  1. The Nissan Leaf was one of the first high-volume electric cars to hit the market. The first generation was introduced to the world ten years ago now and, except for the Peugeot iOn, Citroën C-Zero and Mitsubishi i-MiEV, there wasn't much else to choose from. After him, the Tesla models or the Renault Zoe or BMW i3 arrived en masse. However, none have had the impact that the Japanese product did. Now, those responsible for the brand announce a piece of information that their investors will like. Yes, because the development of the first Nissan Leaf was a great challenge in terms of resources and engineering capacity. The second installment was not far from the precepts that the public liked, although it substantially improved its technical virtues. All this has meant that its sales volume, globally, has reached the magical figure of 500 thousand units. The 500 thousand unit of the Nissan Leaf has gone to Norway Yes, the cumulative production of the Nissan Leaf has reached half a million units. The factory that for all these years has been entrusted to this task is the one that the Japanese firm has in Sunderland (United Kingdom). Of this amount, we know that about 200 thousand correspond to the second generation, so we can say that the success of this has been higher than that of its predecessor. To celebrate this milestone, Nissan has sent an official press release stating what the future of this special unit is. Contrary to what we might think, it has not ended up in his museum, but has ended up in the garage of some Norwegian clients. Maria Jansen is the brand new owner of the unit in question, who has made a statement about the reason for her purchase and has posed with him at the dealership. According to her words ... “My husband and I decided to buy a Nissan Leaf in 2018 and we loved it” […] “We are very excited to become the proud owners of the 500,000th Nissan Leaf. This car really meets our needs with extended range and improved technologies. " But in addition, this situation becomes even more special on the day that such figure was reached. To be more exact, in the celebration of World VE Day. All in all, we can only congratulate Nissan for its courage and bravery and customers for making it a world leader.
  2. When we refer to a processed food, it can be a packaged fruit puree, with preservatives, artificial flavor and color, in addition to a large amount of sugar; Nuggets filled with artificial ingredients for flavor; machine lemonade that the least it contains is lemon. We live in an age where we are so exposed to junk food that it is very difficult not to be tempted to eat something ultra processed. The important thing is to create awareness, do an analysis at the end of the day and identify if 80% of the food we consume was clean, it is a matter of maintaining a balance. Some health professionals are concerned about people who go to extremes, causing the obsession to eat clean, which leads them to suffer from the condition of orthorexia, an exaggerated concern about eating healthy, ending with eating disorders and serious health problems. At this time, measure and prudence enter. I have been practicing clean eating for many years, it is already part of my lifestyle, but like all Puerto Ricans, I like chinchorreo with family and friends, this is part of our culture. As I said before, it is a matter of balance. Take care, for you and yours. Tips for starting a clean diet: *He prefers whole foods (fruits, meats, fish, lean meats). *Avoid processed foods (packages with a huge list of ingredients). *Plan your meals for the day (in this way you program your mind). *Do not wait to be very hungry (avoid eating the first thing you see). *Avoid counting calories (look at the nutrients in food). *Enjoy and savor what you eat (focus on the food and not on the cell phone or TV). *Provide your body with what it really needs (nutrients and micronutrients). *Avoid foods with chemicals (your body works harder to protect you from them). *Season with herbs, natural spices, and chemical-free seasonings. *Listen to your body (if you don't like some food, even if it's healthy, don't eat it). I have been practicing clean eating for many years, it is already part of my lifestyle, but like all Puerto Ricans, I like chinchorreo with family and friends, this is part of our culture. As I said before, it is a matter of balance. Take care, for you and yours.
  3. The crisis caused by the diesel scandal has turned the automotive sector upside down. If the Volkswagen Group had not been caught red-handed, the evolution towards more sustainable energy would have been slower. However, the German consortium is not the only one that has been directly or indirectly involved in a situation like her. However, the consequences are paid by the customer. One of them is the reduction of the ranges of many manufacturers. Certain models were born at a time when "anything was worth" and after the crisis their position in the market is at least questionable. One of those that could be seen on the tightrope is the Skoda Kodiaq RS, one of the most radical SUVs on the market. The problem is that the pillars on which its essence rests go against the market: it is diesel and its emissions are high. The opportunity for the Skoda Kodiaq RS could be in the electricity According to various sources, including Autocar, the Skoda Kodiaq RS will have no future as we know it today. Apparently, the British media would have echoed an official statement where it indicates it. In addition, they also point out that there will be certain adjustments in the product catalog. However, this note does not indicate that the Kodiaq RS is going to disappear forever, but that there will be an impasse until an alternative arrives. Apparently, this would come when the Kodiaq receives the relevant mid-cycle restyling. Taking into account the evolution of the manufacturer towards alternative energies, we might think that a plug-in hybrid version will await you. However, according to statements made by Alain Favey, the brand's head of sales and marketing, this would not be the case. The reason given is that a Kodiaq PHEV is not planned for now. But it seems that, although it helps to reduce emissions and consumption, using the powertrain that gives life to the Octavia RS iV is not in the brand's plans. The explanation could be in the arrival of a gasoline version, although we have already seen preparations like ABT's. We will have to be very attentive to the news that may arrive, because it will soon be four years old and should receive its well-deserved update. Let's be patient.
