  1. Exercise can help both to avoid boredom and to strengthen the immune system. Soon we will all enter a preventive quarantine and many of us will telework. And if you had an active life before the coronavirus arrived, used to go to the gym to do your exercise routine, go to yoga classes, or just loved running outdoors, chances are you are not at all comfortable in this new life in which the covid-19 has immersed us. But take it easy, you don't have to quarantine your training. There's a solution. Exercising does not require large spaces, but efficient routines; And many of those routines can be done perfectly in the home environment. If you put the following tips into practice, you will be able to keep your cardiorespiratory activity, your muscles and your immune system in shape, and, in addition, you will be able to reduce the levels of stress and anxiety that confinement brings. And in case you are not in the habit of exercising your body, this article is also for you, as it will make your new permanent life at home more bearable. Build Your Gym If, obviously, you do not have any type of discomfort, that is, you feel good, find a space inside your home where you can lie down. So you can exercise comfortably and with the proper technique. In this space, locate a mat or blanket on which you can lie comfortably. That is going to be your ‘gym’ for the next few weeks, so make it enjoyable for yourself and take it as a place that will give you well-being and make you feel better. The routines They are only 30 minutes a day, and surely your usual routine will have to vary, especially if you do not have the equipment of a gym, but the options to train from home are innumerable and very powerful in terms of effectiveness. Many gyms decided to do their group classes through their social media profiles, others have apps where you can see simpler routines to do at home and if you have a personalized trainer ask them to do a routine for you at home. Of course, on platforms like YouTube and Instagram you can also find videos with many options to exercise without using anything other than your body. The important thing is that you know how to choose a routine according to your physical goals and keep in mind that, although the routine changes, it is better to move a little than do nothing: that is the worst possible scenario. High intensity, an ally In the case of cardio routines, I assure you that these days your best ally will be high-intensity cardiovascular exercise, which is done in circuits of 3 to 4 exercises without stopping, for periods of 5 to 10 minutes and with breaks of between 1 and 2 minutes per lapse. This will allow you not only to supply that part of the workout, but to continue burning fat and calories for the next 48 hours of normal activity. It is just a matter of choosing those exercises that you can do in the space of your home that you chose to train. Be creative You may be wondering if you need to buy something for your exercise routine, because not everyone has bands or weights at home. But that's not a problem, because you can use almost anything like weights, from filled water bottles to reams of paper. But the best advice is to use the weight of your own body. There are many exercises for this. For example, in routines that allow you to work with jumps in the post and isometric exercises, which are those that put stress on the muscle in a stationary way: scissors, sustained squats, pushups (push-ups), planks. These exercises, while not involving a large range of motion, do require muscle and allow you to keep it in shape. Don't do it alone Invite your family members to stay as active as you are. Prevent them from training to manage the tension of the confinement and so that, through training, they can achieve the levels of concentration that telework requires. This health emergency that the coronavirus poses to our country and to the world is a favorable moment to experience the advantages of physical activity. Sitting for 15 days or more in front of a computer or television, watching news that is not exactly positive, makes us more vulnerable, stressful and stressful. And faced with that reality, exercise not only frees us from anguish but also keeps our immune system strong and gives us the mass and bone density that we all need to be healthy, especially older adults and growing children. These days of isolation are perfect to kick-start your creativity when it comes to training. Remember that, in addition to working the physical part, exercise also has a mental dimension because it strengthens our discipline and our will. Staying at home doesn't have to be tedious or boring. Exercise and a balanced and healthy diet will make this health emergency more bearable and you will be able to keep fit while you return to the gym. Don't do it alone Youtube. One of the easiest ways to build an exercise routine at home is using the multiple videos on the subject on this platform. There are many that use only body weight and are very effective as well as high intensity in tight spaces. PPPs are another possibility: most are paid, but they are not expensive and have the advantage of being more complete and structured programs, which will take you step by step and on a path of progress if, of course, it is constant. Gyms like Bodytech, for example, have apps for their members with multiple exercises without machines that are explained in detail in short videos. Instagramers are another way. In addition, almost all of them usually have their YouTube channel. A personal trainer who designs a training plan for you and explains the routines, although these days it will have to be by videoconference and digital media, is one of the best ideas. And it sure does. We all need to keep working.
