If you’re heading to the kitchen to grab some fresh fruit juice, stop for a moment and consider whether drinking juice is just as beneficial as eating fresh fruit.
According to nutritionists, fruit juice cannot replace fruits and there are several reasons for this.
Fruits are naturally rich in fiber, but most of the fiber is lost when the fruit is juiced.
Also, excessive consumption of fruit juice can lead to a rapid rise in blood sugar levels.
Many people use a kettle in their kitchen to heat water every day.
This may surprise some people, who think that because only water goes into the kettle, there is no need to clean it.
However, just like any other appliance, it is important to keep your kettle clean.
If the kettle is not cleaned regularly, it can leave a hard layer of calcium carbonate on the bottom, which can affect the performance of your kettle and give your water a slightly metallic taste.
The baking soda method
Fill a kettle 3/4 full with water and add a tablespoon of baking soda.
Boil the water and let it sit for an hour.
Rinse thoroughly before use. Your kettle is clean.
The white vinegar method
Fill half of the kettle with white vinegar and the rest with water.
Boil the water and once it boils, discard all the water, your kettle is clean.
ROME — Italian fashion designer Roberto Cavalli, known for a flamboyant, glamorous style and textile innovations, has died at age 83, his company announced Friday.
“Dear Roberto, you may not be physically here with us anymore but I know I will feel your spirit with me always,” Fausto Puglisi, creative director at Roberto Cavalli since October 2020, wrote in an Instagram post.
“Rest in peace, you will be missed and you are loved by so many that your name will continue on, a beacon of inspiration for others, and especially for me,” Puglisi added.
Born in Florence on Nov. 15, 1940, from a family of artists, Cavalli was orphaned of his father at just four years old, as he was killed in a Nazi roundup known as the Cavriglia massacre in 1944.
Cavalli became renowned in the early 1970s for his animal prints and an excessive, sexy style that remained his trademark throughout his long career.
“It is with deep regret and a great sadness the Roberto Cavalli Maison participates in the passing of its founder Roberto Cavalli,” his company said in a statement. “From humble beginnings in Florence, Roberto succeeded in becoming a globally recognized name loved and respected by all. (His) legacy will live on via his creativity, his love of nature and via his family who he cherished.”
After founding his own fashion house in the early 1970s, Cavalli quickly became an iconic brand, loved by top celebrities like Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow and Beyoncé.
Cavalli patented a new printing method for leather and debuted the patchwork denim that was one of his trademarks in Florence’s Palazzo Pitti in 1972. He revolutionized jeans, creating a sandblasting technique to give denim a distressed look, and adding Lycra to jeans to make them sexier, stretchy.
Cavalli took frequent inspiration from the natural world, featuring animal prints and fish-scale sequins. The Cavalli woman ranged from hippie to slick rocker, in diaphanous gowns that caught the air, seductive beaded dresses or sexy skinny suits.
As his fashion house recalled on Friday, Cavalli’s explained once his “animalier” inspiration with a popular quote: “I copy the dress of an animal because I love to copy God. I think God is the most fantastic designer.”
He stepped back from designing regarding a decade ago, following ceding 90% of the company to the Clessidra private equity group. The company is now controlled by Auriel Investment SA.
“Don’t call me a designer. My talent is rather finding what makes a fabric, a dress, a woman special, thinking always of fashion as if it is dream of ready-to-wear, something ready to be worn,″ he wrote in his autobiography, “Just Me,” published in 2013.
He told The Associated Press in an interview that the woman he dressed was “a woman who believes a lot in herself. A woman who can show she is strong but at the same time soft and romantic.”
Cavalli is survived by model Sandra Nilsson, who has been his partner since 2014, and six children. He became the father of his sixth child a the age of 82.
