They are industrial preparations made from substances derived from other foods that include long lists of additives with very little nutritional value, but many fats, sugar, salt and calories. At this point, no one will be surprised if we affirm that a diet that prides itself on being healthy and balanced should not lack fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, olive oil, skimmed or semi-skimmed dairy products and healthy protein sources animal or vegetable origin. And, in the same way, we should know what types of foods we should banish from the diet. We refer mainly to ultra-processed foods, which are nothing other than industrial preparations made from substances derived from other foods that include long lists of additives (preservatives, colorings, sweeteners or flavor enhancers), with very little nutritional value, which have They are rich in fat, sugar or salt and provide a huge amount of calories. The nutritionist Carlos Ríos, who has long championed the Realfooding movement, has it clear. “Food has a complex dietary matrix, which is healthy in its natural and minimally processed form. We have overlooked the degree of processing of these raw materials, ignoring the possible effects that alter the food and that have repercussions on our health ”, he explains. The 5 worst ultra-processed foods Thus, Carlos Ríos lists a list of foods that should be eliminated from the diet since they are responsible for an increased risk of mortality. Commercial soft drinks and juices “Both are broadly related to obesity and all-cause mortality. They are responsible for more than 185,000 deaths from diabetes and cardiovascular disease a year. In addition, sugary drinks are one of the largest contributors to the increase in premature death according to Harvard. " Energy drinks “They are sold as improvements in physical and mental performance, concentration and as an accompaniment to alcohol. The latter is especially dangerous since caffeine mixed with alcohol can lead to drinking more than you would otherwise. These contribute to the increased risk of heart attack and general cardiovascular disease. They rapidly accelerate cellular aging ”. Pastries and snacks “From diet biscuits, to sugary cereals, croissants, the assortment of caña, Neapolitan or stuffed pastries, etc. Millions of people still think that white bread, fiber digestive biscuits or marie biscuits are not pastries and they are. On the other hand, familiarity causes them to be consumed practically without thinking, displacing vegetables. According to the ANIBES survey, both groups can provide almost 30-40% of the daily energy intake of Spaniards, about 9 kilos of pastries a year each Spaniard eats on average ”. Sugary dairy “Dairy products naturally have sugar in the form of lactose. However, this is not the problem, but the problem is in dairy products to which sugar is intentionally added. In children especially, these products are related to obesity. Many parents still think that liquid shakes are healthy for their children. " Pre-cooked “Pizzas, sandwiches, lasagna or French fries are commonly used as an excuse for lack of time, lack of ideas or pure addiction. However, these types of preparations contribute to the worsening of the quality of the diet by contributing to excess sodium, oils and refined flours. These products are associated with the risk of excess weight. Better eat good processed foods that are fast and convenient ”. Ultra-processed and weight gain: two examples Recent research by the US National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases shows that prolonged consumption of ultra-processed foods can lead to considerable weight gain and increase the risk of certain diseases of both a metabolic nature as cardiovascular. The results of the work in which two types of eating pattern were compared, published in the prestigious journal 'Cell Metabolism', indicate that those people whose diet was based on ultra-processed foods ingested an average of 500 calories more in relation to the other group than she was eating a healthy diet and the weight gain was 1 kilogram, which was just the amount of weight lost by the minimally processed food group. That is, the difference between adhering to one diet or the other was two kilos in just two weeks. But in addition, reducing the daily intake of calories can not only translate into body weight loss but can also lead to a series of health benefits such as improving cholesterol levels, blood pressure, blood sugar and others markers related to metabolic or cardiovascular diseases. At least it is the main conclusion of a research by experts from Duke University (USA), published in the journal 'The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology', which suggests significant improvements in health and body weight control even in people adults who are already at a healthy weight. And the researchers found that those who eliminated 300 calories a day from their diet for two years lost an average of 7.5 kilos (5.3 kilos of fat) compared to those who maintained a diet, let's say, normal. Extra calories that may perfectly correspond to those provided by ultra-processed ones that do not provide anything other than headaches.

