Filed under: PolitikTech Talk

Roads Are Shizzy

That is such a sad number.

Seriously: according to a new study, road congestion wastes 1.9 billion gallons of gas.

To put that in perspective, we pay about $4 per gallon for gasoline in this country, and we're wasting 1.9 billion gallons of it annually in traffic jams.

Celebs Who Suffer From Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Jenny McCarthy Camille Grammer

This is dedicated to all of the FitPerez readers (and 7-10% of the world's population) who suffer from IBS, otherwise known as Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Hollywood (and a few other famous faces) wants you to know you're not alone!

There are a host of celebrities who regularly deal with symptoms associated with the disorder including pain, gas, cramping or bloating, and diarrhea or constipation.

Jenny McCarthy, a former Playboy Playmate, has unabashedly admitted to suffering from "chronic diarrhea" and other IBS symptoms in her autobiography, Jen-X: Jenny McCarthy's Open Book.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Camille Grammer was diagnosed with the gastrointestinal disorder in 1997 and expressed her IBS struggles a statement, saying:

"I am always fearful that my IBS symptoms will return at any moment, so I always have to know where the nearest restroom is. I'm afraid that eating will result in stomach pain. Traveling is difficult. And IBS often makes even a simple evening out with my husband, to enjoy a concert or movie, seem impossible."

Tyra Banks also wasn't afraid to reveal her condition on her talk-show in 2006 when she announced to her guest Janet Jackson and audience that she has IBS.

The Queen Goes Green!

Filed under: Royals RoyceEnvironment

Thanks to the poor economy and the rising costs of energy, even the Queen of England has to go green (sort of)!

The Royal Family's heating bill was $3.5 million last year and is only expected to rise by 20% this year, but their homes aren't the only thing freezing. The British government has FROZEN the Royal budget, so the Queen is now faced with the task of saving energy!

On top of roaming the halls of Buckingham Palace to shut off unnecessary lights herself, signs have been posted, reading:

"The attention is drawn of all members of staff to the need to switch off unwanted lights."

Check out the video above for the rest of the details on the Queen's quest to save energy!

Google Maps Adds Bike Directions!

Filed under: FitnessBike It

Hubway

With biking becoming a more popular method of transportation in major cities, Google Maps has added a bike direction feature!

Sweet!

So now you have a bike, two feet to work the pedals, two hands to steer, and Google directions? What more of an excuse do you have? Get out and bike!

Boston is the latest U.S. city to offer its commuters a bike-sharing program, called the Hubway, which members can use any of the 600 bikes at any of the 61 stations around the city as a cheap alternative to gas.

Don't wait for your city to implement a bike-sharing system to start though! Spend a couple hundred bucks on a good bike that will last you YEARS and you'll save well over that amount on gas!

If not for economic reasons, consider commuting on two wheels for your health! Why burn gas when you can be burning calories instead?
