  1. Spirulina came to save the low protein intake of vegetarian and vegan diets. Spirulina is a seaweed made up of cyanobacteria and belongs to the select group of Arthrospira. Likewise, it is commonly attached to weight loss diets. We can also say that seaweed is a sensation in the fitness world; thanks to the fact that it is used as a protein. Its benefits are many and we have already talked about them, because it must be clear that new things are discovered every day around algae. In addition, everything that nature gives us deserves attention and dissemination. Clearly, the algae is not free of contraindications, but do not worry that they are special conditions and also its prohibition will depend on the abuse in the consumption of Arthrospira. We previously said that it is present in protein shakes, but if there is a market where spirulina always has customers, it is in vegetarian and vegan diets. In both cases, food substitutes for everything that comes from animals is essential and today we will talk to you about the presence of spirulina in this lifestyle. Benefits of a vegan or vegetarian diet Protein Spirulina came to save the low protein intake of vegetarian and vegan diets. Being an element of plant origin, its contribution will not necessarily be powerful, since proteins of this type take a long time to be absorbed. Also, its percentage is very low and does not always cover nutritional requirements. However, despite lacking certain essential amino acids, it is useful to supplement the diet. Spirulina and antioxidants Antioxidants are essential to prevent premature aging, as well as the oxidation of free radicals, which are responsible for cognitive degeneration. Similarly, it is related to the prevention of diseases such as Alzheimer's, senile dementia and the death of neurons. Regarding spirulina, it provides a complex amount of antioxidants, including vitamin C. Generally the capsules of the alga are those destined to such need; although they are also found in protein shakes. Provides vitamins of group B There is nothing that this product cannot provide the body, and more so when it comes to the B vitamins. These are important for the functioning of the organism, since they are seen as "the fuel of a great machinery". Spirulina is also part of the vegan or vegetarian diet for the reasons already explained; since this nutritional style lacks group B. Watch out for the B12 In the previous item we talked a little about how spirulina provided vegans and vegetarians with all kinds of nutrients. We also mention that it contains a powerful group of B vitamins, and of course this includes vitamin B12. The latter is provided entirely by proteins, but surprisingly spirulina also contains this compound. However, the vitamin B12 from algae is not assimilable by the human body and therefore is not useful for vegans and vegetarians. Nutritional supplements and drinks are the ones that are optimal for those who do not eat animal meat in this case. More nutrients Spirulina is also a source of calories, minerals such as iron, calcium, magnesium and manganese. Additionally it nourishes with potassium, phosphorus and sodium. Is spirulina suitable for a vegetarian diet? Any supplement or product that you want to incorporate into your diet must be accepted by your trusted nutritionist. It is also a good idea to take a look at your current health status, that is, have regular blood tests. Now, studies show that spirulina in most cases is not bad for your health and that it almost never causes side effects. It is worth remembering that the seaweed is contraindicated for pregnant or breastfeeding women. It is also not recommended for use in patients with autoimmune diseases or those with liver conditions.

  2. A group of researchers has published a study on a more powerful immune response in people who have been infected by the coronavirus and then have overcome the disease in its severe form, making a possible re-exposure complicated. The team, led by Christian H. Ottensmeier, of the La Jolla Institute of Immunology, took samples from 39 Covid patients of different severity levels and 10 other healthy subjects, to compare the characteristics of the lymphocytes generated with the coronavirus against those of syncytial viruses and influenza. "The findings suggest that patients with severe disease mount a more effective CD8 T cell response, which may lead to greater protection against re-exposure to the virus," they indicate in this study, published in Science. The researchers observed that the CD8 T cells of individuals who had mild covid were impaired, unlike those who had suffered severe forms. The results of this study on the ability of CD8 T cells against the virus provide information about this barrier of the immune system, which could contain SARS-CoV-2, research is beginning to find out more data.

  3. Hello, thanks for your suggestion for the server, but previously the rounds were too long and the best decision that was thought for the server is to leave it in the time of 3:10 minutes and therefore we are not willing to make any more changes.
