The foods that are eaten can play a very important role in the formation of these grains Although there are many people who believe that it is a myth, the food that is eaten can be a very influential factor in the appearance or not of acne. And not just some specific foods, such as chocolate, but the entire dietary pattern as a whole. "Diet is one of the factors that can most influence the appearance of acne, apart from the hormonal factors characteristic of adolescence and the cleanliness and hygiene of the skin. Our dietary pattern, undoubtedly, can influence health much more of the skin and the appearance of acne ", confirms in an interview with Infosalus the scientific secretary of the Spanish Society of Dietetics and Food Sciences (SEDCA), the dietician-nutritionist Andrea Calderón. In this context, the expert does not refer only to fat intake. "Linking increased fat intake with more fat in the skin is a very simplistic statement and it really is not the case. It depends on the quality of the fat ingested, the total fat profile and many other factors, such as the intake of sugars , sufficient vegetables or correct hydration ", insists Calderón. That is, some fats are not associated with increased acne. "Quality fat such as virgin olive oil, fat that comes naturally from blue fish, avocado and nuts is not associated with increased acne," says the expert, who does mention lower quality fats, such as refined ones from cookies , precooked, sauces, pastries or fast food as a predisposing factor to acne. Excessive consumption of foods high in added sugars, white or refined flours and dairy are also related to a greater presence of acne, although, "of course, it also has to do with the predisposition of each one or the physiological stage in which it is found" , insists the scientific secretary of SEDCA. As for sugar, the first thing Calderón recommends is to reduce that which we consciously add to food, such as coffee or yogurt. "But also, and almost more importantly, reduce the sugar that is already added to our daily products: sugary cookies, sugary breakfast cereals, flavored yogurts or sauces with sugar, whose daily consumption increases the total intake much more of sugar in our diet ", adds the expert. In reference to white or refined flours, the SEDCA scientific secretary recalls that their consumption is "very high" in the Western diet. For example, daily white bread for breakfast and meals, white pasta, and non-whole grain or whole grain cookies and cereals. The recommendation in this regard is to replace these foods with others "of greater nutritional interest, for example: change pasta for legumes, change both cereal for fruit and nuts or not put bread in all meals", advises the expert. Finally, the dairy products related to acne are the most aged milk and cheeses. "It does not mean that direct consumption of dairy produces more acne," Calderón warns, but "in people with a greater predisposition to acne, it is recommended that they reduce their consumption if they often drank a lot of milk or too much cheese every day." The reason is that dairy products contain "hormonal precursors that can increase the tendency, but in no case should it be confused with the fact that milk is hormonal, because it does not have any type of hormone added", explains the dietician-nutritionist. In addition, "as a curious fact, although it is still not entirely clear, it seems that skimmed milk promotes the appearance of acne more than whole milk. On the other hand, yogurt, due to its processing, is not associated with more acne", adds Calderón . Diet can also reduce acne The other side of the coin is a diet that can reduce the risk of acne. "Just as diet can easily predispose to acne, it can also reduce your risk as long as we follow a healthy dietary pattern," says the SEDCA scientific secretary. Thus, "it seems that a diet rich in vegetables, fruits, vegetables and vegetables every day and at all meals reduces the risk of acne and provides a multitude of antioxidants that promote greater skin health," ditch Calderón, who adds a healthy living in general to the equation: adequate and sufficient rest, stress management, an active life and physical exercise. All this "will help reduce the risk of acne," according to the expert. "Ultimately, reducing the intake of processed products of low nutritional quality such as those mentioned, and increasing the consumption of basic foods in our diet, such as fruits and vegetables, legumes, seeds and nuts is the key to acne control. Always together with healthy lifestyle habits of physical activity and adequate rest ", sums up Calderón.

When Hyundai debuted the Kona we were a little cold. The design created by Luc Donckerwolke was risky and futuristic, also breaking with the aesthetic code of the brand. Well, these three years on sale have shown that they were on the right track, as deliveries have not stopped growing. Now, as it approaches the halfway point of its business cycle, it is time to receive a restyling to improve. We've been watching the camouflage-laden Hyundai Kona for a while as it runs validation and testing. However, it has not been until now that the South Korean house has released the first teasers. They are three snapshots that, as expected, preview how the controversial aesthetics of its front has evolved. And be careful, because like good wine, maturity really suits this B-segment road. The aesthetics of the renewed Hyundai Kona inherits features of the Sonata and Santa Fe According to the design team, the refreshed Hyundai Kona is inspired by sharks. If you look closely, the improved daytime running lights (DRL) give it a tech flair. The bumper is new too, bringing its stamp closer to that of the new Sonata and Santa Fe. Lastly, we can't overlook the main headlamps. They maintain the position, although they integrate LED technology and change the exterior and interior design. These changes are those assumed by the "normal" Kona, as the N Line termination comes to the range as a novelty. In this case, the front of the B-SUV becomes more dynamic, with a more muscular bumper and larger air intakes. All this accompanied by the "N Line" logo on a honeycomb grid. In addition, three air intakes appear in the lower area of the hood in the purest style of the legendary Audi quattro. And up to here we can read. In the official press release issued by Hyundai we are summoned to next weeks. Therefore, we will have to wait patiently to have more information about the renewed Kona. All in all, its official debut should take place before 2020 draws to a close. The reason is simple: its commercialization is marked for the end of the year or the beginning of 2021 at the latest.

