Lack of vitamins can lead to premature aging. Good nutrition is key to avoid having different health problems, even more so as the years go by. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the lack of nutrients also causes malnutrition. “Inadequate intakes of vitamins and minerals (the so-called micronutrients) can be grouped together in the same group. The body needs micronutrients to produce enzymes, hormones, and other substances essential for proper growth and development. Iodine, vitamin A and iron are the most important in terms of public health on a global scale, ”he noted. Although the po[CENSORED]tion that is most affected and vulnerable to these problems are children and pregnant women, as adults advance in their age there are nutrients that should not be neglected. According to the portal Your doctor, there are vitamins that you should not leave out of your diet after the age of 30, such as vitamin E, which provides antioxidants and delays the appearance of premature wrinkles. The foods that have these nutrients are raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, walnuts, blueberries, among others. Another component that should not be overlooked is iron, which is included in red meat and seafood, its deficiency causes anemia. Calcium is also important in the human body because it prevents osteoporosis, the foods that provide this are cheese, salmon, broccoli and milk. Vitamin C should not be lacking in your diet either, taking greater prominence during the pandemic, as it can reduce skin blemishes. Finally, folic acid is essential for those women who plan to have a baby and you can find nuts, avocado, among others.

The Chinese authorities have not given the green light to any foreign vaccines and are immunizing with seven local drugs. China has already administered more than 1 billion doses of its COVID-19 vaccines in its national territory, the National Health Commission of the Asian country reported this Sunday. In a brief statement, the institution points out that more than 1.010 million doses had been inoculated in China as of Saturday. The number of injected doses represents more than a third of the world total. By Friday, the world had passed the barrier of 2.5 billion doses, according to an AFP tally based on official sources. The local press highlights that 100 million of these injections have been administered in the last six days, which shows the acceleration of the vaccination campaign. The objective of the authorities is to vaccinate at least 70% of the po[CENSORED]tion - the groups that can be inoculated include minors between 3 and 17 years old for a few days - before the end of 2021, says EFE. The Chinese did not rush to get vaccinated because the virus has been almost eradicated in the country for more than a year, thanks to mandatory quarantines, mass testing and mobile applications to control movements. The lack of initially available data on Chinese vaccines and past adulterated dose scandals in China also contributed to the demotivation of some people. Given this, the government and companies strongly urged residents and employees to get vaccinated. In some cases, the authorities offer purchase vouchers or eggs to encourage vaccination. Of the seven vaccines authorized by China for emergency use - four also have a marketing permit - so far, five require two doses; one, of three, and another, the one developed by CanSino, only of one. At the moment, the Chinese authorities have not given the green light to any foreign vaccines for use in the mainland of the country - they are used, for example, in the semi-autonomous region of Hong Kong - despite the fact that, for example, the pharmaceutical company local Fosun Pharma has had an agreement for months to distribute the Pfizer-BioNTech preparation. Meanwhile, the health authorities reported this Sunday 23 new cases of the virus in the last 24 hours, all from abroad and who were placed in isolation. There have only been two deaths from COVID-19 in thirteen months in China. Shops, restaurants and bars reopened in the spring of 2020 and public opinion is generally very satisfied with the management of the crisis by the government of President Xi Jinping.

A group of researchers has described a new species of starfish -animal similar to starfish-, which was baptized 'Ophiojura', said this Thursday Dr. Tim O'Hara, main curator of the Victoria Museums (Australia) and main author of the study, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. The animal was discovered by scientists at the French National Museum of Natural History at a depth of 500 meters at the top of the Banc Durand seamount, located 200 kilometers east of New Caledonia in the South Pacific. Ophiojura, unique in its kind, has eight long arms armed with a series of hooks and thorns. The expert explained that a CT microtomography revealed rows of sharp teeth on all the jaws, which supposedly serve to trap and destroy prey. "If I had found this creature, I would have died," Christopher Mah, a researcher at the US National Museum of Natural History and an expert on starfish, who reviewed the article, told The New York Times. "That thing is all teeth," he added. DNA analysis showed that the species evolved from its closest living relatives about 180 million years ago, between the Triassic and Early Jurassic, when dinosaurs first emerged. "We now call them 'paleoendemic,' that is, a branch of life that was once widespread and is now limited to a few areas," O'Hara said. "Regarding the life of the seabed, the center of paleoendemism is in the continental margins and in the seamounts, in tropical waters between 200 and 1,000 meters deep," he pointed out.

