  6. High competition in the automotive industry forces manufacturers to implement crazy ideas. Europe and the US have reached a level of development that forces them to update their models every so often. However, there are still regions of the globe where customers are not so demanding. And this is where the picaresque arises and the desire to make profitable the investments that they carry out when developing new products. The Renault Group is one of the most astute in this regard. For example we have Dacia and the reuse that the Romanian firm has carried out of disused Renault components. Well, now that they are about to launch a new generation, using the latest technology they give another twist to one of their models. The Lada Largus Cross lands in Russia as a playful and jovial proposal from the veteran Dacia Logan MCV. The Lada Largus Cross will arrive in Russia in mid-2021 To recall a bit, suffice it to say that the Dacia Logan MCV has been on the market for a decade. This model, like its saloon counterpart, is based on an even older platform, so its safety is really low. But this is not a problem, since the Russian market is governed by a code in which the price is the only variable that determines the purchase, or not, of a model. Therefore, the Renault Group is committed to amortizing it more. And what have they done to give it a new life? Well, easy and simple: redesign your front and offer it with an air to any road. This type of version is very well received in this market and the new image gives it greater freshness. It stands out for including a front where the "X" shape of the chrome stands out. It is similar to the sight on the Lada Vision Concept or the simpler Granta and Vesta. For now details on the revamped Lada Largus Cross are still scant. Those responsible for the Russian firm have published a single official image and the date it will reach the local market. As they say, it will be available in the commercial network during the first half of next year 2021. The mechanical offer available is still unknown, although it is likely to remain with respect to its predecessor.

  7. Reaching the third age and enjoying those years with health and fulfillment is possible thanks to different habits that contribute to having a better quality of life at that stage. Especially with food. Thus, eating a healthy diet is more than a recommendation, it is an obligation in older people. For this reason, once one reaches the third age it is vital to increase the consumption of certain foods. While 30% of aging is related to genetics, 70% is in your hands and is related to your lifestyle, according to a study from Stanford University. Sara Rivera, nutrition advisor for Herbalife Nutrition, explains that diet plays an important role in these years and argues that in the elderly there are changes such as loss of muscle mass and decreased appetite. For this reason, she recommends maintaining a fractional nutrition and in small portions every 3 to 4 hours. '' Food that is easy to chew and digest will be chosen. Constant hydration will also be promoted, as the sensation of thirst diminishes over the years, '' says the nutrition expert. Mónica Vélez Aguilar is 66 years old, she is aware that having a balanced diet has helped her improve her health. She before she recognizes that she did not want to eat, she did not like fruits and she was depressed. She now she enjoys her family and her new lifestyle that she got through food. The Herbalife Nutrition specialist shared below several foods that should be included and that carry different benefits: 1. Foods with calcium such as lactose-free milk, Greek yogurt, lupine, cheese. Tip: You can make a smoothie with lactose-free milk, 1 tablespoon chochos and a fruit of your choice. 2. Fermented foods that help preserve a correct intestinal probiota such as: kefir, kombucha, sourdough bread or sauerkraut. Tip: Salads can include sauerkraut, it is an easy way and at the same time it is including vegetables. 3. Foods rich in iron, such as spinach, broccoli, liver are essential to avoid anemia. Tip: You can make a juice with these foods and add orange, so we help the iron to be absorbed better by the union with vitamin C. 4. Use strong spices such as cinnamon, curry, turmeric, bay leaf, ginger, as they promote digestion and boost the flavor of food. Tip: When making the rice we can add natural spices to enhance the aroma and flavor. 5. Include eggs every day for healthy fat and protein. Tip: You can make an omelette with spinach, so we add more vitamins and fiber. 6. Include foods with fiber, to avoid constipation such as oatmeal, whole wheat bread, brown rice, quinoa or fruit with peel. Tip: Mix rice with quinoa to add more fiber. 7. Include healthy fats to prevent heart disease such as omega 3 and 6 from fish, nuts, peanut butter, avocado. Tip: Make a compote with banana and peanut butter, which is easy to chew. 8. Include nutritional shakes or supplements, to ensure the intake of essential vitamins and nutrients, such as protein, calcium, fiber, multivitamins, etc.