These cold and rainy months you should pay attention to your diet and eat a healthy diet Colds and flu, diseases so typical of this time of year, can turn your day into a nightmare despite not being serious. That is why these months in which bad weather once again puts the body's defenses to the test, you should pay special attention to your diet. And it is that foods like the ones we bring you next will help you strengthen your immune system and prevent colds and flu. Pumpkins Pumpkin, such a typical fall food and so rare on the grocery list, is also one of the best for preventing the flu. Its high content of beta-carotenes, the pigments responsible for giving this vegetable its characteristic orange color, make pumpkin a great source of vitamins, perfect for improving the defenses of the immune system. Citrus Oranges, tangerines, lemons ... grandmothers already said, any citrus is good to help fight colds and flu. Its high content of vitamin C and other nutrients help slow the progression of these common diseases at this time of year. The best thing is that you can take advantage of and alternate the ones you like the most: an orange juice, lemonade, some tangerines, a grapefruit, etc. Natural yogurts The probiotics present in yogurts help to take care of the intestinal flora, key in the immune system. But to benefit from the benefits of this food you have to eat at least one a day. Also, yogurts are perfect for people who are taking antibiotics as it will help them avoid getting more infections. Carrots Like pumpkins, carrots are another of the foods richest in beta-carotene that you can find in the supermarket. Whether cooked, in juice, as a garnish or raw, this tuber is perfect for the little ones in the house to have a healthy diet. Garlic While some hate the taste of it, others love it. There is no middle ground. But what everyone knows is that garlic not only serves to flavor your meals, it also has significant health benefits. It is a food rich in allicin, a component with a high natural antiseptic power capable of stimulating the immune system and fighting the flu and infectious processes. Additionally, a study published in Advances in Therapy (2001) showed that those who took garlic supplements for twelve weeks had fewer colds than those who took placebo. Onions The onion stands out for being rich in cysteine, an amino acid that strengthens the immune system, and quercetin, a component with antibacterial and anti-flu properties. In addition, introducing this food into your diet will help you decongest the airways and clean the lungs. Vegetables Legumes such as lentils or chickpeas usually return to the weekly menus after the hot months to help us fight the autumn cold. And is that this type of food is very beneficial to maintain body temperature, in addition to being rich in antioxidants, which help prevent infections. Eggs They are a source of protein, vitamins B12 and B6, selenium and zinc, essential for maintaining a strong immune system. That is why it is advisable to eat eggs about two or three times a week to keep colds and other illnesses at bay. In addition, being such a versatile food, you will not have any problem when it comes to including it in your diet or in that of the smallest of the house: you can cook them, grill them, fried, in an omelette, etc. Ginger Either in infusions or as a condiment for meals, this root will help you prevent and treat colds and flu processes. This is especially due to its antibacterial, antipyretic and analgesic properties. Additionally, ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory and helps improve digestion. Honey That honey is one of the best home remedies to calm a cough is nothing new. But in addition, a study published in the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine (2007) concluded that this food also helps prevent unwanted colds and flu by improving defenses.

It is less so that we meet in person the new generation of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class W223. We have been talking about him for a while, as it is the premium saloon in which the rest of the manufacturers look. Therefore Daimler AG cannot miss the mark, otherwise Audi and BMW will step on the ground. All in all, we are facing one of the most anticipated evolutions, as it will assume part of the aesthetic code that the last Class A released. But beyond launching a more dynamic and elegant image, the main strengths of the new S-Class are inside. We refer to the work carried out by the team of engineers and creatives to integrate the latest technological developments. Now, when we are a few days away from its official presentation taking place, Mercedes-Benz publishes a final sketch, revealing the evolution of its design lines. The silhouette of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class W223 will be more dynamic and elegant If we put together all the sketches and images we have of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class W223 we could say that we already know what it is like. But no, we would be wrong, because although the firm is faithful when it comes to releasing teasers, this saloon has thousands of configuration possibilities. Therefore, we will have to wait to see her in person and have the press kit in hand to offer a verdict on the evolution she is experiencing. However, the last sketch they have published before their official presentation is very clarifying. Especially because the design agrees with the teasers that have been released in recent weeks. Thus, we have torn-style headlamps, inspired by those mounted on the Vision S Concept. But we can't ignore the generous front grille or the bumper with a full-width air intake, either. Obviously this sketch presents aesthetic resources that are missing or will not be in the series version. We refer to those alloy wheels or the absence of handles to open the doors. The lines of tension that run through your silhouette will be, although in an attenuated way to avoid causing visual rejection. All in all, Daimler AG defines the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class W223 as the "saloon that will redefine the luxury segment with numerous innovations". There is nothing left, in a few days and we will have everything.

It is a good ally when it comes to shedding those extra kilos When it comes to losing weight, surely you have already changed many things in your diet. You have stopped eating ultra-processed foods and are no longer gorging on sweets. But, despite the fact that you have been modifying many of the aspects of your daily life (among others, not eating with alcohol or passing dessert to the benefit of fruit), surely you have not fallen into another bad habit that you commit almost to daily: eating too much meat. To lose weight, it is always recommended to fall into a caloric deficit. That is to say: spending more calories than you consume. And you will only achieve that by moving more and changing your eating habits. If you already walk more than 15,000 steps a day (it is recommended not only to lose weight but also to be healthy by the World Health Organization), you only have to change your diet little by little. What can you eat instead of meat that gives you a lot of energy but also gives you calories? Fish is the solution. Nutritionists assure that little attention is paid to fish despite how necessary they are in our diet. In this sense, all the specialists assure that you have to eat fish three times a week. As minimum. Not only to lose weight, but also to lose weight. In addition, fish is, according to the cooks themselves, a food that does not have to be difficult to prepare. There are many recipes that you can make without being an expert in the kitchen. The case is (as in almost everything related to gastronomy) in trying and losing your fear of both cuisine in general and fish in particular. And this is not the only change you have to drive. It is also important that you leave out the ultra-sugary desserts and go to the fruit. All of these are what is known as "micro-actions" to achieve your ideal weight. Subsistence allowance But remember that in the end the most important thing is not to lose weight. What you should really care about is being healthy. For that there is almost nothing more important than food. That it is healthy and balanced is essential to avoid all kinds of diseases and, among others, those related to obesity. Remember that you can periodically consult in our Health section the best tricks to stay up-to-date when it comes to nutrition.

General Motors is determined to bring Cadillac back to the luster of yesteryear. For this, it has given the green light to an ambitious launch plan that has electrification as its central axis. However, it is useless to create a new range of models without enhancing other aspects that are closely linked to it. One of the most unknown, because they rarely made it to Europe, has to do with the V-Series Blackwing sports versions. Cadillac announced last year that new models were coming to the V-Series Blackwing family. As of today, this range only consists of two models, the CT4 and CT5, however it won't take long to have a new member. This news comes from the hand of a teaser that advances what the General Motors premium banner would be preparing. Now the question is whether this new member will be electric or not. What do you think? Cadillac wants V-Series Blackwing family to be a sports sub-brand Speculation aside, the teaser Cadillac has posted about the new V-Series Blackwing is unrevealing. Instead of showing his body or design style, he has posted a picture where we can see his steering wheel. This element shows a high quality as it is finished in leather and has a red stripe in the central area (12 o'clock). Carbon fiber is present in the lower area as well as the V-Series logo. Nor can we ignore the "V" button located in the left area under the controls of the infotainment system. With it, the driver could modify vehicle parameters such as acceleration, transmission or suspension. But in addition, there is another detail that would go unnoticed: this model could reach 200 miles per hour, that is, 320 kilometers per hour of maximum speed. And so far we can read, because the rest of the information and data available are mere rumors. According to these, Cadillac could be preparing the arrival of a new mechanical gasoline 3.6 liter V6 Biturbo with 470 hp and 603 Nm of maximum torque. However, it seems to us a certainly limited performance to exceed the maximum speed that your instrument panel would mark. The only thing for sure is that General Motors wants Cadillac to turn the V-Series Blackwing family into a sub-brand of its own. In this way, they will offer models with high mechanical performance and high quality of execution. This new member should be debuting next summer so there is still time for us to find out more details.