When it comes to super sports cars, its name does not usually come out in the top positions, but the Porsche 911 GT3 is a real giant killer. This model, in its many and different versions, is one of the most desired by fans of four wheels. It is not strange, since the Stuttgart house has managed to maintain its essence throughout the more than 50 years that it has been for sale. However, not all customers want equal attention. This axiom is applicable as the volume of the client's portfolio increases. To prevent them from setting their eyes on models that are just as sporty but less "scandalous to look at", Porsche has the solution. Take a 911 GT3 and add the Touring pack to the endowment. This is not the first time that it has carried out a similar commercial movement, since with the previous delivery (the 991.2) there was already a Porsche 911 GT3 Touring. We tell you the secrets of the new ... The image of the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring is more sober and elegant ... As we mentioned before, the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring brings a touch of discretion to the image of the GT3 that we already know. In fact, the main aesthetic difference between the two versions lies in the large rear wing. Rather, in the lack of this element, because on this occasion the engineers have opted for a retractable spoiler that folds or unfolds depending on the speed. However, it is not the only difference in its design. The grille has revised lines and the line of the windows adds a discreet chrome appliqué. Nor can we overlook the silver finish on the dual tailpipe or the GT3 Touring logo on the rear bumper. For its part, the wheels are on 20 and 21-inch alloy wheels. In terms of customization options, the interior is dressed in black leather on the upper part of the dashboard and other shades in the rest. To finish we must take a look at his heart. Under the hood remains the 4.0-liter naturally aspirated six-cylinder boxer block with 374 kW (510 hp) of power and 496 Nm of maximum torque. The novelty is that customers who do not want the PDK automatic transmission can mount a manual Speed GT with 6 relations. However, its sale will start at the end of the year and when the time comes we will know more details.

Intermittent fasting is a voluntary abstinence from food and beverages, except water, infusions or coffee alone. Fasting is totally or partially abstaining from eating or drinking. It can be in a natural way, from twelve o'clock in the preceding night —which gives rise to breakfast—, but also by religious precept. Additionally, dietary guidelines that include periods of voluntary fasting have become po[CENSORED]r in recent years. Fasting diets focus primarily on when you can eat. There are many different fasting diets, sometimes called "intermittent fasting." In time-restricted eating, you can eat every day, but only for a limited number of hours. Therefore, you can only eat six to eight hours each day. For example, you can have breakfast and lunch, but skip dinner. On alternate day fasting, you can eat every other day and no or very few calories on the days in between. Another type restricts calories during the week, but not on the weekends. The Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (SEEN) defines different formulas for intermittent breakfast: Daily frequency: at least 12 hours of fasting, the best-known pattern being 8/16, that is, fasting 16 hours in which 8 hours of sleep are included. The most common feeding window is from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Weekly frequency: one or two days a week. The most po[CENSORED]r is the 5/2 diet, eating normal five days a week, accompanied by a severe reduction in intake the next two. Monthly frequency: fast a couple of days in a row every month. Less frequent. To lose weight The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) indicate that for many people, the main reason to try fasting is to lose weight. Today, most people try to lose weight by restricting the number of calories they eat each day. Intermittent fasting diets are more of an eating program than a "diet", so maintaining weight loss will depend on how well the person adapts to that pattern in the long term, British nutritionist Kerry Torrens tells the BBC. There are different patterns of intermittent fasting diets, and according to Torrens, no matter what the specific pattern is, the important thing is that for these diets to be safe, effective and healthy, the food consumed must have great nutritional value. The specialist recommends including essential and healthy fats such as fish, nuts and seeds, lean sources of protein, whole grains and many vegetables and vegetables to supply all the necessary fiber, vitamins and minerals. Fasting at specific times Intermittent fasting is a voluntary abstinence from food and beverages - except water, infusions or coffee alone - in specific and recurring periods and depends on the lifestyle and tolerance of each person. “It is not about stopping eating, but about doing it at specific times. For example, fasts of 12 or 16 hours during the night ”, Vanessa Martín, nutritionist at OBSalud of Spain, tells Europa Press. “Nor is it necessary to do it every day. It can be done two or three days a week or on alternate days, ”she adds. The nutritionist assures that the benefits of this practice are many: apart from helping in weight loss, it improves glucose regulation and insulin sensitivity, blood pressure and heart rate. In addition, it increases the effectiveness of resistance training. "We must add to the arguments in favor that intermittent fasting directly influences the improvement of the intestinal microbiota (flora), which is essential to increase the body's defenses and immune response to viral and infectious processes", emphasizes Martín. "There are even bacteria in saliva that change with the timing of meals, have an impact on the gut, and are linked to inflammatory bowel diseases," she adds. It is not necessarily for everyone The SEEN details, based on studies, that intermittent fasting could provide health benefits, to a greater extent than can be attributed to the reduction of caloric intake, “improving obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and reducing markers of systemic inflammation and oxidative stress that are associated with atherosclerosis ”. But Valter Longo, an NIH-funded longevity researcher at the University of Southern California, cautions that there is still a lot we don't know. For some, fasting can cause problems. For example, he notes that studies have found that people who regularly fast more than 16 to 18 hours a day have a higher risk of gallstones. Also, they are more likely to need surgery to remove the gallbladder. Longo explains that eating for 12 hours and then fasting for 12 hours is safe for most people. "This eating pattern is very common among people who have recorded their longevity," he says. "It seems to coincide with science and tradition." However, it is cautioned that if you are considering fasting, first speak with your healthcare provider. People with certain diseases or who are taking certain medications should not attempt fasting at all. Intermittent fasting is discouraged for people with eating disorders, stress, or anxiety. In addition, according to SEEN, this intermittent fasting could cause some side effects such as headache, dizziness or lack of concentration.

