It’s a slow day and I’m not in the mood to cook. This morning I fixed a small bowl of cereal to curb my hunger pains. It’s one of those mornings that I feel less than adequate. So, maybe this bowl of cereal, will give my some strength to get to feeling better.

Around 300 Lebanese chefs prepare to produce a massive bowl of hummus, during a bid to break a record previously held by Israel and to reaffirm ownership over the popular Middle Eastern dish, in Beirut, Lebanon, Saturday Oct. 24, 2009. The event is part of a simmering war between Lebanon and Israel over regional cuisine. Lebanese businessmen accuse Israel of stealing traditional Middle Eastern dishes, like hummus, and marketing them worldwide as Israeli products. Lebanon breakes the Guinness world record previously held by Israel.

Free Credit Report

It’s a common thing these days to see people, checking their credit scores. The three different reporting agencies, have everything listed on your credit that has been accrued since you began buying property or making loans.

I have found that checking your credit report can sometimes, cause an increase in your car and home insurance premiums. I certainly hope this wouldn’t be the case with this company.

They offer a free credit score for you to compare with the other agencies that are reporting your scores. There is also an annual credit report to keep you updated on your yearly accounts. This help you find any identity theft should it occur. We all know what happens when someone takes our identity and uses it to make large loans, or purchases. I myself, fell victim to such a thing a few years back. It’s no fun to follow up on all the different companies and try to get things straightened out.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act says that you have to right to get a totally free credit report from each agency per year. Getting free reports from Experian, Equifax and TransUnion can be done online or you can call them and get a report within 15 days. They suggest staggering the reports, so that you can get a new one every quarter of the year. Credit Nexus, can help you with this, today.

It’s becoming easier to get glasses in today’s world. These glasses are inexpensive and can cost much less than your regular optical stores. I noticed that this website has several different videos and now you can see ads for Zenni Optical on TV!!!

You can go online, order your brand or style, have them made and shipped in a very short time. This website offers $ 8 Rx eyeglasses, and bifocals as well as for a little more than regular lens. Childrens’ glasses are so expensive, and get lost or broken very easily. The greatest part about this company is that you can afford to buy more than one pair and still have plenty of money left. I give a High Five to Zenni Optical for the efforts they are making to make eye wear buying easier on you. They have many testimonials on their website, as to the quality of their products. There’s even an auto try on tutorial, that assists you in selecting the right styles and fit for your glasses.

Mmmm Hamburger

I’m sure that you’ve heard that your not supposed to eat this or that. Hamburger, cheese, mayo, lettuce, pickles, onions…….whatever. That’s the favorite of many Americans and others worldwide. Got to have the french fries, for more flavor as well. Who likes hamburger’s, is a toss up…….you can’t find too many people who don’t like them. They are a good food to fill up with in a hurry and still feel satisfied. I find that it’s easier to eat a hamburger than go somewhere and get a full meal.

Have Bloating?

I found this article on bloating and thought I’d share it with my readers…………
Contrary to popular belief, bloating is not a result of consuming too much water, it’s just the opposite. If you’re dehydrated, your body actually holds onto water, increasing puffiness and bloating. Drinking water helps prevent constipation by flushing waste out of your system and keeping your digestive tract moving. Drink at least eight glasses daily, and steer clear of alcohol; it acts as a diuretic. Exercise helps gas pass through the digestive tract, so you’ll experience relief faster. Start with a 15-minute walk, something so simple could work wonders. Sorbitol and maltitol are commonly used sugar substitutes cause gas and bloating. If you’re addicted to diet soda or sugarless gum, try to kick your habit. An added bonus to kicking your cola habitis cutting carbonation which equals less bloating. Dairy products can cause bloating in those who have a deficiency in lactase . Try eliminating dairy products from your diet and see if you notice a difference. If you’re a notoriously fast eater, you might be more prone to bloating and gas. When you eat quickly, you swallow more air, which results in bloating. Consuming too much food in one sitting by eating quickly will only add to your abdominal discomfort. Chinese-take-out connoisseurs and potato-chip lovers beware, excess salt bad for your heart, and is also a notorious bloating culprit. Sodium causes our bodies to retain water, inevitably resulting in a puffy, uncomfortable stomach. Fiber works wonders for your digestive system. It keeps your tummy full and your digestive system regular. But as with most things in life, balance is key. Bloating can actually be caused by consuming too much fiber AND too little fiber. Try to stay between 20 and 25 grams a day, make sure to drink enough water, and remember to increase your consumption gradually.
