How To Avoid Getting Scammed by Airbnb Hosts?

Recently Malaysians have been going travelling almost every weekend with their families after being stuck in their homes for the past two year. With number of cars on the road, there’s no doubt that hotels, homestays and Airbnbs around Malaysia are fully booked and earning again after so long. It is good to see their businesses booming again but the bad thing is that people are using this period to scam travelers who are looking for a place to stay.
  Recently, a family member of mine booked an Airbnb and even paid for it. Then, on the day they were heading to the location, they contacted the Airbnb host to get the address to the property, but the host was unreachable. Phone switched off, no reply on Whatsapp and even email. Thankfully Airbnb agreed to refund the money in full, but my family members were stranded in a different city with no place to stay for the night. When things like this happen, you realise that you’re properly not the only one in this kind of situation. There are probably others too who have been scammed by Airbnb hosts. So, here are some tips to avoid getting scammed by Airbnb hosts:1. Make sure on you’re on the right websiteIf your intention is to book an Airbnb then make sure you go directly to the Airbnb site or app. Avoid using any third party apps to book an Airbnb stay. This is their website: https://www.airbnb.com/Always double check the url and make sure that there isn’t any random alphabet or number in it that isn’t supposed to be there.
  2. If it’s too good to be true then maybe skip itSo, you’re looking for a property to rent for the weekend and find a beachside property with private pool, bathtubs, 6 rooms, projector for movies and even a jacuzzi for only RM 260 a night. Should you book it? I’d say skip it!
  How can someone list a property with that many facilities and in a good location for only RM 260? It is too good to be true. Sometimes, it is true la but it is always better to be safe rather than sorry.3. Read the reviewsIf you’ve found a listing that you think is perfect for you, always remember to read the reviews first before booking. The hosts can make the photos and property sound and look as pretty as possible but only someone who has actually visited the property and dealt with the owners will be able to give you a proper account of the reality of the situation. Go through the reviews, bad and good, and then make your choice.
  However, be careful of listing with only a few vague and short reviews. Some hosts use fake accounts to write fake reviews about their property. 4. Take time to read and understand Airbnb’s terms and policies on refunds and cancellationsBefore booking any stay, go through Airbnb’s terms for guests and if you have time, read a little about what is expected from the hosts and what rights your have as a customer. You can easily do that, by clicking on this link. This information might come in handy if you are cheated or scammed by your Airbnb host. Knowing your right and knowing what a host is supposed to provide will ensure that you can get what you’re supposed to get in the situation. 5. Properly check your hostBefore clicking on the reserve, visit your host’s Airbnb profile. If they are a superhost, then it is definitely a good sign. It means that they’ve maintained consistently high ratings at 4.8 or more out of 5, completed at least 10 stays in the past year, have a cancellation rate of less than 1 percent, and have a 90 percent response rate to new messages within 24 hours.
  Airbnb verifies users (both hosts and guests) through government IDs, email addresses, and phone numbers. Click on the hosts photo and it will take you to the host’s profile then, look at the left side of the profile to make sure that the host has uploaded these things.
  6. Do not make contact or payments outside the Airbnb siteAirbnb has a strict policy forbidding hosts from contacting customer and vice versa on any other app or platform besides Airbnb. Try not to share your private information like phone number, address and even email address to the host. You can do everything from asking questions to your hosts and paying for your stay through the Airbnb platform. So, if a host is asking you to pay the money directly to their bank account then that is a huge red flag. Also never pay in cash! There will be no proof of your payment! 7. After booking your stay, keep in contact with the hostTo be on the safe side, always contact your hosts through the app even after you’ve boked the property. Contact them again a few days before your stay and again the night before your stay to confirm that everything is in order, if they suddenly don’t reply at all, then you can immediately contact Airbnb and inform them about the situation so that action can be taken immediately.
  Also, on the day of your stay, contact your hosts and inform them when you’re leaving to go to the property, when you’ve reached and also after your stay when you’re checking out. Happy Travels! Stay safe and follow all the SOPs!