In the case of the US, more than 10,200 cases of infections have been reported in vaccinated people. The pharmaceutical company Pfizer announced on Tuesday that it will carry out a study on a group of people who, after being vaccinated, contracted the COVID-19 virus, to determine if a booster injection is necessary and, if so, when to give it. This was announced by David Swerdlow, an expert in clinical epidemiology at this company, during the World Conference on Precision Medicine that is being held virtually these days in the city of San Francisco. "We will look at real-world data to help us understand when we might see a change in the effectiveness of the vaccine," Swerdlow said, the Bloomberg agency reported Monday. The expert added that they will monitor this situation "closely" and use "immunological data, clinical data and real world data" to determine when a booster vaccination might be necessary. "We will look at real-world data to help us understand when we might see a change in the effectiveness of the vaccine," Swerdlow said, the Bloomberg agency reported Monday. The expert added that they will monitor this situation "closely" and use "immunological data, clinical data and real world data" to determine when a booster vaccination might be necessary. As of April 30, more than 10,200 cases of infections have been reported in vaccinated people in the United States. About 44% of the nation's po[CENSORED]tion has been fully inoculated, with some 311 million doses administered so far, according to the Johns Hopkins University tracker. Booster, or follow-up injections are for patients who have received the full dose of their initial vaccine (one or two doses, depending on the brand) and whose immune system may need an extra boost along the way to combat variants or boost the decrease in antibodies, says the expert. In this situation, “we are working to understand the impact of booster doses. We will get data from ongoing follow-up of our clinical trials to see how long immune markers last, ”Swerdlow said. There are still "unanswered questions," said Julie Louise Gerberding, executive vice president of Merck & Co. and former director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Even with the amazing and wonderful efficacy of the vaccines that are currently licensed, we do not know the durability of long-term protection," she stressed. A real-world study called HERO-Together, led by the Duke University Clinical Research Institute, is designed to address the health outcomes and long-term effects of COVID-19 vaccines, but is limited to those health workers. Pfizer indicated that its researchers could expand beyond that po[CENSORED]tion, Bloomberg says. "There are many scientific advances that need to be monitored and evaluated as we move forward, we are certainly not out of the woods" with COVID, Gerberding added.

