One can of Coke a day is an extra 160 calories (672 killerjoules) a day.

If you don't burn that extra energy up, it turns into fat - 7kg per year - that you need to get rid of just to stay at the same weight!

And walking burns 200 calories an hour more than sitting on your backside at a computer or in front of the TV.

So you need to walk for an extra 50 minutes to burn up the Coke calories from one can.

Water has zero calories.

Peculiar people aren't we? 

Life expectancy is increasing and Health expectancy is going backwards - which would you prefer? More life expectancy or more health expectancy or maybe both? 

You might have to put in a bit of work here to make it happen. 

This month's DVD download for our Inner Circle Members chats about which is the alternative lifestyle?

Westerners assume that the crazy, stress filled way we live is normal, with its environmental crunching cities and industries, its inactive routines over-run by computers, its obsession with processed junk food and its aggressive litigious society which screams 'me' 'me' 'me'!

We think the 'alternative' is dropping out and going back to a natural village style life where things are somewhat slower and people treat others with respect.

Hmm.....maybe that's normal and we're not?

Check out the DVD and this month's RGIs in the Rolling Newsletter.

Also, the Recipe is from Grandma......

- Brisbane Airport - Latte or Cappuccino $5.60.

Yes, a cup of coffee has broken through the $5 barrier!

Another challenge - it's not a cup, it's a friggin' bucket full.

PS - a 'small' coffee is $4.60.