  4. This is not the correct section for your request.
  5. The arrival of globalization brought about a change in the lifestyle of all people. A sedentary lifestyle and poor diet have caused a greater number of cases of obesity, hypertension and diabetes, among other diseases. For this reason, it is crucial to have a correct diet from childhood. Here the role of highchairs for babies comes into play, since, thanks to them, the child can sit comfortably to eat and take food without any problem. Without a doubt, it is an essential element for adequate infant feeding. In Baby High Chair Online you can find different models of high chairs so that the user can choose the one that best suits the needs of their child. The importance of a balanced diet in childhood It is essential that minors have a correct diet during childhood so that they can protect themselves from possible diseases. On the other hand, the fact that children eat a balanced diet will determine the pillars of a healthy lifestyle for life. It is important to become aware of the term "healthy" and avoid po[CENSORED]r myths and beliefs about food. Despite this, sometimes there are families who cannot carry out this lifestyle due to lack of time to eat or practice sports, insufficient financial resources or a low educational level. In this sense, the socioeconomic level has an important impact on a person's lifestyle. In general, the most common mistakes in children's diets are caused by eating more calories than is advisable and by eating large amounts of saturated fat and protein. If these mistakes are made during childhood, it can trigger overweight and obesity problems in children. For this reason, it is so important to avoid them at all costs. Also, it is considered a mistake to eat few vegetables and carbohydrates or eat large amounts of salt and sugar. After all, all of this can lead to dental problems and psychomotor and nutritional disorders. Not to mention that a poor intake of fiber can cause constipation. Feeding before the first year of life The baby is in continuous development. Therefore, it is crucial that parents are able to provide their child with proper nutrition. For the first six months, the baby should be fed breast milk. However, after six months, it is essential to start with complementary feeding. When this time comes, parents do not know whether to offer their child traditional food or opt for an innovative method called baby led-weaning. Traditional food refers to purees and grinding. On the other hand, the baby led-weaning method encourages the autonomy of the little one, since it is the child who takes the food with her hands to put it in her mouth. Undoubtedly, this novel method is putting traditional food in check, since, thanks to baby led-weaning, children can discover the different textures, tastes and smells that soft foods have at their fingertips. Furthermore, they can learn to identify for themselves when they are full and when they are not. Not to mention that it favors the child's psychomotor development. In this sense, it is important to note that the highchair has always played an important role in feeding children, but with the baby led-weaning method even more so. The high chair offers safety and comfort to the little one. Also, it allows the child to grasp food easily. At the same time, it has an integrating function, since, thanks to the high chair, the baby can enjoy the moment of meal with her relatives and learn from them. Feeding from the first year of life When the child is between one and three years old, it is important that the foods he eats are healthy, since in this period is when eating habits are built. Also, you have to respect the satiety and hunger of the child. Regarding the stage between three and seven years, it is important that the food is healthy, complete and varied. Likewise, sex, age, weight, health status… must be taken into account to determine the most appropriate diet for the little one. Although it is also recommended that the child eat foods with different textures, flavors and colors to avoid becoming selective with the food. On the other hand, between the ages of seven and fourteen it is advisable to eat legumes two or three times a week. In addition, it is advisable that vegetables and greens are present in the daily meal. Similarly, minors should drink two glasses of milk a day or consume four yogurts a day, as this will be beneficial for bone development. Finally, it is essential to include an intake of preferably white meats and blue and white fish in the diet two or three times a week.
  6. The Hamamatsu brand is celebrating. This year 2020 marks the first centenary of the founding of the company, which has led Suzuki to create a special and limited edition of its superbike, the Suzuki GSX-R1000R. This edition will only sell 20 numbered units in the Spanish market. The first thing to note is that this limited version uses the same retro colors on its fairing as the MotoGP GSX-RR. In the World Cup, the Spanish Alex Rins and Joan Mir compete with her. As you know, it wears the blue and silver tones, with which it pays tribute to the first motorcycles with which the brand competed in the great prizes during the 60s. Suzuki Spain comments that this limited edition of its Suzuki GSX-R1000R will be available in the month of November, with a price of 22,895 euros which includes a three-year warranty and Premium roadside assistance. Yes, it is not exactly an economic price, but we already know the figures in which these 1,000 cc supercars move. for a few years. As for the technical part, we must remember that this is a motorcycle whose heart is a block of 1,000 cubic centimeters of four strokes and four cylinders. This bike develops 202 hp for 202 kilos of weight. Of course, the transmission is 6-speed. In the front end we are received by an inverted telescopic hydraulic fork. Meanwhile, at the rear it uses, as usual, a hydraulic monoshock with connecting rods. The fuel tank capacity is 16 liters. Finally, the approved consumption is 5.9 l / 100 km, although in real life it will be some more.

  9. Life as a couple, based on trust and love, provides both physical and emotional benefits. As an example of this, the Spanish Heart Foundation says that the risks of suffering from cardiovascular diseases are reduced if there are constant acts and words of affection in the conjugal environment. On the other hand, the Association for Psychological Sciences of the United States assures that living happily with a couple reduces the chances of dying in the next eight years compared to single people or those who live in conflict. For Clara Lucía Valderrama, a member of the Herbalife Nutrition advisory board of dietitians, having an active and healthy life is a goal that is easier to achieve if you have a good life partner by your side. “At the time of making the decision to make changes in lifestyle, the couple can be key to supporting and helping to achieve the proposed goals. Studies show that with the support of other people you can be more constant in your activities, ”he says. According to the study “The Influence of Partner’s Behavior on Health Behavior Change”, adopting healthy habits, such as increasing physical activity, eating balanced or losing up to 5% overweight, is easier in the company of a partner. The document also reveals that putting aside practices such as smoking is easier if you have the support of your romantic partners. Now, on the side of healthy eating, the benefits are not short. Starting with the quality time that is gained by carrying out activities such as designing menus together that respond to the needs and tastes of each one, making the list and the market together, preparing food so that its intake is more satisfactory and sharing in the time of consumption. According to the specialist, this helps to correct errors in diet, excesses of less nutritious foods and to include those that provide more nutrients. Likewise, portions and schedules can be established, seeking the greatest benefit for both. Accepting this type of healthy eating routines not only generates notable external changes, but also internally stimulates a series of hormones that generate positive effects in couples such as endorphin, which is the hormone of happiness; oxytocin, which is that of love; dopamine, which is motivation; and serotonin, which is that of tranquility. These are the four most important hormones to find balance in the relationship. If people experience the sensations that these secretions produce, they may become more attracted to each other. Valderrama's keys to stimulate greater segregation of this type of substances consist of, “the consumption of dark chocolate with a minimum of 70% cocoa content can help increase endorphins. The consumption of nuts, such as walnuts and almonds, is associated with the production of serotonin. And physical activity has the benefit of helping to increase dopamine and serotonin levels, giving a feeling of well-being ”, he explains. On the other hand, you have to be careful when starting a coexistence as a couple, since according to a study by the University of Newcastle at this stage the two try to adapt to the other's way of eating and this can cause some problems, since each body is different and has its own particular needs. Research also shows that one of the consequences of this is that women tend to gain weight, given the increase in fat and calorie intake due to the eating habits of men, otherwise theirs, who usually start to lower their size, since the diet of women has a high percentage of fruits and vegetables. For this, experts recommend taking into account four important aspects: respect is essential to achieve a stable relationship, since you have to learn to accept the other's choices; Also, it is important to reach an agreement and to achieve this, cooking between the two can be an option, as well as ordering food in a restaurant where there is a menu for the taste of both; Commitment is another important key, since if one has restrictions or an eating style such as vegetarianism, the other person should not feel excluded with the menu that is prepared; and communication is an important aspect when making the market, so as not to leave the preferences of the other aside. In general, a balanced diet, with an adequate supply of proteins, vitamins and minerals, helps to stimulate the secretion of these substances. Taking into account that we are in the Month of Love and Friendship, the nutritionist Clara Valderrama suggests this menu option to couples so that they can begin to have a more active and healthy lifestyle. For starters, an avocado mousse with mini whole grain toast. For the main course, grilled salmon with sautéed vegetables drizzled with sesame seeds and a Creole potato puree. The dessert, to raise the level of endorphins, can be a semi-bitter chocolate fondue, strawberries, banana and gooseberry. All this can be accompanied with a good glass of red wine.
