Pizza Excess Damages Brazil Environment

Pizzerias from Brazil pollute the air.

(Mirror Daily, United States) – Based on the latest research, steakhouses and pizza places from Sao Paolo have high emissions because they use charcoal or wood burners.

Pollution scientists from seven universities participated in this research, and they established that despite greener fuel policy, Sao Paolo still has a lot of problems trying to reduce the level of pollutants.

Besides massive pollution from agricultural areas and Amazon rainforest, the burning of wood in countless of restaurants causes significant carbon emissions. The statistics showed that there are about 8.000 pizza parlors in the city making around a million pizzas every day.

It means that every pizzeria makes 800 pizzas every day in the wood-burning stoves. Worse, around a few thousands of them are made for home delivery. Because the level of pollution is so high, the consequences are not only severe, but the green fuel policy becomes ineffective as well.

Sao Paolo is the only metropolis in the world that requires drivers to use clean biofuel in their vehicles, which consists of sugarcane ethanol, soy diesel, and gasohol made 75 percent from gasoline and 25 percent ethanol.

According to Dr. Prashant Kumar from the University of Surrey in the U.K., steakhouses and pizzerias burn over 7.5 hectares of Eucalyptus forest every month to cook enough food for their customers. Worse, these places burn more than 307.000 tons of wood every year.

These numbers are highly concerning because it means that the level of air pollution is already critically and will continue to increase, while the deforestation will not stop as well. Many efforts are made in order to reduce the pollutants in the city.

A new law will require the transport system of Sao Paolo to drop off the vehicles number, which is around 7 million nowadays. Nevertheless, further research is needed in order to establish the effect of coal-fired pizza on the environment.

It is known that wood-fired stoves can reach temperatures of 1.200 degrees Fahrenheit leading to a high emission of carbon dioxide. This problem occurred before in Italy as well when San Vitaliano, a small town near Naples, prohibited the use of wood-fired ovens because of the high concentrations of carbon dioxide emissions.

Hopefully, people will change their perspective, and they will start promoting a healthier behavior towards the environment.

Don’t Score Extra Weight this Super Bowl Weekend

February 6, 2016 By Tara Hamilton Leave a Comment

"Don’t Score Extra Weight this Super Bowl Weekend"

The Super Bowl weekend is known for the extraordinary amounts of food that the Americans eat while watching the game.

(Mirror Daily, United States) – This weekend is all about the game, the commercials, the friends, the traditions, the food and the fun. But you should pay attention so you don’t score extra weight this Super Bowl weekend.

The Super Bowl weekend is about so much more than the actual game. It’s that time of the year when you meet with friends you haven’t seen since the New Year’s party or last year’s Super Bowl. And the tradition, don’t forget the tradition where everybody gathers around the TV at somebody’s house and they start munching anxiously.

This year food suppliers have prepared themselves for a big demand for chicken wings (approximately 1.3 billion) and pizzas (more than 4 million). And these are the most popular take-out foods. When you start adding the chips, peanuts, dips, pretzels, candy, home-made burgers and hotdogs and the soda that you eat in between the chicken wings and the pizza, you realize that it’s quite easy to add a few extra pounds in only one weekend.

But there are a few ways in which you can make sure you don’t score extra weight this Super Bowl weekend.

Walk to and from your friend’s house

If you’re among the guests of a Super Bowl weekend gathering you should seriously take into consideration the possibility of walking to and from your friend’s house. There will be plenty of calories just sitting there on the table, and no matter how much your favorite team scores, you won’t burn them by lifting from the couch, yelling at the screen or singing along to Beyoncé on half-time.

The longer the walk, the easier it is to burn those potato chips that you dipped in the guacamole sauce. If you live too far away, consider taking the bus and getting off a few station earlier.

If you’re the one hosting the party, try walking with your friends when they leave. Or do extra errands after you clean the place up.

Try to eat a narrower array of foods

It’s easy to loose count of the calories you consumed when you eat only a slice of pizza, two chicken wings, some pretzels, some chips and a hot dog. All of these watered down with beer and soda. Instead, try focusing on just one, or two appetizers the entire night and one main course. You will notice easier just how much you had to eat and stop sooner.

Better beer than soda

Beer and soda have a lot of calories, but soda also contains a dangerous amount of added sugar which adds a couple of pounds and increases the risk of developing diabetes. A light beer or a ginger beer are more recommended for you. Plus they come in smaller containers so you can keep better track on how much you had to drink.

All in all, the best thing you could do this weekend is have fun and hit the gym starting Monday.
