Jokari®, founded in 1974, was the exclusive marketer of a patented paddle ball game called Jokari. Jokari was a simple toy constructed of a rubber ball attached by a long elastic band to a wooden paddle. The toy quickly gained worldwide popularity over the traditional string paddle ball games and a successful company was born.
Eager to capitalize on the obvious appeal of unique items, other patented products quickly emerged including the Fizz-Keeper®, a product still sold today, which was designed to preserve opened bottles of soft drinks for weeks by pumping air into the bottle thereby inhibiting carbonation to escape. Through this type of innovation, Jokari grew itself into a popular kitchen gadget, home storage and organization company with an entire line of exclusive products, most with patents.

Why is “portion control” so important, and what is a “portion” anyway? The size of a “normal portion” has been steadily increasing in the United States. The food industry wants us to eat bigger amounts so that they can sell us more food. If you compare the size of plates and the amount that was put on them at mealtimes in the 1950s to what we are served now, it is amazing to see the changes.
One of the keys to successful management of your weight and of your diabetes is to be conscious of how much you are eating from day to day. Dietitians can be very helpful in coaching you on how to do this. Some of them use a technique called the “Idaho Plate Method.”
Another simple approach is to use your own hands as a guide. A healthy portion of meat for you to eat at a meal is a piece that is the size of the palm of your hand. A medium potato or apple is about the size of your closed fist. Obviously bigger people tend to have bigger hands and fists, but since they probably need bigger portions, then this simple approach usually helps quite a bit.
Healthy Hints:
Once you have your portion do not go back for seconds
Eating a variety of vegetable can help reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and help protect against cancers
Use smaller dishes when eating meals at home
Sensible portions help maintain a healthy weight