  8. Canada detected the first two cases of contamination by the new variant of coronavirus discovered in the United Kingdom, Ontario health authorities announced this Saturday, December 26. "The cases are a couple from Durham who have no history of travel, exposure (to the virus), or high-risk contacts," the Ministry of Health of this province, the most po[CENSORED]ted in the country, said in a statement. The couple were placed in isolation on the same day that Ontario reinstated a multi-week lockdown due to a sharp increase in the COVID-19 epidemic since the beginning of December. Migration measure Canada suspended until January 6 all flights from the United Kingdom after the appearance in that country of the new strain of the virus. Several countries announced on Saturday having identified confirmed cases of the British variant, such as Italy, Sweden, Spain and Japan, after the infections previously reported by France, Germany, Lebanon or Denmark. The discovery of these first cases in the Canadian province "reinforces the need for the po[CENSORED]tion of Ontario to stay home as much as possible and to continue to respect public health guidelines, especially the containment measures in the province, which came into effect today. "recalled Dr. Barbara Yaffe, deputy head of the local health authorities. The reconfinement in Ontario, which has 14 million inhabitants and whose capital is Toronto, will last 28 days in the south of the province and 14 in the northern part. The new rules especially prohibit private gatherings indoors beyond the family circle. Essential businesses, such as grocery stores or pharmacies, may remain open but other establishments, such as restaurants, should be limited to dispatching orders or home deliveries. Canada registered more than 534,000 cases and more than 14,700 deaths from coronavirus on Saturday since the start of the pandemic.

  11. The past Geneva International Motor Show had to be very special for Bentley. However, the health crisis caused by COVID-19 forced those responsible to cancel the appointment. In this way, brands had to modify their presentation strategy and jump on the digitalization bandwagon. Well, among the models that we would have liked to meet in person was the exclusive and radiant Bentley Bacalar by Mulliner. The English firm classified it as the most luxurious roadster in the world and there is no lack of reason. This is not only due to its sumptuous lines or exquisite finish, but also because of its limited production. Well, the English house has taken another step for Bacalar to reach the market. The twelve units they promised are already sold and their customers are looking forward to enjoying them. To do this, the Bacalar Car Zero lands on the test track. The twelve units of the Bentley Bacalar are already sold This is the name that the project engineers have given to the first test unit. According to statements by Paul Williams, director of Bentley Mulliner ... “Bacalar Car Zero is the crucial prototype we are using to endorse the design, engineering and craftsmanship of this innovative part of the future of Bentley Mulliner. The Bacalar is a completely modern version of the body-built Bentley's of the past… […] We can't wait to start building the 12 customer cars » Among the tests to which the Bentley Bacalar Car Zero will be subjected are speed or climatic. Thus, they will evaluate its performance and behavior at maximum speed (322 kilometers per hour) to check the stability, dynamics, noise and vibrations that its chassis can transmit to the passenger compartment. Regarding the weather, the interior materials and electrical system will be tested at temperatures of up to 80 degrees Celsius. On a technical level, the Bentley Bacalar shares a platform with the Continental GT. The rest of the elements that make up its appearance are new, the only vestige remaining is the handle to open the door. In fact, this special version has more than 750 new components created expressly for him. Of the total, around a hundred are pieces printed with the latest 3D technology and more than 40 in carbon fiber. The delivery date of the first units has not been announced, although the time that these 45 validation tests will last has been announced. According to the calendar, the brand's engineers will work for about 20 weeks, which is the same for about 5 months. Therefore, it is expected that by the second half of 2021 they will be able to enjoy it.