Nutrition experts have found that adding a simple ingredient reduces the impact of bread on blood sugar Stop at the bakery. Or at the bread stand at the supermarket on duty. Or, perhaps, a bar or two hangs from your front door. Be that as it may, acquiring the daily ration of bread is, undeniably, one more step in the daily routine of Spanish families. This food has become a pillar of the Mediterranean diet, a staple that cannot be missing in kitchens throughout Spain. But, at the same time, the risk caused by its excessive consumption is already more than extended: white bread, the most consumed in the country, makes you fat, and quite a bit. Therefore, it is more than interesting the simple trick that some nutrition experts recommend to make bread a little healthier food and reduce its impact on the increase in blood sugar. This was recently announced by Joan Dídac's Instagram account, launching nutritional recommendations under the name @proviotico: the expert briefly explains how adding an ingredient can prevent bread from becoming so fat and make it more compatible with a diet healthy and to lose weight. There is no martyrdom. Obviously, if one is following a very strict diet to lose weight or lose weight, one must avoid or reduce the consumption of bread as much as possible. But there are alternatives to make its consumption healthier if it is impossible for us to eliminate it from the diet. Who doesn't want to dip into the baguette or ciabatta when they get home still warm? Well, the problem with white bread is that it is processed, and lately nutritionists are emphasizing increasing the consumption of natural products to the detriment of processed and ultra-processed. What has become po[CENSORED]r as "real food". The account of "Proviotico" explains it clearly, even at the risk that bread lovers, who number in the millions, will be disappointed: "Just as white pasta and other refined grains are less nutritious, neither bad nor well, it is an unnecessary food, in the best of cases opt for whole wheat bread (if you like bread) with few ingredients ". Experts and researchers have insisted in recent times that bread, despite being a traditional pillar of the Mediterranean diet, does not have that equivalent to nutritional effects. To which must be added that, simplifying the matter, eating white bread is like eating sugar. The reason? This type of bread, the most consumed in Spain, is basically composed of starch and, in the end, our body quickly transforms it into sugar. In fact, if you hold bread in your mouth for a while, it ends up tasting sweet. Lose weight and eat bread? Not entirely incompatible But it is very difficult to eat without bread, an element so fully integrated into our diet and into the routine of our homes. That is why we must look for alternatives to do it in the healthiest way and that it is the least possible hindrance when it comes to losing weight or losing weight. Hence, the trick spread by "Proviotico" is especially interesting, and which he explains on his Instagram account along with a graphic that supports his recommendation: if you are going to eat white bread, spread a good dose of almond butter on it.

2020 will be a year that car manufacturers will want to forget. The Coronavirus crisis has caused much of the sector to be in danger of collapse and therefore has put them in a very difficult situation. However, it will also mean a turning point because, as the saying goes "to great evils, great remedies", the batteries have been put. The proof is that the volume of releases will be very intense and important. One of the most anticipated has to do with the resurrection of the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. The largest and most luxurious SUV of the American house is gradually paving the way for its public unveiling. The last time we talked to you about it was a few days ago, but now we have new data and images. And it is not the only thing, since the FCA Group has announced with great fanfare the exact day on which the official presentation event will take place. Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer debut on September 3 If nothing fails, and everything goes according to plan, the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer will be official on September 3. To announce this fact, the communication team of the firm has published two teasers with which they warn how high its quality will be. The first has to do with the grill, especially with the format, finish and customization. But also, because of the positioning of the Wagoneer name in the upper area. As you might expect, the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer will keep all seven bars on their grille, but there is another novelty. We mean that, we do not know if standard or optional, it will be finished in translucent material and can be illuminated. This striking solution is not new, as BMW also uses it for its X6. And to finish we must take a look at the second teaser, which in this case refers to the interior finish. In it we can see a rotating dial that appears to be over the central tunnel. Behind him, a screen seems to be sensed, which could well be the one that will be located in front of the front passenger. All in all, the trim level of this item shows that the FCA Group has put great care and dedication into creating a high-quality SUV. This fact only confirms that Jeep wants to get fully involved in the fight against the "three Marys." All in all, it's 10 days until the debut of the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer takes place. Let's see if the FCA Group is lucky and a leak does not derail the surprise. Time to time.

These applications are intended to guide the consumer to follow a healthier diet Sugars, salt, additives, fats, or calories are just some of the words on food labels, but can we interpret them? Now, three mobile applications capable of reading the barcodes of the packages help us to reel off their content and to achieve a healthier basket. Yuka, El CoCo and My Real Food are free to download and use apps. The first is French and the other two Spanish. Between the three, they accumulate thousands of downloads and compete to gain a foothold in supermarkets in order to guide consumers to a healthy diet, those responsible assure Efe. However, although they share some criteria, each one focuses more on the nutritional value, the degree of processing or the additives of the feed. "We are like three different knives, with the ham you cannot peel vegetables or with the vegetable you can cut bread," dietitian-nutritionist and biologist Juan Revenga, from the El CoCo app, summarizes to EFE. This application arrived in March of this year promoted by a group of nutritionists now represented by Revenga, also a professor at the University of San Jorge in Zaragoza, and is based, like Yuka, on the analysis of ingredients using the Nutriscore index (a traffic light of colors) and also in the Nova index. The latter measures from 1 to 4 the degree of processing of a product, with 4 being the ultra-processed category. Coco, which means "The Conscious Consumer", has more than 250,000 downloads; it does not give a grade to the food and is in the process of being revised to incorporate new analysis indices always with scientific scales. "We seek to make people wiser since few know how to interpret sometimes confusing labels", points out Juan Revenga. Yuka was the first to appear, first in France almost three years ago and then in Spain last June where it already adds 1.5 million downloads out of a total of 13.2 million: consumers who choose it do so, about all, because the other two do not analyze the presence of additives, points out the spokeswoman for the application, Ophélia Bierschwale. This app, which has a carrot as its logo, gives a grade to products -food and cosmetics- from 0 to 100 based on three criteria: 60% of the grade depends on the nutritional quality obtained by the analysis of ingredients by the Nutriscore method. Another 30% is related to additives and their level of risk based, they say, of "independent studies" and data from the European Agency for Food Safety, among others. The remaining 10% value the European bio label. Additives are also indicated by the third of the app, My Real Food, although it is not its main focus and it does not do it like Yuka, but based on whether they are safe or controversial: "We want to give information that not all additives are the same, although this does not determine the level of processing of a food, "dietitian-nutritionist Carlos Ríos, promoter of this application, tells EFE. Promoter of the Realfooding movement, a lifestyle based on fresh food, Ríos launched his application on October 1 and has more than 600,000 users who can see a classification of products in real food (fresh), well processed and ultra-processed (with the majority unhealthy ingredients). It uses "an adaptation of the NOVA system" for this, it also provides nutritional information and warns with a system of black stamps if a food is high in calories or sugar, for example. The additives and the bio label are the main objects of criticism that are made between them. Revenga (El CoCo) considers, for example, that the inclusion of additives encourages "chemofobia". Ríos also makes a criticism: If you put the focus on additives, such as Yuka, the industry can present muffins without preservatives and colorings but rich in sugars "and you are going to believe that this is good." From Yuka, Bierschwale defends himself: Although an additive has the blessing of European regulations, it does not mean that it does not present a health hazard, such as titanium dioxide, a colorant that France will ban in 2020. And what do they think from the outside? The expert in nutrition and public health José Luis Peñalvo, from Tufts University in Boston, indicates to Efe that these applications can be "a great opportunity" to bring healthy nutrition closer to the consumer, but provided they have a scientific basis. Peñalvo recalls that the use of Nutriscore and / or Nova coincide in all three, "which have areas for improvement, so we must be cautious when interpreting the classification of some products." Processed foods that are nutritionally adequate, such as canned fish, could be classified the same as a sugar-free carbonated drink by following those algorithms, he warns. All are available on Android and iOS and require the collaboration of users to scan and photograph the labels and thus increase their databases.