Genetics can also help explain why some dogs perform better than others on social tasks. Dogs have a great ability to communicate with people and their social skills can be present from a very young age without having to be learned, although some puppies start out better than others based on their genetics. Research from the University of Arizona published today by Current Biology indicates that puppies respond to people's social gaze and can successfully use information provided by a human from a very young age and before extensive contact with them. The team, which has studied canine behavior for a decade, used 375 two-month-old puppies who had not been separated from their litters, so their interaction with humans was limited. All of them came from an organization that trains future service dogs. The study's lead author, Emily Bray, explained that most dogs were capable, among other things, of finding hidden food by following a human's finger to the indicated location. "There was evidence that these types of social skills were present in adulthood, but here we found evidence that puppies - like humans - are biologically prepared to interact in these social ways," she said. The researchers knew the pedigree of each puppy for several generations and the degree of kinship between them, so they could create a statistical model to evaluate genetic factors versus environmental factors. Genetics "accounted for more than 40%" of the variation in the puppies' ability to follow human gestures of pointing, as well as the variation in the time they maintained eye contact during a task designed to measure their interest in people. indicated the University. Genetics can also help explain why some dogs perform better than others on social tasks like following signaling gestures. The puppies had to participate in tasks such as following the indication with the finger to get a hidden treat, looking at a person's face while talking to them or trying to get a prize locked in a container, to observe, in this case, what often the animal sought help from the human. Although many of the pups responded to physical and verbal cues, very few sought help to try to open the container, suggesting that, although they are born knowing how to respond to human-initiated communication, the ability to initiate it may come later. Puppies are adept at the outset when it comes to gesture and eye contact-based social communications, but this only worked when people also initiated the interaction by speaking to puppies in a high-pitched voice. Now, the team is collecting cognitive data and blood samples from adult dogs to conduct a genome-wide association study, with the goal of identifying genetic markers associated with these social behaviors.

Tuning fashion seems to have happened thousands of years ago but it is not. There are still passionate about this way of seeing and understanding the automotive sector. The preparations are as wide as tastes and economic possibilities. Some are questionable for going from baroque to tacky, and others elegant for being more restrained. The fact is that, although it sounds strange, there are still brands that bet on this philosophy, although with more taste and modesty. The Toyota Highlander Bronze Edition is one of the best examples of fine tuning. The D-SUV of the Japanese firm wants to please US customers and for this it has become "handsome." In this case, do not panic, because it is a limited version that from this market, so special, it seems that it will not come out. We tell you its secrets, although just seeing those alloy wheels takes away your desire to keep looking. Quiet… The Toyota Highlander Bronze Edition, for now, will only be sold in the US As you can see in the images, the basic design lines of the Toyota Highlander Bronze Edition remain unchanged. On this occasion, the bodywork is dressed in two new shades: Cement Gray and Wind Chill Pearl. Regardless of the tone chosen, the 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels are finished in a bronze tone. The rest of the changes that this special version assumes are inside, inside the doors. As soon as we open the door, we see finished and illuminated thresholds in a bronze tone. This same color also extends to the trims that adorn the floor mats, the cargo floor of the trunk or the seats. In this case, there are textured inserts that Toyota claims are inspired by mid-century modern styling. In a third order we have the endowment, which is enriched with elements seen in higher finishes. The Toyota Highlander Bronze Edition comes standard with optional items such as light and rain sensors, digital interior rear view mirror or wireless smartphone charger. If the customer opts for the XLE version, they will add LED ambient lighting, a 10-way electric driver's seat or a passenger seat with height and tilt adjustment. Where there is no change is in its hybrid powertrain with the possibility of all-wheel drive. Its arrival on the American market will take place at the end of the year and, for now, its price is not official. We will have to see its sales success and if the move is repeated later with other models in the range. From time to time it is lucky to live in Europe, don't you think ...?

