I have been using eyeglasses since high school, and for every occasion I use a different one. I make it a point to wear eyeglasses that complement my appearance. Wearing glasses is a necessity for me but sometimes I feel that I’m spending too much on them that I’m losing track of my budget.

Recently my friend suggested to me these $ 8 Zenni Optical Rx Eyeglasses which her ophthalmologist recommended. I couldn’t believe her at first — eight-dollar prescription glasses?! So I checked out their website, ordered a pair and tried them. At first glance, the glasses look nice and classy. The Zenni eyeglasses were comfortable to wear and fits my face perfectly. The lenses are very clear while the frame is sturdy and well-fitted on the joints. What’s so great about it is that it doesn’t look like its eight dollars.

The reason why these glasses are inexpensive is because you are buying them direct from the manufacturer, no more additional costs from dealers and retailers.

They come in different types of frames and lenses. They also have a wide variety styles and color. I was very pleased with this product so I bought more to match my different outfits. I was very satisfied with this these prescription glasses so I would really recommend this product to all my friends.

Did you know that maintaining good posture has a lot of benefits? Not only does it make you look good and help you boost self confidence, you can also prevent yourself from getting scoliosis–and you wouldn’t want that. My sixteen year-old sister has mild scoliosis and she looks a bit distorted ’cause her right hip is protruding, but it isn’t that obvious if you don’t look that closely.

So remember folks, maintain good posture, it’s good for you!

Eat Right

Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables–that’s what my mother always says. She’s never been wrong, so I live up to what she says, and I can say I’m a better person now because of her!

We all know that they don’t all taste good, so I tried tasting each fruit and vegetable out there and I chose some that I like. I personally like apples and leafy vegetables.

Try it yourself. Explore the wonderful world of greenery! I’m sure you wouldn’t be disappointed.

Too Much Salt

fitness advice No Comments »

We all can’t live without salt. We use this as an enhancer for the taste of our food. Without this, our food would be bland.

If you value you and your loved ones’ lives, please reduce the amount of salt you put into your food. Too much salt in your diet can lead to various diseases like muscle cramps, dizziness, or some other disease that can lead to something tragic like neurological problems.

I suggest drinking a lot of water if you think you have too much salt on your diet. Try drinking 8-10 glasses a day. This could help you process the salt in your body.

A Smart Woman In Australia

tips & tricks No Comments »

My relative Belle with her whole family - - husband and two young daughters, moved to Australia to become permanent residents of the country. Belle is a businesswoman and frequently travels in and out of the country. In one of her emails, she told me that whenever she travels, she is protected by the Travel Insurance Australia, which means she is buying the insurance every time she travels.

Knowing that Belle is a smart woman and she heeds to my advice, I will inform her what I learned from a friend in Australia that it will be best for a person like her who travels a lot to buy an Annual Travel Insurance. This will save her money and also time, since she can buy through the Online Travel Insurance. For children, like Belle’s daughters, LOVE is spelled T-I-M-E. In addition, I will also tell her to choose an insurance company that gives automatic coverage to her two minor daughters whenever she brings them along in her trips.

A smart woman like Belle, knows how to harmonize her career and family life. No amount of success in one’s career can compensate for the failure in the home.

Watch Your Health!

Are you aware that most of the food nowadays being bought at the market are full of preservatives? Well by now, you should know that these preservatives aren’t exactly good for us.

I, for one, used to be addicted to instant noodles during my high school and college years. Even my sister is currently addicted to those products. It worries me that if my sister gets too addicted, she might have a kidney problem or some other disease brought about by the MSG in these products.

So before you start patronizing canned goods or instant food, please think twice in buying these. I’m not asking you to stop eating these products, just limit them so you won’t die early and leave your loved ones here on Earth.

Magnesium - the Most Important Mineral in the Body

health & diet, food & nutrition No Comments »

While helping out my sister with her assignment in Chemistry, I was surprised to find out that Magnesium (Mg), as defined by Nutrition Data, “is an essential mineral for the human body. It is needed for protein, bone, and fatty acid formation, making new cells, activating B vitamins, relaxing muscles, blood clotting and forming adenosine triphosphate (ATP).” It is even the 11th most abundant element by mass in the human body.

I was more fascinated when I learned that magnesium is a very important mineral in the body since it activates over 300 different processes in our body – from digestion, energy production, muscle function, and bone formation, to muscle relaxation, and heart function. This is why when people suffer from magnesium deficiency, their body goes out of balance.

According to studies, an average person needs around 350 to 450 mg of magnesium each day. To replace the magnesium levels which were depleted via exercise or just your normal routine, you can either to increase your caloric intake by over 50% or take magnesium supplements or magnesium vitamins.

For those checking their calorie intake, I suggest you check your magnesium intake as well.

The Ozone Layer

fitness advice No Comments »

I have seen many products these days that contribute in damaging or punching holes in the ozone layer.

For example, those aerosol spray-containers and refrigerators that release chlorofluorocarbons. Please limit your use of these products since if the ozone layer’s hole gets big, we would all be exposed to the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun.

Please do not think only of yourselves, but also of the future generations that can help change the world.

Thank you!

My Dad is a Heart Survivor

fitness advice, tips & tricks No Comments »

Dad is a survivor of heart bypass operation. In 2002, he was described as a walking time bomb by doctors after seeing the result of his angiography. He was advised to be operated on as soon as possible. Thus in June 2003, he had a successful heart bypass operation.

As we recall, prior to this operation, Dad has rapid heart rate and was complaining on occasional chest pain. Other doctors were saying perhaps that might be due to gastritis. We sought the second opinion who said it might be because of an Enlarged Heart and because of the huge difference in those two diagnosis, we decided to do some research. Our access to information that time was limited, unlike today, there is a Heart Library. Our family doctor advised us to be more informed about the heart problems since Dad’s sickness was not only caused by his diet, but genetics as well.
