Eating slowly is better for you

According to a New York Times article on Sun-Sentinel.com, eating food at a slower pace causes people to feel full sooner and consume less calories.
The report stems from 2 distinct studies which stated that eating slower releases more hormones and was responsible for making people feel satiated faster which leads to eating less.
In a 2008 study published in The Journal of the American Dietetic Association, subjects felt full quicker and consumed 10 percent less calories.
Conversely in another study by The British Medical Journal, people who ate quickly until they felt full, had triple the risk of being overweight.
In addition to eating slowly, we recommend using Caricoʼs waterless and greaseless cookware, Ultra-Tech II. Itʼs easy to use, easy to clean and seals in all the vitamins, nutrients and flavor.

Approximately 7-10 minutes per side. Then place the Carico Ultra Tech II cover on with the Ultra Tech valve open.

Place pan with the Ultra Temp Valve open on medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and close the Ultra Temp valve. Cook for 2 hours.

In Carico’s Ultra Cooker on “browning function”, without the lid heat olive oil. Sauté celery, onion, carrot, pancetta, and garlic until onions begin to brown. Stir in beans, herbs, tomatoes, and broth. Lock the Carico Ultra Cooker lid and select the “soup function” and cook. Allow pressure to drop naturally.

Once pressure drops on its own accord, check beans. If not yet soft, return pot to full pressure and cook for 1-2 minutes more, allowing pressure to again drop naturally. Remove Carico’s Ultra Cooker lid and stir in pasta. Simmer, uncovered, for 5-7 minutes or until pasta is tender. Serve up individual portions. Drizzle olive oil atop and garnish with a sprig of rosemary and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Cyanide in Tap Water?

A recent report from Fox News local affiliate in West Palm Beach focuses on what kind of contaminants are commonly found in tap water and which ingredients arenʼt being tested for.
According to the Environmental Working Group, a non-profit group that studied tap water across the entire United States, “People have a good reason to be worried.” They found contaminants, like Trihalomethanes, that sometimes go above recommended safety levels. Trihalomethanes are a liver toxin and can be very dangerous. They also found more than 200 chemicals in our tap water that arenʼt government regulated such as cyanide from industrial pollution.
According to Dr. Bill Louda, an Environmental Biochemist, if your really worried about your tap water, “I would spend the money on a final use filtration system.”
Fortunately, Carico offers a wide range of point of use water filtration systems. Point of use systems offer protection at the final point in which the water could possibly become contaminated. This can reduce or eliminate contamination from old pipes, organic matter and even bacteria.
