I’m looking forward to the series debut of JANE on Apple TV +.  It’s a series I can relate to, as I grew up in awe of Jane Goodall, the woman the series is based on.  I was given the opportunity to review the series and I think it’s going to be a huge success.  It focuses on the young girl JANE and her vivid imagination. She has a great respect for Dr Jane Goodall and shares her passion for nature and love of animals. 
Apple TV+ today unveiled the launch date and cast for “Jane,” a new 10-episode mission-driven series for kids and families inspired by the work of Dr. Jane Goodall. From Emmy Award winner J.J. Johnson (“Dino Dana”, “Endlings,” “Ghostwriter”), Sinking Ship Entertainment and the Jane Goodall Institute, “Jane” premieres globally on Friday, April 14 on Apple TV+.
Ava Louise Murchison (“Reacher”) stars as Jane Garcia, a 9-year-old budding environmentalist on a quest to save endangered animals. Using her powerful imagination, Jane takes her best friends David, played by Mason Blomberg (“Shameless”), and Greybeard the chimpanzee on epic adventures to help protect wild animals all around the world because, according to her idol Dr. Jane Goodall: “Only if we understand, will we care. Only if we care, will we help. Only if we help, can they be saved.”
Cast also includes Tamara Almeida (“Secrets at the Inn”), Dan Abramovici (“Wayne”), newcomer Jazz Allen and Sam Marra (“Stumptown”).
“I’m excited about this opportunity and relationship with Apple and Sinking Ship. The program ‘Jane’ spreads a message of hope and reminds children that the environment is something that we all have to be concerned about while also inspiring them and their parents to make a difference,” said Dr. Jane Goodall.
From Sinking Ship Entertainment, “Jane,” a live-action/CGI-blended series, is created by company partner J.J. Johnson who executive produces alongside Christin Simms, Blair Powers, Matt Bishop and the Jane Goodall Institute’s Andria Teather. Rated G

Mindful Snacking: A Guide to Healthy and Satisfying Snacks for the Whole Family

tabbyspantry

Opinions are divided on snacking. Some people argue that if you eat between meals, you are both spoiling your appetite and adding unnecessary calories. Others will swear that a snack whenever you feel you need it is a good choice; if your body is calling out for food, it is best to heed that call, because your body knows what it wants. In truth, the latter statement is more accurate than the former. Snacking during the day is an acceptable way to stow hunger pangs. Of course, it’s not just as simple as saying that, though. There’s more to snacking than just picking up something quick between meals.

 

There is a difference between mindless snacking, which can see you reach for a bag of potato chips an hour before dinner because you’re peckish, and a smarter approach which adds nutritional value. If you want to ensure you’re getting the best of all worlds, it’s worth looking into how snacking can be to your benefit, and we have a few tips below which will help you hugely in that respect.

 

What is mindful snacking?

 

A mindful approach to snacking is about ensuring that when you eat between meals, it’s not just about grabbing whatever is closest, or dropping in to a fast-food outlet because it’s convenient at a certain point in the day. If you find that you eat between meals no matter how well you plan out meals, then it is advisable to plan for snacking and accept that you’ll get a craving at some point in the day. You can then include these snacks in your weekly shopping, so you’ll always have something good on hand to deal with the situational cravings you get.

 

What kind of snacks should I buy?

 

You should keep indulgences to a minimum. If you have cookies or puddings in the home, you will reach for them when you’re distracted by hunger. You don’t have to ban them outright, just buy them when you want them. If that feels like an inconvenience, great – you should have to go out of your way to eat something that’s not good for you. You should have snacks in the fridge for all the family: protein bursts for you, healthy toddler snacks for the little ones, and fruit and veg for the older kids.

 

What makes a good snack?

 

A snack should be something you can just grab when you’re running low on energy or when a rumbling stomach distracts you from going about your day. If you have to spend time preparing a snack, then the temptation to graze while you’re making it will be there, and despite what we tell ourselves, food that we eat while preparing other food still counts toward calorie allowances. Grapes, whole nuts, and batch-made cereal bars and energy balls are all good snacks, and can quell a hunger pang as soon as it strikes. It’s worth packing a container with snacks to take to work, as this can help you master the mid-morning crash that happens to so many of us.

5 Foods To Avoid For Perfect Teeth

tabbyspantry

Getting perfect teeth should be easy, but it rarely is. We live in an environment today where society tells us to consume the foods and drinks most likely to stain them and cause damage. 

