Book Review 10

Do not go by the Looks

By Vanessa Esquivel Alvarez

This is a great picture book named “Do not go

by the Looks” written in 2012 by Vanessa Esquivel

and Jorge Gonzáles, both Costa Rican writers from

the Universidad Nacional (UNA). As the picture of

this review shows, this story is about two kids Max

and Linda, and Tommy a wolf. Tommy wanted to

have friends, but everybody was scared of him

because of his huge snout, big teeth and furious

appearance. One day, Tommy found a friend “Linda”, but her parents do not let her

be Tommy’s friend just because he looked very dangerous. At the end of the story,

the wolf dies rescuing Max and Linda from drowning on a river. Until that moment

Linda’s parents realized that the animal they considered dangerous, was really a

good being since he risked his life to rescue the little kids. The purpose of this book

is to make children understand that appearance is not that relevant since feelings

are the ones they must value in a person.

In my opinion, the story has good and clear illustrations for children, being

helpful for those who cannot read yet. Besides, the language is appropriate for the

audience this book is focused on. The message that this tale shows is great, due to

some parents do not give the opportunity to really know how the other people are,

unlike, they tend to criticize and judge others by the way they look. And although the

end of the story is sad because of Tommy’s death, people can learn to not go by the

looks, as the title of the short story says, and in that way try to discover who their

real friends are.

Cholesterol’s Problems?

10 tips to reduce them

You may be suffering of cholesterol problems and haven’t realized it

because you are painless. But, what is cholesterol?

According to the Mayo Clinic, cholesterol is a normal fat found in the human beings’ brain, liver, pancreas and spinal cord, which is mainly introduced by eating animal products. This substance is very important and necessary in order to have a proper functioning of the body.

Two types of cholesterol

Good or Low Bad or High

You need this type because it is in charge of collecting that extra fat placed in your cells and expel it from the body.

You can obtain it since it takes fat and puts it down in your tissues, producing you serious problems.

You must be very careful because cholesterol’s accumulation in your

tissues causes your blood not to flow appropriately throughout your body, and the oxygen doesn’t get completely to your heart producing most of the time heart attacks.

You got the bad one already? Don’t worry; here

you have some tips to fight it away:

1. A healthy diet: it is important to be aware of the

food you consume. For example, be careful if you at night eat animal products

such as eggs, meats, butter, milk or cheese since they have a high fat level. Eating

Remember that having cholesterol is important and necessary for your life; just be careful about not getting the bad one.

every day fruits and vegetables containing fiber such as pears, apples, oranges and carrots will help you to expel cholesterol from your body.

2. Your weight: having a healthy diet will help you to lose weight and reduce cholesterol in your body. However, it is important to visit a nutritionist to know which products you should eat to reduce accumulated fat. Remember that what works for some people could not be good for you; go and look for professional help in order to be sure and have a positive result.

3. Sedentarism: Spending the whole weekend in the couch watching TV doesn’t help you that much. Exercising will help your body to be in better conditions since you are going to have more energy and lose fat. For example, ask your friends to take a walk in the afternoon, or if you work, try walking to your job instead of taking the bus.

4. Smoking: According to Chris Sherwood, a

professional freelance journalist who specializes in health and fitness, smoking affects your body by increasing dramatically your bad cholesterol and decreasing your good one. It also increases the triglyceride levels in your blood stream. So, reducing the amount of cigarettes you smoke per day will help you to reduce cholesterol and improve your health.

5. Omega-3 products: consuming those products which are fats commonly

found in marine and plant oils such as fish, nuts and flax will help you to decrease the bad cholesterol in your cells and make the blood flows appropriately. Also, you can buy some natural medicines in your town’s drugstores to reduce your cholesterol. For example, there are some bags you can get containing omega-3 products; buy them, make a tea and drink a cup of it every day after breakfast. You will see that in a month your cholesterol will be reduced.

6. Salt: using large amounts of salt in your food could increase cholesterol in your

body. So, start by decreasing a quarter of spoon of SALT you add to your food and look for oils or vinaigrettes as toppings which can be good for your health and reduce cholesterol.

10

7. Desserts: it is relevant to avoid eating too much sugar to reduce cholesterol in

your cells. But, it does not mean you cannot enjoy a delicious dessert; you might prepare cookies made of wheat, jelly and yogurts. Just go to the internet and look for a recipe containing those products, you will see that those cookies are as delicious as a piece of cake.

8. Fast Food: although this type of food seems delicious, it is considered one of the main causes to increase cholesterol in your body. It is essential to avoid eating fried chicken, french fries or pizza to reduce that fat in your cells. I know that stopping at a fast food restaurant, or driving through is easier than going home and cook a meal, but avoid doing it that often. Make yourself a calendar and allow having fast food once every two weeks.

9. Doctor visits: For controlling your blood pressure, it is necessary to visit the doctor at least once a year in order to detect early cholesterol problems and at the same time avoid them.

10. Check family background: if some members of your family have cholesterol’s problems, you probably can have them too. So, look for information to be prepared in case you present those problems in your body.

If you follow those steps in order to avoid or reduce the bad

cholesterol, you will have a healthy life. Besides, it is not

necessary to stop eating fast food, eggs, desserts, among

others, but you do not have to do it frequently, you can vary

your meals trying different types of products. Also, you can

start by walking or going to the gym to make some exercises

and you will see your health is going to improve.

Take care of yourself, life is so beautiful!

that she's really wanted When you love a woman then tell her that she's the one

'cause she needs somebody to tell her that it's gonna last forever

So tell me have you ever really - really really ever loved a woman?

To really love a woman

Let her hold you -

till you know how she needs to be touched You've gotta breathe her - really taste her

Till you can feel her in your blood N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes

You know you really love a woman

A song to remember

By Maria Gabriela Chavez Delgado

One day I was driving to Limón, listening to 99.5 radio station, the perfect

weather that embraces the tropical characteristics of this beautiful place such as

its warmness and freshness. Suddenly I listened to a melody that immediately

caught my attention. That song made my day, because its lyrics drove me to

another world, this melody relaxed me, and gave calm to my soul during the

trip. This magical song is called Have you ever really loved a woman?

performed by the singer Bryan Adams in his album Till I Die (1996). First time I

listened to the song, I did not pay attention to the lyrics, I like it because of its

music, but when I realized about the lyrics I found a treasure, because the

content of this song, reveals many truths that many men should know when

loving a woman.

The privilege of loving a woman is one of the most beautiful arts that men can

experience through life. As the singer Bryan Adams intones in his wonderful

song, the willingness to enjoy that love for a woman, the dedication to explore

her, to feel her inside the heart, expresses the power that love can have on a

men`s life. This song expresses more than simply love; this is more than just

saying “I love you.”

When somebody listens to the song, many feelings can show up from him/her,

such as peace, love or melancholy, but will depend on the audience. It´s lyrics

sensitivity makes the song moves smoothly through the sweetness of its

melody. The love for a woman should be valuable for men, because when a

woman is treated the way Bryan Adams expresses, men will find a little piece of

heaven in the earth.

Have you ever really love a woman?

Performed by Bryan Adams
