Today’s Health Tip: FIBER MADE FUN FOR EVERYONE!

February 17th, 2010

Fiber for Everyone

So many of us have heard that fiber is an important part of our diet.  I have always thought this was something older or elderly people needed to concern themselves with.  However, increasing your fiber intake can provide all of us with many health benefits.

Women should try to eat at least 21 to 25 grams of fiber a day, while men should aim for 30 to 38 grams a day.

I personally have found that increasing the fiber in my diet has assisted with weight loss and taking care of hunger pains.  Only warning I give is that it may increase your opportunities for being more gassy than classy :) – hence the added benefit prevention of constipation!  Many studies have suggested that increasing your fiber intake may reduce your risk of colon cancer as well.

Many breads, cereals, pastas, and even some yogurts have increased levels of cholesterol lowering fiber.  Making good choices when shopping and eating out is imperative.  There are a growing number of products that market their levels of fiber however, many of these are functional or isolated fibers.  Manufacturers may add ingredients such as polydextrose, inulin, and maltodextrin to increase a products fiber content percentage. » Read more: Today’s Health Tip: FIBER MADE FUN FOR EVERYONE!

Attention Social Networks – Make Room for Google Buzz

February 9th, 2010

Just like predicted Google will throw their hat into the social network arena, launching Google Buzz.

The company claims that their new social network will be far more complex than just a status update service – such as Facebook and Twitter – and reading their platform documentation, they are not lying. With state of the art cross network integration – pictures from Flickr, videos from Youtube – as well as a massive network infrastructure, Google is poised to become a serious rival for the sorts of Facebook and Twitter. Not only that but it is NOT another product you need to sign up for. It is seamlessly integrated withing Gmail or any other Google application so as long as you are a Google member – and there are over 120 million of them – you are already a part of the Buzz. » Read more: Attention Social Networks – Make Room for Google Buzz

Rahm Emanuel Apology – SNL Style

February 8th, 2010

This is probably one of the best I seen this year on SNL. There is a little commercial before the video starts and that is all due to NBC’s licensing deals but it is well worth the 10 seconds to see the video.

“You come after me on Facebook? What, are you — fourteen? Here’s a status update: Grow the [blank] up! Poke me again, and I will write [blank] on your wall so obscene your computer will cry. Go back to the tundra, you [blanking] gimmick!” Samberg said to Palin in the heavily edited-for-obscenity segment.

Miller High Life SuperBowl Commercial to Feature Small Businesses

February 4th, 2010

Give it up again for the creative minds at Miller Brewing Company.

Last year while every other major company out there – I say major because the price tag for a 30 seconds spot is about 3 millions dollars – was bidding for ads during the SuperBowl, Miller High Life shocked the world by placing a 1 second ad during the game. Turns out that one second paid out big time, as the following day at the water cooler everyone was talking about it and not the other 30-60 second spots from competitors. Talk shows from all over the country have further more amplified the buzz.

So what will Miller do this year? » Read more: Miller High Life SuperBowl Commercial to Feature Small Businesses
