Endometriosis Awareness Month

I recently got an email reminding me that March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, therefore today I'm wearing my bracelet that they sent me when I made a donation. It's important to spread the word about Endometriosis as it effects the lives of more then 89 million women and girls worldwide.

I recently went for an ultrasound and although it's not to bad right now, my endometriosis is spreading again. I have some along the right side of my colon, and some surrounding my ovary. I do get some pain, but still very manageable right now.

If you think your all alone in this fight, your wrong, there are many groups out there, online or in person, and it really helps to talk to others that are going through the same thing. Wear a yellow ribbon if you can, and please spread the word!

Eggs

My hubby found this really interesting link about eggs. They talk about how there isn't much of a difference between brown and white eggs, and I never really thought much about the color of the eggs, but it was a very good read. One thing I do go for is organic free-range eggs.
Eggs supply all essential amino acids (a source of complete protein), and provide several vitamins and minerals, including retinol (vitamin A), riboflavin (vitamin B2), folic acid (vitamin B9), vitamin B6 and B12, choline, iron, calcium, phosphorus and potassium.

The reason why I chose organic free-range eggs, is because I love that the chickens get to eat what they are meant to eat, which is being outside and picking their food from the ground, rather then being in tight indoor conditions and fed some sort of corn feed. Like us, chickens need room, fresh air, sunlight, and healthy food.

I'm also a none believer that eggs pose a risk to cholesterol. I think we should all eat the whole egg, they are good for us and a great source of protein.

What are your thoughts on eggs?