  10. It may sound like a lie, but the Lamborghini Aventador has been on sale since 2011. Many of you might think that a nine-year commercial cycle for such a vehicle is a long time, but there are exceptions. A generalist compact "to use" is not the same as a supercar. And you will wonder why? Very simple, the competition and transience of the first have nothing to do with what niche models have to endure. To this we must add that products like the Aventador are focused on a very specific and select audience. But there is more since the technological and quality evolution through which the Italian model has passed has allowed it to reach our days. Thus, it is not strange that Lamborghini is celebrating, because with the Aventador they have reached a milestone that is rarely seen in firms where production is so limited. Production of the Lamborghini Aventador started in 2011 Indeed, the production of the Lamborghini Aventador has reached the magical figure of 10 thousand units. The version that signs such a magical figure is an SVJ Roadster in Grigio (gray) with red and black details on its bodywork. Contrary to what might be thought, this unit will not go to the private collection of the brand. In fact, it is scheduled to reach the Thai market where its brand new owner will be looking forward to it. All in all, the history of the Lamborghini Aventador still has several pages to write. It is no longer just that model that came with a carbon fiber monocoque chassis that combined the floor, the cabin and the roof. Now it has versions as radical and special as the SVJ that embodies this celebration. Its future is still unknown but it could represent a turning point for the brand and its technological level. The saddest point is that your V12 block could be gone forever. Emission regulations are very strict and even a firm like the Italian one is forced to comply with them. Therefore, it could stop roaring under its hood to offer another combination where electricity will play a leading role. However, we will have to wait to find out what his future is. Meanwhile, let's celebrate that its production has already exceeded 10 thousand units.
  11. Being healthy not only means taking care of your physical appearance, but the immune system, well-being and mental health are just as important. Follow these tips to get there. Before the pandemic, people had already evaluated changing their eating habits, not just because of fashion; but to lead a healthier lifestyle that combines a balanced diet and the practice of physical exercises. Added to this, in recent months, FAO has invited the po[CENSORED]tion to have a healthy and conscious diet to strengthen their immune system. In that sense, 4 out of 10 Colombians have switched to a healthy version of their favorite product, according to a Nielsen study. To this, Nelson Molano, general manager of Dairy Pomar pointed out, “the pandemic situation caused by the covid-19 motivated Colombians to look for foods that protect their immune system and that in turn are rich and healthy. They combine this with some sports practice at home and in outdoor spaces to protect not only physical health, but also mental health ”. In this line of ideas, the Spanish Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in its study on food and sport concluded that people who started some practice reduced some foods such as sausages and began to choose those with nutritional values. The study adds that maintaining a balanced diet and doing some type of training will not only bring people closer to the desired goal; it will also improve your physical performance. Therefore, it is important to include a good combination of carbohydrates, proteins and non-trans fats. Before that, know the nutritional recommendations if you do sports: - Do some type of physical activity of your choice, be it a brisk walk around your neighborhood or swing your hips to the beat of your favorite song. This will allow you to stay active, energetic and have a greater sense of well-being. -Balance your diet and moderate your food intake if you exercise less. Include at least an average of five fruits and vegetables, plus nuts and two liters of water to help control anxiety. -If you consume vegetable drinks, these will provide you with vitamin B, which favors the metabolism. Containing soluble and insoluble fiber, it protects the wall of the intestine. - You can hydrate with a glass of milk after exercise. This is composed of 88% water, it is also considered one of the most complete foods that exist by providing our body with potassium, vitamins and calcium. -If you consume vegetable drinks, these will provide you with vitamin B, which favors the metabolism.

  12. The resurgence of the Citroën C4 has been a turning point for the signing of the double chevron. We all expected them to return to the compact segment offering a formula similar to that seen in their rivals. However, continuing with the tradition that has brought them here, they have decided to create a totally new model. Or rather, it is a mixture of concepts that, like it or not, is increasingly spreading throughout the market. In any case, it is logical that Citroën has taken this path, and more so when it also has to compete with Opel. The merger with the FCA Group will make things even more complicated, but we will have to see what happens with Fiat and the rest of the firms that comprise it. However, if you like the new C4 and its electric version ë-C4 you are in luck, because it is already available in the brand's configurator. Take a look and think about which one you want ... The Citroën C4 and ë-C4 will leave the factory that PSA has in Villaverde You may like the aesthetics of the new Citroën C4 and ë-C4 more or less, but we Spaniards should be very proud of it. The PSA Group has relied on the factory they have in Villaverde (Madrid) to manufacture it worldwide. Therefore, it is vital that its commercial performance is good, or very good, if we want the center to stay alive for many more years and the thousands of jobs that exist are not lost. For this reason, it has configured a range that stands out for offering a high level of technology and customization. Thus, the equipment possibilities are structured in two levels called Feel and Shine. Both are known in other Citroën products, such as the C3 and C5 AirCross. For those looking for more, they can optionally access the Pack version that improves the endowment of the base finishes. Thus, the Feel finish equips two-zone automatic climate control, suspension with hydraulic progressive dampers or lumbar adjustment of the driver's seat. In addition, it incorporates rear parking aid, ECO LED lights or LED front fog lights. The Feel Pack version adds Citroën Connect Nav, Head-Up Display, rear view camera, Advanced Comfort seats or 18-inch alloy wheels. Finally, the Shine finish represents the top of the range. Thus, the C4 and ë-C4 incorporate functions such as wireless charging for the amartphone, Active Safety Brake system assisted by camera plus radar or recognition of traffic signs. There will also be no shortage of SmartBeam smart headlights, front parking aid, the blind spot surveillance system or Highway Driver Assist. Official prices for the C4 and ë-C4 in Spain Taking into account the wide possibilities of equipment and configuration, the official prices for Spain are as follows. These rates will have to subtract the possible aid and discounts that the commercial network may apply in each case. Still, it won't take long to see lower priced units. Have you decided on yours? Well, go to the brand configurator because you will not lack ideas.