NO WAY: Hotel Hell As Guest Alleges Shower Gel Is Actually Semen Excretion

A highly rated hotel in China has been accused of putting semen excretion in its shower gel.One unlucky guest had apparently stumbled across the ordeal as he was showering, where he then noticed something was a bit “off” about the body wash. The local market regulator of Yuelu District of Changsha, Hunan is investigating an incident at a local hotel. A guest discovered an unknown white liquid with a fishy smell in the shower gel of his hotel room, which the guest suspected was semen contamination. pic.twitter.com/hXaDFPdQQL— Shanghai Daily (@shanghaidaily) June 28, 2023 Wanting to test his wild guess, he transferred the gel into a water bottle. Upon further inspection, he pointed that the liquid had a “cloudy texture” and even “fishy odour”- similar to that of a semen.He has since lodged a complaint towards the hotel in order to prove its legitimacy, although it’s believed that the case is still ongoing and operations resume as usual.

Need More Protein? These Foods Have More Protein Than Eggs!

Protein is one of the key nutrients our body needs to take daily. It is responsible for muscle growth and restoration. If you are looking to gain some muscles or just trying to prevent muscle loss with age, then you've got to find a way to include protein in your diet. For most, that means having eggs. But what if I told you there are some foods that are even more protein rich?
  ChickpeaIf you think protein only comes from meat, then you're wrong. There are plenty of plant-based protein and the king of them would be legumes. Chickpeas are one of the many protein rich legumes as it contains 19g of protein in every 100g of serving. In can be made into hummus or soup, or even added to your salads!
  LentilsAnother edible legume which contain 9g of protein per 100g of serving, lentils are a good alternative if you're not a huge fan of chickpeas. They are also faster to ripe and easier to cook as they do not need to be soaked beforehand.
  Pumpkin SeedsPumpkin seeds might look small, but they are packed with protein, with a 19g count per 100g of serving. In addition to that, it is also chock full of nutrients such as zinc, iron, magnesium, potassium, and selenium. Especially good for boys (wink).
  Cottage CheeseAlthough cottage cheese isn't the tastiest of the cheeses, with 11g of protein per 100g of serving, it can and should be matched with many other foods such as salads, bread, and biscuits.
  SeafoodWhether it is fish, shrimp, or shellfish, most seafoods average out to about 20g or protein per 100g of service. Their calorie and fats content is also considerably low compared to other means. That is why it is a main choice of healthy protein for meat eaters!
  So, if you're trying to up your daily protein intake but are sick of stuffing yourself with eggs and drinking "plastic-ky" protein shakes, then consider adding these foods to your diet!

Man Gets Slandered For Demanding McD & KFC To Have Menu Rahmah

So, as we all know, the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) just launched a new initiative to offer a B-40-friendly menu at numerous local eateries for just RM5.While some Malaysians were relieved that this programme would allow them to afford a well-balanced meal at a fair price, others were expecting more.pic.twitter.com/ybqe2Heuw8— what is this behavior? (@doqtahu) February 2, 2023 "Why didn't McDonald's and KFC offer a Rahmah Menu?" This man commented on a Facebook post. It simply goes to show how much the government is pressuring small local businesses run by Malay owners to join the initiative because they are fearful of associating with others [larger food chains].He further remarked that, given Starbucks' high prices, how come they didn't offer a Menu Rahmah as well? Don't limit this initiative to Malays only.Clearly, the individual does not understand the initiative's sole objective.Mcd & kfc dah ada lama menu rahmah..mcd super savers,kfc ada loaded potato bowl— En. Cekodok (@amirulkhusyairy) February 2, 2023 Thankfully, not everyone thinks like him and started raging over his controversial comment, claiming both McD and KFC had launched a similar campaign named McD Super Savers and KFC had its Loaded Potato Bowl dish for a long time now.Ni orang jenis yang makan nak have have tapi nak harga murah , karang terlebih jadi rm7 pun dh pekik kata mahai — . (@httpayeee) February 2, 2023 Another person commented that this is the type of person that wants to eat everything for the cheapest price possible, but if they are charged RM7 for a meal, they whine about how expensive it is.Sometimes we just need to be grateful that we have such initiatives to help us.


