You can reduce your cholesterol by trimming the fat from your meats and opting for lean meats such as poultry and fish. Some types of fish are even better than eating poultry: Cod, tuna, and halibut have less fat and cholesterol than poultry. Try substituting fish in place of beef, pork, or chicken at least twice per week. Salmon, mackerel, and herring contain omega-3 fatty acids which are good for your heart. Fruits and vegetables are high in fiber and vitamins and low in fat and cholesterol. Try to eat four to five servings of fruit and four to five servings of vegetables per day. A serving is approximately a half a cup of cut vegetables. You can: Substitute a piece of fruit for dessert in the evenings. Healthy alternatives to ice cream and cakes include apples, bananas, and fruit salads. Don't add sugar to the fruit salads because this increases the calories.

In addition, it is important to discuss supplements with your doctor because some may interact with other medications, including over-the-counter medications. Supplements are not strictly regulated, so the dosages and ingredients may be be inconsistent. It is particularly important to discuss any supplements with your doctor if you are pregnant, nursing, or treating a child.

You may also experience flushing while using niacin (characterized by a warmth, itching, redness, or tingly feeling under your skin). However, as you continue to take niacin, flushing should subside. Flushing can be made worse by drinking alcohol or hot beverages.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Heat up the butter in a frying pan. Place the fillets in the pan and fry the first side for 2 minutes. Remove the fillets from the pan when cooked. Season the pan-fried fillets as desired.

Answer: Use a high heat, and you will know that the pan is ready to use once the butter is foaming. A non-stick pan is best and will save you time cleaning. You can substitute oil in the place of butter if preferred. Olive oil goes well with plaice, and 2 tbsp (30 ml) is a good amount to cover the pan and fry to perfection. Lay each plaice fillet flat in the frying pan. Fry for 2 minutes and then carefully flip each fillet over, and cook for another 2 minutes, or until cooked through. Most frozen plaice will be sold skinless, but if you buy it fresh with the skin, start with frying the skin side down first. You will be able to tell that the fillets are cooked through when they are opaque and flake easily. Place the fillets on plates to serve. Plaice is a light, fresh fish that goes well with simple dressings. You can squeeze lemon juice, with salt and pepper to taste across the fillets for a simple seasoning. Lemon parsley butter also accompanies pan-fried plaice nicely. Combine 2 tbsp (25 g) of butter, the juice of lemon, and a handful of chopped, flat-leaf parsley in a pan until hot. Drizzle over the pan-fried fillets for an easy dish. This is enough for 2 fillets.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Decide the context of the event. Figure out the strengths and weaknesses of your voice. Practice singing the song alone. Practice with others.

Answer:
Are you singing to your ten-year-old daughter at a birthday party with a few other friends? You'll probably want to keep it simple. Are you singing alone to your husband or wife? Maybe you should sing more softly and romantically. Are you singing with a huge group to your father at his 80th birthday party? Maybe you guys should all practice, or at least decide when you are going to sing. It's important to understand the context of your event so you can figure out what's appropriate. If you've got a deep voice, don't try singing Happy Birthday in the traditional singsong way. Use your deep voice! Stay within your range and don't try to hit the high notes. No one is expecting you to be an expert. Practicing often to yourself, for example at home, will allow you to work out any kinks that may be in your voice and also help you to remember the song. It will also allow you to add special flourishes to the song, like a "cha cha cha" after every line. If you're performing with a group of other people it's always a good idea to rehearse. Designate one person to act as the conductor and start on their cue. You don't want to start at different times or end at different times. Otherwise, everyone should easily fall into line. If you're singing with a group and you aren't going to have time to practice before hand, don't try doing anything special. It's assumed that everyone knows the song.