That breakfast is the most important meal of the day is a phrase we've heard for as long as we can remember. It is good for you, for your metabolism, it prevents you from eating late and keeps you in shape. We know it by heart. But some scientists believe that this is a myth. And that it will not become true no matter how much we repeat it. Studies show that skipping breakfast is more common among people who are overweight or obese. But this can be a dangerous trap. When the sale of ice cream increases, so does the number of people with sunburn. Does that mean ice cream causes heat stroke? This association may mean something about breakfast, or perhaps about the type of people who eat it: more active, with better eating habits and a healthier life. Beyond defending that breakfast is part of a healthy lifestyle, a report from the UK's National Obesity Observatory concluded that "it is not clear whether there is a causal relationship with Body Mass Index (BMI, or weight) or if breakfast is just one of the many factors that contribute to a healthy weight. " Breakfast to the fore The few clinical studies that exist that altered people's eating habits show that there is no impact on anatomical measurements. The largest, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, asked 300 overweight or obese people to skip breakfast for four months. "There was no difference in the number of pounds lost," says David Allison, in charge of the study from the University of Alabama. "Regarding weight, at least in adults, it seems that it indicates that (breakfast) is a myth." According to the professor, people who skip breakfast are probably just trying to control their own weight. And one of the dangers for those who are used to not taking it and start to do so is that it can lead to weight gain, if they do not eat less the rest of the day. So are governments wrong to incentivize breakfast intake? "If they are recommending it for weight control, then at this point it is not a justified recommendation"; Allison assures. Alison Tedstone belongs to one of the many institutions worldwide that says breakfast is a good thing. And it points to a study showing that people who skip breakfast tend to be heavier, which we already know is an association, not causality. But Tedstone, chief nutritionist at Public Health England, agrees that "the evidence is not at all conclusive about eating breakfast." However, he says that it is the easiest meal to consume correctly during the day and that skipping it inevitably carries the risk of eating something unhealthy between meals which in turn leads to a constant struggle to achieve the necessary balance of nutrients , by not starting the day well. "It is an easy meal to maintain a healthy diet, to control the rest of the day." What is a "healthy breakfast"? There is no such thing as a perfect breakfast, but Tedstone recommends "thinking fiber" every morning. "We are not consuming, on average, enough fiber in our diet, and it is easy to incorporate it into breakfast." "Eating oatmeal is cheap and tasty," he says. Like oatmeal, a high-fiber breakfast includes fruit, whole-grain toast, and cereals. But some of the high-fiber cereals may contain salt or sugar to make them more palatable. "It's very difficult. I think breakfast cereals are very misleading." He assures that it is necessary to check the labels since some have less sugar attached and that fresh or dried fruit can make them more palatable. "I urge people to eat a piece of fruit with breakfast. Fruit is much better than juice as it contains fiber." Fuel for the brain Another big argument in favor of breakfast is that it improves children's performance at school. A study by Cardiff University published in 2015 was the latest association between a healthy breakfast and performance in the classroom. But these reports are under the same lens as those who find a link between breakfast and weight. "It seems quite plausible that skipping breakfast as a child is a sign of a poor family environment - with a family unable to provide adequate breakfast for the child - which is probably the reason why the child does not perform well in school." says David Rogers, a professor at the University of Bristol. So what we do? "If you're used to having breakfast, I think you should make it your healthiest meal of the day." "But if you are one of those who have skipped it all your life, I'm not going to tell you that you should have breakfast, but I'm going to encourage you to think about it," says Jebb. Instead, Allison suggests that people concerned about their weight should do both: eat and skip breakfast to see what's best for them. What is certain is that, in either case, they should not swallow a bread with sausage at 11 in the morning.

Little by little, slowly and without making any noise, Lotus advances towards its future. We have said it many times but if it had not been for Geely, I would have been raising mallows for a long time. However, this is not an obstacle to rest on its laurels as it must be updated to sell more and be profitable. The Evija is a sample of what they are capable of but it will not take them out of the red numbers either by volume or by economic performance. The future, or rather the present, is in the SUV segment. Barring a dramatic setback in history and the economic situation, customers seem to never tire of these types of vehicles. That's why they've been designing and building the Lotus Lambda for a while. Yes, so what it looks like its first all road will be called. Now, in addition to knowing this name, we have access to some renderings that show what its final design would be like. Thanks to the Lotus Lambda in Hethel they will be able to continue developing new sports cars Although the Lotus Lambda project is kept under high secrecy, we already know many of its details. One of the most painful, for the brand, has to do with the design that it seems to wear. Yes, because about three years a series of sketches were leaked in a patent office. The problem is that at this time we have not had knowledge about the possible progress, or not, of the necessary work to complete its development. Well, thanks to the guys from Kolesa we have had access to these renderings. To create the Lotus Lambda that you can see they have pulled the sketches that we mentioned before. All in all, its design is modern and fresh, presenting curved and smooth lines in areas such as the front. However, there are elements such as the headlights or grille that "look" a bit like those used by some Jaguar models. The side view is much more powerful, with a marked coupe format. A very low roof line or very marked wheel arches help this. Expressive tension lines are also on the doors, shaping what appears to be a ventilation outlet. All this will be accompanied by different chrome trim, plastic protections that run under the body or alloy wheels finished in black. Finally we see how they have executed behind. Here we have some large headlamps in contrast to the small size of the rear window. For decoration, it has a center molding finished in gloss black. The air is similar to other models seen in the brand, although there is also an aftertaste of Ferrari. The design and size of the rear bumper is powerful as well as the integrated tailpipes at the ends. When is the Lambda expected to arrive? If everything goes according to plan, it should see the light of day in 2022. And so far we can read, because the rest of the data on the English SUV is a mystery. The last time we heard from him the news suggested that he would share technique with Volvo. In fact, it is expected to arrive with thermal and also electric versions, so its platform is that of the Swedish manufacturer. Patience.