Netizen Warns Against New Parcel Delivery Scam Tactic

A lady recalled her experience of being targeted by two suspicious parcel delivery men, which she suspected to be scammers. Her first encounter was on the 2nd of March when she received a call from a guy claiming to be delivery personnel, asking for her house address. The delivery man explained that he was nearby but wasn't sure about the exact location. The lady found it suspicious and did not provide the delivery man with her address. The delivery man quickly changed the topic by saying that the parcel was not paid for and demanded RM75 from her, which she refused to pay. The delivery guy eventually hung up the call.
    The second encounter happened on the following day when another delivery man contacted her for another unpaid parcel delivery and asked for RM75 from her. The delivery man said that he was at her door, but when the lady checked with her family, no one was there. After seeing the photo of the parcel, the lady realised that the parcel was sent to her old address which has been vacant for a very long time. She asked the delivery man to inspect the item inside, but the delivery man refused to. She then told the delivery man that she didn't purchase the item and the delivery man agreed to return the item.
 The lady did not purchase any item in that period, and even if she did, she wouldn't send the parcel to her old address, which she moved out of a long time ago. Therefore, she concluded that this could be a new parcel delivery tactic. There was no exact proof that this is a scam. However, fellow users on Facebook also shared their similar experiences as well. Another user shared that a parcel was delivered to him in Klang, which is odd considering he stays in Johor.
   Some recommend questioning back the delivery man on the delivery details, which are typically clearly stated on the parcel.
It is always important to stay alert when we receive calls from an unknown number. Don't be afraid to question back or reject them if you find them suspicious.


WATCH: Man Shocks Netizens By Eating An Omelette Made With Cockroaches!

Prepare to be both amazed and disgusted as a man recently shared a video on Facebook of himself devouring a plate of "cockroach omelette" and raving about its flavour. In the video, he boldly declares that cockroaches are not only tasty but also low in fat, making them a healthy choice. Unsurprisingly, this bizarre act sparked a heated discussion among internet users.According to reports, the man initially posted a photo of his unusual dish in a Facebook group dedicated to peculiar foods. However, his post was met with scepticism from a doubter who accused him of faking it. To prove his point, the man uploaded a video where he proudly presented a plate of cockroach omelette, adding more cockroaches for an authentic taste experience.
He started by placing a female cockroach in his mouth, claiming that he didn't use excessive seasoning and that the dish was almost flavourless due to the addition of only spring onions. With no hesitation, he proceeded to devour the omelette, comparing the taste to shrimp with its shell on.
The man clarified that these were Dubia cockroaches that he personally bred, fed with chicken feed, and occasionally supplemented with fruit peels. As they bred excessively, he found it challenging for his pets to consume them all. However, he emphasized the importance of maintaining cleanliness and ensuring safe breeding practices.

The video has sparked a flurry of discussion among netizens, with many expressing astonishment at the man's audacity. While it is not uncommon to find people who consume insects, witnessing someone eat a cockroach remains a first for many.

Want To Have A Good Vision? Here’re The Top Ten Best Foods For Eye Health

The eye conditions may affect your overall health. People with vision problems have a higher chance to have health problems such as diabetes, heart problems, high blood pressure, as well as increased risk for falls and injury. Is failing eyesight an unavoidable result of ageing or eye strain?  No! In fact, a healthy lifestyle can significantly lower the risk of eye health problems. Here are the top ten best foods for eye health  1. Fish  Fish contains omega-3 fatty acids. Tuna, salmon, trout, mackerel, sardines, anchovies and herring are fishes that contain high levels of omega-3s. The findings of some studies showed that fish oil can relieve dry eyes that were caused by spending too much time on the computer.2. Nuts and legumes  Nuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E. Vitamin E can protect the eyes from age-related damage. Nuts and legumes that are good for eye health included walnuts, Brazil nuts, cashews nuts, peanuts and lentils. 3. Seeds  Seeds like chia seeds, flax seeds and hemp seeds are high in omega-3s and are also a good source of vitamin E. 4. Citrus fruits  Citrus fruits like lemons, oranges and grapefruits are rich in vitamin C, which is an antioxidant that can fight age-related eye damage. 5. Leafy green vegetables  Leafy green vegetables such as spinach, kale and collards are rich in both lutein and zeaxanthin. They are also a good source of eye-friendly vitamin C. 6. Carrots  Carrots are rich in both Vitamin A and beta carotene. Vitamin A plays a vital role in vision as it helps the retina to absorb light. Beta carotene gives carrots their orange colour.  Research showed that the body needs beta carotene to make vitamin A.7. Sweet potatoes  Sweet potatoes are rich in beta carotene, which is the antioxidant vitamin E.8. Beef  Beef contains a higher level of zinc as compared to chicken breast and pork loin. Zinc is associated with better long-term eye health because it can help prevent age-related sight loss and macular degeneration. The eye itself contains high levels of zinc, especially in the retina, and the vascular tissue surrounding the retina. 9. Eggs  Eggs are rich in lutein and zeaxanthin. These two nutrients can lower the risk of age-related sight loss. Besides, eggs are also excellent sources of vitamins C and E, and zinc.10. Water    Drinking water can prevent dehydration, which may decrease the symptoms of dry eyes.Eyes are the most important facial feature, so take good care of them!