  4. Mercedes started production of its flagship, the Mercedes S-Class, a few months ago. It is for many the best car on the planet and the most advanced, but there can always be problems. In fact, it was just called for overhaul for a problem in the steering system. The purpose of the recall is to remedy a defect in one of the steering components, specifically in the tie rods. Their adjustment may be incorrect, which could lead to serious consequences. In other words, it could cause an accident due to loss of control in the direction. The star brand produces this luxurious model at Factory 56 in Sindelfingen. Daimler has invested no less than 730 million euros in this factory to prepare the manufacture of the model in question, having recently highlighted the new standards for the construction of automobiles. Now, some 1,400 units already delivered of the Mercedes S-Class for everyone will have to go to the technical service to solve this problem. Customers must make an appointment, although logically it will be the brand itself that will take care of all expenses. It would be more ... Mercedes-Benz has announced that it will check the inner tie rods as a precaution and replace them if necessary. There is no shortage of apologies from the brand: "We apologize for this additional visit to the workshop and we hope you understand." Something that we still do not know is if this recall affects all mechanical versions. We recall that the S-Class, in Spain, starts at 108,150 euros for the short body, starting its price at 109,975 for the extended wheelbase. At the moment, the power ranges from 286 hp for the S-Class 350 d diesel, to 435 hp for the S 500 petrol. More powerful engines are expected later on, as well as the even more luxurious and special variant signed by Maybach.

  5. With the month of January nearing the end and with Luka Modric renewed, the continuity of Sergio Ramos and Lucas Vázquez remains unresolved. Without yet reaching a point of no return, the renewals of the captain and the man for everything of Zinedine Zidane are not walking the right path. Each defends his position. The economic situation caused by Covid 19 does not help the least either. The Real Madrid leaders are still immersed in their battle to balance the numbers, adjust the balance and prevent the club's accounts from showing any type of deficit at the end of this season. What is happening in Barcelona and its millionaire losses, is something that from the Madrid entity they are clear that it will not happen. Florentino Perez assumed it for a long time, avoiding the red numbers by putting his head to the heart in some decisions, a circumstance that they are taking to the letter with the renewals of the players who end their contract on June 30. The proposals launched from the club to both Sergio Ramos and Lucas Vázquez have been rejected by the players and from that moment on there has been no movement in any sense and everything is awaiting events. There is no optimism, but so far no one has broken the deck or announced his resignation. Players are entitled to listen to offers and wait for the arrival of a better proposal than the one presented by Real Madrid. A year and a half ago, a group of the so-called greats of Europe, reached a non-aggression pact regarding the signings of players from these teams. Bayern, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Barcelona, PSG, Juventus and some others joined an initiative that aims to prevent the market from skyrocketing and, above all, that they neither compete nor hit each other from behind. Communication between these clubs is fluid. They are rivals, but they maintain a common strategy. And more in times of crisis, although the initiative predates the crisis. Last summer the pact with Leo Messi was already respected and at the moment in which Barcelona refused to negotiate, City and PSG gave up any approach to the player. Something similar has happened with Alaba and all the movements around the Austrian began at the moment in which Bayern announced that it was ending the negotiation for the renewal of his contract, at which time several teams, including Real Madrid, they began to woo the defender. In recent weeks, several teams have called the white leaders to let them know that for the moment there has been no rapprochement with the players, at least officially.

