Summer lunch
As a fitblr I often see people talking about egg whites and how great they are and how bad egg yolks are. NO. It breaks my heart to think of all the nutrients of the egg yolk being discarded into eggy heaven.
Egg yolks are good!
Nutrients in a yolk: Egg yolks are jam packed with fat soluble nutrients these include: Vitamins A, D, E, K and carotenoids. These help you boost your immune system, keep your bones, teeth, and skin healthy, reduce the effects of diabetes, and help you reduce the risk of cancer.
Also: Yolks have loads of Zinc, Calcium, Folate and vitamin B12. All of which are super important for you.
But, but, but eggs are full of cholesterol! Cholesterol is needed in the body as it is the building block of hormones, also cholesterol helps repair damaged cells in the body. Cholesterol that comes from processed, super fatty food is bad for you, so don’t go out and eat tons of fried food. When it comes from this incredible egg it is not!
Additionally: Eating only egg whites can cause a biotin deficiency, biotin is the vitamin that gives us strong nails and beautiful hair!
In conclusion: EAT THE WHOLE EGG. It is only 70 calories for one XL egg. It is amazing for you. Tastes great. Now I am not saying go make yourself 20 eggs to make up for your lack of yolky days, but do not be afraid to incorporate into your diet.
I felt the need to repost this since I keep seeing egg hate on my dash again.
Love the egg; all of the egg.
Don’t be eggist

This just exemplifies trail runs to me. If you haven’t done one - please find a place to do it - don’t wear the gamin, don’t worry about the time - be a child again. Explore, run as fast as you can, run as slow as you want - jump onto rocks, slide down banks - just live. Show yourself what running can really bring - that primal happiness that can only be found in nature.
That looks so fun..

This was a study conducted into the brain activity of students who had either been inactive or active (20 min walk) prior to sitting the same exam. This is my #1 reason to exercise…nothing is more important than your amazing, incredible brain.
Even small doses of exercise has been associated with increases in cerebral blood supply, neuronal function, changes in important neurotransmitter levels and potentially, neuroprotective chemicals. Active body = active brain = healthier mind.
