Have a great EASTER!

There's a Russian proverb that says "love and eggs are best when they
are fresh". If you are in training for the Southern Charity Challenge
this little piece of wisdom is worth taking on board.

I am definitely someone who loves chocolate but I still try to remember
that the average small solid Easter egg (6g) contains about 2 grams of
fat. So if I polish off a large, hollow chocolate rabbit (100g), or four
medium-sized eggs, and suddenly we're talking 27.5 grams of fat and 2200
kJ (525 calories). It will take 75 to 95 minutes of brisk walking just
to burn off that one bunny.

So as a confirmed coffee and chocolate addict I could never say avoid
the chocolate entirely this Easter. But I will try to consume in
moderation and make time for physical activity --- or make like a
Russian and give my friends and family a fresh, decorative eggs instead.

Mmmmm? while thinking about fresh eggs which some people avoid eggs like
the plague due to cholesterol concerns. Bodybuilders have been known to
swallow them raw. So what's fact and what's fiction when it comes to
eggs?

The debate over the nutritional value of eggs was in full swing well
before Sylvester Stallone slurped six down raw after a strenuous
training session in Rocky. The scene sparked a trend amongst my friends
back in 1981 and we all started to down fresh eggs before footy
training. Muscled folk were mixing their protein powders with raw eggs,
tossing their heads back and swallowing the lot in one slippery gulp.
The trouble is, no one thought to ask if the idea had merit.

The reality is eggs are one of nature's most nutritious foods and
definitely fit into a healthy, well-balanced eating plan. They are
relatively cheap, very easy to prepare, convenient, can be eaten on
their own or form the basis of numerous dishes. Let's get one thing
straight though. They should not be eaten raw.

Quote of the week

I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure
suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps
the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never
the tormented.

Elie Wiesel, the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize winner