The automotive sector in China is so vast that many of its novelties go unnoticed in Europe. However, we cannot forget about such relevant manufacturers as Zhejiang Geely Holding Group. Yes, the new "boss" of Volvo is articulating a range of models that without the help of the Swedish firm could never have. All thanks to the money he once put on the table to raise it up and from which he now reaps the fruits. To illustrate this we have the Geely Preface, a really interesting D-segment saloon. Perhaps if you look closely at it, it sounds familiar, because the brand's design team has been inspired by a model that we know well in Europe. We refer, how could it be otherwise, to the latest generation of the Volvo S60. If you don't believe it, keep reading, because between one and the other there will be very few differences, especially technical ones. The Geely Preface is built on Volvo's CMA platform On a technical level, the new Geely Preface is mounted on Volvo's Compact Modular Architecture (CMA) platform. Thanks to the use of this modern and flexible base, you will have a mechanical offer made up of three and four cylinder petrol blocks from the organ bank of the Swedish house. But in addition, you can also introduce in the range (if they believe it necessary) versions with plug-in hybrid technology. On an aesthetic level, the resemblance to the S60 and the latest Volvo launches is more than evident. However, the Preface arises from the conceptual exercise that Geely presented at the last Shanghai Auto Show in 2019. Thus, between the prototype and the model that reaches the production line there are differences such as the loss of the suicide-opening rear doors or a downhill roofline in true coupe style. Of the interior of the Geely Preface there are no images, although it gives us in the nose that its design scheme will be known. To this must be added that its level of quality and fit of materials will be supervised directly by Volvo itself. The technological and safety capacity is beyond doubt, as the Preface will make use of each and every one of the latest advances made by the Swedish house. If you liked the Geely Preface, we are sorry to give you bad news: it will not reach Europe for now. Perhaps later the opportunity may arise, although it would enter into direct competition with the S60. Its manufacture will take place at Geely's technical center located in Hangzhou (China). A shame, because such a model would enliven the segment of the medium saloons and would force the brands to put the batteries.