  6. One of the most repeated phrases by our grandmothers has always been that of: Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar. Despite the fact that if it were up to our grandmothers, we would be eating 24 hours a day, they always emphasized the first meal of the day. Accustomed to a thousand morning chores, grandmothers have always seen breakfast as the fundamental pillar of any diet. Given that physical and mental wear and tear during the day tends to be strenuous, for them breakfast is the perfect occasion to obtain all the energy that we are going to get later. Like all phrases repeated ad nauseam, the real basis of its background is completely wrong (forgive us grandmothers). The constant repetition by our grandmothers of this phrase comes from the belief that calories and energy are necessary to last all day and that they are better eliminated throughout the day due to activity. According to this belief, those ingested at lunch and dinner accumulate at the last minute and are not burned. However, nutrition depends on many factors, such as hours of sleep, work, physical activity and even work hours. A person who works seated for most of the day does not need as much food first thing in the morning, while a person who exercises in the afternoon after leaving work or going to the gym at the last minute needs to regain strength at a snack or dinner. Food and schedules must be adapted to the lifestyle of each one and based on that, prepare a healthy and balanced menu. Breakfast is not the most important meal of the day, it is one more meal in which you have to include healthy foods and avoid bad practices, but it is true that if you have a well-balanced meal with proteins, healthy fats and fiber, you you're ready for a day full of energy and productivity. A poor breakfast choice can affect energy levels and eating habits for the rest of the day. To break myths and eat a diet with which not only to maintain the line, but with which to carry out healthy habits, we have spoken with Leandro Palomo, Head of Health and Safety at thyssenkrupp Home Solutions, who give us a brief review of what that should not be done in the first meal of the day. These are the top 10 breakfast mistakes that are false myths of healthy eating. "Enjoying a good breakfast is essential to start the day well, although it is not the most important meal, all of them are. But it is true that it is the one that helps us start the day with courage, strength and energy", he assures us Leandro Palomo. Skipping breakfast altogether Many people do not feel hungry when they wake up or are short on time and turn to drunk coffee. This is a very bad idea, because if you want to keep your hunger hormones in check and prepare yourself for a good mood, it is worth eating something to lay the foundation for a good day of food. "You have to try at least to take a small snack, such as a handful of walnuts, almonds or dried fruits, foods that contain a lot of proteins and fats in a small bite and that will fill you longer than you think", explains Leandro Palomo. Not spending enough time You don't always have time to sit for 30 minutes or more and enjoy a slow breakfast. But neither should you eat your food without thinking. "Eating in a hurry does not allow the body to catch up with the mind. You usually eat more when you are in a hurry because the satiety signals are not reached, and it seems that you are hungry, so you are more likely to continue eating after feeling full, "says the Thyssenkrupp Home Solutions expert. Relying on caffeine for energy Many believe that they are not fully awake until they have the first coffee of the day and that is why they resort to quick drunk coffee. "Coffee on an empty stomach can be too acidic for the body, the first sip should be taken after having eaten something", warns Leandro Palomo. Starting a day with a cup of caffeine can improve focus, endurance, and performance; however, excess sugar, cream or milk in the coffee will increase the number of calories, and the added sugars will cause a subsequent loss of energy. "A cup of coffee is a good energy boost but it must be taken into account that coffee is a stimulant and the body, when it gets used to it, demands more and more, so there are other options to have energy such as sleeping well, doing exercise and stay hydrated ", explains the expert. Not adding healthy fats Many breakfast foods are full of carbohydrates, such as industrial buns, sugary cereals, or cookies. These are low fiber foods that will trigger a spike in blood sugar and hunger in no time. Eating just low-fat yogurt or a small piece of toast may seem like healthy options, but they're not really. Fats are essential for a nutritious diet as they provide many health benefits; a meal without enough fat may leave you hungry. Incorporating healthy fats into your breakfast can help you stay energized longer. For example, avocado and olive oil are foods with healthy fats, accompanied by a slice of whole wheat bread can be the perfect breakfast or a low-fat yogurt accompanied by fruit, cereals or nuts to fill up. Choosing sweet foods for breakfast Lunches are rarely sweet, so why should breakfast foods be so sugary? Not only do we associate sweet flavors with our morning meal, but traditional breakfast foods like cereal and yogurt often hide tons of added sugar as well. "Avoid breakfast foods with added sugar and try to make traditional cereals salty. Oatmeal, for example, is delicious with a few drops of olive oil, Parmesan cheese, sea salt, and black pepper, or, if