Just put the cat food in sealable plastic containers that way nothing can get in at all.
You can buy mothballs and put them around the house and the cat bowls; that should help to keep them awayAnother thing you can do is if you have some poison around take some contaminated cat food and mix the poison with it and let it lay out where the cats wont get itYou can also use peanutbutter and poison or mix it with somethingEDIT- F-ck the people who rated this thumbs down your moronsThis works for me
Not sure what kind of beetles you are talking about, but, one of my favorite ways to get rid of certain bugs is a bucket of soapy waterJust use dish soap and fill about halfway, and leave it outThe bugs are drawn to the water, they fall into the water because the sides are smooth and there is no surface tension to the water because of the soap, and they drownThis works awesome for boxelder bugs, which if those aren't what you have, you will likely see them toward the end of the summerI also hear this same thing, but adding apple cider vinegar to the water as well as soap.
High cholesterol is very often geneticIn my family, everyone was exceptionally healthy except that my dad had high cholesterol since he was 10 years old (I know! Odd, right?) and I've had high cholesterol also since I was a kidI think I was diagnosed actually around 12 or 13 years oldBoth my dad and I were REALLY healthy eaters, so genetic predisposition was the only reason we had high cholesterolIn our case, it was simply passed down through the generations as a genetic disorder, and nothing else was wrong, except for the fact that high cholesterol can be trouble later by clogging the arteries and leading to heart attacks I had no trouble getting my cholesterol down - I just had to start eating more soluble fiber - I started an oat bran cholesterol supplement and had it down to a really healthy normal level within a yearEating oatmeal or Cheerios every day and cutting out saturated fat can accomplish this as wellIn the case of really resistant high cholesterol, you may be put on medication, but if you're young this is typically a last resortThe medication is easy to take though - not a lot of side effects, and it won't limit your daily life (except for your diet)It's also generally pretty cheapYou can also develop high cholesterol at a young age if you do eat a lot of high fat foods; despite whether you're thin, how much you exercise, etcDo you eat a lot of fast food? Fried food? High fat stuff, like whole milk, regular cheese, fatty meats such as bacon, hamburgers and other red meats? If so, it could simply be your diet that caused the high cholesterol! I wouldn't worry too muchYes, it can be a symptom of other diseases, like PCOS, but you'd typically be having other symptoms, and there would be other blood tests that turned out abnormalThe most common causes of high cholesterol, even in young teenagers, are simply genetics and poor diet.