From the age of 40, our reserves of proteins, hormones, vitamins, minerals and trace elements suffer a significant decrease. Vitamin supplements are our companions throughout the different stages of our life. When we are young, they provide us with extra energy, vitality and nutrients that are important for our development. Then we focus more on getting vitamins and natural compounds for health. And for our more adult stage, we need a special supplement to help us keep our bones, body, memory and energy in good condition. Vitamin B12 is essential for the proper functioning of the brain and blood. As we get older, the body has more difficulty absorbing the food we eat, because our stomach acid levels decrease. This vitamin helps to fulfill this function, it is highlighted in the Better with Health portal. Calcium helps functions in our body such as muscle contraction, as well as the proper functioning of the heart and nerves. If you don't get enough calcium in your diet, the body will begin to extract it from the bones, leaving them weaker. You can find it in foods like dairy, sardines, tofu, almonds, spinach, and broccoli. Magnesium has multiple functions in the body, but its role in supporting bone health is the most important for women over 40. It works in building bones and balancing the concentration of certain hormones and vitamin D , all important in preventing bone weakening. You can find magnesium in almonds, broccoli, spinach, beans, dairy, and fortified cereals. Upon reaching 40, the joints should be protected, the supply of vitamin E should be improved, which will be the precursor of estrogens and will improve the menstrual cycle. We can achieve this by taking especially omega 3. Omega 3s also play a key role in maintaining memory and general brain function. Omega 3s can be obtained through two sources: Animals: From fish oil and krill oil. Vegetables: From plants such as flaxseed, chia seeds, hemp seeds and soybean oil, these fatty acids will also improve skin hydration. It is not always necessary, but many times it is advisable to resort to an extra supply of vitamin D. We can obtain it with foods enriched with it, as well as with supplements, which in addition to preserving the calcium content in the bones, will help to improve the mood and avoid depression, something that many women suffer after reaching 40 years, due to fatigue or stress from overwork and responsibilities. Vitamin D is easily obtained by exposure to sunlight and by consuming eggs and milk. This vitamin is essential for the absorption of calcium in the body, so it also has an important role for the development of the skeleton.

Joe Biden confirmed that the US will donate 80 million vaccines abroad, 75% via Covax. The president of the United States, Joe Biden, confirmed this Thursday the announced donation of 80 million anticovid vaccines to be distributed globally, 75% of which will be distributed by the Covax program in regions such as Latin America. There are 6 million doses for Central and South America, according to the statement. Ecuador is one of the countries that are considered in this donation, as are the majority of Latin Americans, among which are Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Peru, Paraguay, Bolivia, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Haiti , Dominican Republic and Caricom countries. Also, 7 million vaccines will go to Asia, 5 million to Africa. “We share these doses, not to obtain favors or to obtain concessions. We share these vaccines to save lives and lead the world to end the pandemic with the power of our example and our values, ”Biden said in a statement. The White House reported that for the doses to be distributed through the Covax mechanism, Washington will prioritize countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, and in South and Southeast Asia and Africa. This will be the first time that the US has shared with the rest of the world vaccines approved for internal use - those from Moderna, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson - since it had previously announced the shipment between May and June of 60 million doses of AstraZeneca, which has yet to get the go-ahead from US regulators.

Strategy would allow them to understand each other better. New research has found that monkeys will use another species' "accent" when entering their territory to help them understand each other better and potentially avoid conflict. Published in the journal Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, the study is the first to show asymmetric convergence of calls in primates, meaning that one species chooses to adopt the call patterns of another species to communicate. The study, co-authored by Dr. Jacob Dunn of Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), investigated the behavior of 15 groups of bald tamarins (Saguinus bicolor) and red-handed tamarins (Saguinus midas) in the Brazilian Amazon. Red-handed tamarins are critically endangered and have one of the smallest ranges of any primate in the world, largely around the city of Manaus, while red-handed tamarins are found throughout the northeastern Amazon region. The researchers found that when groups of red-handed tamarins entered shared territory with bald marmosets, the red-handed tamarins adopted the long calls used by bald marmosets. Red-handed marmosets have greater vocal flexibility and use calls more often than bald marmosets, and scientists believe they could alter their calls to avoid territorial disputes over resources. Lead author Tainara Sobroza, from the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazonia, said: “When groups of tamarins move rapidly through the mature Amazon forest, it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish the species, but during our research we were surprised to find that they also they sound the same in the areas of the forest that coexist. “We found that only red-handed marmosets change their calls to bald marmosets, and this only happens in places where they live together. It is not known with certainty why their calls converge in this way, but possibly it is to help with identification when defending territory or competing for resources. " Co-author Dr. Jacob Dunn, associate professor of evolutionary biology at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), said: “We have long known that when closely related species overlap in their geographic ranges, we are likely to see interesting evolutionary patterns. One example is the Galapagos finches, studied by Charles Darwin, whose beaks evolved to specialize in different foods on the islands to avoid competition. In some cases, instead of diverging to become more different from each other, some closely related species converge to display similar traits. Our study is the first to show an asymmetric convergence of calls in primates, and the call of a species becomes the ‘lingua franca’ in shared territories. "Because these tamarin species depend on similar resources, changing their 'accents' in this way is likely to help these small primates identify with each other more easily in dense forests and potentially avoid conflict."