  13. There is no single diet, much less miraculous, and that is why we propose different techniques to lose weight Both men and women have been involved in the desire to want to lose weight, this leads them to resort to unhealthy diets under extreme methods where they not only reduce their meals but also their energy. That is why today we invite you to learn 12 steps to lose weight without starving. First of all, it is important that you know that there is no single diet, much less miraculous, on the contrary, stay away from those diets that suggest you lose weight in 1 or 2 weeks. This in many cases causes health problems or the so-called "rebound effect" which will prevent you from obtaining the desired result. It is important to be clear that to lose weight you have to evaluate your lifestyle and eating habits, since if you want to reduce measures you must make a commitment to yourself and change or improve the habits that you practice in the wrong way, generating those undesirable "rolls". In the same way, you should consider listening to your body, knowing it and really knowing how it works so that you understand better, what are you doing wrong? And what is best for you? In such a way that you can achieve the ideal weight for you. What is a healthy diet? Sometimes people tend to resort to different extremist diets that are based on only the consumption of liquids, protein diets or incur the use of "slimming" products, supplements, among other "magic" elements that claim to reduce measures in a short time. Perhaps you felt identified with the previous one and it is likely that you have not achieved the goal you wanted to achieve or you could not maintain it over time. That is why nutrition experts recommend a balanced and healthy diet, free of artificial components, as well as stop following diets that increase your anxiety levels and alter the body by reducing food intake in the wrong way. A diet is the way to create a routine where the consumption of the food groups is classified, formulated and regulated in the appropriate amounts, maintaining a balance with respect to the levels of energy, vitamins, nutrients and minerals that are necessary for functioning optimal of our body. According to this, the diet goes beyond just removing food from daily consumption, in reality it is about having a proper eating habit and like any habit to forge it must be constant. For its part, a healthy diet corresponds to the intake of the correct foods and the correct portions. No food is really bad, just that it may be low in nutritional content or not suitable for your diet in case you want to lose weight. Diet types There are several types of diet of which each of them is adapted to the lifestyle that the person wishes to lead, their health status also influences which diet is more feasible. Vegan diet. Vegetarian diet. Mediterranean diet. Diet to lose weight Within this there is a variety that focuses on reducing certain foods that generate greater accumulation of fat. Hypo caloric diet. Low fat diet. Low carbohydrate diet. Diet to gain weight. A study carried out by Dr. Adriana Fadiño points out that the best diet to lose weight is based on a balanced diet, but for this, the physical conditions, age, stage of development and state of health must be taken into account. find the person. In the same way, it highlights that to consider a healthy diet all food groups must be involved. How to reduce the accumulation of fat? Before starting a diet to lose weight you must know and understand how the fat that accumulates in the body is generated and the so-called "chubby" or "love handles" are created. As you know, the body needs energy for its proper functioning and this is obtained from a wide variety of foods. When you have a lot of energy and it is not used, adipose tissue begins to form and this is reserved in case the body is subjected to an emergency. So when you go to diets in which you stop eating dinner or any other meal, you will be accustoming the body to the fact that every time you stop perceiving food, it will have to produce more adipose tissue, thus forming more fat that accumulates in unwanted areas and form the "rolls". 5 meals a day In such a way that by regularly eating about 5 meals a day the body will understand that it should not produce so much adipose tissue. In addition, the accumulation of fat is also influenced by the increase in glucose in the blood that in turn increases the production of the hormone insulin that stimulates the manufacture and storage of fat. It must be understood that cells need energy to function and energy is created from the intake of glucose found in different foods. Glucose works together with insulin so that it can enter cells in this way. So if you want to lose weight you should take into account reducing the consumption of sugar and carbohydrates, since glucose is found in them and therefore the greater the amount of this, more insulin will be needed and the amount of fat in the body will increase. 12 steps to lose weight Energy: It should be understood that the body needs energy, but you have to have a balance in the diet to have the appropriate energy levels. Exercise: In case you exercise, your body will need a greater amount of energy and therefore more glucose.

Juices (juices): Specialists recommend the consumption of whole fruit especially if you want to lose weight because juices (juices) usually require other elements, including sugar, in case of ingesting it is natural (without sugar). Lifestyle: It is important to know that what helps a person the most to lose weight is their lifestyle. Meals: Doctors and nutritionists recommend the intake of at least 5 meals a day instead of just 3 times, in this way the body remains active. Remembering the low carbohydrate intake. Dairy: You should eliminate the consumption of any type of milk if you want to reduce measures. Sweetener: Avoid high consumption of stevia or sucrose, although it does not increase glucose levels, its consumption can be counterproductive for health. State of health: It is important to take into account the state of health in which you are, since there are diseases that stimulate the storage of fat.