Hunger does not always respond to physiological needs but also to feelings of anxiety or stress as a result of daily life. Here are some tips to treat it. Food is an outlet for heartbreak, sadness, and anxiety. Snacking between meals is one of the causes of weight gain and obesity. The way we eat is decisive and is linked to the emotional state. There is physiological hunger, which is a real sensation and calms down as soon as we consume any food. On the other hand, emotional hunger appears suddenly and does not go away even though we eat something, generally unhealthy for health. This last type of hunger must be addressed in a multidisciplinary way, with the help of psychological therapy and also through some strategies of daily life presented below. Set a schedule Discipline and order for meals, directly affects the control of anxiety about food. The order in the meals directly influences the anxiety to eat and increases satiety. Keep your mind busy The day to day should be with many activities instead of having the mind focused on the mealtime. That kind of thinking leads to traveling to the refrigerator every moment. It is very important to organize yourself in daily activities. Stress management Not getting enough sleep and a state of permanent stress make eating not adequate. When we are stressed, the body asks for foods that are very caloric, quick to prepare and accessible. In other words, ultra-processed. Good rest A bad rest will make the hormonal environment not suitable. Lack of sleep is correlated with poorer body composition and fat gain, which will directly affect the centers that regulate satiety and appetite. A meal plan The fundamental thing is to have a diet plan adapted to your own needs, habits and lifestyle. Although we are carrying out a fat loss plan, where there will be a greater caloric deficit than in another type of eating approach, it is possible to keep hunger in order.

The manufacturer Donkevoort is back. The last time we talked to you about him was a few months ago. The reason for this was really important, as they launched a very special model on the market. With the Donkervoort D8 GTO-JD70 they not only commemorated the 42 years of the firm's life. They also took the opportunity to pay a heartfelt tribute to its founder. Now, they present an evolution destined to destroy the chrono on the circuits. It is the Donkervoort D8 GTO-JD70 R and the evolution with respect to the base model is really interesting. In the first place because it offers a much more radical and aggressive image, if there was room for improvement. But it is not the only aspect that changes. In fact, the firm defines this product as the fastest, maddest and safest racing car in the world. We will tell you how it changes and why they believe that their personality is now more "aggressive." The Donkervoort D8 GTO-JD70 R is a machine designed for the circuit The aesthetics of the Donkervoort D8 GTO-JD70 R have few comments. It is sporty and enters the eye as soon as you see it. It is at a technical level where its engineers have worked the most. Thus, Audi's turbocharged five-cylinder block is the main beneficiary. Of the 2.5 liters that it offers, it increases its performance to 422 CV and 760 Nm of maximum torque. This is offers 41 more CV and 285 Nm of torque respectively. And the best of the Donkevoort D8 GTO-JD70 R is not only in its mechanics. The power to weight ratio is really good. That is, with only 725 kilos it yields a figure of 1.71 CV per kilo. For this reason, it offers heart-stopping features. Thus, it accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 2.7 seconds and 0 to 200 kilometers per hour in 7.7 seconds. For its part, the maximum speed is 280 kilometers per hour. All this potential is managed through a 6-speed manual transmission. Technically speaking, the Donkervoort D8 GTO-JD70 R features a chassis and suspension tuned to shine on a track. In fact, it will be in this terrain where it is most enjoyable at its controls, as it will be able to offer cornering with up to 2.25G of lateral acceleration. However, all this waste of sportsmanship has a downside: its price. As indicated by the brand, it will start at 198 thousand euros VAT of 21 percent included. However, we must add the 1,210 euros that its preparation and set-up costs. The number of units that will be manufactured is uncertain, although as a curiosity to mention that they offer a financing service. Maybe they want to expand the client portfolio? The same is that.

