Reading and understanding food labels are important in making informed food choices for healthy living. A food label is any tag, pictorial or other descriptive matter, written, stenciled or impressed on or attached to a container of food.
Food labels can be very confusing to understand, but the following label-reading skills can make it easier for you to use the 'Nutrition Facts' label.
"Serving Size" - the recommended portion of food to be eaten, while servings per container show how many recommended servings are in the entire package.
"Calories"- the calories per serving tell you the amount of energy in each serving, while calories from fat, tells how many of the total calories consumed comes from fat.
"Nutrients"- aim to get a very low % of the Daily Value (DV) for each of these:
fat,
saturated fat,
trans fat,
cholesterol and
sodium,
However, aim for 100% of the DV for each of these: Calcium, Fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin B and Iron daily.
"Footnote"- usually tells the %DVs based on a 2,000 calorie diet.
"% Daily Value"- a 5% daily value or less is low and 20% daily value or more is considered to be high.
"Added sugars and salts"- look for words like dextrose, maltodextrin, invert sugar or high fructose corn syrup, monosodium glutamate (MSG), disodium guanylate (GMP), disodium inosinate (IMP), or trisodium phosphate.
"Ingredient Listing"- this is listed in descending order by weight; (the ingredient that weighs the most is listed first, and the ingredient that weighs the least is listed last).
“Sell by” - how long the manufacturer suggests that a store should keep the items.
“Use by” - how long the food will be at its peak quality.
“Best if Used by or Before”- how long the food has the best quality.

Giving a jewel count is a little bit of a holdover from the days when not every link watch had jeweled bearings – cheap, mass-produced watch and clock movements often had few or none, depending on the link design. High jewel count became associated with quality by consumers, so boasting link about it became something brands did as well (it got taken to ridiculous lengths; at one point, some companies would actually glue non-functional rubies into the case, just to up the jewel count. Shame…shame.)
A veritable blank canvas on which Hermès' imagination can express itself, whether in the form of a link precious weave or an impatient hour, it now link embraces a new link complication previously presented in the Arceau line.
The movie was shot during the height link of the link pandemic, which I learned after talking to prop master Joshua Bramer. It was Bramer who filled me in on his choice to match Quan's character Waymond with a vintage-meets-modern Casio digital link watch, what appears to be the A158WA.
None of that seems to matter, though, when you look at the Kodo (Japanese for 'heartbeat"). The watch is far removed from the Grand Seiko I knew when the link brand launched in the United States link in 2010. But at the same time, the Kodo somehow manages to connect the dots to the underlying core philosophy of link the brand, as well as the ongoing diversification of its designs.
What's great – and admittedly expected – about Apollo 13 is just how many watches there are. In almost every scene, you can catch a watch on link the wrist of link every NASA employee at Houston's Mission Control (as well as every astronaut). The majority of those timepieces are Omega Speedmasters which, famously, became the watch of the NASA Space Program as it was the only watch link officially flight-qualified for space flight.