“Was It Worth It?” Kim K Irreversibly Damaged Marilyn Monroe’s Iconic 1962 Gown, Angering Fans

We've all borrowed a sibling's item of clothing and accidentally torn it or stained it at least once in our lives so we know how scared and guilty we feel. Well, imagine that times 1000%!So, the 2022 Met Gala came and went and we couldn't stop gushing over Blake Lively's amazing dress transformation but one other thing that people couldn't stop talking about was Kim Kardashian wearing Marilyn Monroe's 1962 gown. Unfortunately for Kim, not everything people talked about was positive.
  Few people liked Kim's clothing decision, Marilyn lovers believed it was an insult to the star or fashion conservationists thought it was harmful to the fabric's 60-year-old age.People were angered even more when Kim admitted that she lost 16 pounds to fit into the gown! Apparently, when she first tried it, she was rejected because the dress didn't fit properly, determined to wear the dress, Kim returned to Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum in Orlando, Florida 16 pounds lighter.
  Unfortunately, the garment, which is now on display at Ripley's Hollywood location, was photographed before and after by the @marilynmonroecollection Instagram account, and it looks like it has been damaged. Some of the crystals that were stitched on the dress have come off, leaving some loose threads dangling. The photographs were captioned "Just in case you missed it...Missing crystals, and some left hanging by a thread."Although Ripley's shared a press release stating that "great care was taken to preserve this piece of pop culture history", the images posted by The official Marilyn Monroe Collection Instagram account seem to contradict the statement. Fans were outraged to find that their idol's garment had been ruined, and they filled the comments section with comments sharing their anger and disappointment. Thankfully, Kim did not entirely damage the dress, but it would have been in better shape if it had not been removed from the museum. Hopefully, the dress's state will encourage other fashion conservationists to treat their historic artefacts with more care.

Some of you may recognize him as the friendly guy who always makes you feel at home. While for others, he was family.His most recent business endeavor was opening @doudou_bake with his partner, Keith Koay. It's the well-known bakery in SS4, Kelana Jaya, that is popular for its freshly baked pastries and roasted coffee, both of which sell out in a matter of minutes.In addition to the well-known Dou Dou Bake that we all enjoy, he also owns Three Little Birds, Artisan Roastery, Murky Wines, and other businesses. According to what we know about him, Joey loves building an environment where people can enjoy good food and coffee in a tranquil, welcoming environment. He and his partner undoubtedly overcame the challenges and made it through the pandemic despite starting the business then.Joey has unquestionably committed his life to coffee as we all know.  He even reached the point in his life when he and one of his partners traveled all the way to a farm in Brazil to obtain beans for their brand-new coffee roaster at the time. It, coincidentally, led to their investment of around RM 500,000 in imports to Malaysia.The coffee entrepreneur was also included in Prestige's 40 Under 40 segment, which undoubtedly represents one of his career's apex moments.Joey Mah, you will be missed.Rest in flavour, Dear Sir Coffee Connoisseur!