  14. The development and commercial launch of the MC20 has been a point and a part for Maserati. The firm of the trident, belonging to the FCA Group, needs to recover the land that firms such as Audi, BMW or Mercedes-Benz have stolen from it in recent years. For this, it has opted to create an attractive range of models that is capable of stealing the hearts of a greater number of customers. And be careful, they could get it ... The official presentation of the MC20 has "opened the season" for Maserati to release new releases. One of the most anticipated has to do with the arrival of an SUV that is positioned below the Levante. We have already talked about it for a long time, but it has not been until now that we have known its name, and something else. Yes, because part of its model has been leaked and we already know what the basic lines that will shape its body are. The Maserati Grecale could be based on the Alfa Romeo Stelvio We refer to the Maserati Grecale. This model has long been in the plans that the FCA Group has for the Italian house. However, the financial troubles he's been through have set him back. Now, it is the firm itself that releases a teaser in which they show their official trade name and hint at part of the design that their range will wear. However, our friends at Autospias.net have made an even more valuable image. A snapshot in which we can see the naked model of the new Maserati Grecale. This model, which according to those responsible for the brand has been developed entirely by them, should help Levante to increase the number of customers of the brand. However, a question arises that we still cannot resolve: will it be developed on the Alfa Romeo Stelvio platform or will it be a self-created base? If we take a look at the model, everything indicates that it could make use of the Giorgio base. However, the message that accompanies the teasers on social networks has a clear intention ... And if the final design is similar to what we see, its silhouette will have a strong coupe character. Now, it will be necessary to see if the mechanical offer and the quality of its interior are at the height of what its rivals offer. Its arrival is not scheduled until 2021 so there will be very little to wait. Taking into account these deadlines we will soon have new data, although if another leak arrives it will not make us very angry either.
  15. Preventive measures against the coronavirus are important but so is having a strong immune system so, in case of infection, to be able to defeat the virus more strongly. "The practice of regular physical exercise and having a healthy and balanced diet are two measures that can be adopted and that positively affect the immune system", explains to CuídatePlus, Ángel Durántez, pioneer in Spain of Age Management Medicine, graduated in Medicine and Surgery from the Autonomous University of Madrid and which he has just published in La Esfera de los Libros Joven al 100. Specifically, with regard to physical activity, “a single exercise session produces a temporary immunosuppression and strengthens the immune system.” Regarding a healthy diet, the expert advises an increase in vitamin D and Omega 3 acids, which , he assures, have a positive impact. "The idea is that the stronger we are, the better prepared we will be to defeat any type of infection", explains the expert. In his book, Durántez aims to publicize and introduce in society "a new medical concept that transcends reactive medicine to cure sick people and that focuses on prevention medicine." According to this new concept, the patient is not a patient but a healthy user, and not only the doctor participates in their care, but many other professionals such as sports coaches, nutritionists or psychologists, all of them with the ultimate aim of promoting health. . Among the advice Durántez offers to improve general health and live to be 100 years young, there are three fundamental ones: Have a positive attitude, exercise and improve your diet. “A positive attitude towards life is fundamental, although today it is one of the most difficult things to achieve. Having a positive attitude to withdraw from worries or things that afflict us is difficult but it can be achieved and it is key that people stop, reflect and see life positively ”. His advice is "to abstract from fears and value that we live in a great country." Physical activity is the second of the pillars highlighted by the expert. "We have to move much more than we do," he warns. The expert recalls that there are minimums established by the World Health Organization (WHO) and that would be the basis: "Five weekly walks of at least 30 minutes each, at a speed that allows us to speak but with shortness of breath , that is, at a brisk pace ”. In the book, Durántez insists on the idea that “physical exercise is the cheapest polypill in the world” and insists that “if people exercised, the use of medications as frequent as antidepressants, cholesterol-lowering, antihypertensive, anxiolytic, hypnotic or hypoglycemic drugs would be significantly reduced ”. The problem, he regrets, is that "currently people prefer to take a pill rather than move and that must be changed." For this reason, he proposes to start with the minimums of the WHO and to increase this activity to the rest of the actions that we do daily and include, in addition, two toning sessions a week, whenever possible. Another tip is "be more active at work." If he is sedentary, he advises getting up half an hour before to do an exercise table or doing it every so often if we are sitting for a long time at work. He also advises "stretching or joining a group class, to compensate for the hours of sedentary lifestyle at work." They are small changes that improve a lot. Necessary micronutrients The next factor that he considers key is diet. Durántez is aware that achieving a healthy and balanced diet in these times is "very difficult because it is hardly cooked and we no longer go to the markets to buy fresh products, but we buy everything in large supermarkets and packaging". According to him, "we tend to choose a lot of ultra-processed products, which are the first to avoid." In addition to this, and still eating a balanced diet, Durántez says that "we do not reach the optimal levels of certain fundamental micronutrients for the body and in many of them we do not even reach the minimum requirements." Such is the case of omega 3s, vitamin D and some types of vitamin B. As Durántez details, "omega 3 levels are low, something that especially affects people's attitudes," he reports. "There are studies done in po[CENSORED]tions confined in the Netherlands in which it has been seen that an insufficient intake of omega 3 in the diet translates into an increase in aggressiveness." This is just one example of the importance of these micronutrients for the po[CENSORED]tion but that, on many occasions, such as vitamin D, cannot be obtained through the diet, so it would be advisable to use food supplements depending on the deficiencies of each one of the users. All these tips serve to improve the immune system and also for the prevention of diseases as frequent as diabetes or hypertension, in fact, these are two of the pathologies that increase the risk of complications in case of infection by the new coronavirus. Of the five major diseases related to aging (cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, those of the locomotor system, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases), ”these last two pose a high risk against COVD-19. ”, He assures. These diseases, according to the expert, do not appear from one day to the next and can be prevented with a healthy lifestyle. "If smoking disappeared and we returned to the cholesterol levels of primitive man, which are the great deficiencies of modern life, we would be able to increase our healthy life in 20-30 years." His recommendation in these times is: "Be healthy to be less vulnerable."
  16. The Volkswagen Golf GTI is one of those models that many enthusiasts eagerly await whenever there is an update or renovation. As is usual in the Golf, the GTI is not the fastest on the circuit or the one that transmits the best sporting sensations, but it achieves that balance between discretion, performance and usability on a day-to-day basis. It has been several months since Volkswagen presented the eighth generation of the Golf GTI. However, for some reasons or others, the German brand had not started the commercialization of this compact sports car in our country, having done it a few days ago in Germany. We already have the price of the new GTI for Spain. How much does the desired compact with the mythical acronym GTI cost? If you want a new GTI, you have to scratch your pocket Volkswagen begins marketing the eighth generation of the Volkswagen Golf GTI with its 245 hp version and DSG gearbox. This variant has a starting price that is not suitable for all pockets. You have to pay 42,290 euros according to the official rate, so it seems like a somewhat expensive car. In any case, for several generations it has not been a precisely affordable model, even in non-sports Volkswagen Golfs. On the other hand, VW claims that it will later be available with the six-speed manual transmission, which will allow them to lower the starting price of their new GTI. We estimate that this manual version will be between 40,000 and 40,500 euros, although it is yet to be confirmed. And by the end of the year, the Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport In addition to the "normal" GTI variants, at the end of the year we will be able to acquire the Volkswagen Golf GTI Clubsport, which will be the top of the range. In this case, the well-known 2.0 TSI petrol block increases its power to 300 hp. Yes, it is the same version that we can see in other models of the German manufacturer, such as the Cupra León or the Cupra Ateca, among others. At the moment we do not know the price of the next GTI Clubsport, although it will be noticeably more expensive than the normal GTI. It should be borne in mind that in addition to the 55 extra horses, it will also have components more oriented to sporty driving and on the track, as well as a more radical set-up. It will have better brakes, suspensions, differentiated aesthetics and, most likely, a mechanical limited-slip differential.
