. Evidence for these potential effects was mainly observed in vitro, with the exception of cholesterol lowering effects documented in vitro and in rats. The lack of efficacy and limited safety data in humans, however, necessitate further research.

My cholesterol went up just looking at that mountain of fries.
One thing the Pima County fair in Tucson is certainly known for is coming up with some pretty outrageous food items. A grilled turkey leg wrapped in bacon, deep fried candy bars, and this monstrosity, Megafries. Pretty much an entire fryer basket stuffed with fries (chips), cooked up crispy and dumped on a plate.
We didn't stick around to watch this fellow devour this mountain of curled potatoes, my heart couldn't take it.
It looks like he was documenting his gastronomic undertaking, maybe to impress his Facebook friends back at the Boca Del Vista Retirement Community and RV Park?
Although considered a vegetable, mushrooms are neither a plant nor animal food. They are a type of fungus that contains a substance called ergosterol, similar in structure to cholesterol in animals. Ergosterol can be transformed into vitamin D with exposure to ultraviolet light. -- Courtesy Harvard University School of Public Health

Bergamot is a plant that produces a type of citrus fruit. Oil from the peel of the fruit, and extract from the fruit juice, are used to make medicine.
Bergamot is used for high levels of cholesterol or other fats (lipids) in the blood (hyperlipidemia). It is also used for other conditions, often as aromatherapy, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these other uses.
In foods, bergamot oil is widely used as a citrus flavoring agent, especially in gelatins and puddings.
In manufacturing, bergamot oil is used in perfumes, creams, lotions, soaps, and suntan oils.

My lab results came in, along with a nice note from my doctor giving me the “All clear” to head into my mountain climb next month. Sugars, cholesterol, blood pressure, and oxygen levels were all stellar- which is a huge sigh of relief after intermittent bouts with vertigo and migraines this year.
The irony is the old I get, the healthier I feel- I’ll take it!

No its not his name - Arcus senilis is a gray or white arc visible above and below the outer part of the cornea — the clear, domelike covering over the front of the eye. Eventually, the arc may become a complete ring around the colored portion (iris) of your eye.
Arcus senilis is common in older adults. It's caused by fat (lipid) deposits deep in the edge of the cornea. Arcus senilis doesn't affect vision, nor does it require treatment.
When arcus senilis occurs in older adults, it isn't related to high cholesterol. However, an arc or ring around the iris sometimes occurs in younger people who have severe cases of high cholesterol and high triglycerides passed down through families (familial hyperlipidemia). In people with familial hyperlipidemia, this arc or ring typically occurs before age 45 and is associated with an increased risk of heart disease.
