DON ’T tell us that.
In the ‘I really didn’t want
to know that, but I suppose I
should’ health facts file, Diabetes
Queensland (@diabetesqld)
tweeted yesterday under its
#QuickHealthFact hashtag that
it took about four hours and 28
minutes of walking to burn off
a 200g rabbit egg, such as you
might consume for Easter.
The group also tweeted that
it took about 54 minutes of
walking to burn off the kilojoules
consumed in one traditional hot
cross bun.
However, with the group’s
website telling us that there
are about 250,000 people in
Queensland diagnosed with
diabetes, and more than 120,000
Australians with type 1 diabetes,
it’s probably worth knowing just
what you’re ingesting.
With that in mind, HealthLocal
(www.health-local.com) have
some healthy Easter ideas to
replace your chocolate cravings,
including plastic, fillable eggs (PD
suggests filling these with homemade
fortunes, such as ‘You will
encounter a wealthy goat. Beware
his pernicious ways and possible
halitosis’), homemade low-sugar
cookies in Easter shapes and a
visit to see real rabbits and baby
chicks.
That’s one way to do it.
The Polish Anaesthetics’ Society
has published an out-there case
study on Facebook of a thief who
tried to swallow the evidence of
his crimes.
Trouble was, this included
cigarette lighters, six watches, a
fork, a spoon, nail clippers and a
pen, Orange News reported.
Dariusz Piotrowski was seen by a
police surgeon after complaining
of stomach pains, and an x-ray
showed his stomach was full of
stolen - and indigestible - goods,
the publication reported.
Police said officers had lost sight
of him briefly during the chase to
arrest him, which was probably
when he ate the goods, it said.