Quirónsalud specialists explain the best way to obtain an adequate weight without damaging health, as well as the relationship between obesity and coronavirus The concept of diet is usually associated, many times, with the complicated path of losing weight or losing weight, but in reality the objective of carrying out a diet should be, first of all, to learn to eat to acquire healthy lifestyle habits, which it will bring about maintaining an adequate weight. When we consider starting a diet, there are many doubts that may arise, and we usually go to sources of information that are often not reliable and that in many cases tell us about the famous express or miracle diets, which leads to the damaging rebound effect. We also usually find lists of prohibited foods or restrictive diets. To clarify these and other questions about diet and healthy eating, we have interviewed three nutrition specialists from Quirónsalud. Are restrictive diets dangerous? This type of diet, also known as a miracle diet, is characterized by eliminating certain nutrients from our diet in order to lose weight, so "if they are maintained over time they can be really dangerous", clarifies Mari Carmen Díaz Sánchez, Dietitian -Nutritionist at Quirónsalud Alicante. "They can lead to a loss of muscle mass, which will make us feel less power and more fatigued; and to the lack of essential nutrients, which produces deficiencies with the appearance of symptoms that worsen our quality of life," adds the specialist. . At this point the well-known rebound effect comes into play. And it is that miracle diets induce a very severe caloric restriction that generally leads to situations of deficiencies in vitamins and minerals and metabolic alterations, and to a food monotony that makes them unsustainable over time and dangerous to health. As Carolina Pérez, a nutritionist at the Quirónsalud Hospital in Murcia, indicates, "in miracle diets there is a rebound effect, with which when we leave the method we begin to regain the weight lost quickly and in greater quantity, favoring the accumulation of fat in other areas of the body where it was not deposited as much or previously ". But what consequences does the rebound effect have on our health? Among the symptoms due to the deficiency of essential nutrients or due to excess of others we find weakness, lack of energy, sagging, wrinkled and drier skin, brittle nails, hair loss, bad smell of sweat and mouth, lack of vitality in general, drowsiness, listlessness, headache, dizziness, or blurred vision. Forbidden food The three nutrition experts agree that in a healthy diet there are no prohibited foods, however "it is necessary to order the frequency of consumption and food rations", recommends Rocío Práxedes, Dietitian-Nutritionist of the Obesity and Nutrition Unit Quirónsalud Valencia. It should be noted that there are certain foods whose consumption does not provide any benefit and in the long run are harmful to health. Among them we find the following: - Sugar: it is absorbed quickly and can cause an increase in blood glucose with a risk of subsequent hypoglycemia. - Salty snacks, such as chips, honey snacks, crusts, nachos, etc. They are rich in calories, contain high sodium content, flavor enhancers such as glutamate and do not provide vitamins or minerals. It would be more advisable to take some natural unroasted nuts or olives. - Industrial pastries: most contain coconut and palm oils and although they are vegetable oils, they are saturated fats that are harmful to health. - Candy: made with sugar, glucose and colorings, many calories and no nutritional value. - Precooked foods, such as lasagna, omelette, empanadas, croquettes, etc. They are very comfortable, but they contain more fat, more salt, more coloring and preservatives than if they are prepared at home. - Cold cuts: Most cold cuts are subjected to an industrialization process that has made cold cuts such as York ham a pinkish gelatin mass, rich in sugars, starches, salt and phosphates that are not very recommended for a healthy diet. - Barbecues: The scorched meat contains benzopyrenes, carcinogenic substances involved in the appearance of tumors. - Soft drinks: most contain carbonic gas to obtain bubbles, phosphates, additives with the letter E, caffeine as an exciter and phosphoric acid, a substance that precipitates with calcium, reducing the absorption of this mineral, which can cause decalcification. Diets that are not good for you As the specialists point out, one should be wary of diets that are "aggressive, restrictive and with a rebound effect, since combining uncontrolled fasts with minimal daily intakes can compromise our health and aggravate hidden or undetected diseases", says nutritionist Carolina Pérez . For her part, Mari Carmen Díaz warns that we must be suspicious of diets "that promise to lose a lot of weight in a short time, lack scientific support and are unsustainable in the long term." "The diet that prohibits or excludes you from a basic food group", Rocío Práxedes sentenced. And to better explain it, he gives us a clear example: "those diets that prohibit carbohydrate source foods such as pasta, potatoes, bread or rice. Our life today is more sedentary, this makes us have to adjust the rations and that the integral options are more convenient; but these foods, due to their nutritional contributions, must continue to form part of the daily diet. As advice, choose simple culinary techniques, use mainly vegetables and vegetables to cook them ". This is how a healthy and balanced diet should be After all these clarifications and medical warnings, we can only wonder what a healthy diet looks like. - Complete: It must provide all the nutrients the body needs: carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals and water. - Balanced: The nutrients must be distributed, keeping a proportion between them. - Sufficient: The amount of food must be adequate to maintain weight within normal ranges and in children achieve proportional development and growth. - Adapted: To the age, sex, height, physical activity carried out, work and health. - Varied: It must contain different foods from each of the groups, not only because it will be more pleasant with them, but because, the greater the variety, the greater the security of guaranteeing all the necessary nutrients. As Carolina Pérez indicates "there is no single balanced diet for everyone, each person has particular needs based on their age, sex, height, lifestyle, physical activity, vital situation (pregnancy, childhood, old age)". Carbohydrates are the most efficient source of energy for our body, these should represent 55% of our ingested calories, 30% for fats and we would leave the remaining 15% for proteins. Pérez recommends "eating everything, but also doing it in the right amounts, eating five meals a day, three larger ones and two snacks, to keep the basal blood glucose constant. Always maintain hydration (especially in children and the elderly and in the summer period ), so a good diet always has to include the right amount of water, between 1 and 2 liters per day. One idea that should be clear to us is that "a diet has to help us change our life habits for healthier ones forever," says nutritionist Rocío Práxedes. "It must teach us about self-care, not favor the feeling of guilt. At the same time it must be practical and realistic. If it is healthy, it also works for the rest of the family," adds Práxedes. How does the coronavirus affect people with obesity? Different international studies confirm that 65% of patients admitted to the ICU for Covid-19 are obese with a body mass index greater than 30. Of these patients, eight out of ten require assisted ventilation and have a mortality rate of 65 % compared to 36% who do not suffer from obesity, so Dr. Carlos Sala, head of the Obesity Units of Quirónsalud Valencia and Alicante, warns that "obesity can double the probability of dying from Covid-19". As detailed by Dr. Carlos Sala, "obese patients have altered respiratory mechanics, with greater resistance to air flow and worse gas exchange, lower lung capacity and lower strength of the respiratory muscles. This worse ability of obese patients to ventilate the lungs worsens in critical situations such as in the case of assisted respiration in Intensive Care Units, due to position, immobility and the worse adaptation to masks. On the other hand, comorbidities associated with obesity, such as cardiovascular disease and hypercoagulability they cause systemic thromboembolic phenomena that cast a shadow on the prognosis which, together with arterial hypertension, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and nephropathy typical of obese patients, also increase mortality ". Dr. Carlos Sala encourages that, in this "new normal", and with the rebound in outbreaks of Covid-19 throughout Spain, obese people make the necessary therapeutic decisions and go to specialized units if they need help. Overweight and Obesity: What Can We Do When a Diet Doesn't Work? What we eat and drink can affect our body's ability to fight infections, as well as the likelihood that we will develop health problems later in life, including obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and different types of cancer. That is why it is so important who we choose to help and advise us when it comes to losing weight. Not any diet or any information that is usually found on the Internet is worth it, nor does any "knowledgeable person". Putting yourself in the hands of specialized units is essential to achieve the desired objective, but above all so that your health is not harmed. For this, Dr. Juan Antonio Casellas, Head of the Advanced Endoscopy unit at Quirónsalud Alicante, recommends the intragastric balloon in order to facilitate weight loss in obese patients. The placement of an intragastric balloon is performed under endoscopic and anesthetic control. Initially, a diagnostic gastroscopy should be performed to verify that there are no contraindications and if all is well, the balloon is inserted into the gastric cavity and inflated under endoscopic control. There are different types of intragastric balloon, the most common being the Orbera, which is an elastic silicone balloon designed to be implanted in the stomach, maintaining it for 6 months. And the 12-month Orbera, which contains a more resistant wall so its duration is one year. The insertion and removal technique is exactly the same in both. For whom is the intragastric balloon indicated? The indication of any of the available intragastric balloons is for patients with a BMI between 30 and 40, except for the Elipse balloon (it is swallowed, self-fills and expels naturally) which is recommended for patients with only overweight, that is, with a BMI between 26 and 29. Postoperative of an intragastric balloon The first days after the placement of an intragastric balloon there is some gastric rejection since the stomach is not used to the balloon and tries to expel it. The clinical manifestations usually consist of spasms, nausea, and even vomiting. To mitigate these symptoms it is recommended to take a medication for three to seven days.

Without a doubt, the most anticipated launch of the BMW M series is the BMW M4 Coupé. This is the sports saloon in coupe format, a style that has championed BMW's sportiness for many decades. A car desired by all fans of speed and high sensations. In principle, the BMW M4 will be officially unveiled in September. Be that as it may, the fact is that the Bavarian brand wants to warm our hearts. Thus, a few hours ago he showed images of the BMW M4 Coupé still camouflaged, accompanied by the next BMW M4 GT3, also camouflaged. The venue chosen for this event has been the Red Bull Ring circuit in Austria, where this weekend the MotoGP “BMW M Grand Prix of Styria” will be held. According to statements by Markus Flasch, CEO of BMW M GmbH, “The BMW M4 Coupé and its motorsport counterpart, the BMW M4 GT3, are the icons of BMW M GmbH and the prime examples of technology transfer from motorsport to production in series, and vice versa. From the beginning, both vehicles were developed in parallel, so they both have the same genes. " As many of you know, like the BMW M3, the new BMW M4 Coupé will be available in two versions. On the one hand we will have a "normal" M4 that will develop 480 hp and, on the other, the BMW M4 Competition, delivering 510 hp and enjoying a more radical set-up. To this must be added that the possibility of manual transmission will continue to be available, while the versions with the 8-speed M Steptronic transmission will have the Drivelogic system, with variable distribution of traction. Meanwhile, the racing BMW M4 GT3 uses the same 6-cylinder block with 3-liter displacement and M TwinPower Turbo technology. Of course, the benefits are unknown. According to the brand, the car will debut in competition in some appointments of the next season 2021. This car will gradually replace the BMW M6 GT3.

