When I discovered rich intense flavors and amplified nutrient profiles by preparing fresh food in unglazed clay cookware, I cre- ated the VitaClay pot. I wanted to bring the superior results of clay cooking into my kitchen for fast and easy family meals. GN: Why is soup broth made in VitaClay so tasty, with more collagen? ML: High-fire unglazed VitaClay uses its low thermal conductivity and micro-porous properties to hold the heat even and consis- tent to slow simmer foods. Because of clay's steady low heat conductivity, it al- lows it to extract more nutrients, minerals and collagens from bone broth recipes. Heated clay creates a delicate flavor and more gel than metal or glazed cookware. Bone broth is slightly acidic due to the ad- dition of vinegar to help draw out nutrients into the broth. This acidic pH contributes to leaching of heavy metals, most notably nickel and chromium from cookware made with stainless steel. GN: What is a new nourishing tradition for VitaClay? ML: I am very excited about making large batch bone broth in our newly released Smart Organic Stock Pot and Multi-Crocks. The new stock pot features Steam, Fast, Slow Cooking, Porridge with Delay option, and low-temperature Yogurt. Unlike con- ventional crock pots, the beauty of this clay stock pot is that you get an option to cook fast or slow. You've got dinner options! Be- cause of technological breakthroughs, the VitaClay Multi-stock Pot is fully pro- grammed for Steam/Fast cooking from a quick meal in 30 minutes to steam or stew, Slow cooking for stock, bone broth or soups, or roast up to 10 hours. Most cook- ing takes less than two hours with an option to simmer bone broth for longer. We further developed a cooking chart and updated recipe book and a manual on the web. A new series of cooking with VitaClay videos are coming out each week. Any healthy cook really does become a culinary genius, because all it takes is good quality ingredi- ents and pushing a button.

But Olive Your Heart ® may be the absolute best heart smart choice, combining the cardiovascular benefits of olive oil and marine-sourced omega-3s. High-quality extra virgin olive oil natu- rally contains important antioxidants, called polyphenols. Each serving of Olive Your Heart also offers a healthy dose of the impor- tant omega-3s EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). The AHA suggests we eat at least two 3.5-ounce serv- ings of oily fish per week to receive the rec- ommended amount of omega-3s. Since most of us don't get this amount from diet alone, Olive Your Heart can be a great option. Carlson Olive Your Heart also naturally pro- vides the omega-9 oleic acid, a staple of the Mediterranean diet. Omega-9s promote cardio- vascular health and optimal wellness. When our body has enough omega-3s and omega-6s, it can produce omega-9s. If our levels are low, we must get omega-9s from our diet. For a delicious, premium olive oil that provides polyphenols and sneaks in the health benefits of omega-3s and omega-9s, choose Olive Your Heart.
