In the subject of nutrition perhaps the least understood area is protein. In a recent survey that asked "why do we eat protein?" the majority of respondents responded with "for energy." Another question in that survey asked: "Each of these foods has 14 grams of protein: ½ can of tuna, a Balance Bar, 1 scoop of whey or soy protein. Does it matter which one is eaten to get maximum protein nutritional value? The majority of people said it did not matter as if each had 14 grams of protein they were all equal.

In question number one, it is partially true that proteins provide energy but that is not the main reason why our bodies require protein.

Dave Scott and Dr. David Minkoff discuss training and overtraining for a triathlon durring St. Anthony's IronMan in St. Pete Florida.

I recently have been traveling a lot and needed to have a way to keep my swim fitness. I decided to bring along with me a stretch cord- its homemade with a long bungee cord and clip. It has really been great. I can swim in a little hotel dinky pool for 30-40 minutes non -stop and get a great workout. It has really improved my feel for the water as well. There is no resting, no turns just swimming with varying pace and intensity. I recommend you try it. It saves me time cuz my condo has a pool at home too and no driving.

Then today I ran across this link in using this in another way. Take a look. For learning what it feels like to swim fast it's a great drill.

When we meet with someone, and he or she tells us about their problems, our response is almost the same every time: "yes, but this is not the end of the world."

Well, I believe that at the present we are facing "the end of the world", at least as we know it today. Great changes and inventions have taken place during crisis, and definitely, they have changed the world.

I would like to mention some negative changes that have changed the world:

• Roman Empire decline
• World wars I and II
• Atomic bomb – Hiroshima (atomic era)
• 1929 Stock Market Crash

• Bankruptcy of GM???, the world icon

However, in those needs there were some Quantum leaps from positive events: . . .
