If you plan to feast on the destination spots of Ventiane, Laos and spend days and weeks at the place, you might need one. So here is a review on the famous Sengtawan Riverside Hotel, one of the accommodations you can find in town.
Good to Perfect Location
From the hotel nestled in Ban Sithan Nuean, Ventiane, Laos, you can overlook the Mekong Riverside— a view to behold! Mekong River is just infront of your nose! The long stretch of the river is a sight to behold! Its the perfect hotel for a laid back Vientiane. There are also street restaurants nearby, spots you can pay a visit when hunger pangs strike. Lastly, the location is just right to destination spots in Ventiane, Laos.
The Amenities
The fully furnished 68-room hotel is equipped with amenities such as wifi, cable TV, free refrigerators and more— all to satisfy a vacationist need for comfort. Don't expect a swimming pool though. In addition to this, they offer a free airport shuttle.
Breakfast Meal Included
One good point the hotel has to offer is the inclusion of breakfast meal. So, no need to rush outside the inn to fill your tummy. But the mere fact that you will be filling your tummy in the gorgeous restaurant overlooking Mekong River is exceptionally awesome! It really it is! Trust me on this, the breakfast buffet table
The Drawbacks
As the hotel is settled near the street restaurants, it could be noisy at times and some might find it inconvenient. It may woke you up in the midst of the night. But other than that, I cannot think of any other drawbacks.
The Verdict
Despite the drawback, the perks stand out. I wouldn't even consider it as drawback. The hotel is pretty neat and quiet in my 4 days stay in this hotel. The long stretch of restaurants are really a sight of its own, they serve all kinds of food! Check the hotel and leave a comment here :)
You often hear people say that not all cholesterol is bad; that there is actually a good type of cholesterol that our body uses to keep us healthy. And of course, you would know that the bad type will cause harm and increase your risks of getting certain types of illnesses. But, what exactly is cholesterol? Which one is good and which one is bad? And how do you keep your good cholesterol and reduce the bad one?
Cholesterol is a special kind of fat that our body uses for the following functions: vitamin D synthesis, production of hormones and cell membrane, and production of bile acid – a substance that is important for our digestion. There are two well-known types of cholesterol: HDL (good) and LDL (bad). Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol contributes to the buildup of plaque – a thick and hard deposit in your arteries that could clog them. On the other hand, HDL cholesterol helps remove LDL from the arteries.
High levels of LDL indicate more plaque clogging your arteries. And this can increase the risk of stroke and heart attack.
So, how do you decrease your high cholesterol levels?
There are different factors as to why one can have a high cholesterol level: genes, being overweight, physical inactivity, and eating food that contains a lot of saturated fat, which can raise your cholesterol level. However, there are actually certain kinds of food that will help lower your level of cholesterol.
Some of these are:
1.Soya. Aside from its naturally low amount of saturated fat, the special protein in soya also influences your body’s regulation of cholesterol.
2.Nuts. 30 to 35 grams of nuts each day can lower your cholesterol by 5% in average.
3.Barley and oats. They are rich in beta-glucan, a soluble fiber that helps in binding cholesterol and preventing it from being absorbed.
4.Fruits and veggies. They are a good source of cholesterol-lowering soluble fibers.
5.Food rich in unsaturated fats. These include olive, corn, rapeseed, and avocado among others.