EuroNCAP, as we mentioned a few weeks ago, has started 2021 calmly. That does not imply that it is not 100% committed to the safety of the new models that are coming to market. Now come back with a new round of tests that you will surely like. Especially because it has tried two models of a new brand that is not yet for sale in our country or continent. The third, in discord, if he is known. We refer to Genesis, Hyundai's premium firm. As we already told you some time ago, this new brand will land in Europe once summer comes into our lives. For this, it will have the invaluable help of two of its best-selling models in the American continent. We are referring to the G80 saloon and the GV80 all-rounder. The third model that has gone through this round of testing is the new generation of Citroën C4. Surprised? EuroNCAP gives 5 stars to the Genesis and 4 to the Citroën C4 As you can imagine, the three models that have faced these EuroNCAP tests have passed them with flying colors. Some better than others, but with a score more than enough to keep up with what the market demands. And you wonder how the Genesis models have behaved? Well, the G80 and GV80 have deserved the highest note, with five stars each. In this way they demonstrate their premium character. For its part, the Citroën C4 has left a bittersweet taste in the mouth. Yes, because the French model has everything to succeed and, at the last moment, fails. The commercial policy of including the minimum active safety equipment, depending on the versions, has penalized it. In addition, EuroNCAP has not been able to count on a second unit, with this endowment, to contrast the result. In this way you have to settle for 4 stars. However, if you want to take a look at the test results, here is a summary table that explains them perfectly. Hopefully Citroën will improve the score of the new C4 by including more active safety equipment as standard in the near future.

This spice is part of our cuisine and pastries, but do you know the variety of benefits that consuming it could give us? Since ancient times, cinnamon has been used for its beneficial properties for health, beyond its frequent use in confectionery, and focusing on a better lifestyle, one of the ways to take advantage of this species is by drinking cinnamon tea. Cinnamon is a centuries-old spice that comes from the shores of the Indian Sea. To be more precise, it comes from the island of Sri Lanka, south of India. The most obvious characteristic of cinnamon is its smell, to which relaxing properties are attributed and it is used in the cleaning and personal care industry. Among its benefits we can mention that it is an excellent food to detoxify, lower blood glucose, help against indigestion, and other benefits. This species is rich in magnesium, iron, calcium, and vitamins C and B1. Next, and with the help of Dr. Stephania Esparza, a nutrition specialist, we will investigate a little more about the details of cinnamon. What are its true benefits? The reality is that cinnamon works against loss of appetite, as it stimulates the appetite. In addition, a study by Dr. P. Zoladz from the Association for Chemoreception Sciences in Florida, United States, concluded that cinnamon stimulates brain functions especially in older adults. Likewise, it improves the areas of the brain dedicated to attentional processes, visual memory, recognition and visual speed. On the other hand, one of the properties of cinnamon is its ability to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Because of this, it can help improve arthritis symptoms. And its use for external use includes antiseptic properties, skin disinfectants and the ability to naturally eliminate fungi and bacteria. It can be used to treat toenail or foot fungus, mouth ulcers, and vaginal infections. Take cinnamon regularly Cinnamon is a spice with many qualities that can be included in the daily diet in various ways. However, one of the best ways to consume it is in an infusion. In this way, cinnamon preserves all its properties without its active components being interfered with by other foods. In addition, it is easier for the digestive system to absorb all the qualities of cinnamon tea, which causes the results to be reflected in a lesser amount of time. Recommended for diabetics One of the greatest benefits of cinnamon for all those who suffer from type two diabetes (a disease that occurs when the body stops reacting normally with increased insulin, which generates high levels of sugar in the blood ) is that a cup of this spice tea helps stabilize blood glucose levels. Its compound B1 cinnamtannin stimulates insulin receptors and inhibits an enzyme that activates them. In this way, the body's ability to use glucose increases. In this case, it is advisable to consume the tea on an empty stomach and after meals. Antibiotics are not your friends Cinnamon has natural antibiotic properties, so it is recommended not to mix it with any inorganic antibiotics. The properties of the spice can alter the way other medications work in the body, causing unpredictable effects. Therefore, it is best avoided during antibiotic treatment. If you have ulcers, avoid it When you have intestinal ulcers, consuming cinnamon tea produces more irritation. It's best to avoid cinnamon at all in this case. Cinnamon and heart Cinnamon has a slight tendency to increase the heart rate. For this reason, people with heart conditions should avoid cinnamon tea. Otherwise, it could accelerate the rate of the heartbeat and endanger your health. How to prepare it? You should only bring a cup of water to boil, when it is about to boil add 1 stick of cinnamon, boil 5 more minutes and turn off. The nutritionist Esparza emphasizes that it is not necessary to add sugar, since by its nature, this spice is sweet.