  17. High cholesterol is usually one of the most common diagnoses in the world and this value is directly related to people's eating habits. Yes, because by eating a diet rich in saturated fat, the direct consequence will be high levels of cholesterol in the blood. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF HIGH CHOLESTEROL? The Health Line portal begins by explaining what cholesterol is and its function in the body: "It is a type of lipid. It is a waxy substance similar to fat that the liver produces naturally. It is vital for the formation of cell membranes, certain hormones and vitamin D ". But although it is necessary for the body, in excess it can cause very serious cardiovascular problems. In terms of symptoms, the Family Doctor portal states that often the patient does not have noticeable symptoms, only when there is a serious health problem due to high cholesterol. At home, you can start by preparing these natural remedies to detoxify the body and help balance cholesterol levels. Detox juice with carrots You will need to 3 carrots 5 stalks of celery or celery 1/2 cucumber 1 lemon Process First, cut the carrot and celery into sticks. Remove the skin from the lemon and cut the cucumber into slices. Add all the ingredients to the blender and mix for several minutes until a creamy and homogeneous mixture is formed, they explained on the YouTube channel 'Kenia Cocina'. Then strain the juice and it is ready to drink. You can consume it at room temperature or let it cool for a while in the fridge. Oat water You will need to 1 cup oat flakes 2 cups of water Vanilla essence Cinnamon Natural sweetener Process Add the oatmeal to a deep bowl. Then add two cups of water to soak the flakes. Then stir the oatmeal so that it is completely moistened. Let it sit in the fridge overnight or for at least 6 hours. You are going to strain the oats, reserving only the flakes that are already soaked. Then you are going to blend them together with a liter of cold water and a touch of vanilla. You can also add a touch of ground cinnamon, honey, or natural sweetener. After blending, you are going to strain the mixture again and the resulting liquid is the oatmeal water that will help you cleanse the body and balance cholesterol.
  18. They say that "time puts everyone in their place." This saying can be applied, very wisely, to the Volkswagen Golf. The German compact is the mirror where all the firms that aspire to lead the compact segment look. However, its history is so long and successful that few can overshadow it. Now, when the eighth generation debuts, the bet goes up with a higher level of technology, quality and mechanical options. But in addition to improving in all these aspects, it offers a complete range of bodies to suit all customers. First came the hatchback version with five doors, confirming what we all feared, the death of the three-door. Now after a brief hiatus, the versatile Volkswagen Golf 8 Variant and its more playful version, the Alltrack, make an appearance. The latter you already met yesterday, because it leaked ahead of time ... The rear of the Volkswgen Golf 8 Variant improves on its predecessor On an aesthetic level, the differences between the Golf 8 hatchback and the Variant are located on the side and the rear. The front, hood, wings and format of the doors are maintained until reaching the "B" pillar. It is from there when the differences begin because the roof line takes a greater slope. However, it is nothing serious, since the objective is not to endanger the interior height level for the second row of seats. Here we can also see more marked lines of tension, especially in the area of the «C» pillar. This element seems more stretched, as small is the third side window. In addition, there will be no lack of ornaments that bring joy to the whole, especially in this R-Line version. Among the most important, the black pack that covers rims, roof bars, mirror caps or tinted windows. Finally we must take a look behind. Here we find some optical groups identical to those seen in the hatchback version. Even so there are also new features, embodied in the spoiler located on the rear window or the more marked and muscular bumper. Of course, there are plenty of false exhaust exits located in the lower area. All in all, the Volkswagen Golf 8 Variant reaches 4.63 meters in length, that is, 6 centimeters more than before. And the Golf 8 Alltrack you already know, it was leaked yesterday! Along with the Volkswagen Golf 8 Variant has come the alternative for those who do not want an SUV but do not want to give up a country image. We refer to the Alltrack version. Yesterday we had the pleasure of showing it in scoop, because thanks to a leak we knew it ahead of time. As we mentioned, it is based on the family version so it assumes a large part of the interior changes that this version has. Not so in the exterior aesthetics. As you can see, the Golf 8 Alltrack has plastic protections in the lower area of the body. The wheel arches are also safe from minor frictions that may arise on the dirt tracks through which it will be able to navigate. In addition, the daytime lighting signature takes an "X" pattern, the same as we have already seen in the Golf GTI hatchback. In addition, there will be no lack of new alloy wheels or the usual false exhaust outlets. Modern interior design and cavernous capacity trunk As we mentioned before, the Golf 8 Variant is larger than its predecessor's size. This growth also extends to the wheelbase, which this time reaches 2.68 meters. Thanks to this, the space available in the passenger compartment is greater, especially in the level for the legs of the occupants of the second row. According to data provided by the brand, it goes from the previous 90.3 centimeters to 94.1 centimeters. The width and the distance to the ceiling should be identical to the five-door. All in all, the main gain is in load capacity. Now it boasts 611 liters which, with a separating net, increases to 1,642 liters. It also has hooks for bags and fastening rings. This area is complemented by gadgets such as two power outlets, one for 230 volts and the other for 12 volts. Optionally, the gate can be opened hands-free. When will the Golf 8 Variant and Alltrack hit the market? Finally, we have to talk about the mechanical offer of the Volkswagen Golf 8 Variant and Alltrack. The information that the brand has provided is discreet, but the eTSI Mild Hybrid versions will be part of the catalog. In addition, there will also be diesel versions embodied in the 2.0 TDI with 115 and 150 hp respectively. Those that could not be are the Plug-In Hybrid of 204 and 245 hp, as they would reduce the capacity of the trunk. Of course, where there could be surprises is in the arrival of the R sports version with approximately 330 hp. Regarding the available finishes, the range will consist of the finishes: Golf, Life, Style and R-Line. The possibilities of equipment and prices will be known before its arrival on the market, which is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2020.