How To Avoid Careless Mistakes At Work | 6 Ways To Avoid It

Did you make a careless mistake at your workplace today? It is common for us to overlook tiny but crucial elements at our work especially when we are on a tight deadline. Everyone experiences careless, silly, and foolish mistakes, be it sending the email to the wrong person, the grammatical error that you can avoid, and reports with typographical errors that impact the project indirectly.While those mistakes are unintentional, there are ways for us to reduce them by learning from our experience. There are studies that support people who believed they are likely to make a mistake in their work will have a higher chance of avoiding the mistake. Therefore, what are the tips to avoid making careless mistakes at work?1. Give 100% Attention and Focus When You Are Working On ItWhen you begin a project, make sure you have your uninterrupted, full focus on it without shifting your mind to other “side project”. Give in your full attention and avoid multitasking as it will kill your productivity and also, it will increase the chances of you overlooking tiny details in your work. Thus, one of the tips to achieve 100% attention is:【Eliminate Distractions】Turn off your social media sites, turn off phone notifications, and put away your phone. Besides, it is suggested to reduce chatting with your colleague when you are in the midst of focusing on your task.2. Take BreaksYes, we should give our full attention as mentioned above, but not for 5 hours straight. When we overworked, it will reduce the brain capacity to think effectively, and we will make silly mistakes.Therefore, it is better for u to withdraw from work from time to time and let our hair down. Just a short 5 to 15 minutes will do. This is a time where we can have a small chat with our colleagues and keep us positive.3. Ask QuestionsQuestions that arise from uncertainties are important to ask to avoid mistakes. Do not hesitate to ask when you have queries. There is no such thing as stupid questions but the ego that refrains us from asking. One of the tips is to:【Do Your Homework】Find out more before you ask instead of asking without researching properly. This is because it is better to do your work correctly in the first place rather than having multiple amendments after that.4. Avoid Last Minute WorkWe are more prone to making mistakes when we are working against a tight deadline. We will complete everything in a rush and press the “Send” button without much checking. The consequences that follow probably are another round of reprimands from our superior for the avoidable mistake which affects the quality of our work.Thus, be realistic, plan, and allocate your time. You may take your time to do the work provided you give attention to the details.5. Make A ChecklistWrite down your to-do-list every day before you start working. It is better to trust your to-do-list than your memory. Once you have completed a task, tick on your list before you move on to the next task. If possible, include the details of each task.Besides, prepare a checklist that states the points that we need to double-check for our work. Add on to the list anytime when you find something new. By doing this, it will relieve your stress from remembering to check more than 10 points of your work when it is done and you will not miss out on anything crucial.6. Review, Review & ReviewThis step is extremely important that everyone take note of it. Check your work twice to spot the mistakes, check it thrice for perfection.Re-read the email and make sure you have answered every query; Double-check the guideline and make sure your project follows everything; Review the requirements and objective to make sure your work is answering the questions.This is easy yet, many of us failed to do so.Mistakes are meant to teach you, not to break you. We are only humans, therefore, don’t be too harsh on yourselves when you make a mistake. Analyze it, take it as a terrific learning opportunity for improvement, and never repeat the same mistake again.Cover Photo:  wfhwhiz || coffeelaptopwood

Alif Satar Not Involved In "Steamy" Scenes In New 'Pulau' Movie

As everyone is aware, one of this week's hot topics is the Pulau movie controversy regarding the 'steamy' scenes and the somewhat inappropriate outfits, which elicited a number of comments from netizens.Malaysians were surprised to find Alif Satar in the film's cast since he stated that he will not take a role that requires him to be overly friendly or personal with any female roles.According to insiders, Alif was not part of any 'hot' sequences in Pulau since the director knew and respected his wishes."I was nervous as well, but I was relieved because the director understood. He didn't group me with the others in a single scene. I was quite taken aback by how much understanding and compassion there was," he said.At the same time, Alif has also stated that if there was any difficulty with the situation he was in, they discussed it beforehand.The actor noted that he knows and understands the audience that was targeted, the appropriate culture, and the style of acting that is suitable for public watching, even though he has been away from the film industry for a while now."If I believe a scene isn't possible or comfortable for me to do, I'll tell the director, so yeah, there is a lot of back-and-forth in this project."He noted that as an actor, he is aware that the target audience for this film is Malaysians, which is why the selected cast is so varied and comes from different backgrounds.The film Pulau has sparked debate among netizens, as well as criticism, and many believe that such films should not be broadcast in public.


Sleep Paralysis Or Haunted By Ghost? | Things You Need To Know

Sometimes, when you are half awake from your sleep, you noticed that you cannot move your body or make any sound. Thus you begin to recall something about being haunted by a ghost, thinking that there is a ghost lying on top of you causing you to be immobilized. As a matter of fact, this phenomenon has nothing to do with ghosts. Experts call this phenomenon as sleep paralysis. So what is it all about and why does it happen?How can sleep paralysis happen?This phenomenon usually occurs during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage of sleep. At this time, in order to prevent our bodies from taking actions that would hurt ourselves or respond to dreams, our Voluntary Muscles will be in a "paralyzed" state. This is why we cannot move.Sleep paralysis happens when our brains are awake during the REM stage, but our bodies are still immobile. When people experience sleep paralysis, they will have hallucinations due to fear. This also explains why some people said that they saw "ghosts" and "demons" appearing in the room, and heard footsteps slowly approaching.Why do you experience sleep paralysis?There is no absolute cause of sleep paralysis. But, people with stress, irregular schedules, insufficient sleep, anxiety or depression would have a higher chance of having sleep paralysis. If you have experienced sleep paralysis, don't feel scared because each sleep paralysis normally lasts only a few seconds to several minutes. Don't worry about whether you will experience this phenomenon again before going to bed because excessive anxiety will most probably increase the chance of it happening again.It is normal to experience one or two times of sleep paralysis for a long time, but if this phenomenon continues to occur repeatedly, you must adjust your sleeping state, rest schedule, and mental state.