  2. For a firm like Lamborghini, brand image is vital. Thanks to this intangible, it can be located in one of the most minority and exclusive market segments: that of supercars. This situation, which would be disastrous for another manufacturer, is a gold mine that continues to explode. The last example is the birth of the Lamborghini Essenza SCV12, a very sporty and radical model that we have been talking about for some time. Its technical development has been carried out by the engineers who work in the Squadra Corse department. For its part, the design is the work of Lamborghini Centro Stile, giving it an imprint that is spectacular. The combination of both aspects has resulted in the model with the most powerful V12 block in the history of the Italian firm. If you like it, don't miss a detail, because you would like to have one in your garage. The engine of the Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 delivers 830 hp The aesthetics of the Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 has been devised with a basic premise: aerodynamics. That is why it has technical solutions that we can only see in competition models. The aerodynamic package that it assembles includes elements such as a front splitter, a double-profile rear spoiler or various air intakes that give it an aerodynamic load of more than 1,200 kilos at 250 kilometers per hour. Nor can we ignore the decoration of your body. Here we find the Verde Silvans, Grigio Linx, Nero Aldebaran Gloss and Arancio California colors. To decorate them, they have placed the logos of, among other collaborators, Pertamina, Pirelli and Roger Dubuis. Behind the scenes, we have a minimalist interior inspired by competition. In it, the FIA carbon seats or the Formula 1-type sports steering wheel stand out. On a technical level, the Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 represents the maximum in the Italian house. Its chassis is made of carbon fiber helping to maintain the final weight at just over 1,300 kilos. All in all, the real secret to his rage lies under the hood, which we take for granted is the 6.5-liter V12 atmospheric aspirated block. Its power is 830 hp that reaches the ground directly through the rear axle. For its management, the brand has relied on a sequential transmission of six relationships signed by X-trac. As a curiosity, the push-rod suspension is mounted on the gearbox, since it serves as a structural part of the chassis. Another of the goodies of the Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 is in the exhaust tails, which have been created by Carpisto to reduce the pressure of the exhaust gases and improve performance. When will the Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 hit the market? The Essenza SCV12 arrives to replace the Diablo GTR or Miura Jota. Therefore, it is a machine designed to roll in a closed circuit, which is where its potential can best be squeezed. That being the case, it is not uncommon for him to mount 19-inch magnesium wheels front and 20-inch rear that open up a Brembo Motorsport brake kit. To dress them, they have relied on slick-type tires designed by Pirelli. In short, only 40 units will be manufactured at a price to be determined. Customers who get a unit will be part of an exclusive club that will provide special activities from 2021. Therefore, if you want one, break the pig because it will surely not be cheap.
  3. Bariatric and metabolic surgery manages to extend the life of obese patients by ten years, in addition to considerably improving their quality of life by managing to remit diseases such as hypertension, dyslipidemia or sleep apnea Changes in lifestyle, sedentary lifestyle, lack of physical exercise and the abandonment of the Mediterranean diet have led to an increase in overweight and obesity among the po[CENSORED]tion. The figures speak for themselves: Spain has 16.7% of its adult po[CENSORED]tion over 18 years of age with a Body Mass Index of over 30 kg / m2; the EU average is 15.9%. Also, from 2008 to 2014, this percentage increased by 1% in Spain. It is worth noting a fact that is alarming at best, and that is that since 1975 people with overweight and obesity have almost tripled worldwide. In 2016, more than 1.9 billion adults 18 years of age and over were overweight, of which more than 650 million were obese. The consequences of obesity, also called the 21st century epidemic, have associated health problems as serious as ischemic heart disease, high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory failure, osteoarthritis, the appearance of certain types of tumors and type 2 diabetes. , obese people have a three times higher risk of diabetes than people who are not obese. Diabetes, like obesity, can be cured with surgery, and the data is clear: More than 80% of obese patients who undergo bariatric or metabolic surgery stop being diabetic. Endoscopic surgery: intragastric balloon The intragastric balloon technique consists of a latex sphere filled with physiological serum that is placed endoscopically in the stomach under sedation and without the need for patient admission. "Its main effect", explains Dr. Juan Antonio Casellas, specialist in endoscopic techniques at the Obesity Unit in Alicante, "is the decrease in the motility of the stomach, reducing the emptying time after food intake and causing, in most of the cases, a feeling of early satiety during meals. " This technique is indicated in those patients who are overweight or called type I obesity, that is, their BMI is less than 29 and who have already tried to lose weight with diets previously and have not achieved results. According to different studies, the average loss of a balloon patient is between fourteen and sixteen kilos after six months. The specialist also warns that the weight loss achieved with an intragastric balloon is only permanent in those patients who have managed to change their eating and exercise habits in a sustained manner over time, without these two premises there is a high possibility of recovering the lost weight in less than three years, so Dr. Casellas recommends the continuous supervision of a team of professionals in order to maintain weight loss. Bariatric and metabolic surgery as a solution The disease that is most frequently associated with excess weight is type 2 diabetes, which appears in overweight and obese adults because the increase in body fat increases the resistance to the action of the insulin it produces. the pancreas, which has to work harder than