[LifeStyle] Twelve tips to combat anxiety to eat at all hours
#Steeven.™ posted a topic in Lifestyle
Establishing a meal schedule, choosing satisfying foods, avoiding ultra-processed foods, practicing mindful eating are some of the keys that help protect us against "emotional hunger" Surely on more than one occasion it has happened to you that no matter how much you eat food it seems that a black hole inhabits your stomach and that there is no possible way to combat the anxiety to eat. This is also an aspect that may have intensified in the current situation that we are going through, due to the effect of the pandemic. Many changes in our lifestyle, more time locked up at home, uncertainty, more inactivity ... These aspects impair the control of anxiety about eating, even exacerbating that anxiety. The way we eat is decisive and is linked to the emotional state. For this reason, it is so important to differentiate the type of "hunger" we experience, since the approach will be different for each case. On the one hand we can experience an episode of physiological or physical hunger. It is equivalent to real hunger and it would be the sensation through which our body tells us that it needs nutrients and energy. We notice that it increases as time passes. It does not appear suddenly and calms down when we eat food and can be controlled. On the other hand, there is emotional hunger, which usually appears suddenly and does not seem to be satisfied with food intake. It gives us immediate satisfaction, but then it makes us feel guilty. It comes to us suddenly and it becomes very difficult to control it because, although we eat, it seems to never stop. As a general rule, it has an emotional trigger (stress or experience that generates anxiety) that makes us take refuge in certain foods irremediably. Although this last type of more emotional hunger should be approached in a multidisciplinary way, in parallel with some type of adequate psychological therapy, it is also possible to keep it under control by means of adequate nutrition through these twelve keys. 1. An eating plan The first step should always be to have a diet plan that is appropriate to your needs, habits and lifestyle. This aspect is the key to keeping anxiety at bay. Although we are carrying out a fat loss plan, where there will be a greater caloric deficit than in another type of eating approach, it is possible to keep hunger in order. In these cases, you can always take infusions, foods with low caloric intake and satiating such as pickles (pickles, carrots, onions, aubergines ...) or take raw vegetables rich in fiber and make us chew, such as celery or carrots. 2. Set a schedule Discipline and order when it comes to eating will have a direct impact on controlling anxiety about eating and, in addition, it is an aspect that is scientifically proven: the order in meals directly influences anxiety to eat and increases satiety. Eating properly is a habit that must be learned. 3. Don't skip meals This aspect is directly related to the previous point. It is about strictly following all the meals that we have established. If we skip a feed, in all probability we will arrive at the next with a greater feeling of hunger and it will be more difficult for us to control what we eat. There will be no problem if you occasionally skip one of your meals, but you have to follow the next ones as you have them scheduled. 4. Choose satisfying foods Generally, fresh, whole foods, rich in fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains, whole nuts, fresh meat and fish, make up a food matrix full of nutrients. Our body must do a job when it comes to extracting these nutrients from the food matrix, which involves a process directly related to satiety. It will never be the same to take a handful of natural nuts, with the corresponding chewing process, than to take a tablespoon of these in the form of cream, a product with which we hardly have to generate work to digest and that will most likely stimulate us even more. the appetite. 5. Avoid ultra-processed These products have a high palatability (they are very tasty) and are expressly designed to stimulate our senses, our appetite. Let's say they're meant to make us want to eat more of them. Their texture and flavor have been painstakingly studied to "get hooked" on them. In addition, being highly refined and processed foods, their digestion will be very fast, an aspect that makes satiety very low and, therefore, they will stimulate our appetite to a great extent. Most of them are going to be very caloric and with little quantity, we are going to ingest an excess of energy almost without realizing it, without being satisfied and without nourishing ourselves. This fact negatively affects the anxiety to eat, increasing it. Try not to have this type of food at home, especially if you are not able to manage. 6. Keep your mind busy Our day to day should be full of activities instead of having our mind focused on when it is time to eat. That kind of looping thinking is going to lead us to open the fridge at all times. It is very important to organize yourself in the different daily activities and carry them out with intention: our work, our leisure moments, our rest and, of course, our time to eat. 7. Be aware and be present We must be aware and be present at the time of eating. When it is time to make a meal, we must be in the present moment, chew each bite consciously, slowly and savor the food. All these aspects have a very positive influence on satiety and will help us to manage anxiety successfully. 8. Take care of the preparation Prepare the table with what you have to eat at that time. Although the lifestyle we have today leads us to chaos, speed and neglecting the preparation of beautiful and colorful meals, try to gift that moment for yourself. Even if it is at dinner, when you get home, she will prepare all the food that you are going to have at that moment on the table and, once you finish, do not return to the fridge. 9. Discipline and responsibility Willpower is limited. Therefore, it is important to know that there will be moments when you can falter. It is in these moments where discipline and responsibility come into play, knowing that eating properly is a habit that is educated and, as such, must be practiced consciously. 10. Food is your allies We have to learn that the way we nurture ourselves is a habit that is learned, educated, far from being a mere intuitive process. The foods that make up our diet must be adequate and sufficient for our needs, they are our allies and at no time should we have a bad relationship with them. 11. Adequate rest and stress management Not getting enough sleep and a state of chronic stress as a way of life, in addition to feeding each other, will make your diet not adequate. When we are stressed, the body asks us for the wrong food, generally very caloric, quick to prepare and accessible. That is, ultra-processed. On the other hand, a bad rest, will cause that the hormonal environment is not the suitable one. Lack of sleep is correlated with poorer body composition and fat gain, which will directly affect the centers that regulate satiety and appetite. 12. Do things step by step Re-educate your eating habits day by day, step by step. If one day you fail, nothing happens, the next day you will have a new opportunity to do things better.

