some points:

there is evidence that points to lower cholesterol levels in people who eat several small meals a day.
Eating about three ounces of walnuts a day is shown to decrease blood cholesterol levels by 10% more than an already low fat, low cholesterol diet. Walnuts are high in fat, but it is mostly polyunsaturated fat, which is the kind that lowers cholesterol. Another study shows that about three ounces of almonds which are rich in monounsaturated fat, lowers LDL by 9%
You may have read about the low rate of heart disease in France. It led researchers to believe that the French habit of drinking red wine with meals contributes to this. Apparently some of the non-alcoholic ingredients in red wine raises HDL and suppresses the body from producing LDL.
Purple grape juice works the same way. It will work like red wine to lower the fat level in your blood. The LDL lowering effect of red wine and grape juice comes from a compound that grapes produce normally to resist mold. The darker the grape juice, the better.

Dad gave us the recipe for his famous dish, we decided to try making it ourselves. This was the result:

这道菜是把苦瓜和南瓜一同用蒜蓉和豆豉来炆。南瓜和苦瓜一甜一苦，于是被命名为甘苦与共。旁边的小蝶里是用辣酱，番茄酱和醋配的调料。吃的时候沾沾调的酱，味道出奇的好。
The dish contains 5 flavours: sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and spicy which is analogue to how there are so many different flavours to life.
