Not all fish are safe to eat

If you love fish, that is good news as according to nutritionist, Joy Bauer, fish is low in fat, and high in protein. Unfortunately, some types of fish are also loaded with mercury and other contaminants, like PCBs, dioxins, and pesticides. Ms Bauer provides a summary of the specific fish you should try to avoid...and the fabulous fish you can regularly enjoy.

FISH TO AVOID (mercury, pcbs, dioxins, pesticides)

Ms Joy said the main reason mercury is bad is it negatively affects the brain and nervous system. It's worse for foetuses and young children, though, because their brains are still developing and absorbing nutrients very rapidly. In addition, mercury poisoning can adversely affect vision, kidney function, fertility, and blood pressure regulation in people of all ages.

High mercury fish to avoid:

Swordfish
Shark
Tilefish
King Mackerel (little mackerel is FINE)

*Tuna's also not great, so limit your consumption of tuna steaks... and when it comes to canned tuna, you're better off with the chunk "light" versus "albacore or white". That's because chunk light has significantly less mercury.

When it comes to PCBs and pesticides, you want to avoid bluefish, wild striped bass, and American eel. When it comes to "dioxins" you want to limit your intake of farm-raised Atlantic salmon (which can also be high in PCBs and pesticides).


SAFE FISH TO ENJOY!

Here's the good news.... some of the very, very safest and best fish to eat are:

*Anchovies
*Herring
*Atlantic mackerel
*Wild salmon
*Sardines
Crab
Halibut
Scallops
Shrimp
Tilapia

*also contain omega-3 fats, AND they're not over-fished.

For more information, visit "Oceans Alive" -- it's a great website that provides a wonderful seafood pocket guide you can print out for free, and take with you to the supermarket (or restaurant). You'll also find useful information on MANY more fish varieties.

Eat Right for Health

Not only the food we eat that contributes to our health, the way we prepare the food is just as important. According to a recent survey conducted locally, the Chinese people are less concerned with the type of food they consume. Too much fatty foods are consumed. That's why my friend asked me to go along to help her pick out some cookware specially made for steaming. Food that is steamed is more nutritious than other ways of preparation. Health is wealth, so we need to consciously eat healthily.

Have a Pleasant Shopping Experience at Designergifts.com


Online shopping saves time especially when one is able to buy everything under one roof, i.e., in the same store. Designergifts.com is one such store where you can get all kinds of gifts.

The best part is, you don't have to waste time browsing through the entire list looking for the particular gift that you have an allocated budget for. Instead, you can straightaway go to the category "Shop by Price". Here, you will be able to browse through gifts categorised by price ranging from cheap gifts that are under $5 right up to gifts that are more than $100. This sure saves you time and provide for a more pleasant shopping experience.

Generally, I like gifts that are practical such as digital picture frames, kitchen stuff, dinnerware, bracelets, watches and the like. On the other hand, decorative stuff is not my cup of tea but to each his own, of course. I would like to see more kitchen stuff though as well as bed-linen. These are useful gifts.

Check out the store. The nice, pleasant color scheme is very pleasing to the eyes. Don't forget to check out their helpful Gift Giving Advice - very useful. Sometimes it's difficult to decide on a gift, especially gifts for men. Designergifts.com has some very good gift ideas for men. And oh, by the way, you simply have to get their pretty greeting cards. I love them!

This is a great store and all, however, two things I'd like to point out for improvement. One is the menu for Gift Baskets, Picture Frames and Personalized Gifts. Each of these menus opens too high up resulting in the top portion being cut off thus the items cannot be seen. Secondly, a few typos were spotted.

All things considered, Designergifts is still a store I would shop at. Make it yours too.

Need help with your business?

More and more people are venturing into business rather than working for someone. A friend recently started her own business being a stockist of a food supplement outfit. Are you one of these entrepreneurs? Do you need help either financially or assistance with your company?

I recently came across this company, Venture Alliance partners A/S (Venpar), who has helped many entrepreneurs and investors build worldclass companies. Their clients have shown excellent results. Venpar's support extends not only financially but they also provide services on headhunting, corporate therapy and others. Check them out at www.venpar.com. You are only one click away from realising your dream.

Seiko Watches are great gifts

Some of my friends like to buy replica designer watches from Chinatown. Friends of mine who come from overseas bring them home as gifts. I must say at the price they are being paid for, they are actually a steal. As for me, I would rather have the original.

These days almost anything can be bought online. Amonlineshopping.com.au offers watches at a discount for as much as 70%! For that price, why buy retail?

They have a wide selection of brands such as Nixon Watches, Casio Watches including G-Shock and Baby-G, DKNY and Pierre Cardin Watches, Seiko Watches, Timex Watches and many more. All at irrestible prices.

If you are a sports person, one very useful item would be a heart rate monitor. Amonlineshopping offers this item at a real bargain price. Check it out.

Besides watches, they also have sunglasses. Or if you are not sure which item to choose as gifts, why not get gift vouchers? They are great as gifts.

Make your business be known - list it on Masterseek.com

Any business needs exposure to the masses to be able to do well. Word-of-mouth marketing is one good way but the chances of the company having wide exposure is limited. What better way to be known than for the company to be located online. This is the fastest way to cover a wider population. The Internet has made the world borderless, in a way. How would a company be known online then? A directory is a good bet but just to be listed on an ordinary directory might not be effective.

A global search engine like Masterseek would be ideal. Theirs is a directory that provides quick and free access to company profiles, contact information and descriptions of products and services. And right now, Masterseek lists more than 45 million companies in 75 countries. Get listed here. Wouldn't you say it's the place to find local as well as worldwide business partners, sales opportunities and new avenues to expand your business and increase your company's profitability?

Digital Photo Frames for Your Digital Photos

Technology has digitised many functions and gadgets simplifying life for us. One such, is picture-taking. Since digital cameras and camera phones have became a normal part of our lives, purchasing of films and processing them are no longer a concern, in turn reducing costs.

Previously, the only way we could view our digital photos is by printing them out and storing them in an album and possibly looking at them every few years. Otherwise, everyone would be crowding around the PC while we open the files.

These days, viewing digital photos has been made simpler with digital photo frames. The process is easy: Simply Take a photo or movie >> switch your memory card to the digital picture frame >> and view.

Now all your happy snaps will be constantly on display in all areas of your home, on the wall of your living room, at the entrance and on the side table in your bedroom on a fashionable, stylish digital photo frame. These frames come in various sizes to suit choices and convenience. At such a low price, they are really worth it.