desired. wants to be more ingenious, you can mix avocado with Greek yogurt or cover it with cucumbers or tomato ", recommends Leandro Palomo. Eat only carbohydrates Carbohydrates are an important and healthy source of energy, but they are not the only thing the body needs to function at its best. Protein and fat take longer to burn out as fuel and keep you full longer. Having a good balance of protein, fat, and carbohydrates can keep your blood sugar from spiking. A piece of fruit is nutritious and can be great to eat with breakfast, but make sure you eat something else or risk being hungry soon after. And you have to be careful with cereals, another of the typical components of many breakfasts, cereal can be a surprising sugar bomb. Depending on the brand, more than half of each bowl could be made from sugar, and it's often paired with little protein. "Most people who eat cereals take twice as much as they should, a few cereals coupled with yogurt, milk or fruit is recommended. A good breakfast should be a mixture of protein and foods rich in fiber, for example, eggs with vegetables, Greek yogurt with fruits, nuts and seeds, a perfect combination to keep blood sugar stable and a full stomach ", explains the expert. Relying on eggs for protein Eggs, especially scrambled ones, are definitely an option in many breakfasts, but you don't have to eat them so much that they become a total drag. Many people avoid calories when they omit the yolks, but that is also a mistake, the yolk of the egg is where most of the nutrients are found: folic acid, vitamin D, iron ... You have to take the whole egg, but as everything in moderation, it is better to vary and each day take something different. Not drinking enough water in the morning Although most breakfasts include coffee, it is important to give your body the fluid it needs after a long, dry night. One of the first things to do every morning is to drink a glass of water, ideally with a little lemon. Sometimes thirst tricks us into thinking we are hungry, but if you stay hydrated from the beginning, it will be less likely to happen. Whether or not to drink juices for breakfast is a subject in permanent discussion. Although they are a comprehensive way to speed up your consumption of fruits and vegetables, they lack fiber, ultimately increasing hunger and drowsiness shortly after consumption. If the morning routine includes juices, they must be combined with an alternative that contains protein and fiber. Always drink skim milk Fat-free milk may seem like a virtuous option, but what is saved in calories is lost when the body cannot absorb its nutrients. The vitamins that milk is fortified with are fat soluble, so it is important to have some fat for those nutrients. Soy, almond, and coconut milk can be a healthy alternative to dairy milk, if versions with no added sugar are used. Not indulging in a craving A crucial part of a healthy diet is enjoyment, one does not eat for nutrition exclusively, good health implies enjoyment, experience and happiness. There are many foods that are not the best option for breakfast if you eat to provide energy and stay in shape, but if the purpose is to satisfy a craving or to eat to enjoy and be happy, cravings are actually a good option. You should not abuse unhealthy foods, but everything in its proper measure, the most important thing for good nutrition is balance and variety.

  7. The mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, assured this Tuesday that the city has practically run out of vaccines against the coronavirus, has suspended its plans to open stadiums during the immunization campaign and does not recommend making plans with groups of people until the summer . De Blasio pointed out at a press conference that the city only has 7,700 doses of vaccines against covid-19 and asked the federal authorities to use the doses reserved for the second dose, even at the risk that those vaccinated would not receive in the expected time. the second injection required. "We are stuck, we cannot carry out vaccinations because we do not have enough vaccines," explained the mayor of New York, who has been forced to cancel appointments to vaccinate and indefinitely suspend plans to enable the Yankees stadiums and Citi Field for a massive vaccination campaign, as there are no injections. De Blasio said he has 100,000 reserved doses that are not being used and has asked federal authorities and President Joe Biden's new administration for permission to release them. The city council expects to receive some 107,000 doses of covid-19 vaccines between this Tuesday and Wednesday and to reschedule postponed vaccination appointments. "Let's use what we have right now, because we are already seeing efforts to improve production," De Blasio said. "We are committed to ensuring that everyone receives their second dose, but we are experiencing shortages (...) We do not live in a perfect world, we have total shortages," said the councilor, who recalled that the second dose can be delayed without being lose effectiveness when immunizing against coronavirus. De Blasio said that given the lack of progress in the vaccination campaign "he would not plan any wedding this spring" and we will have to wait until summer to see the effects of immunization on the evolution of the pandemic. The administration of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, both authorized for the moment, is being slower than expected, both due to poor coordination between the federal government and states and due to difficulties in production.

