BODY FAT PERCENTAGE (BFP)
The body fat percentage is the total weight of the person's fat
divided by the person's weight and consists of essential body fat and storage body
fat. Essential body fat is necessary to maintain life and reproductive functions.
The body fat percentage for women is greater than that for men, due to the demands
of childbearing and other hormonal functions.
Storage body fat consists of fat accumulation in adipose tissue, part of which protects
internal organs in the chest and abdomen.
Essential fat is 3%–5% in men, and 8–12% in women.

If we decide to go on fast and we don’t eat anything for a week, then we would probably feel hungry, little thinner and maybe weak. But if we deprive ourself of a sleep for seven days, we won’t be able to function at all...If we try to guess which activity is so important for us that we devote almost one-third of our time for it, probably the first things that come to our mind are...
Kitchen secrets/Cooking tips
Soaking Dried Porcini Mushrooms
Dried porcini, as well as shiitakes, oysters, and other dried mushrooms, must be reconstituted before being added to recipe.Soak the porcini in hot tap water ( about 1 cup per ounce of dried mushrooms ) in a small bowl until softened, about 20 minutes. Here's how to make sure any sand or dirt released by the mushrooms doesn't end up in your food.
1.Most of the sand and dirt will fall to the bottom of the bowl, so use a fork to lift the rehydrated mushrooms from the liquid without stirring up the stand.
2.Never discard the flavorful soaking liquid, which can be added to soups, sauces, rice dishes, or pasta sauces.To remove the grit, pour the liquid through a small sieve lined with a single sheet of paper towel and placed over a measuring cup.

Grow your own
In the garden, in the greenhouse, in the window box, or something fancier. Even urbanites can get quite a bit of good eats from not much space.

The new family in the neighbourhood slept over and their six-year-old daughter missed her school bus. Though late for work, her father had to drive her to classes, following her directions.The trip took 20 minutes round a number of turns, yet the school proved to be just a short distance from their home. Annoyed, the father asked his daughter why she had given such directions."That's the only way I know, Daddy," she explained. "That's how the school bus goes."
