Health Care

Last Monday Bob invited me to come down to Johnny Lewis' boxing gym to watch him sparr Solomon. It was great to watch. It was to help them both prepare for upcoming fights, with Solomon fighting on the Mundine undercard, and Bob fighting Francois Botha in South Africa for the interim World Title.

Both Solomon and Johnny were absolute gentlemen, taking time out to have a chat and giving me free reign to take as many photos as I wanted.

Here's one of myself, Bob Mirovic, and Solomon Haumono. To give you an idea of the size of these blokes, I'm 5'10" and 87kg.

I was reading an article on Blogtipping yesterday, which is where on one day a year you make a post about 3 different blogs. It got me thinking and I though "why only one day a year?". So I'm starting 'Fitness Shout', where I will shout out and tell everyone about funny/inciteful/informative blogs out there in the blogosphere!

1. The first is Renee Gets Fit. I came across this site a while back and I duck across every now and then and just see how Renee's getting on. She has a great group supporting her so get over and take a look!

2. The second is a very popular site called Diet Blog. If you want to keep up-to-date with the latest info in the media on weight loss then this is the place to go!

3. The third is one from our own FOH members. Mel Bedggood is one of our forum moderators. On her site you'll see all her training programs, and the recipes for all her meals!

Want to tell me about your blog? Just send me an email and I'll take a look (this does not mean that it will get a shout though! :)

It appears to have been yet another low activity month here at The Health Gazette. Certainly in terms of posts here on the blog, it has been rather quiet I know. However, worthwhile activities have been going on in the background. Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Now I pleased to announce that the June 2007 Ezine Edition has been prepared and will be published on time. Subscribers will already find it on the archive site and it will be in your mailbox very soon.

This month we take a look at essential fatty acids (EFAs). As someone pointed out recently, these have become the modern-day equivalent of vitamin C. They certainly do seem to be well promoted don't they? We examine just what they are and what they do, without the all too widely encountered hype.