  20. Fasting is nothing new. In fact, in recent years, intermittent fasting has become po[CENSORED]r in order to detoxify the body or lose extra kilos. Something very different from the idea of doing it in a long way and with remote supervision. Not for nothing did Muñoz's decision unleash so much controversy, to the extent that even the College of Nutritionists denounced her for attacking her followers: “We believe that these types of initiatives promote treatments that have no scientific basis and threaten people's health. ”. Loren Lockman, leader of the Tanglewood Wellness Center and Muñoz's advisor, already enjoyed world fame and the influencer's fast coincided with the premiere of the docurreality For better or for worse (Netflix), where he appears as one of the protagonists in the episode about him. fast. It shows how two people died while being treated at their different centers (the first in the United States and the second in Costa Rica) and how Lockman guides these "diets" without being a doctor or nutritionist by profession. In fact, on the center's website, they describe him as "a talented speaker, an original thinker, a dedicated teacher and coach, and an expert in Healing." Are fasts of any use? Is it possible to detoxify the body by stopping eating for a long time? And most importantly, what are the dangers it entails? Intermittent fasting You can fast without stopping eating for three weeks. One of the most po[CENSORED]r ways to do it is through intermittent fasting, where you stop eating for a limited time, which can be done two days a week or several hours a day. There are even free downloadable applications that guide the process by recommending which foods to break the fast with and congratulating the user when they meet “goals” related to not eating. According to the National Institute on Aging in the United States, there are hundreds of studies in animals and humans that show that intermittent fasting can lead to improved health conditions such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular health, cancer and even neurological disorders. What has not been demonstrated are its long-term effects. There is also no certainty about the benefits that a person of a healthy weight, a minor, or an older adult could obtain, since studies are usually conducted in overweight and middle-aged people. On the other hand, the doctor and Master in Public Health, Monique Tello, writes in the digital magazine of the Harvard Medical School: “There is good scientific evidence that suggests that the circadian rhythm fasting (where you stop eating between 7 in the afternoon and 7 in the morning), when combined with a diet and a healthy lifestyle can have a particular effect on weight loss, especially for people at risk of diabetes. However, people with advanced diabetes or taking medication for diabetes, who have a history of eating disorders, are pregnant or breastfeeding, should not try it without the supervision of a specialist ”. Dana Bortnick, a nutritionist at the INDISA Clinic, adds other benefits: “Generally, there is a weight loss between 2% and 8% of the initial weight in two months, it reduces insulin resistance by reducing blood glucose levels and fasting insulin levels and some studies show a reduction in inflammation markers, although more research is needed on the subject to evaluate this effect ”. Prolonged fasts But of course, a fast lasting a few hours does not attract as much attention as one that lasts almost a full month. Most of these fasts have a low caloric intake, but still food is consumed, the main fruits, vegetables and juices being produced with them. Unlike fasting with only water, here you continue to receive minerals and vitamins, although in low amounts. There are not many studies in relation to these prolonged fasts, but a study by the University of Memphis, published in 2010, studied the health of people who underwent the Daniel Fast, po[CENSORED]r among some evangelical communities, which consists of consuming for 21 days fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and seeds, trying not to exceed 200 calories a day. The study showed that this type of fast was well tolerated in healthy men and women and that it could even improve risk factors for cardiovascular disease, mainly because the short-term effects are positive and those who do it try to maintain them in the long term, so they tend to follow healthy eating habits. "The main risk of prolonged fasting, which is understood as fasting for more than a day, is the Refeeding Syndrome, which is the set of metabolic alterations triggered when people eat again", says Bortnick and adds: "These alterations can become so severe that they can cause death. Other observed effects are irritability, drowsiness, dizziness, hypotension and cardiovascular problems ”. The myth of detox We don't need fasts, diets, or cold-pressed juices to detoxify our bodies. The solution is much simpler and cheaper, since the human body has organs such as the lungs, livers, intestines and kidneys that detoxify the body on a daily basis, without having to consume anything special. Already in 2008, the Harvard University Women's Watch medium warned that restrictive diets and everything that implies a significant decrease in daily caloric intake ends up damaging the metabolism, making it slower and inevitably causing that once the diet is finished, it stops. a dreaded weight rebound. "The detox programs that are promoted to the public are do-it-yourself procedures that seek to eliminate these alleged toxins responsible for a variety of symptoms, including headaches, swelling, joint pain, fatigue and depression," the article explains. “Detox products are not available with a prescription; they are sold in retail stores, in spas, on the internet and by mail order. Many are touted as useful for detoxifying specific organs or systems, while others would be purifying for the whole body, "he adds. Still, during a detox people usually feel better, more energetic, and able to maintain a healthy sleep cycle. But this is because highly processed foods, fried foods and food that, in general, we should eat rarely and not as part of our weekly diet, were left out of their possibilities.
  21. Dacia has just revealed a few minutes ago an important renewal in its product offering. Although they have not yet communicated much data, they have already left us some first images of the third generation of the successful Dacia Sandero and Dacia Logan. Of course, the new Dacia Sandero Stepway also appears, a variant in high demand in all European markets. The Romanian brand belonging to Renault Group summons us on September 29 to know all the details of these three new models. In any case, let's take a detailed look at the images to see what this new generation of the Sandero, Sandero Stepway and Logan offers us. We remember that the basis for these three models is the same. Dacia sandero The third generation of the Dacia Sandero inevitably reminds us of the Renault Clio. The economy utility now features a steeper windshield, a lower roof, and a more aerodynamic topline. This conveys an image of greater fluidity in its lines. Less baroque, we could say. As can be seen, the rear part evolves considerably, also introducing pilots with LED technology and its own light image. In addition, as in its brothers Sandero Stepway and Logan, it debuts a completely redesigned front end. The grill now uses a new design and the bumpers have a more elaborate aesthetic than ever. But the most striking part are the new headlights, with a new “Y” shaped LED light signature shared with the other two models that will make them easily recognizable. Dacia Sandero Stepway As you know, the Stepway is the Romanian utility crossover body. It is one of the options most demanded by the brand's customers. It has a more robust aesthetic thanks to its greater ground clearance and, above all, to the specific bumpers with lower protections. Unlike previous versions, it has a greater differentiation from the normal Sandero, using a specific hood, more tension ribs and the Stepway lettering on the grille. Dacia logan For its part, the Dacia Logan introduces the style of the front seen in its new range brothers, with new grille and front lighting. In addition, this three-volume body now looks more dynamic. Dacia affirms that in order to look for that image, the side glazed surface has been reduced, giving more packaging to the whole. Although it has not yet been unveiled, it is very likely that a Dacia Logan MCV family body will appear later, as well as a Stepway variant with crossover aesthetics.