As the bishop emeritus of Brazil, Pedro Casaldáliga, points out, hunger does not wait and the first thing to do with those who are hungry is to feed them One more year, throughout these days a large operation is being carried out throughout Spain for the collection of food promoted by the Fesbal (Spanish Federation of Food Banks), which for this edition has proposed to exceed 450,000 kilos obtained last year. As the bishop emeritus of Brazil, Pedro Casaldáliga, points out, hunger does not wait and the first thing to do with those who are hungry is to feed them. Later all that of the cane will come, but above all to explain to him that the river is his. Few things in life are as important as food, to the point that our life and evolution have depended on the ability to have enough food for us and ours, wherever we are. However, despite the formidable advances in food production, hunger has always been present in the history of mankind, until the number of people who suffer from it is quantified with astonishing normality, as when we count the number of possessors from mobile phones or cars. We have ended up living with hunger as if it were an inevitable residue of our well-being, the result of situations of extreme poverty but also the consequence of human decisions and calculations through economic policies or destructive speculative practices. This is what has happened in Europe in the last decade at the hands of the harmful policies of expansive austerity applied, which have left a palpable trace of poverty, exclusion, inequality and also hunger, although less is said about it. And it is that hunger and the problems that hundreds of thousands of people have in countries like Spain to obtain the daily food necessary to live is not talked about. We have become accustomed to seeing queues in front of soup kitchens and humanitarian organizations, scavengers in containers, food bags or campaigns to collect food with astonishing normality, without realizing their meaning. In addition, we have delegated the care of these people to charitable organizations, as if we wanted to remove them from public institutions and make their existence invisible. But it is enough to visit the parishes and soup kitchens to see how people crowd every day to be able to have a plate of food or get a bag of food to take home. We are ashamed to certify that in countries like ours there are people who have problems eating, when what we should be ashamed of is that there are policies that generate people who do not have food, together with the lack of redistributive justice mechanisms. So we come to a halt, organizing extensive food drive drives, supposedly for people who can't get it, but we don't talk about those people and the reasons why they can't meet their essential needs. Food is requested but it is not required to eliminate the causes that lead all these people to depend on donations to eat, thus ignoring the right to food, a right guaranteed by international treaties signed by Spain, one of whose obligations is to "comply with the right to food directly when there are individuals or groups unable to enjoy the right to food through the means available to them ”, as signed before the United Nations in August 2013. A basic human right at the same level as others essential rights, such as education, health or housing. There is talk of the thousands of kilos of food obtained thanks to spontaneous contributions, without asking to reinforce the network of public social services or eliminate the policies that create misery, destroy jobs and allow starvation wages. Only employment and fair wages, together with comprehensive and effective social policies, will eliminate the poverty that forces so many citizens every day to turn to poor people's organizations to feed themselves, a figure that, according to research I have carried out, rises in Spain 1.29 million people a year. Naturally, it is very easy to collaborate with a package of rice or macaroni, but the collection between individuals, even allowing food to be supplied to people who need it, does not exceed a level of precariousness, atomization and instability that tends to distort the understanding of the problem about the you want to act. In fact, these annual food collections represent a very small amount compared to the 96.4 million kilos per year of food that are distributed each year in Spain through the Spanish Agrarian Guarantee Fund (FEGA) and which make Spain the European country that receives the most food. We have to ask ourselves if we want the distribution of food to become chronic in our country, transferring its responsibility to civil society and charitable organizations, or if we really want to abandon paternalistic and welfare thinking, defending the right to food and food sovereignty , requiring the participation of the beneficiaries in the distribution and distribution systems. Now, the thousands of people who contribute with our small gesture of solidarity one day a year should also become aware that a collective and political response is necessary to first alleviate, and later eradicate, the queues of hunger in Spain.

Few are the luxury brands that are reluctant to launch a high-performance SUV model on the market. It all started with the Cayenne and X5, and now these types of cars are in brands such as Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini or Aston Martin. It seems that even Ferrari is considering the launch of a similar model. And, after all, the economic performance of these products is being brutal. Although it is not exactly my style of car, I admit that I am struck by seeing vehicles of such size and weight at high speeds. That is why I have a hard time resisting seeing acceleration races or the like with these luxurious and powerful SUVs. Today I found a very interesting dragrace, with the Aston Martin DBX and Lamborghini Urus as the protagonists. Hit play! The Lamborghini Urus is a true beast with the traditional character of Sant'Agata Bolognese vehicles. Aggressiveness in its design and aggressiveness in its set-up. Under the hood is a 4.0-liter V8 that delivers 650 hp and 850 Nm, which theoretically allows you to do the 0 to 100 in 3.6 seconds. Its top speed is 300 km / h. On the opposite side we have the Aston Martin DBX. Yes, it is an SUV with a performance engine, but the concept is not so much about performance, but about style, class, comfort and quality in the interior. It also has a 4.0-liter V8, but in this case it is satisfied with a somewhat lower performance, delivering 550 hp and 700 Nm, that is, 100 hp and 150 Nm less than the Urus. It goes from 0 to 100 in 4.5 seconds and the maximum speed is 290 km / h.

