GET FACTS ABOUT EGGS, DONT JUST GO WITH FABLES

EGGS ARE JUST TOO GOOD

Share this with your doctor and clear your doubts on eggs…

The egg is a remarkable achievement of nature. It contains all the biological components that forms a chicken, and is widely accepted as one of the healthiest foods available.

Eggs are a very good source of protein and the trace mineral selenium, a good source of phosphorus, riboflavin and vitamin B12 and high in nutrients important for the eyes and brain, but high in saturated fat and very high in cholesterol.

In fact, a single medium-sized egg contains 62 per cent of the recommended maximum daily intake. After many years of criticism and bad publicity, eggs are again accepted in nutritional circles, and it is generally agreed

1. that up to 3 whole eggs can be safely eaten each day, and 2 to 6 of the cholesterol-rich yolks a week.

2. Eating more than the recommended number of eggs and egg yolks apparently caused him no problems, and there is in fact little evidence to support any restriction of egg eating on account of cholesterol content.

The Truth Behind The Cholesterol Myth

Cholesterol is associated in most people’s minds with heart attack and stroke, but it is an important part of the cell membrane, and of the sheath that surrounds nerve fibers and allows them to conduct electricity.

3. Cholesterol is also necessary for the production of the adrenal gland hormones cortisol and aldosterone, and of the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone.

4. It is made into bile in the liver and may protect other cells as an antioxidant.

5. A certain amount of cholesterol is necessary, and it is produced in the liver if it cannot be obtained in the diet. If cholesterol is taken in from eggs and other foods, production by the liver is dialed back or shut down, so that the total amount of cholesterol obtained from diet and produced by the liver stays about the same.

6. This has led to the suggestion that the recommended limitation of cholesterol intake, from eggs and otherwise, should be reconsidered

HDL Vs. LDL Cholesterol

There is more to cholesterol than just the blood level, however. There are several different subtypes of cholesterol, mainly HDL (high-density lipoprotein)  LDL (low-density lipoprotein).

7. LDL is the “bad” cholesterol that contributes atherosclerosis, the deposition of fats and calcium in blood vessel walls that leads to their blockage and results in heart attack and stroke.

 

8. HDL is the “good” cholesterol that helps to remove these deposits and has a protective effect against heart attack and stroke

 

SEVERAL LARGE STUDIES HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE “GOOD” HDL CHOLESTEROL IS INCREASED WITH EGG CONSUMPTION

THAT EGGS INCREASE THE BENEFICIAL EFFECT ON “GOOD” CHOLESTEROL OF A RESTRICTED-CARBOHYDRATE DIET AND THAT WHOLE EGGS ARE MORE EFFECTIVE IN RAISING “GOOD” CHOLESTEROL LEVELS THAN EGG WHITES

PROFIT OR CHEATING...Rank your business acumen

Why do people do business?

I’m sure it’s MAINLY for profit…

So read my experience and tell me what you think….what is your business acumen on this?

 

One of those days , I stepped out of the office to have lunch. As I strolled to the canteen, I suddenly heard this great noise that sounded as if war has just began. It was indeed war, it was war of ideologies...Some were fighting while others engaged in very hot argument. I thought I should stay away, but if I did, you wouldn’t be able to share this gist.

 

It turns out that Emeka, a dealer in electronic left his shop in care of Uche, his apprentice. Uche is a teenager of about 14yrs and has been with him for about 3years. A customer walks in their shop and shows special interest in a gold-platted pressing iron. The iron sells for N8,000 but judging by the enthusiasm the customer showed and of course the need to make profit, Uche tells the customer that the iron goes for 20,000. The customer bids for N18,000 and Uche says “bring money”

 

Emeka arrives to the knowledge that Uche had sold the gold-platted iron of N8000 for N18000, a feat he couldn’t achieves as the boss. He asked Uche if he took the customers details… He begins to heap praises on Uche for such a great bargain. Just then, the customer shows up…this time, very angry...he seems to have gone to other outlets and have discovered that the iron actually goes for N8,000 and it has been sold to him at a very exorbitant rate just some minutes earlier.

 

He attacks Uche and starts screaming. “You think you can cheat me”? you this small rat… He grabs Uche, Emeka has to come to the rescue. Then the fight begins…. The customer wants his money refunded, claiming he has been cheated.

Other shop-owners wade in to the matter and they reached different conclusions. Some felt he bought the product based on his bargaining power, others felt Uche and his boss actually cheated the customer.

 

My question therefore, where is that thing line between cheating the customer and making profit? 

Personally, I have had situations where I have bought stuff and after taking a second look at how much I paid and may be getting other price ranges, I would find myself saying, “this guy don cheat me” 

Is there a point when “profit making” can actually be “cheating in the real sense”? or permit me to informally brand it as “over-profit”

Is there limit at what one can make as profit in business?
