POULTRY ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA CELEBRATES 2020 WORLD EGG DAY: Eat Your Egg Today And Everyday! - #WorldEggDay

Egg is the most suitable food for human consumption. It has not less than 98% body absorption rate. It is a dietary mainstay, not only for breakfast but to feed needing kids, it only stands in for a quick lunch or supper.
Though, for many decades back, eggs had an unwholesome reputation! It was termed villainous because of cholesterol content!
After many years of unsubstantiated claims, which made many to shun eggs eating or mere eating the white part!, then, the American Heart Association (AHA) revised its dietary guidelines and recommended an egg a day for an adult!

LET US EAT EGGS :
Relying on Science and with the recommendation of AHA, we can always enjoy the wonderfully nutritious egg! Egg contains the highest biological value for protein. One egg has 75 calories with 7 grams of high quality protein, 5grams of fat, and 1.6grams of saturated fat,along with iron, vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids.

The egg is a powerhouse of disease- fighting nutrients like Lutein and Zeaxanthin. These carotenoids reduce the risk of age- related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in older adults. Eggs consumption enhances brain development and memory due to its choline content!

EGG : A satisfying source of protein - Another good reason to eat eggs is that, they keep you feeling full! 2 boiled eggs as breakfast would keep the stomach full until lunch.
As you face the challenge of losing weight, it's important to eat foods that are naturally nutrient- rich and stave off Hunger between meals ; The egg is an "excellent example.
As we celebrate this year's WORLD EGG DAY, with the theme " EAT YOUR EGG TODAY AND EVERYDAY " we at the Poultry Association of Nigeria, Remo Zone of Ogun State chapter, emphasize the importance of eggs in our daily nutrition and encourages people (both young & old) to include egg in their daily diet.

When you are in the kitchen cooking or doing what you know how to do best, and suddenly things just gets out of control with the gas cylinder or you start to notice an abnormal flame pattern with the burner and before you could detect the fault, there is fire outbreak
The cylinder is about to burn, and you have been hearing how gas explosion kills people in seconds, out of fear of not wanting to die. Most people who are not knowledgeable enough in this area, do the first thing their brain tells you them to do, which is to pour water on the fire.

Off course, water is a good solution for fire, its not a bad idea to pour water on fire, but it's a bad decision to pour water on a gas cylinder that has caught fire. its a really bad idea to pour water on that type of fire! Just incase you don't know, there are five classes of fire and each has a different way of putting it off.

This includes our regular fire which occurs with wood, plastics and other solid stuff and water is the best remedy for it.
This is the main focus here, it involves combustible liquids and gases, and water is definitely a bad idea with this type of fire, not to forget that we also have class-C, class-D and class-Ktypes, but we won't get to that yet. So if water is not the best idea on stopping this type of fire, then what can you do to manage the situation?
First of all, manage your anxiety and fear, try not to panic, that's the first and most important step to managing it. Then you need to hurry up and put a large-enough cloth inside a bucket of water, let the cloth soak, then use it to cover the source of the fire. Make sure to spread the wet cloth over the area where the fire is coming from, then turn off the cylinder and leave the area for a while.

Don't ever try to pour water directly over the fire as this will cause a wider spread. Your biggest challenge in doing this, is your own fear, fear can make you do the wrong thing, you don't want to be at the mercy of your gas cylinder.