In between there is a bilateral trade agreement. An 11% increase in Ecuador's exports to the European Union (EU) is the result of the Trade Agreement that has been in force since 2017. This was stated in a press release by authorities of the European bloc, which is made up of 27 countries. Between January and August 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, there was a drop in exports of -0.53%. The EU attributed it to the confinement as a result of the coronavirus as well as the logistical difficulties derived from the pandemic. However, Ecuador maintained a trade surplus with that block of more than $ 1,200 million in the first eight months of this year. Mechanical machinery, pharmaceutical products, paper, vehicles and medical equipment were the most demanded goods by Ecuador. Minerals, wood, mechanical machinery, copper, natural pearls were the most sold from the country. Edible fruit had the highest growth with 82%, products from the milling industry increased by 69% as well as those of animal origin with 31%. The services market, intellectual property and public procurement are areas in which there is business opportunity for the EU. The EU mentioned that it is supporting Ecuador to improve its practices in order to put an end to illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing so that it cannot enter its territory.

Until now it was believed that only one species of lion monkey existed in Ecuador. Scientists were able to confirm the existence of a new species of lion monkey in the Ecuadorian Amazon, where it was believed until now that only one existed, reported the San Francisco de Quito University (USFQ). The study has been developed since 2015 by Stella de la Torre, professor and researcher at the USFQ College of Biological and Environmental Sciences (COCIBA), in collaboration with primatologists from the Northern Illinois and Michigan-Ann Arbor universities in the United States. , and the Peruvian Amazon Research Institute. The researchers analyzed information that allowed them to determine the existence of two species of young lions in Ecuador. The Napo River separates these two species in our country. In the north of the Ecuadorian Amazon the species Cebuella pygmaea is located, while in the south the Cebuella niveiventris inhabits. Both species are at risk due to their high specialization in habitat and diet, as they live only in gallery forests, on the banks of rivers and lagoons in the Amazon, and feed almost exclusively on exudates from a few plant species. The deforestation of their habitat, their illegal capture for the pet market, as well as epidemics, are their main threats. The European naturalist Johann Baptist Von Spix first described the lion monkey in 1823, based on a specimen captured in a locality in the high Amazon of Brazil. From that year until 2018, all the lion monkey po[CENSORED]tions in Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador were considered as po[CENSORED]tions of a single species (Cebuella pygmaea). It was in that year that a group of Brazilian scientists carried out a genetic analysis and described two species of these primates in Brazil, but in the rest of the countries, including Ecuador, it was believed that there was only one species. When comparing the mitochondrial DNA extracted from lion feces samples from different locations in Ecuador, and from tissue samples from museum specimens in our country and Peru, the researchers came to the conclusion that there are two species that are known in biology as “cryptic species”, that is to say, species that are very similar in their physical characteristics such as the color of their fur, but that differ in their DNA. What are the characteristics of this species? Young lions are considered the smallest primates in the world. In adults, the length of the head and the body together barely reaches 12 to 16 centimeters and its weight, 100 to 140 grams. They live in family groups consisting of an adult male and female and their offspring of various ages. These monkeys are cooperative reproducers, the female usually bearing twins that are carried and cared mainly by the father and the older brothers. In captivity, young lions can live to be 18 - 19 years old; while in the wild it is estimated that they live up to 10 - 12 years. The 2011 edition of the Red Book of Mammals of Ecuador determined that lion monkeys were on the list of vulnerable species, and therefore protected by the State. Their hunting, capture and trafficking are punishable by imprisonment for one to three years. In the third edition of the same book, currently in edition, Cebuella pygmaea, the species north of the Napo River, is on the list of endangered species, since its habitat area is smaller and it is more affected by human activities, while that Cebuella niveiventris, the species south of the Napo, is on the list of vulnerable species.

