Useful Tips for sharing........

The kind of fat to avoid

Think before you add the margarine! Harvard researchers found that women who consume an average of 4g of trans fat a day had a heart attack risk that was three times higher than those who have 2.6g. Trans fat hurts the heart as it boosts bad LDL cholesterol.

Sweet Satisfaction

When you're haunted by a food craving, try sitting it out for 15 minutes. If you're still tormented after that, give in - deprivation only intensifies your craving. So if you want chocolate, have a little. And instead of a calorie-laden bar, try a Hershey's Kiss at only 25 calories.

For sharper scissors

Are your scissors beginning to lost its sharpness? The usual practice is to rub the cutting edge with sandpaper. But if you don't have sandpaper at home, you can just get aluminium foil. Stack three pieces of foil on top of the other and cut them a few times with the scissors. It will be ready to use for your next project
