Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Follow a low-carb diet to lose weight and boost HDL levels. Focus on eating whole grains to get more fiber in your diet. Consume 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of extra virgin olive oil a day. Eat a serving of fatty fish 1-2 times a week for the omega-3 fats. Sprinkle ground flaxseed onto your food for the healthy fats. Avoid fried food, red meat, and dairy products.

Answer: Losing weight will reduce your levels of LDL cholesterol, also known as the “bad” cholesterol, while also boosting your HDL cholesterol or “good” cholesterol. Starting a low-carb diet is a great way to lose weight and increase your HDL levels naturally and in a healthy way.  If you have diabetes or another medical condition, talk to your doctor before you make changes to your diet. Avoid fried, fatty, or processed foods, which can increase LDL cholesterol and cause you to gain weight. Eat healthy whole grains such as brown rice and wheat bread for their complex carbohydrates, which are a better source of energy and will make you feel fuller for longer. Whole grains will also provide you with plenty of dietary fiber, which will help lower your LDL cholesterol levels, giving your HDL levels a boost.  Dietary fiber will also help improve digestive health. Other sources of whole grains include oats, barley, quinoa, and whole-wheat pasta. Olive oil is loaded with fats that are great for your cardiovascular health and will both increase HDL cholesterol levels and reduce inflammation caused by LDL cholesterol. Use olive oil instead of other oils to cook with, make sauces, or drizzle over salads. Because it’s so nutrient-dense and full of calories, make sure you consume olive oil in moderation. Omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in fish, can improve your cholesterol ratio by reducing your LDL cholesterol levels and maintaining your healthy HDL cholesterol. Getting omega-3 fats from your food is the best way to absorb it. Add a serving of a fatty fish to your plate at least once or twice a week to get enough omega-3 fats.  Good sources of omega-3 fats include salmon, mackerel, tuna, sardines, and trout. When it comes to LDL cholesterol, the lower you can get it, the better. Ground flaxseed has been shown to help reduce inflammation caused by LDL cholesterol and lower your total cholesterol to a healthier ratio. Ground flaxseed is super easy to sprinkle over your salads or add to dishes so you can take advantage of its benefits.  Eat about a teaspoon (3 grams) of ground flaxseed for your daily intake. Add ground flaxseed to a tasty nut butter sandwich or add it with your other seasonings whenever you’re cooking a dish. Limiting the amount of trans and saturated fats that you consume is directly linked to improving your cholesterol levels. Try to avoid red meat such as steak and ground beef, as well as dairy products like milk and cheese to reduce your intake of unhealthy fats to boost your HDL levels.  Processed foods and desserts often contain high levels of trans or saturated fats, which are harmful to your cholesterol. Try to cut out sugary sweets such as candy and donuts as well, which can cause you to gain weight.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pry the sides loose with a rounded knife. Unstick the bottom with a flexible nylon spatula. Shake the cake onto the serving plate. Tap the base of the pan. Leave it to sit upside down. Twist or lever the cake out (not recommended).

Answer: Select a palette knife if you have one, or a slim butter knife if you don't. Push the vertical knife down between the cake edge and the pan. Carefully move the knife around the entire cake to loosen the sides. Stay as close to the pan edge as possible to minimize the amount you cut into your cake.  If the cake is for a major occasion, you may want to try the other methods first. This one often causes minor damage. If the cake burned onto the sides, saw up and down slowly to break it loose. You may need to go around the cake four or five times. Push the spatula down at the edge of the pan, as you did with the knife. This time, lever the spatula inward as you move around the cake. This tool should be flexible enough to separate the perimeter of the base from the pan.  If the cake is seriously stuck, don't try to force it off. Skip down to one of the other methods instead. You can use a thin metal spatula or pizza peel instead. Run hot water over it first, as the heat and moisture can help unstick the cake. Place a large plate over the cake pan. Hold them firmly together and flip them upside down. Shake the pan softly until the cake comes out.  You may flip it onto a cooling rack instead. Keep something underneath the rack to catch crumbs. If the cake is damaged, skip down to the cake repair instructions. Knocking the base of the pan can dislodge the cake. Hold the cake just above the plate when trying this, tilted at a 45º angle. If this still doesn't work, turn the pan right side up and bash the side against a countertop. If the cake still hasn't popped out, it might do so once the pan is fully cooled. Leave it upside down over the serving plate and cross your fingers. In most cases, you should try one of the methods below instead. If you don't have the time or tools to do so, you can try to remove the cake by force. Be forewarned: this usually results in a broken cake.  Hold the cake with your hands or a spatula, while twisting the pan.  and/or Lever the cake out using the same rounded knife. This time, angle the knife inward toward the center of the cake to break off the base.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Send out invitations well in advance. Recruit willing friends to help you set up. "Black out" your party area. Set up your decorations. Get permission if you plan to throw a real rager.

Answer:
After you decide to have a glow party, you'll want to invite your guests fairly soon — the earlier you invite people, the more likely they'll be not to have a schedule conflict, so getting a jump on your invitations is a great idea. If you're having an intimate get-together, you may want to send individual invitations to your guests in the mail, but if you're throwing a big party, making an event on social media and inviting your friends that way is usually the quickest, easiest option. It can be a smart idea to ask your guests to RSVP ahead of time. Doing this allows you to get an approximate head count, which will let you know how much food and drink and how many party favors to get. Depending on how extensive your decoration plans for your glow party are, you may want to start setting up anywhere from a week beforehand up to a few hours before your party. Regardless of how big your party is, it can be a smart idea to get a friend or two to help you set up. Having other people handy shortens your total set-up time and gives you the advantage of having multiple perspectives when it comes to making decorating decisions. For example, your friend may think of a really ingenious way to set up your LED lights, like stringing them overhead as a mock "ceiling". For a glow party, it's important to make sure that a minimum of light is able to make it into the main party area where you have most of your glowing decorations set up. In other words, the party area with most of the glowing decorations should be as close to pitch-black as possible. If this area is in the basement or attic, you may have very little work to do. However, if there are windows, you'll want to cover them to prevent any outside light from getting in. Black plastic garbage bags make a great low-cost solution for covering your windows. Next, set up your glowing decorations. The exact way that you set up your decorations is up to you, but, generally, you'll want to set up your black lights in the "blacked out" party area so that people in this area will light up with a fluorescent glow. You may also want to decorate the outside of your building with lights to welcome your guests inside and put up glowing decorations in other parts of your house as well. For parties with a few friends, you usually don't have to worry about getting in serious trouble — even if you're too loud for your neighbors, most people will feel comfortable coming over and asking you to keep things down if your party is small and well-behaved. On the other hand, if you're throwing an enormous block party and you haven't gotten permission from your neighbors, there's a reasonable possibility that the police may show up. To avoid this, be sure to talk to all of your neighbors beforehand. Let them know the date and time of the party, give them your number so they can contact you if things get too loud, and let them voice any concerns they have. In addition, if you're throwing a big party, you may want to get a noise permit to legally protect yourself. The rules surrounding noise permits vary from locality to locality. For instance, in some locations, noise permits are required for parties with more than a certain number of people.