The Perfect Fluffy Japanese Egg Sandwich

  Do you often find yourself wondering what to eat? You want a simple meal but cooking up a storm is not the highest on your “to-do list”. You want a meal that packs a punch! Savory, sweet, slightly tart, and most of all, a wonderful treat.
  This delicious and fluffy treat will surely put you in a great mood! Nutritious and filling, with a decadent fluffy buttered bread, along with a creamy center of whipped egg salad and several pieces of sliced hardboiled egg.All you will need are two slices of bread, two eggs, butter, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper!
  Start by boiling the two eggs for approximately 6-7minutes. Once done, remove from the heat and peel both eggs. Remember to double-check for any stubborn shells left on the egg. Mash one egg and add mayonnaise, season the egg mixture to your liking.
  Now that you have made your mixture, you can start prepping your bread! Butter the two slices of bread ( I like using white bread which adds to the fluffiness, but you can use whichever bread you like).
  Once buttered, it is time for the assembly. Gently spread the egg and mayo mix onto the bread, making sure it is even and you don’t miss any spots. Add the slices of the egg over the spread and cover with the other slice of bread. Et voila, you are done with your perfectly fluffy egg sandwich!
  Go ahead and take a bite, let us know how it is! Enjoy


ZUS Coffee Is At It Again, Serving Mouldy Food To Customers

Zus Coffee is well-known for its coffee, but you may be surprised to learn that this isn't the first time they've served mouldy food to their customers.The previous time they went viral for this was when a customer purchased their Soya Cincau Cheesecake and after eating it, she realized there was something wrong since it tasted sour. She was surprised to see mould in the cake.

Now, you'd think they'd take action by now to avoid such incidents, but a similar issue occurred a few days ago, and this time the customer was greeted with a mould Firecracker Chicken Sausage Roll. She took to Twitter to share a photo of the contaminated meal as well as the receipt as proof.What should be done, one Twitter user asked.
And she remarked that they should apologize first, then return the customer's money - not only for the contaminated meal but for the entire bill. She further stated that they should avoid providing the customer a voucher because they would certainly not return after such incident.

Finally, if necessary, offer medical reimbursement for the following two weeks. Since then, ZUS Coffee has contacted the concerned customer and given a complete refund as well as medical compensation, saying that the chiller at their KL East Mall shop malfunctioned, causing the contamination.What would you've done if this happened to you?

Worried About Bad Cholesterol? These Foods Can Help

Cholesterol, you've probably heard of it. It is the fat or lipid that you get when eating oily or salty food. It accumulates in the walls of your blood vessels reducing blood flow and has been known as the silent killer. It causes strokes and heart diseases. But, enough of the dangers of cholesterol, let's instead look at how we can cut our cholesterol levels down just by eating the right foods!Omega-3 Rich FishNot all fish are made equal. Salmon, mackarels, sardines, flounders, and rainbow trouts are some that are richer in Omega-3, which is a type of unsaturated fatty acid that can only be obtained through food. A moderate amount of it can lower cholesterol levels quite well.
  Brinjal / EggplantEggpplants contain antioxidants, which are your best friends when it comes to preventing aging. Combined with chlorogenic acid, harmful oxidants can be excreted easily, which is effective for cholesterol reduction. Besides, eggplants help to relieve inflammation and fatigue.
  CitrusOranges, grapefruits, and lemons are all part of the citrus family, all of which contain pectin and dietary fiber, preventing the intenstinal absorption of cholesterol. In addition, it is rich in antioxidant and polyphenols, peventing blood vessel-related diseases.
  OatThere's a reason why oat is one of the top choices for breakfast, especially among older people. Oat does wonders with your cholesterol level. Plus, it helps if you're trying to be on a slimming diet!
  NutsForget chips and other unhealthy snacks, you should start snacking on nuts instead. Almonds, walnuts, anything. According to research, they effectively reduce cholesterol levels by 5%!
  Dark ChocolateOk, fine, we're not going to just be all healthy and no fun. You can include chocolate in your low-cholesterol diet, but only dark chocolate that has around 75-85% cocoa. Keep in mind, though, that dark chocolates have plenty of calories so take them in suitable amounts.
  Now, it's one thing to choose your foods correctly, it's another to make sure you don't eat them with too much oil or salt, because eating these foods the right way is just as important as eating the right foods.
