Weekly Meeting Invitation (August 8th, 2022)

Good Afternoon Fellow Rotarians!
 
Hope you all enjoyed your weekend.
What were the 2 most trending searches on Google (HK) today? 
1) Observatory
2) Quarantine 3.4
I would have wagered on it being Quarantine but people seem more interested in whether T1 will be hoisted or not. Nevertheless, I guess "travel overseas in 2022" is back on the bucket list for a lot of us. Yeah!
 
Our next Regular Lunch will be held on 10th August, 2022 (Wednesday).
 
Details as follows;
 
Date: August 10th, 2022
Time: 12.30pm to 2.00pm
Location: Room B2, Holiday Inn Kowloon Golden Mile, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong
Menu: Western
Speaker: Angus Forsyth
About Speaker: FCC member Angus Forsyth has been described as having “the eye of one of the greatest living collectors of Chinese jade”

Quote(s) of the day: 

“The world owes nothing to any man, but every man owes something to the world.”

“I have more respect for the fellow with a single idea who gets there than for the fellow with a thousand ideas who does nothing.”

“If we all did the things we are really capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves….”

“Fools call wise men fools. A wise man never calls any man a fool.”

― Thomas Edison

 
Food for Thought: 
 

Although rich in nutrients, most plant foods also contain varying amounts of antinutrients.
These antinutrients can reduce your body’s ability to absorb minerals from these foods.
Sprouting and fermenting are simple and time-tested methods of reducing the amounts of antinutrients found in various foods.
These techniques increase the amounts of beneficial nutrients absorbed from plant foods and can also boost their overall protein quality.
Interestingly, sprouting may also slightly reduce the amount of gluten found in certain grains.
Fermented plant foods are good sources of probiotic bacteria, which may help improve immune function and digestive health.
They also contain vitamin K2, which may promote bone and dental health as well as help decrease the risk of heart disease and inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
You can try sprouting or fermenting grains at home. Some sprouted or fermented products — such as Ezekiel bread, tempeh, miso, natto, sauerkraut, pickles, kimchi, and kombucha — are also available in stores.
