Don’t Skip Desserts But Have Healthier Ones

Desserts

If you are having a full course dinner, then you would surely have desserts at the end. Usually the desserts served are usually high in calories and can easily get you fat. It is unfortunate we are used to having rich desserts as we don’t mind taking those extra unneeded calories. We even crave for more desserts even though unconsciously we know our body knows we don’t need more of it.

Having a lot of fat in the body is unhealthy. Our body will grow to a large proportion. Then we risk having heart complications and high blood pressure. The list would just keep on going. Cancer possibilities and higher chance to get a stroke. If you want to live past 60, then I suggest you make a change in your diet with low fat dessert recipes.

Rather than refraining ourselves from eating desserts, we should find ways to make desserts more healthy. Making a low fat dessert from low fat dessert recipes is one of the way to do it. You don’t need to worry about getting too much calories when you eat from low fat dessert recipes and can keep eating them without worries of getting fat.

World Most Expensive Wines

Wine Spirits

1787 Chateau Lafite | article provided by http://www.cocktailsandwines.com

When an enterprising young man named James Christie opened his sales rooms in London in December 1766, his first auction consisted of the estate of a “deceased nobleman” containing “a large Quantity of Madeira and high Flavour’d Claret.” The records don’t relate how much these delightfully described “high Flavour’d clarets” fetched but as the whole sale realized a grand total £175, it is a sure bet that if Christie had known that two hundred years later, in 1985, his now famous auction house would sell one bottle of wine for £105,000, or 0,000, he might have held back a bottle or two to enrich his future heirs.

This bottle was a Bordeaux, a 1787 Chateau Lafite, and, according to The Guinness Book of World Records, 18 years later it still is the world’s most expensive bottle of wine. Its great age alone would have ensured a good price but what gave it its special cachet, especially to American collectors, and ensured the record price tag were the initials Th.J. etched in the glass.
