Hey there everyone. There seems to be so much confusion regarding the consumption of eggs and cholesterol in the body. My husband, Scott and I just LOVE to eat eggs. I have at least one or two whole eggs a day. Scott has much more than that! So are we jeopardizing our health over our love of eggs!?

I’ve done some research on my own and this is what I’ve found:

What is Cholesterol Anyway??

Cholesterol is a complex fatty substance found in every living cell. We cannot live without it. It provides the building blocks from which the body makes its own supply of sex and adrenal hormones. Cholesterol can also be converted to vitamin D in our body and used for the calcification of bones and teeth.

Our body is capable of making its own supply of cholesterol. In fact, most of the cholesterol found in our body is made there; only part of it comes from the food we eat. The liver and intestines are the primary sites where it is manufactured. Overproduction of cholesterol may be the most important factor contributing to arteriosclerosis, a form of hardening of the arteries.

Numerous dietary studies have been undertaken to determine the effect of cholesterol intake on the level in the body:

Basically, the studies reveal that

If You’re Too Busy To Exercise, There’s More Than Time Standing In Your Way

You say you don’t have time to exercise but truthfully, how hard have you tried. When you look at your list of things to do, how close to the top does daily exercise land? Have you stopped to seriously consider the real reason you are perhaps conveniently too busy.

I have heard and even made a lot of excuses for this avoidance behavior. Do any of these sound familiar?

• I don’t have time
• I don’t like to exercise
• Exercise is boring
• It’s too hot, too cold, too rainy
• I don’t see any change in my body
• Exercising makes me eat more
• I am gaining more weight
• Healthy food is expensive

If you’ve been around long enough, you are probably guilty of making or thinking every one of those excuses. But you are still

Here’s your weekly dose of work at home humor from my buddy Dan Reinhold of WAHumor.com. Today’s post is full of good laughs and some seriously great thought provoking insights. What makes it funny is that it’s not far from the truth. Sometimes the online lifestyle can shut us out from the things that truly matter most to us. Enjoy the laugh and the insights…

Here’s hoping you haven’t gotten to that point, or even close. If you have, I know a good arborist who can give you a trim cheap.

Unhealthiness seems to be the default work at home lifestyle: sitting for hours, staring at a computer monitor, typing repetitively, barely moving (except for more coffee/soda/chips/leftover birthday cake/anything the kids have hidden, etc.) and oh yeah, that stuff I wrote in the parentheses there.

I am, of course, much too busy sitting, staring, typing and barely moving right now to address those concerns. Not to mention it’s a beautiful sunny day as I write this…

Stuffed Green Peppers are full of so many nutrients. They are an excellent, healthy meal packed with fiber. This meal does NOT need to take up much of your time… simply prepare the rice ahead of time, add a few more ingredients, stuff the peppers, and put them into your crockpot to simmer all day. Voila! A nutritious meal in NO TIME!

What I love about this meal is you are getting lots of vegetables and protein. I used black beans for protein, however you can add lean ground beef.

I hope that you enjoy the video and give this meal a try!

Cheers to health,

My buddy Dan Reinhold is back today to share some more work at home humor with you. Enjoy!

Sometimes is a nice word, but not always a good policy.

To say “Sometimes I like to watch the sunset and reflect positively on the day” would be good. However, to say “Sometimes I do what I know I need to do and sometimes I don’t” is really not so good, especially over time.

Now when you work in a home office setting, it’s a really bad policy. It’s all about you in this case – you’re the results getter… or not. That applies to every aspect of your online business, including your personal fitness.

The holidays are fast approaching and with that so are the days of being out of the house for hours upon hours as you shop for that perfect gift.

Most of those times, you will have to take the kids with you and that is not always a pleasant event. They get tired, bored and start bickering and it can drive you crazy.

Some of the things you can do while on your shopping trip are…

• Make sure to bring along hand held games they can play.

• Keep quick snacks like raisins, grapes, carrots, or nuts. Avoid junk food and sugary treats because that will only escalate the problem.

• Pack a quick healthy lunch and opt out on the fast food. Instead stop at park if it is warm enough or an indoor botanical garden where you can take a breather for a while and enjoy your kids.

• Let your kids shop with you. Instead of just taking them, let them participate in the shopping experience by allowing them to help choose gifts, check off the food on the grocery list as it enters the basket, or let them handle paying the cashier.

Taking the kids along shopping may not be the ideal thing to do; but often necessary so be sure to be prepared.

To help you with some quick lunch ideas, I have a few recipes

With the current state of the economy you may find it difficult to eat healthy foods while on a budget.  However, let’s not use the economy as an excuse. There are ways to still eat healthy on a budget and below I share some tips.

Drink Water or Milk Instead of Soft Drinks

You don’t have to cut out soft drinks entirely, just limit to sporting events or when out to dinner.  Be sure to purchase the smaller size to save money, but in all honesty soft drinks are loaded with chemicals and sugars that our body does not need.  Children and even adults need milk or milk products on a daily basis.  Milk will also help you get strong and provides calcium for healthy bones and healthy teeth.

Purchase Fruits in Quantity

When they are in season, buy fruits in quantity and freeze any extras.  You can buy several pounds this way, and freeze extras to have them when the fruit goes out of season.  Wash the fruit well, remove any spoiled pieces, dry thoroughly, then freeze in plastic zipper bags.

Purchase Meats and Beans

The best sources of protein are meats and beans.  Although lean meat is
