History of the modern olympics

The Olympics or Olympic Games is a multi-sport event which takes place every four years. The games are a revival of the Olympic Games held in ancient Greece. They were revived by a French nobleman, Baron de Coubertin, in 1894, with the objective of promoting international peace and understanding through sporting competition. The Summer Olympics is formally called the Games of the Olympiad. The first Olympiad was held in Athens, Greece.

The Winter Olympics, established in 1924, features winter sports held in ice or snow and is also held every four years. Until 1994, the Winter and Summer Olympics were held in the same year, but in 1986 the International Olympic Committee, which organises the Olympics, decided to separate them, so as to spread costs for all involved parties.

Foods vary in their amounts of calories and nutrients

Some foods such as grain products, vegetables, and fruits have many nutrients and other healthful substances but are relatively low in calories. Fat and alcohol are high in calories. Foods high in both sugars and fat contain many calories but often are low in vitamins, minerals, or fiber.

People who do not need many calories or who must restrict their food intake need to choose nutrient-rich foods from the five major food groups with special care. They should obtain most of their calories from foods that contain a high proportion of essential nutrients and fiber.

Nonfluid Oils

oils are relatively non-toxic, do not penetrate porous substrates, and are usually black or dark brown in color. When heated, Oil may melt and coat surfaces making cleanup very difficult. Residual oils, heavy crude oils, some high paraffin oils, and some weathered oils fall into this class.
