You Don’t Have To Eat Gluten To Enjoy These Bread Lamps

The 27 year old artist calls her line Pampshade which combines the Japanese word for bread (Pan) with lamp shade. She got the idea for Pampshade lights when she was working at a small bakery in Kyoto and noticed the way sunlight shone through a hollowed out French baguette. After trial and error with over 300 prototypes using the leftovers from the bakery each day, she discovered that hollowing out the bread and drying the shell in the oven gives the best results. She coats the baked shell in resin and inserts the light bulb.

The 15 Healthiest Alcoholic Drinks

Everyone tends to focus on the negative effects of drinking too much. In reality, the key part of that sentence is “too much.” Doing anything in excess is bad for you, and many studies have proven that drinking in moderation can have tremendous health benefits. Believe it or not, beer is in the running for the healthiest of all alcoholic beverages. It has antibiotic, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties. It has been proven that drinking up to 3 beers a day decreases your risk of heart disease by around 30% and it also lowers your risk of getting diseases like diabetes. Beer is also chock full of important vitamins and minerals that you need to survive.

Red Wine

Probably tied with beer as the healthiest of all alcoholic beverages is Red Wine. Much like beer, there is a lot of evidence that 1 or 2 glasses of red wine a day will put you at a much lower risk for heart disease. It’s also full of antioxidants and helps prevent a wide variety of cancers. Maybe the most surprising health benefit of red wine is that it’s really good for your teeth. It works to harden tooth enamel and prevent decay.

White Wine

White wine has many of the same health benefits as it’s red counterpart, but some to a slightly lower degree. It contains slightly less antioxidants than red, but it has similar effects in preventing heart disease.

Bocce Ball

The Bocce Ball is a mixed drink made from orange juice and amaretto. The vitamin C in the orange juice will help boost your immune system and keep you hydrated while drinking.

Michelada

Mojito

The Mojito is a combination of sugar syrup, fresh lime, rum, and garnished with mint leaves. Rum, when consumed in moderation, has the ability to lower your risk for heart disease and the fresh lime contains vitamin C and antioxidants. Try substituting honey for the syrup as an even healthier option.

Champagne

Being as Champagne is essentially carbonated white wine you get all the same health benefits as a standard glass of white wine, with one very interesting added bonus. Scientists have recently discovered a corelation between 1 or 2 glasses of champagne a day and a sizable increase in spacial memory. So not only is it good for your body, but it’s also good for your mind.

Sangria

Hot Toddy

Whiskey

It might sound surprising but there are actually several health benefits to drinking whiskey. For starters it’s low carb and has zero fat, and if that’s not enough to sell you it also has been proven that whiskey can help prevent certain cancers. It contains even more of the antioxidant ellagic acid than red wine and studies show that drinking 6 glasses of whiskey a week significantly lowers your risk of dementia.

Fizzy Lemonade