  11. The new generation of Toyota Highlander is designed for the European market. In fact, in just a few days we will begin to see it already available in dealerships in our country. What's more, we can now inform you about their official prices, as well as their equipment levels and main features. It may not be a well-known model in Spain, but the Highlander has been active for many years in other markets outside of Europe, where it has been a successful model. Now it comes here to position itself as the largest among Toyota's hybrid SUVs, that is, above the RAV4. On a technical level, the new Toyota Highlander combines a 2.5-liter Atkinson heat engine with two electric motors, one in the front and the other in the rear. It is therefore a smart all-wheel drive car (AWD-i). In addition, it has several driving modes (Normal, Sport and Trail), as well as an independent EV operating mode. The combined power is 248 hp. Safety and equipment Before moving on to prices, we must talk about safety equipment and assistants. As standard, the Toyota Highlander features the Toyota Safety Sense, which includes pre-collision safety to avoid collisions and accidents (pedestrians and cyclists), adaptive cruise control, trajectory maintenance system, involuntary lane departure alert with steering assistance, automatic high beams and traffic sign recognition. Other standard equipment are Full LED headlights, blind spot detector, rain sensor, front fog and active headrest. To this should be added tri-zone climate control, hands-free access and start, heated seats, 8-inch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android, 20-inch wheels and wireless charging. All of this, as I say, standard, or what is the same, from the Advance finish. Top finish, Luxury, adds stand-up tailgate, heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, 10-inch Head-Up Display, 12.3-inch center screen, 360-degree camera, 1,200-watt JBL equipment and panoramic roof.

  12. Insatiable Luis Suárez. Area soccer player of those who do not remain, of those who are traded at the price of gold for the brilliance with which he solves the occasions where others only encounter difficulties and the legs of rival players. What he did against Getafe, Alavés or Eibar (to name just three of the last four rojiblancas victories before last night's duel). What he did again against Valencia to put the 2-1 on the scoreboard. It is not only about the goals he scores, but it is also the brutal importance in points when it comes to quantifying the kilogram of target in the classification. The one that, on the other hand, dominates Atlético with an iron fist (seven points more than Madrid, 10 more than Barça ... both with one more game) thanks in large part to the brutal streak of its scorer. The great scorer. But let's get to the point against Valencia. The one that started after a great move by Mario Hermoso taking the ball out, then pulling the periscope to give the ball an advantage to Joao Félix. The Portuguese, who has plenty of skill, left the ball to Luis Suárez. So corner was the 9 that it seemed impossible to place it on the other suit. But the Uruguayan does not understand the impossible and placed the ball right where Jaume Domenech could not reach. Perhaps it was the only place where the good Valencian goalkeeper could not get him out. Maybe that's why the insatiable rojiblanco striker sent him there. It is the 12th goal of the forward, which equals En-Nesyri at the top of the Pichichi. One more takes since his friend Messi, the same one with whom he formed a partnership and the same one who will miss him so much when he sees how the team that is launched by LaLiga that they compete has a weapon of mass destruction. Something that Leo already glimpsed a few weeks ago against Jordi Évole. A fabulous forward who doubts existed when he arrived at Atlético last summer. The rojiblanco club was betting on a player that Barça did not want and yesterday, just on the day that he was 34 years old, he again showed that all the efforts of both Simeone and Gil Marín to convince the forward, the first, and square the accounts, the second, they were not a toast to the sun. With him as a stiletto, Atlético has achieved seven victories in a row after the defeat in the derby (full of 21 points) and also to be a team with so much faith as to come back two games in a row. The first, in Eibar, with the saving target after a penalty that he himself transformed into Panenka after scoring the equalizer before. Against Valencia he got 2-1, a key target to ensure a victory that began to gain strength with the area animal that is 9.

  13. Initial figures from one of the Israeli healthcare providers released Monday by local media show that out of a group of 128,600 people, only 20 contracted coronavirus a week after receiving the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine. This information, which specialists emphasize should be taken with caution, was published today by the digital Times of Israel and places the percentage of infected people seven days after receiving the second vaccine at 0.015%. "These results are very good, and if they stay in this direction it may turn out that the vaccine is more effective than what Pfizer estimated during its tests," Anat Ekka Zohar, responsible for the analysis published today, explained to the digital. On the other hand, he warned that "this is very preliminary information but nevertheless it is important since everyone is paying attention to Israel to receive information on the efficacy of the vaccine." These figures come a few days after a controversy broke out in Israel due to contradictions between different health officials regarding the effectiveness of the first dose of the vaccine, which was initially said to be more effective than thought, then less and finally that it was still too early to tell. So far Israel, with nine million inhabitants, has given the first dose of the vaccine to more than 2.5 million people, while more than a million have already received the second. Meanwhile, a third general confinement is in force in the country, which began on December 27 and will last until at least next Sunday, January 31. With the latest infections detected, Israel today exceeded 600,000 cases since the beginning of the pandemic, of which just over 70,000 remain active, 1,140 of them in serious condition.