Mobile applications have also reached the food sector to help us eat healthier In the field of nutrition, 'realfooding' has become the latest trend to help society change consumption habits for healthier ones. This translates into keeping ultra-processed products away from our fridge. Carlos Ríos has been the creator of this movement whose philosophy is based on eating the food that "our grandmothers made." The practice seems simple, but when push comes to shove, when we have to put the products in the shopping cart, we tend to include a lot of processed foods. Working life makes it difficult for us to find time each day to cook, but it is possible to combine a healthy diet with work. That's why when we go shopping we can't throw ourselves like crazy at precooked dishes. The more natural the products, the healthier. This combined with exercise, the best formula for a balanced diet. The nutritionist Carlos Ríos estimates that approximately 80% of the products that we can find in a supermarket are ultra-processed. To combat bad habits, it has launched a mobile application, MyRealFood, which allows scanning the bar code of food and returns nutritional information with a label that tells you if it is "Real food", "Good processed" or "Ultra processed". Consumers, smartphone in hand, will be able to scan the products in the supermarket to find out which ones they should not include in their shopping cart. But it is not the only mobile application. Another with similar characteristics is Yuka, with which they can scan food that scores from 1 to 100 according to the presence of additives and indicates if it is excellent, good, mediocre or bad. With this tool they can also scan cosmetic products in which it will indicate the presence of additives in creams, shampoos and other products. If a product or food is not considered good, recommendations will appear with similar ones that have a better score. Yuka or MyRealFood help us fill the shopping cart, but now do we know how to combine foods properly? Are we eating the ideal ratio of carbohydrates, protein and fat? There is also an application for it: Yazio. In their profile, they can add their weight and goal, and it will set a daily goal for calories and the carbohydrates, proteins and fats that they should eat at each meal. In this way, they will be able to contemplate the calories they are ingesting throughout the day and compensate in case of excess. Technology is making our lives easier every time. But do not forget that, although eating healthy is essential, if we add to the equation the practice of sports, we will find the right balance to lead a healthy lifestyle.

The Audi RS Q8 is the top of the line when it comes to Audi sports SUVs. The SUV of coupe lines of the German brand is the first cousin of the Lamborghini Urus, leaving a nonsense of performance and raw power. Under the hood is a 4.0-liter V8 with 600 hp and 800 Nm. But there are always those who want more, especially when you have a good checking account. More features and more exclusivity. For this, the best specialist in the Volkswagen Group is the ABT Sportsline preparer, who now launches this spectacular ABT RSQ8-R. Its aesthetic gains power, as much as its mechanics. ABT launches one of its special editions. In this case, only 125 units of the brutal ABT RSQ8-R will be manufactured. In addition, the 125 units coincide with his birthday, as the coach has been fighting for 125 years in this exciting world. One unit for each year of history. But focusing on this exclusive preparation, the specialist has managed to extract no less than 740 hp and 920 Nm of torque from the supercharged V8 block. This allows you to obtain a top speed of 315 km / h. Yes, 315 km / h in a large SUV. Crazy! Among other things, the control unit has been reprogrammed, in addition to using a new intercooler and a new stainless steel exhaust system. There are four carbon outlets with a diameter of 102 mm each. As you can see in the images, on a visual level it is a totally radical car; something that increases with the color used for its bodywork. The aesthetic touches make it a striking car at a glance, in case the stock RS Q8 wasn't enough. He looks very short and aggressive. It features an aerodynamic package, multiple carbon fiber exterior accents and massive weight-optimized 23-inch ABT High Performance wheels, which are fitted with 295/35 size tires. The interior also has specific details where the carbon fiber is once again overflowing, as well as some remarkable embroidered sports seats. There is also an emblem with the unit number of this limited edition.

A very simple way to lose weight without effort and if you do not have time to exercise And with it come dinners, business lunches and putting aside the healthy routine to let ourselves be carried away by the excesses of some dates. In a few days, many people will promise to lose weight and join a gym for the new year. When it comes to losing weight and wanting to follow a healthier routine, there is a maxim that you must be very clear about and that is practically always fulfilled: there are no miracle diets. It is true that starting to lose those extra kilos is a difficult and tedious routine, especially for those who have never been on a diet or who hardly exercise. Patience and being consistent in eating are two fundamental pillars on the way to weight loss (in this link we show you the three keys to lose fat effectively). Also, you should keep in mind that exercising is as important as eating well. Be careful, this does not mean that you should spend countless hours running on a treadmill or elliptical machine or sacrifice your leisure time in the gym. There are different routines that you can do without leaving home and with which you will notice incredible results (in this link we were talking about the fashionable exercise that more and more people are joining to lose weight in just a few minutes). However, when starting a healthy routine there is only one food that you should remove from your diet in order to achieve optimal results. It's about the sugar. By banishing this product from your diet you will lose up to five kilos in a single month. What foods are the main ones that you should eliminate? Sugary drinks, pastries, industrial products. Taking care of eating the most important meals of the day such as breakfast translates into surprising results in the short term. Eating healthy is not synonymous with eating only lettuce and tomato salads or starving at all times (in this link we talked about the food that you should consume four tablespoons a day to lose weight without effort). There are many low-calorie foods that are a fundamental ally to cope with the diet and use as a snack between meals. It is also very important to be clear that you have to forget about alcohol. These types of drinks are, like soft drinks, the ones that make you the most fat, and they can also lead to health problems. Beer, believe it or not, is the least fattening and cocktails or mixed drinks the most. It is also essential to get away from those "pleasures" for many such as pastries, chocolate palms and other sweets that, no matter how tasty they are, will only make us gain kilos.

Do you remember Morris Garages? We refer to MG, the same one that walked hand in hand with Rover until bankruptcy separated them forever. This mythical English firm, thanks to the money of the Chinese manufacturer SAIC, has been able to resurface, although not as more than one fan of the automotive sector would have liked. The proof is that the European market does not accept it, showing total indifference to the models it has launched. However, its fate has been very different in other regions of the world. The proof is in the reception it has had in areas such as South America or Asia. This situation has been due to the fact that they have managed to create an attractive range of models that stands out for a highly valued price-product ratio. Now they return to the fray with the new MG Gloster, which in its own right will be their biggest, most complete and luxurious all-road. On a technical level the MG Gloster is based on the Maxus D90 The official debut of the MG Gloster took place a few months ago, but it will not be until now that it has an event of its own. On a technical level, it is a carbon copy of the Maxus D90, so it will keep the 5 meters in length, 1.93 meters in width and 1.87 meters in height. The wheelbase remains at 2.95 meters, the same as the D90 ladder chassis. However, and although the aesthetic is also shared, there would be some differences. Highlights include an octagonal grille with chrome slats, LED headlights with DRL daytime running lights, round chrome bezel fog lamps, and sculpted bumpers and hood. Also featured is a set of two-tone alloy wheels, bold shoulder creases, chrome around the window line, chrome door handles, LED taillights and roof rails. Regarding the interior there are no images yet, although it is likely that it shares a large number of elements with the Maxus D90. However, the infotainment system that includes the i-Smart voice control system that understands more than 100 voice commands will stand out. In addition, it will come with an integrated e-SIM that is independent of the user's phone to service the suite of applications and integrated navigation system. Finally, it is time to talk about the mechanical family. First there will be a 2.0-liter turbo petrol block paired with a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission. The second option is provided by a 2.0-liter twin-turbo diesel engine mated with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The first generates 224 hp of power and 360 Nm of maximum torque, while the second offers 217 hp and a maximum torque of 480 Nm. However, and although it offers an attractive design and a high level of technology, do not expect it in Europe. For now it will be available in India, although later it could reach countries such as Brazil or Argentina.