It is sad to see how the evolution of the automotive sector crushes market segments that seemed never going to disappear. The sedans see how the SUV's finish them off without the brands being able to put a solution on it. Thus, we have reached the moment we are in today: renowned saloons are leaving the market without making a sound. The Ford Mondeo is one of the hardest hit despite its long history. The American firm, after years of successes and good sales, is having serious problems finding a replacement. When they launched the current generation, in 2013, they did not imagine that their commercial space would end up occupied by the Kuga or Edge. All in all, the Mondeo production is maintained at the Almussafes technical center (Valencia - Spain) although with slight changes. He has said goodbye forever to diesel and gasoline mechanics. The future of the Ford Mondeo, although confirmed, is a mystery According to an official statement issued by Ford, the production of the Mondeo will be limited to 100 percent hybrid versions. The reason for taking this step lies in the growth that its market share has experienced in Europe. So far this year, sales have increased by 25 percent compared to the same period last year 2019. However, it is in the United Kingdom and Italy where it has reached the highest penetration. According to statements by Roelant de Waard, vice president of marketing, sales and service, Ford of Europe ... “The shift to 100% full hybrid production for our Mondeo gasoline line is another big step forward in Ford's electrification journey” […] “For customers who drive less than 20,000 km per year, our Mondeo Hybrid is a smart choice, offering an even better deal than diesel and electric power without burden or autonomy anxiety » If we take a look at the Ford web configurator in Spain we will see how the Mondeo range has been. Today you can only reserve diesel units so opting for gasoline is impossible. In addition, in the header there is only reference to the hybrid version. Regarding the bodies available, you can still choose between the four-way sedan or the more versatile and familiar Sportbreak. And you may wonder why Ford carries out this drastic reduction of range? Simple, this year you must comply with emissions regulations and only the hybrid version helps you lower the average of the range. Therefore, the rest of the engines in the range prevent you from reaching your goal, which, as you imagine, is not having to pay penalties. It remains to be seen how long the current Ford Mondeo lasts on the market.

For some people, it is very difficult to stop eating junk food, especially after years of eating unhealthy food. Know what science says about it Losing weight and starting a diet is not always easy, the reality is that there are many aspects that are involved. In principle it is important to select the dietary pattern that is suitable for each lifestyle, secondly and probably one of the most fundamental issues, to achieve good results is willpower. The truth is that many people find it difficult to control the temptation to eat unhealthy food or junk food. A new study provides interesting new context on this topic, especially after years of eating these unhealthy foods. The reality is that at this time there are not many foods that escape being high in fat and calories, after all the aisles of supermarkets and the menus of most restaurants are saturated with these types of options. It has recently been proven that even those who have access to nutritious food options can have difficulties consuming them regularly. Based on the above, a new study suggests that this challenge can be attributed to the way the brain responds to certain foods. This research work was published in the journal Nature and explored how a high-fat diet affects the brain, and consequently also alters the desire to eat healthy foods. The researchers focused the study on mice, thus giving one group a high-fat diet (HFD) and another group a standard diet (SD). After a few weeks in general, it can be said that the mice stopped eating the SD diet model, after the high-fat diet was offered and when the latter was taken away, the mice strangely ate very little of it. normal diet. As a result, the mice lost weight. As an important and complementary part of this study, the scientists also recorded the activity of AgRP neurons, which is a group of neurons that control energy balance and fire when you feel hungry. In the same way, neurons for dopamine, the neurotransmitter responsible for our state of mind and for making us feel good, were monitored. What did you find? After the mice ate a high-fat diet, they experienced a reduction in the responses of both groups of neurons when exposed to SD. So much so that neurons only responded strongly when the HFD was offered. In other words, the mice found that the standard diet was less filling and less rewarding than the food that had more calories and fat. Undoubtedly, this explains beyond simple cravings, the reason why it is often difficult to stop eating junk food. At the same time, another of the most interesting conclusions of this study is that the mice experienced abstinence from fatty foods, which they interpreted as a long-term eating habit that makes caloric foods irresistible to the brain, since the processed as more rewarding and valuable. The most interesting thing is that they are very attractive, even when we are not hungry. We can conclude that the brain has memory, in such a way that a recurrent consumption of fast and processed foods creates a habit / habit in the body that damages not only the health and optimal functioning of the organs, alters brain chemistry and hormones in charge of regulating appetite, hunger and even mood.

