Today so many people are taking drugs for high cho lesterol, and having prob lems, unpleasant side effects, from those drugs. High cholesterol causes serious problems in and of itself And taking the drugs prescribed for high cholesterol only makes the situation much worse. High Cholesterol is a condition in which there is too much cholesterol ( fat ) in the blood, making it thick, sticky. Cholesterol can build up on the walls of arteries and over time causing narrowing of the arteries, hardening of the arteries, and obstructs blood flow as it takes vital nutrients and oxygen to all the parts of the body. Foods high in saturated fats, animal products; egg yolks, meats, poultry, fish and high fat milk products. Trans fats, margarine, are high in cholesterol and ought to be avoided. Scientists agree that an intake of 300 mg or less per day of the bad fats from ani mal sources is best to avoid cholesterol problems. However, to lower ones’ cholesterol is easy to do, no complications and no drugs. First, learn which foods are high in the bad fats, animal fats, and commit to avoiding them. Then, eat more salads, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, enjoy more raw foods. Eat less meats and chicken and increase the consumption of foods high in fiber, fresh foods, juices and more water. Add olive oil to your cooking routine and skip the other oils. Research shows that people who eat fewer meats enjoy better health. Eat meat no more that once per day. Have a cold water fish 3 to 4 times per week. Not fried.

Helping African communi ties tackle their water chal lenges is an important priori ty for our Company and our bottling partners and is an area where we can make a positive and lasting impact.” Between 2004 and 2015, the number of people living without access to safe water in sub-Saharan Africa is expected to increase by 47 million people. Africa is expected to miss the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals target for access to clean drinking water by 111 million people and the sanitation target by 289 million. “No single organization can resolve Africa's develop ment challenges, but together with civic society, non governmental organizations and government we can make a positive difference in the lives of the people who make up our communities,” said William Asiko, President of The Coca-Cola Africa Foundation. The Coca-Cola Africa Foundation currently has water projects in 19 African countries - Angola, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Cote d' Ivoire, Kenya, Mali, Malawi, Morocco, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda and Zambia - reaching over 300,000 people. These water projects are all implemented in part nership with local com munities in each country.
