If your spouse, significant other, mother, father and friends are all telling you how to eat in order to shed some pounds, now, thanks to an innovative new gadget, your fork can too.

The Hong Kong-based tech company HAPILABS has unveiled its HAPIfork, a computerized fork that gives a gentle buzz when you’re eating too quickly. The product counts each bite you take and tracks your average meal time, the number of bites per serving, and the number of bites per meal where you were “overspeeding,” or bringing the fork to your mouth too quickly.

A few months ago, Philadelphia-based graphic design artist Charlie Layton was eating breakfast when he realized the refrigerator in his rental apartment was made from a similar material to a dry erase board. He decided to doodle a picture on the smooth surface of the freezer door, and posted the photo of the drawing to Facebook.

His sketches were so well received by his friends, that Layton made it a weekly routine to draw on his refrigerator and upload a photo of the freezer art — what Layton calls “Freezer Fridays.”

HuffPost Food recently went on a tour de force of some of America’s major casual dining chains. Regardless of your taste in cuisine, chances are you’ve found yourself at a casual dining restaurant before, whether one is your go-to Friday night spot or a road trip-only meal. These national chains pride themselves on creating a menu that can appeal to a wide variety of eaters. But are these calorie-heavy appetizers worth it? We pitted eight appetizers from eight casual dining chains against each other to find out. Week 8: Chicken Strips.

“Nicely crispy, great especially with honey mustard sauce.” “Could be crunchier, but the
meat couldn’t be much better.” “The best chicken strips I’ve ever had. Hands down, no
question about it.” “Great batter, real chicken taste.”

LG patents smart kiosk for wine cellars, creates a sommelier’s best friend

That LG would make a wine refrigerator should come as no shock. This is, after all, the same company that made a smartphone-controlled oven. But, as a recently surfaced patent can attest, it appears the Korean electronics giant may have more than cooling soured grapes on its mind. The USPTO filing, which dates back to December of 2009, describes a “mobile terminal” (think: portable kiosk) outfitted with a camera that’s capable of scanning wine labels, matching them to a database and then delivering any relevant data.

3 Cooking Methods That May Help You Live Longer

The way food is cooked may be one key to understanding aging and disease.

Chemicals called advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) are garnering more attention from scientists intent on finding ways to reverse the diabetes epidemic. AGEs occur in low amounts naturally in the body, but they also come from food.

The most popular methods of cooking today — grilling, baking, and frying — release more AGEs, and AGEs lead to more inflammation, disease, and aging. According to studies, reduce the amount of AGEs in your food can improve insulin resistance in type 2 diabetics in just a few months.

Whiten teeth safely with turmeric

1 Comment

.

White teeth are seen as attractive and a sign of good health. While this seems to be a valid conjecture, it just isn’t that simple. White teeth can be riddled with unseen cavities or weak with calcium loss. This is especially true for teeth that have been treated with conventional whiteners. Most such whiteners bleach teeth white with concentrated hydrogen peroxide, which is proven to severely damage teeth over time. It should come as no surprise however, as this method kills the microorganisms that resist plaque while weakening the structure of the teeth. Even some herbal treatments for whiter teeth can damage them in the long term, such as lemon juice and other acids that strip away the protective tooth enamel. The unexpected remedy: Turmeric.