If there is one thing the BMW Group has been good at, it has been to squeeze the essence of Mini. When he took over the English firm he was a bundle of trouble and trouble. Its old parent, MG-Rover, did not know how to see its full potential and if we add to that that they were without a penny, they did not resist when they stayed with it. And after all the changes it has gone through, it has reached the point where it is today. Even triumphing in the Dakar Rally. Taking a look at the Mini range is to see how its life history has evolved. However, even having launched special versions of all kinds, the English firm had not dared to sprinkle its triumphs in the toughest rally in the world. So far X-raid has arrived and created the Mini Countryman X-raid. If you like the English SUV and you think it is "little country" with this special version you will have more than enough. If not, look ... The Mini Countryman X-raid improves on aesthetics and off road qualities To bring the Mini Countryman X-raid to life they have chosen the Cooper S All4 version. To its 2.0-liter turbo petrol block and 192 hp is added its effective all-wheel drive system. Therefore, they have limited themselves to modifying elements such as the suspension and certain chassis adjustments. They have also added new 17-inch alloy wheels. These changes are noticeable, among others, because the ground clearance has increased by 4 centimeters. In terms of decoration, the image of the Mini Countryman X-raid enters the eye. The body is dressed in an exclusive shade and features liveries in the orange color that identifies the X-raid team. The front and rear bumpers also evolve, sporting more generous air intakes and sharper styling lines. To this must be added the arrival of new protections finished in aluminum color. And up to here we can count, because the Countryman X-raid is not a preparation that depends on Mini or BMW. Those responsible for the X-raid preparer have published this information, but not the details that underlie its creation. Therefore, we do not know how much it will cost, how long it takes to make one, and whether the customer has to provide their own Countryman. If you want one, you will have to contact them directly and negotiate.

According to the National Library of the United States, a double chin is the submental fat that forms under the chin from various causes as part of the aging process, weight gain, fluid retention, excessive smoking, or loss of collagen. However, another important cause is due to poor eating habits. Maintaining good posture, cleaning your neck every day, limiting salt intake and the use of sunscreen are several of the recommendations that you can follow.

Coffee in the morning Coffee also has many benefits for the body, such as keeping us awake and energized for longer. Among its most outstanding therapeutic benefits is its diuretic power, quite useful if it is a double chin. This power promotes the elimination of retained fluids, promotes fat burning, and eliminates bloating. It also has detoxifying properties that favors a greater elimination of fat and reduces the unsightly double chin. 4. Eat whole grains According to the aforementioned web portal, following a comprehensive and processed-free diet is a very important measure in controlling body weight and general health. Among the food groups that are most concerned about their effects on increasing body and facial fat are refined carbohydrates, if you want to reduce measures it is important to avoid them and opt for the integral variants. They are a very healthy, nutritious alternative and above all very rich in fiber, essential in metabolism, digestive and intestinal health and in weight loss (including that of the face). 5. Celery Celery is the best ally against double chin, in principle it is characterized by being a very low calorie vegetable with a high water content (about 92% of its composition). Celery is rich in fiber and diuretic, which will help you go to the bathroom better. On the other hand, its potassium content gives it great diuretic benefits and due to its crunchy consistency, chewing it is a good exercise to activate the jaw area and promote the burning of facial fat. 6. Healthy fats Healthy fats are essential for the proper functioning of the body, in particular foods that shine for their content of Omega 3 fatty acids, are related to great benefits to combat inflammation, fluid retention and help regulate sugar levels in the blood. 7.

And in addition to reducing double chin, it helps reduce the dreaded acne.