  12. In the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, it is important to maintain the immune system in the best possible way. Evidence shows that taking too much salt is really harmful Many factors make some people more vulnerable to virus or bacterial infections than others. In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, any data, any investigation that shows how to strengthen our defenses, is welcome. And, in that sense, we are in luck, waiting for everyone to receive the vaccine. Science has long recognized that the immune system evolved to protect organisms from invading pathogens. A network of pro and anti-inflammatory cell types equipped with special effector molecules (that perform a specific function in response to a stimulus; the term is usually used to describe cells of the immune system) ensures efficient removal of intruders such as viruses and bacteria. "We have been able to show, for the first time, that excessive salt intake also weakens an important arm of the immune system" However, imbalances can lead to an excessive response of effector cells causing autoimmune or allergic diseases. And as Ralf Willebrand and Markus Kleinewietfeld acknowledge, in an article published in 'Immunology': “The interaction of genetic and environmental factors contributes to autoimmune diseases and recent studies provided evidence of the impact of eating habits on immune status and related disorders. . Western societies have experienced a change in lifestyle associated with changes in food consumption, such as the increase in salt ”. And they insist: "Now we know that salt has an impact on the function of immune cells with negative effects on the appearance and progression of diseases such as hypertension, obesity, cancer, metabolic syndrome and autoimmune diseases." And to this is added another study, under the leadership of the University Hospital of Bonn (Germany), which corroborates this statement. The data According to the World Health Organization (WHO), "it is estimated that each year 2.5 million deaths could be prevented if global salt intake were reduced to the recommended level." Speaking to Alimente, Dr. Domingo Carrera, an expert in Nutrition at the Medical-Surgical Center (CMED), clarifies: "Salt intake should be 5 g / day. This corresponds to two level teaspoons of salt coffee a day. But the average is 8-10 g / day in the po[CENSORED]tion. " The research, published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, found that mice fed a high-salt diet suffer much more serious bacterial infections. Human volunteers who consumed an additional six grams of the seasoning per day also showed pronounced immune deficiencies. This amount corresponds to the salt content of two fast foods. It is well known that we raise the salt shaker higher than we should, so it is important to know these statements. "We have been able to show, for the first time, that excessive salt intake also significantly weakens an important arm of the immune system," explains Professor Dr. Christian Kurts from the Institute for Experimental Immunology at the University of Bonn. This finding is unexpected, as some studies point in the opposite direction. “For example, infections with certain skin parasites in laboratory animals heal significantly faster if they eat a diet high in salt: macrophages, which are immune cells that attack, eat and digest parasites, are particularly active in the presence of salt. . Several specialists concluded from this observation that sodium chloride has a generally immunological effect ”. The skin serves as a reservoir of salt However, "our results show that this generalization is not accurate," emphasizes Katarzyna Jobin, lead author of the study, who has since transferred to the University of Würzburg. There are two reasons for this: First, the body keeps the salt concentration in the blood and in the various organs largely constant. Otherwise, fundamental biological processes would be affected. The only major exception is the skin - it functions as the body's store of sodium. This is why its additional intake works so well for some skin conditions. However, other parts of the body are not exposed to the additional salt that is consumed with food. Instead, it is filtered by the kidneys and excreted in the urine. And this is where the second mechanism comes into play: the kidneys have a sodium chloride sensor that activates the function of salt excretion. However, as an undesirable side effect, this sensor also causes so-called glucocorticoids to accumulate in the body. And these, in turn, inhibit the function of granulocytes, the most common type of immune cell in the blood. 