 

The trick here is to fight back by making smart choices. Hopefully, when you start making better decisions, your trips to the dentist will be more pleasant. You won’t have to undergo as many root canals. 

 

But which foods should you avoid? Let’s take a look. 

 

Potato Chips

 

 

Who would have thought potato chips would be so damaging to teeth? After all, they don’t contain any sugar.

 

Well, it turns out that while these crunchy snacks may be satisfying, they are not good for your teeth. That’s because they are high in starch that can get trapped between them and feed plaque bacteria. They also tend to be salty which can dehydrate you and make you thirsty for sugary drinks. 

 

Therefore, always brush your teeth after eating them. Stop cavities in their tracks. 

 

Sugary And Acidic Foods

 

You should also avoid sugary and acidic foods. But why? Because foods like candy, soda, and citrus fruits can create an environment in your mouth that allows harmful bacteria to grow, leading to cavities and decay.

 

Here’s how it works: 

 

  1. Bacteria break down sugar when they eat it producing acidic byproducts
  2. Acidic foods also contain acid naturally
  3. The acid then breaks down the tooth enamel
  4. Cavities begin to form

 

Sticky And Chewy Foods

 

 

Sticky and chewy foods like caramel, gummies, and dried fruits can also be harmful to your teeth. These foods can get stuck in between your teeth, providing a breeding ground for harmful bacteria.

 

Most dried fruits are pretty much safe. That’s because they contain other elements that bind with the sugar and make them easy for the saliva to sweep from the mouth. However, refined products are a massive no-no. 

 

Chewy foods can also stick to your teeth for an extended period, increasing the risk of tooth decay and staining. They can also damage the teeth (by pulling them out), if they are loose – not what you want. 

 

Hard And Crunchy Foods

 

Hard and crunchy foods like nuts and popcorn can also be harmful to your teeth. These foods can be tough to chew and can lead to chipped or cracked teeth. That’s one of the main reasons dentists suggest you avoid consuming them if you have dentures. 

 

You also want to be careful with popcorn kernels. These can get stuck in between your teeth, leading to irritation and inflammation.

 

Ice

 

 

What about ice? Well, if you plop it in your drink and leave it there, you shouldn’t have a problem. However, if you chew it, it can cause issues. Ice is too hard for your teeth to handle because humans rarely ate it in nature. It can also cause sensitivity issues by exposing the nerves under the enamel. Therefore, don’t chew it. Instead, sip it in water if you want to cool down, or use an alternative, like sugar-free gum. 

Why You Should Upgrade Your Thermostat

tabbyspantry

It’s so important that your home has a heating and cooling system that is up to scratch, working correctly and can adapt to the changing external temperatures around your home. Thermostats have to be efficient if you don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars fixing it every time it breaks down. Your thermostat has to be maintained properly, but even with the best of maintenance you may need to consider upgrading it from time to time.

 

From companies like https://smarthometechnologies.com/, you can make your thermostat a smart addition to your home, allowing you to control the heating and air conditioning from your phone in the palm of your hand. If you maintain it properly, the entire A/C unit in your home is going to serve you the best possible way. One of the main parts of this system is the control center: the thermostat. So, here’s why you should keep an eye on it and then upgrade it when you need to.

 

 

  1. Improving your energy efficiency. Sustainability is something every single homeowner should be conscious about and if you want to help your home to become more energy efficient and spend less money on your bills, then you need to have a smart thermostat. You may find it hard to remember to turn off your heat or A/C and that’s okay because a smart thermostat can be programmed to turn off when you want it to. That way, if you forget you don’t have to worry.
  2. They are super flexible. Smart thermostats allow you to turn your HVAC system on and off for the entire property, which means that if you all prefer different temperatures you can manage zones in your home. Smart thermostats allow you to choose where to isolate in your home and you can then enjoy the cool or the warm air no matter where you are!
  3. It’s controlled remotely. You can hook up your thermostat to your smartphone and have the ability to turn it on when you are on your way home from work. You can go home to a cool or a warm home depending on the time of year and you’ll enjoy that correct temperature – all with the help of an app.
  4. It’s a great way to add value to your home. The addition of a smart thermostat means that you are going to be able to replace a malfunctioning one. You will find that this is the simplest fix to your issue because you are going to have a well-functioning system and a thermostat that doesn’t collapse out on you whenever you are trying to keep your home at the right temperature.

 

A broken thermostat or a thermostat system that isn’t playing ball isn’t something you should ignore. It can have a much bigger impact than you think and you deserve to have a home that is working and functioning in a way that makes you feel most comfortable. Take your time to choose the right system, though!