The polarization of the automotive sector is causing manufacturers to change their tactics when entering the market. Until two decades ago, when a brand wanted to attack a segment or niche, what it did was "copy" the reference model. This we have seen in brands like Lexus, Infiniti or Acura. That tactic is not valid today, and the proof is in how Hyundai's premium firm has evolved in recent years. Genesis came up with great ideas and intentions. Launching the G70, G80 and G90 sedans was the spearhead of their offensive, but there is more. They know that SUVs are the present and, it seems that the future, so they want to offer a very attractive and competitive range. Well, after introducing their first all-road, the GV80, they come back wanting more. The Genesis GV70 will hit the market shortly to destabilize the Bavarian premiums. The attention to detail on the Genesis GV70 strikes high ground If we take a look at the exterior design of the Genesis GV70 we can see the similarities with its older brother. The powerful front that revolves around the “Crest Grille”, inspired by the brand's logo, stands out. Double Quad Lamps headlamps add a touch of originality and dynamism. Finally, it presents a bumper that, depending on the version chosen, has more stylized or sporty lines. The GV70's side view is simpler, though not lacking in character for that. Its lines are fluid and marked, mainly in areas such as the wheel arches, tension lines of the doors or the format of the roof. Without falling into excess, it presents a coupé air that is accentuated by the chrome line that descends to the "C" pillar. All this adorned by large alloy wheels and exclusive design. At the rear the configuration is also similar to that seen on the GV80. As on the front, the Quad Lamps optics are present. The lower area features a bumper decorated with a G-Matrix pattern and a diffuser in the same tone as the body. The exhaust outlets are integrated into it and have a vertical format. As we have mentioned, this configuration is not standard, since the Sport version emphasizes the sportiness of the whole. Inside, the Genesis GV70 offers a minimalist and highly technological design. Three elements stand out in it. First the 12.3-inch configurable digital instrument cluster. Next we have the 14.5-inch central touch screen presiding over the dashboard. Finally, the central area has an oval shape in which the controls for the climate are integrated. Everything, finished off by leather and first-class materials. And so far ... there is still a lot of data missing On a technical level, Hyundai's premium subsidiary does not give data. We know that the GV70 is based on a variation of the platform used by the G70, but we do not know how they have adjusted it. Therefore, it is to be understood that the mechanical range will be shared with him, although interesting news could also arrive. His arrival in the US is scheduled for next year 2021, so it won't take long for us to have more information. What we do know is that premium Bavarians will be sweating from all their pores. Too bad Genesis has no plans to release it in Europe.

5 servings of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, quality protein such as that provided by fish, lean meats, eggs, dairy products ... Legumes, natural nuts, extra virgin olive oil, and avoid foods with an excessive supply of sugars or saturated fat. Is it possible to eat well without dieting? Yes, we have all the ingredients at hand, but we often forget. Natalia Ramos, Nutritional Development and Education Manager at Angulas Aguinaga, emphasizes this aspect, because not only do we have to eat well in summer, when it seems that we notice the changes more and want to take better care of ourselves. "The ideal is to follow a healthy diet throughout the year and adapt it a little in summer to help us fight the heat and be well hydrated. You have to bet on a balanced diet, in which there are 5 servings of fruits and vegetables, choose whole grains, quality protein such as that provided by fish, lean meats, eggs, dairy ... Include legumes, natural nuts, extra virgin olive oil, and avoid foods with an excessive supply of sugars or saturated fats ", tells us Sport and Life. Summer menu: multiple options "In this sense, we can prepare cold gazpachos and soups with seasonal fruits and vegetables, legumes in cold recipes and water flavored with fruits or cold infusions to be well hydrated. Krissia bars become a perfect complement for the consumption of protein from fish at this time of year when we are looking for quick, easy to prepare and tasty dishes. Seafood also fits great in all kinds of recipes: octopus, mussels, prawns, they have a good protein content, omega 3, vitamins like B12 , which contributes to the normal function of the immune system, iron, which helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, and iodine, which plays a role in the proper maintenance of the skin, "he adds. Salads, better during the day or at night? "Salads are one of the most consumed dishes in summer, because of their practicality, freshness and because, if we combine ingredients of good nutritional quality, they become very complete and healthy dishes. We can include endless ingredients, a green base: lettuce , lamb's lettuce, escarole, spinach, sprouts ... accompany with other vegetables such as tomatoes, carrots, beets, fruits, natural nuts and complete with a quality protein such as Krissia bars. An ideal dressing is extra virgin olive oil with spices and aromatic herbs, or a natural yogurt, to try new combinations, to finish, we can add some seeds ", he remembers. "You can have salad regardless of the time, always within a