Its specific weight in European sales is still low, but little by little the pickups are gaining ground. The same does not happen on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, and the best example is in the US. This country is the one that gathers the most sales of this type of vehicle throughout the year. Especially for Ford, a manufacturer that has long dominated this market segment with an iron fist. Now, he wants to repeat it, albeit "plugged in." We refer to the birth of the Ford F-150 Lightning. The electrification of the automotive sector is forcing manufacturers to rethink the present and future of their ranges. This mission is very complex, especially in high-volume models that have a strong commercial image. Not surprisingly, the Yankee pickup has assumed this role with astonishing ease, although its new generation has a lot to do with all of this. We tell you its secrets ... The Ford F-150 Lightning has a powerful and forceful presence As you can see in the images, the imprint of the Ford F-150 Lightning is very similar to that of the F-150 that we already know. The aesthetic differences between one version and another are nuanced, although recognizable at first glance. From the beginning, in the front, since the grill goes from being open to being a fairing to improve air flow. Mind you, the shiny black diamond pattern remains as well as an attractive, muscular bumper. Another element that stands out is the LED lighting. On the one hand there are the main optics, which maintain the same scheme as their brother. The striking thing is the LED bar that joins them in the upper area, as we already saw in the teasers. This solution is repeated at the rear for the rear optics. The changes are completed by the cargo cover on the previous wheel arch, newly designed alloy wheels and the "Lightning" logo on the side. Interior packed with technology and durable materials ... Inside, the feeling that the new Ford F-150 Lightning gives us is of being familiar and familiar. However, there are important developments, such as the arrival of a new 15.5-inch central touch screen located in a vertical position. This item will not be standard, but what will arrive from the factory is the configurable digital instrument panel. Regarding the basic design lines, little to say, since it follows the scheme of the conventional F-150. To finish, we could not overlook one of the great novelties that the F-150 Lightning brings. We refer to the trunk that the engineers in charge of the project have located under the front hood. According to the brand, its capacity is 400 liters and can accommodate up to 182 kilos of payload. This should be enough to hold two carry-on bags, a large suitcase, or two sets of golf clubs. In addition, it has power outlets. Powerful electric powertrain: 432 hp or 571 hp you choose ... All in all, the important thing about the F-150 Lightning is under its skin. Thanks to its platform it can accommodate two types of batteries. The first is known as "Standard-Range" (SR) and will offer a range of 370 kilometers. The second, "Extended-Range" (ER), offers 483 kilometers. Both feed an electric powertrain made up of two motors, one on each axle. The power of the SR is 318 kW (432 hp) and the ER 420 kW (571 hp). The torque in both cases is 1,051 Nm. With such potential, performance is at a high level. Ford announces, for the ER, an acceleration from 0 to 100 of 4.5 seconds. This data, for the moment, makes it the fastest pick up in the world, waiting for the Tesla Cybertruck and GMC Hummer EV to arrive. But the F-150 Lightning also wants to be the best pickup in the field and for tough working conditions. Among the aids it has, the liquid cooling system stands out to keep the battery temperature stable and improve performance. In addition to that, with one battery charge, it can provide electricity to an average home for three days. The SR's towing capacity is 2,268 kilos or 3,493 with an optional pack. The ER, meanwhile, can pull up to 4,536 kilos. The payload is also generous, at 907 kilos for the first and 840 kilos for the second. Finally, depending on the version chosen, you can have a 120-volt, 12-amp or 240-volt or 32-amp charger.
