What is Global Warming?

This is an effect of global warming I had heard while chatting with my roommate. I did a search on it and, low and behold, I found a good article..

I have a feeling that this might be caused by global warming. I don't know about you, but it made me feel like something needs to be done or the years to come may be very suprising. Maybe even a harsh winter ahead of us, but we'll see.

Muscle Cramps? How About a Spoonful of Mustard!?

This is a home remedy that I was told about back in highschool.. Getting a muscle cramp can be pretty dramatic. I've got them while exercising, or even when I was stretching in bed! But if you eat a table spoon of mustard, the pain seems to go away pretty quick.

The mustard helps to restore potassium shortages in the muscles, which causes cramps. I'm not too big of a fan for mustard myself. But I heard honey mustard still works the same, and I can deal with that.

So next time you start to cramp up, feel free to reach for the mustard!