'Carrion' cells Granulocytes, like macrophages, are 'scavenger' cells. However, they do not attack parasites, but mainly bacteria. If they don't do this to a sufficient degree, the infections progress much more severely. "We were able to show this in mice with a listeria infection," explains Dr. Jobin. "We had previously put some of them on a high-salt diet. In the spleen and liver of these animals we count 100 to 1,000 times the number of pathogens that cause disease. Listeria is a bacterium found, for example, in contaminated food and can cause fever, vomiting and sepsis. Urinary tract infections also healed much more slowly in laboratory mice fed a high-sodium diet, "he adds. Sodium chloride also appears to have a negative effect on the human immune system. "We examined the volunteers who consumed six grams of salt in addition to their daily intake," says Professor Kurts. "This is roughly the amount in two fast foods, that is, two hamburgers and two servings of French fries." After a week, the scientists took blood from their subjects and examined the granulocytes. The immune cells coped much worse with the bacteria after the test subjects began eating a high-salt diet. In human volunteers, excessive salt intake also resulted in increased glucocorticoid levels. Not surprisingly, this suppresses the immune system - the better-known glucocorticoid cortisone is traditionally used to suppress inflammation. "Only through investigations of an entire organism were we able to discover the complex control circuits that lead from salt intake to this immunodeficiency," Kurts emphasizes. "Therefore, our work also illustrates the limitations of purely cell culture experiments." In the opinion of Dr. Carrera, “although the studies so far are preclinical, that is, carried out in laboratory animals and not in humans, changes have been seen in the immune system when consuming excessive salt. On the one hand, it has been seen that the excessive consumption of sodium chloride can stimulate the production and activity of T Helper 17 lymphocytes up to 10 times. This causes the immune response to be greater than normal and worsens the evolution of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, etc. On the other hand, it has been seen that it reverses the effect of regulatory T lymphocytes and increases the action of activating T lymphocytes ”. Furthermore, he defends, “it decreases the activation of M1 macrophages responsible for eliminating pathogens. And it has also been seen to reduce the function of granulocytes, which are responsible for specifically killing bacteria. All of this increases the presence of glucocorticoids in the body. That salt, on the one hand, reduces the defenses against pathogens, mainly bacteria, and, on the other hand, increases the action of the immune system on T lymphocytes and inflammation is greater in autoimmune processes ”. How to reduce salt in the pandemic According to Dr. Carrera, “people tend to take more if they increase their intake of fast and processed food, since with two meals (hamburger and french fries) the suggested level of salt is already reached. If consumption increases in the pandemic of fast food, processed foods, cans, frozen foods, cartons, industrial pastries, 'snacks' or packaged and bagged products, the average consumption of salt will increase ”. We should, he insists, “despite difficulties, try to consume fresh and home-cooked products. Do not abuse beef and seafood, as they contain sodium inside. Reduce the intake of food prepared in restaurants, since they put more salt than we use at home. As well as eating natural or roasted nuts without salt ”.

  13. A first case of the new strain of covid-19 that emerged in the United Kingdom was detected this Friday in the town of Tours, in central France, announced the French Ministry of Health. The first positive confirmed in France of the new variant of the virus is a Frenchman who resides in the United Kingdom and who is asymptomatic, the Ministry reported in a statement, in which it specified that the infected person was isolated in quarantine. After having arrived "from London on December 19 (...), he received medical attention in a hospital and on the 21st he tested positive," the Ministry said, which assured that he is the "first infected by the VOC 202012/01 variant. "on French territory. According to the provisions of the protocol launched after the discovery of this possibly more contagious strain in the south-east of the United Kingdom, a "sequencing" of the virus carried by this patient was requested from the National Reference Center for Respiratory Infections Viruses. The latter confirmed the infection with VOC 202012/01 variant on Friday. "Health officials began a search of the medical professionals who cared for the patient and the people with whom he was in contact, so that they are strictly isolated," the statement said. In addition to this case, "so far, several positive samples that could be due to the VOC 202012/01 variant are being sequenced by the laboratories" of the National Reference Center, the Ministry added. Similarly, the Minister of Health of Japan, Norihisa Tamura, reported that between December 18 and 21 cases were detected in two airports with five passengers. It was specified that they tested positive upon arrival in Japan, two at Haneda airport and three at Kansai airport. Then it was found that they carried the variant detected in the United Kingdom. Japan was one of the countries that prohibited the arrival of foreigners from the United Kingdom, however, it allows access for its nationals even if they arrive from that region.