well-planned and personalized menu in terms of distribution of meals and schedules. In the case of dinners, the ideal is to allow enough time before going to sleep to give time to make a correct digestion and rest better. In the event that we include some food that is heavier or that raw foods cause us bloating, it is better to take them at earlier hours, "he says. Is it true that eating pasta at night hurts us? "Carbohydrates are necessary for our body as are proteins and fats, all of them provide us with the daily energy we need. In the case of cereals and derivatives, such as pasta, it is recommended to choose whole varieties that have a better nutritional quality and a greater amount of fiber. Ideally, accompany it with vegetables and complement with protein to create a complete dish. As for the schedule, it can be included in the planning of the menu both in the meal and in the dinner, the important thing is to maintain a balance with the rest of the meals and activities carried out during the day, and leave enough time between dinner and bedtime to digest correctly and rest better ", highlights the expert. Is rice a 'good' food to relax and sleep better? "Rice mainly provides carbohydrates, necessary along with proteins and fats to get daily energy. The feeling of satiety or" being full "may be the reason why many believe that eating rice at night helps relax or make us sleep better. But the key to sleep well is to prepare simple recipes that do not leave us feeling heavy and allow enough time to pass before going to sleep. In addition to avoiding stimulating drinks or activities that keep us alert in those final hours of the day. In our daily meal planning, we can include a dinner with brown rice, a good base of steamed or stir-fried vegetables, and complete with a quality protein like Krissia. " How many more colors in our food, the better? "The different colors on the plate are a sign of the variety of ingredients in our recipes. Fruits, vegetables, vegetables, fish, meat, nuts, spices ... provide different colors, textures and flavors, but also a large amount of nutrients that are They complement each other. For example, Krissia bars add color to dishes, making them more attractive and palatable, but they are also a source of protein and omega 3 from fish, vitamin B12 and selenium, helping to complete and balance our diet ". Canned animal protein, for example, has a very bad press, such as cans of tuna, sardines, preserves, etc., fish sticks, surimi ... What do you think? When talking about processed we tend to think negatively, but we must change this perception and pay attention to the nutritional content. In this sense, Krissia bars are a natural source of good quality fish protein, as they are made from fillets of Alaska pollock, a fish from the cod family. They are also a natural source of omega 3 EPA and DHA, essential in functions such as the heart, as well as in the brain and vitamin B12, present only in foods of animal origin. In addition, they are low in saturated fat and sugar and do not contain preservatives or artificial colors. Therefore, they are a perfect option to include in the diet, becoming a complement to the consumption of fish, since the consumption of the category of fish among the Spanish po[CENSORED]tion is much lower than that recommended by nutrition experts ", he tells us . What would be the key advice to not gain weight in summer? During the summer there are many plans such as trips, beach, swimming pool, dinners or events with friends and, although this year is going to be a little different, we all want to make the most of them. Enjoying the plans is not at odds with continuing to maintain healthy habits, it just takes a little planning, take advantage of seasonal products in simple recipes and limit excesses to specific moments. It is also key to continue to maintain a regular physical exercise routine and adapt it to the schedules and environmental conditions of summer, especially when talking about hydration.

Low-res photos from Motorcycle.com show the new 2021 Kawasaki ZX-10R and ZX-10RR. The first thing you notice is that the fairing of both versions has adopted the H2 Ninja style, which the ZX-6R already has, with the prominent spoiler and integrated Ram Air intake. The headlights are smaller than in the current model and incorporate LED technology, and the turn signals are still integrated into the mirrors. Both the chassis and subframe, as well as the suspensions (Showa BFF fork) and, like the brakes (Brembo calipers), seem to be - apparently, given the low quality of the photos - the same as in the previous versions. Yes, you can see a new instrumentation by TFT screen and it is logical to assume that the electronics will have been updated. Powers similar to the current ones According to Motorcycle, Kawasaki submitted the data to Australia's Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Cities and Regional Development in August, with a request that the information be embargoed until November 1. The presentation of both models will be on November 23, from which it follows that in August it was planned that the presentation would be earlier. The data recorded for the Kawasaki ZX-10R and ZX-10RR 2021 show similar powers to the previous models, but at different revs: if the same 200 hp at 13,200 rpm are declared in the ZX-10R 2021 (13,500 rpm in 2020) , in the ZX-10RR the figure is 201 hp, but at 14,000 rpm (previously 204 hp at 13,500 rpm). The similarity of figures, despite being homologated for Euro5, indicates changes in the engine. Those who expected a ZX-10RR with 215-220 hp will be somewhat disappointed, but we could still see a very special KRT version later.