  22. Inflammation is at the origin of all disease, accelerates the aging process and shortens life expectancy Health has always been an issue of fundamental importance, however in recent months it has taken on an exorbitant relevance. Although there are many factors that determine the state of health of a person, it is a fact that this is directly related to lifestyle and eating habits. Recently much has been said about inflammation and its negative effects on health, in fact it is considered the origin of all disease. Although in its beginnings it is a response of the immune system to protect the organism against any damage, which can be of a different nature and lead to: mechanical (blows and injuries), infectious (caused by the presence of viruses and bacteria) and chemicals (derived from the presence of a toxic substance). Based on this, inflammation can be of two types: Acute: Rapid onset and short duration, in which the exudate of plasma fluid and the accumulation of lymphocytes predominate. Chronic: Its main characteristic is that it occurs when acute inflammation does not resolve. In other words, it is an inflammatory process that remains over time, either because the pathogen cannot be eliminated as in the case of latent infections, due to the persistence of a foreign body or because an autoimmunity problem develops. Of course, chronic inflammation is the worrying one, since it is characterized by persisting in time beyond what is necessary and stops responding to the reparative purpose, that is, it becomes destructive. The truth is that chronic inflammation is degenerative and is related to shortening life expectancy, accelerates aging and directly promotes the appearance of various degenerative diseases such as obesity, diabetes, depression, cognitive impairment, osteoporosis, loss of muscle mass, fibromyalgia, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and cancer. The truth is that there are various scientific references that indicate that in many cases inflammation begins directly with the food we eat. That is why it is essential to avoid the intake of those products that trigger inflammation and opt for healthy alternatives, which are related to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. We present the five food groups that you should avoid, their consumption is directly related to inflammation and other conditions that depress health and well-being. 1. Added sugars In all respects, avoiding the consumption of added sugars makes a noticeable difference in the state of health and mood of people. In recent years, much has been said about the devastating effects of excessive consumption of processed products, which are distinguished by their content in table sugar and high fructose corn syrup, substances that increase the biomarkers of inflammation in the body . That is why the World Health Organization (WHO) has established clear parameters on its consumption: for both adults and children, the consumption of free sugars should be reduced to less than 10% of the total caloric intake. A reduction below 5% in total caloric intake would produce additional health benefits, as eating a lot of sugar is linked to obesity, insulin resistance, brain and heart disease, diabetes, fatty liver disease and cancer . The recommendation is simple: you should avoid the consumption of all kinds of processed foods, fast foods, sugary drinks, sweets and sweets; the foolproof substitute is opting for a hearty consumption of fruits and vegetables. 2. Refined carbohydrates In recent times there have been all kinds of opinions regarding the consumption of carbohydrates and based on this, numerous dietary guidelines have emerged that propose avoiding them. The truth is that quality carbohydrates and in controlled quantities are a necessary nutrient for the body, however not all are the same and refined carbohydrates are the cause of many deteriorations in health. They are foods that are directly related to inflammation, since they are processed foods in which most of their fiber has been eliminated. It is well known that a good intake of fiber is one of the most fundamental aspects for digestive, intestinal, immune and cardiovascular health; Eating foods without fiber causes the body to produce insulin to transport glucose out of the blood, this causes many metabolic problems and diseases. The recommendation is to opt for the consumption of whole grain cereals such as oats, quinoa, millet, brown rice, some seeds and various fruits and vegetables. 3. Processed meats Currently, following a diet with a very limited or even zero consumption of foods of animal origin has been related as a great measure to gain health, prevent and combat numerous diseases. However, as in all food groups, there are products that are of higher quality, such as lean and organic meats; those that are concerning and it is important to avoid are processed meats. Its excessive consumption is related to an increase in heart disease, diabetes, stomach cancer, colon cancer and most notably they stimulate inflammation because they contain advanced glycation end products (AGEs). These substances are very harmful compounds that are formed when foods such as meat are cooked at high temperatures, at the same time they are characterized by their high sodium content, preservatives and additives that are used to extend their life time and improve flavor. . The recommendation is to avoid the consumption of cold cuts, bacon, sausages and any variant of processed meat and opt for vegetable protein sources such as legumes, nuts, some seeds and limited products of good quality animal origin and of organic origin. 4. Alcohol It is well known that excessive and recurring alcohol consumption is associated with several devastating health consequences. One of the most important factors lies in its effect on inflammatory markers, when alcohol breaks down, it generates toxic by-products that can damage liver cells and weaken the immune system. Additionally, a recurrent consumption of alcohol is related to various stomach conditions, inflammation and damage to the liver and pancreas, malnutrition, depression, obesity and various heart conditions. It is important to limit alcohol consumption, especially strong liquors and cocktail mixes, and choose to consume red wine on special occasions, it is a drink with great health benefits thanks to its high content of antioxidants. 5. Trans fats It is not surprising that trans fats are present, they are considered one of the main enemies of heart health. This type of fat is characterized by being widely used in the food industry to improve the taste, texture and shelf life of food. They are considered stealth inflammatory ingredients, such as 'hydrogenated' or 'partially hydrogenated' oils, and are associated with all kinds of negative consequences, ranging from increased obesity and overweight, diabetes, heart disease, dementia, depression and nutritional deficiencies. It is essential to avoid the consumption of industrial bakery products such as cakes, breads, cookies, candies, fast and fried foods, ice cream and margarines. And replace them with the consumption of healthy fats such as natural and unprocessed foods, such as extra virgin olive oil, nuts, avocado and seeds.