  19. The arrival of the Citroën C3 AirCross to the market was a breath of fresh air for the French firm. If it hadn't been for him, his sales would have fallen even more, since his range did not attract the main bulk of the market. Now, when it is about to reach the halfway point of its commercial life, it updates its mechanical offer. Specifically, there is a new version that drinks diesel and improves its performance and reduces its CO2 emissions compared to its predecessor. We refer to the 1.5 BlueHDi block, which now offers 110 hp of power. For its management it relies on a manual transmission with 6 relations that sends the force to the previous train. For now there will be no automatic box being relegated to the most powerful gasoline and diesel. However, this improvement does not imply any cosmetic changes, as this update will be known in 2021. If you like it, we will tell you what its range is like and what its prices are. The Citroën C3 AirCross 1.5 BlueHDi 110 CV improves its performance and efficiency The Citroën C3 AirCross is marketed in Spain in four finishes. From lowest to highest endowment they are called: Live Pack, Feel, Shine and C-Series. All are known in the offer of the French manufacturer standing out for a complete endowment. From the initial finish, it has elements such as air conditioning, warning of involuntary lane change, light sensor or signal recognition plus intelligent speed adaptation. If we go to the Feel finish, it incorporates rear parking aid, electric, heated and electrically folding mirrors or Look SUV pack. For its part, the Shine finish includes a folding forward front passenger seat or a pearl black two-tone roof. It also adds 17-inch alloy wheels, rear-view camera with front parking aid or hands-free access and starting. Finally there is the special series C-Series. For its part, it includes a 2 / 3-1 / 3 folding rear bench, anti-fog lights or Look SUV pack. There are also elements such as 16-inch alloy wheels, a pearl black two-tone roof or automatic climate control. In terms of comfort, it stands out for offering central elbow rests for the driver and passenger, sequential and anti-pinch rear power windows, and over-tinted rear windows. Prices and versions for Spain ... Taking into account the arrival of the 1.5 BlueHDi S&S 110 CV block to the C3 AirCross range, its rates are very tight. In the attached table you can see how the range is made up with all the available options. From these prices we must subtract the possible promotions that the Citroën commercial network can offer. However, it is more than likely that the Km0 and management units of the previous engine are in liquidation.

  20. Overweight and obesity is caused by multiple factors, including biological, genetic, environmental, nutritional issues, and above all, the lack of physical activity of the people who suffer from it. It is a problem that must be addressed from a multifactorial perspective. The problem of overweight and obesity is directly related to an unhealthy lifestyle, in which a poor diet is combined with minimal physical activity. It is the individual, thinking about the multiple consequent benefits and the commitment to his own health, who is responsible for taking care of daily habits and not lowering his guard when looking for healthy options. As well as obesity, physical activity is also the consequence of several factors. The reality is that in our country there are different barriers that discourage us when planning physical activities, some of them are very visible and affect us considerably, some are: Poor public infrastructure for sports Unsafe and poorly lit roads Excessive commuting time between home-school-office that we waste daily The commitment is from us all Adopting the necessary habits is a joint mission; Government, companies and individuals have a pending task: to take care of our health. Governments and nutrition programs now need to focus on ensuring that people consume more foods high in fiber and protein, such as fruits and vegetables, have greater access to clean water, implement complex physical activity programs in schools and that they not only comply with the minimum hour of sports, and that parents, in their natural character as educators of the family, teach their children how to prepare and consume healthy foods. At some point in the past, the main problem we had in Latin American countries was low nutrition. "We try to address school feeding and supplement programs for families," said officials from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Now we have to see photography from a broader perspective. Families have at their fingertips a lot of energy in food and few options for energy expenditure, an essential balance to eradicate the problem of obesity and balance their diet. Facts and figures from the World Health Organization Since 1980, obesity has doubled around the world. In 2014, more than 1.9 billion adults aged 18 and over were overweight, of which more than 600 million were obese. The majority of the world's po[CENSORED]tion lives in countries where overweight and obesity take more people's lives than underweight (being under the weight that is considered healthy). In 2014, 41 million children under the age of five were overweight or obese. But the most important fact: Obesity can be prevented.