Experts give the keys to lose weight because overweight people are at risk from the coronavirus There is no specific diet or certain foods that help prevent the spread of COVID-19, but we must strengthen the immune system against any virus with vitamin D, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, since this diet can help the prognosis of an affected person with a more weakened system is less serious. People with comorbidity and a weakened immune system are more likely to worsen their prognosis, hence it is necessary to be prepared with a good diet in the face of virus attacks. These are the recommendations of Paula Crespo, president of the College of Dietitians-Nutritionists of Valencia. Foods to strengthen the immune system The vitamin D that eggs, sardines, salmon, avocado have; calcium from dairy; and those foods rich in antioxidants and minerals, mainly fruits and vegetables, are perfect for strengthening the immune system. But it is not enough to eat these foods, you also have to do it in a varied way because each antioxidant or mineral has its function. "It is useless if we eat a lot of one thing and neglect other foods," says the expert. Regarding fruits and vegetables, the ideal would be to take two servings a day of vegetables, one of them raw, and three of fruit. Lose weight against the coronavirus Crespo advocates that measures that promote weight reduction in the general po[CENSORED]tion are placed at the same level as hygienic and social distancing measures. People with obesity are at risk for the coronavirus even if they do not have other pathologies such as respiratory diseases or cancer, according to the president of the College of Nutritionists, since weight reduction "is a way of prevention to avoid major complications and reduce the severity of the risks. " What to eat to be healthy and not gain weight? Having natural or roasted nuts at home, cans of canned vegetables or fish (sardines, mackerel, tuna) in natural or olive oil, frozen or canned vegetables would constitute "a good pantry bottom" to go back to another lockdown. As for fruits, the less watery ones such as bananas, strawberries, red fruits and kiwi can be frozen and used to, for example, prepare homemade ice cream. The same with the basic meat and fish, which can be frozen at the moment. Legumes are also part of this fundamental pantry, but not the "forbidden foods", which are the same that we should avoid "in freedom": sweets, pastries, packaged juices, sugary and energy drinks and sugary breakfast cereals. This "never, and less confined", warns the nutritionist. Crespo has warned that a recent survey highlights that there is 23% of the Spanish po[CENSORED]tion overweight and 17% with obesity, very high data that reflect "an obesity pandemic", which constitutes a public health problem in a developed country . What is wrong? There is much more regulation in advertising of unhealthy or not recommended products and, in the educational field, he insists, a subject of nutritional education in Primary Education. Studies done in Japan reveal that the nutrition course taught in schools was effective in reducing the po[CENSORED]tion's weight, which shows its need, Crespo has reiterated.

The history of the RAM 1500 TRX dates back to 2016. At that time, the FCA Group showed the entire world the Rebel TRX concept, a design exercise that featured the supercharged Hellcat V8 block under its hood. At the time, the Italian-American consortium division did not announce whether it would build a rival for the all-powerful Ford F-150 Raptor. However, those most loyal to the brand and the model have encouraged her to do so. For this reason, after four years of development and fine-tuning it is here. The RAM 1500 TRX, as defined by the brand, is the "supreme predator of the pickup world", a statement of intent. And we cannot deny that they are right, because with the data in hand we realize that there is no other similar model on the market. If you like it, we will tell you all its secrets, although you will imagine that it will not reach Europe ... The aesthetics of the RAM 1500 TRX is aggressive and robust in equal measure On an aesthetic level the RAM 1500 TRX is based on its brother. However, those responsible for the project have included new elements that help make the whole more aggressive. Thus, we find a very powerful front that is dominated by a large grille flanked by optical groups with LED technology. Interestingly, the bumper is not as aggressive as we expected, although it does not clash on the whole. On the hood we have a large functional air intake that, inside, is illuminated. Additionally, it has two other exits located on the sides. The ground clearance is considerable, helping the off-road qualities to be remarkable. All this adorned with black plastic protections so that the body does not suffer in the field. Here, too, the alloy wheels finished in glossy black stand out. Finally take a look behind. Here we also find changes, mainly focused on the name "RAM" in black. The light clusters are darkened as are the bumpers or the dual tailpipes. Still, your imprint can be further hardened, especially if you opt for items available in the Mopar Accessories Catalog. Among them are the ceiling lights or the winch. RAM has managed to create a quality interior with a high technological level If we move inside, the RAM 1500 TRX positively surprises. We are no longer facing a product of fair quality and cheap materials. On the contrary, those responsible for the FCA Group have wanted the most sporty model of this firm to be a reference in terms of materials and technology. Thus, the seats dressed in Alcantara in black and red tones with contrasting stitching or the interior inserts stand out above all. At the equipment level, the TRX is available in two versions TR1 and TR2. Thus, we find elements such as a thicker steering wheel, a digital screen for the instrument panel or a digital rear-view mirror with a built-in rear-view camera. In terms of design, the basic lines have not been altered, with a large central vertical touch screen. Where if there are changes it is in the gear selector, which becomes traditional. Brute force: 6.2 V8 HEMI with 711 hp and 881 Nm of maximum torque All in all, the really important thing about the RAM 1500 TRX is under its body. On a technical level, the similarities with his less brother are many, but the reinforcements and improvements can be counted in the hundreds. Serve as proof that the maximum towing capacity is 3,675 kilos or that it can carry up to 595 kilos. Its most direct competitor, the Ford F-150 Raptor, is satisfied with 3,628 kilos and 544 kilos respectively. This is due, among many other things, to the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI Hellcat V8 block under its hood. Its performance, as announced by the FCA Group, is really high, with 711 hp and a maximum torque of 881 Nm. For its management it relies on an automatic cut-off transmission by TorqueFlite converter with 8 relations. All in all, the engine's power reaches the ground through all four wheels. To improve field effectiveness, the TRX has three off-road driving modes: Mud / Sand, Rock and Baja. To this we must add that the wading capacity in water is really good, with 82 centimeters. Still, performance is not a problem either, with an acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 4.5 seconds and a maximum (limited) of 190 kilometers per hour. When will the RAM 1500 TRX hit the market? The RAM 1500 TRX Launch Edition is now available in the brand's configurator. The entry into production, in the center that the FCA Group has in Sterling Heights (Michigan) will take place in a few weeks. The idea is that the first units reach their customers before the end of the year, although Covid-19 could delay the deadlines if new closures occur. Of course, if you expect to see it shoot in Europe, we are sorry to say that no, it is not planned.
