Eggs: bring on the superfood (Decomposing Omegy)

Hello fitorriors!

I hope you're having an eggcellent day. If not, don't worry! I'm going to brighten it up with this article about eggs (egg puns included - don't you just love puns?).

There's a reason the egg is part of Omegy's name and appearance.

Egg facts and nutrition

I just want to say something before we begin. Eggs are one of the best foods you can eat. Just make sure they come from a good source (like pasture-raised free-range chickens). It's not a coincidence the title has the word "superfood" in it. While every food should be carefully considered to fit one's dietary needs, I consider the egg to be a necessary part of any healthy diet. 

Stop throwing away the yolk and start eating it
Although it has been demonized as an artery-clogging, cholesterol-ridden food, eggs are not the enemy of your heart. Quite the contrary.  

Eggs contain a lot of cholesterol compared to other foods (up to 200 mg of cholesterol). All that cholesterol is going to...do absolutely nothing to your blood cholesterol levels. And neither is all the fat (especially the saturated fat) going to affect your blood lipid levels. It's more complicated than eat cholesterol and/or fat - get atherosclerosis and/or fat. 

Avocado - The Perfect Fruit (Decomposing Omegy)

Hi guys !!

We are beginning today the actual decomposing of our little Omegy! 

As we've said in this previous post, we are going to explain to you why Omegy is the way it is. (Wow, that one could get really philosophical).

Our mascot is half-egg, half-avocado (I know... we have a lot of imagination) and today we'll look at why we've chosen him to have an avocado half.

What is an Avocado ?

Avocado is a fruit that grows on a tree - and it actually can be classified as a single-seeded berry. Native to Central America, it grows in a tropical and subtropical climate. 

PLUS: Its history goes back a very long time ago (50 million years)  and some people think that it may have been food for dinosaurs. Between when the dinosaurs died out and before humans evolved to the point where they started to cultivate avocados, it remains a mystery how this strange fruit continued to survive with no big mammal to spread its seed around.

Say hello to Omegy!

Meet Omegy!

Hello!

Omegy is a great looking, smart, playful creature that may exist somewhere in this Universe. It’s also our blog’s mascot. As you can see,  it's half-avocado, half-egg thing, holding a peace of meat and a dumbbell. It probably doesn’t make a lot of sense right now. But it will. The next post, along with several others will explain the reasons we’ve chosen this strange combination of elements.