necessary in these cases, and ends up running out. The association of type 2 diabetes with overweight-obesity is so consistent that it has led to the definition of the concept of diabetes. Bariatric and metabolic surgery prolongs the life of obese patients by ten years, in addition to considerably improving their quality of life by managing to remit diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension or dyslipidemia, and decrease the risk of developing tumors, especially colon or breast, according to Dr. Carlos Sala, specialist of the Obesity Unit of the Quirónsalud Hospitals Alicante and Valencia. Among the techniques that have been most effective and safe to date are tubular gastrectomy and gastric bypass. "Both methods have already proven low mortality, a reduced number of complications and high efficacy in solving diabetes and associated diseases," says the doctor. These interventions are performed laparoscopically, using minimally invasive surgery, which reduces pain and possible complications. The patient is prepared to leave the hospital 48 hours after the intervention. Both vertical laparoscopic gastrectomy and laparoscopic gastric bypass are effective against diabetes, which remits in 80-90% of patients, improving in the remaining 20%. however, bypass seems more effective against hypertension and dyslipidemia. both techniques also facilitate weight loss. Currently the best and most promising is vertical laparoscopic gastrectomy or gastric tube, which reduces the volume of intake and also causes a metabolic effect correcting diabetes. Since 2014 it is the most widely performed technique in the world. It is very physiological because it does not produce malabsorption, avoiding nutritional deficits. It is indicated in patients with BMI between 35 and 45, with mild comorbidities, and with ease for dietary compliance. in patients with gastroesophageal reflux (heartburn) and severe esophagitis, we preferably recommend bypass because it also corrects it. In addition to reducing the volume of intake, they associate controlled malabsorption. The best and most accepted of all bariatric techniques against morbid obesity is laparoscopic gastric bypass. It is considered the Gold Standard or Gold Standard Technique against which the other techniques are compared. It is particularly recommended in candy-eating patients, in patients with gastroesophageal reflux and esophagitis (heartburn), and in patients with Metabolic Syndrome. These types of techniques are especially indicated in the treatment of patients with a body mass index greater than 35 or even if it is lower but causes associated serious diseases, such as diabetes with poor metabolic control, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia or obstructive apnea syndrome. of the dream. These methods help reduce between 70-80% of the excess weight of patients with obesity and offer highly satisfactory results in patients with type 2 diabetes, allowing them to completely abandon their medication, and preventing the appearance of any type associated disease.
  4. Maserati is one of the most luxurious and exclusive firms of all those that form the premium sphere in the automotive sector. True, its sales level should be higher, but if the FCA Group knows how to exploit this position, it can find its rightful place. All in all, the trident house is a specialist in creating high performance versions and sporty aesthetics to cheer up its faithful. One of the most acclaimed is the Trophy family. The last model to wear this badge was the Levante all-rounder and, things as they are, their sales improved. Now it is time to improve the lineage and, if the teaser that the brand has published does not deceive us, expand it with new models. If you want to know what they are up to, pay attention, because they are also immersed in a renewal of the mechanical range that will bring us great surprises. Maserati will present the new Trophy range in August If everything goes according to plan, the debut of the renewed Trophy family will take place in a matter of days. It will be on August 10 when we know the news that this version experiences, but it seems that there will be more surprises. In the teaser the Ghibli and Quattroporte appear, two models that until now had not enjoyed such a finish. Therefore, the trident house would be thinking of expanding the family to attract a greater number of clients. At the moment it is all we know, although with the arrival of this image the rumor-making machine has got down to business. Until now, the Levante Trophy used the 3.8-liter V8 block of Ferrari origin. However, with the breakdown of their collaboration agreement, they will have to house another drive unit under their hood. In this case, it is speculated with a new 4.0-liter V8 of its own development. If we delve a little deeper into the rumors, we could announce even the performance it would have from this new engine. Apparently, this would reach 440 kW (600 hp) although we do not know if it is the base power or if it will be the maximum and below there will be other alternatives. All in all, the presentation is only days away, although we are convinced that before that we will have new data. That is sure.
  5. Some meals can cause us not to sleep or it costs us more to fall asleep Today, society is increasingly aware of the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. Being physically active during the week, respecting sleep schedules and eating a varied and healthy diet is something that many people propose. Eating healthy, low-fat foods that contain the nutrients that our body needs is essential to get the most out of our body. However, many people who set out to acquire beneficial habits and eat a healthy diet do not know certain aspects that make them make some mistakes. For example, not indulging in a little whim from time to time can make following the diet for a long period of time tiring and we end up quitting. Another of the most common mistakes is that of the food eaten at dinner. First of all, we must remember that we must ensure that dinner is two hours before going to sleep. It is also important not to forget that the intake of a food at 10:00 am and at 9:00 pm fattens exactly the same. However, there are foods that we must avoid at night for the sake of our digestion and to get a good rest, something essential to be able to enjoy 100% of our day to day. Fruits that contain a lot of water will not help us Not a few people believe that eating fruit is something light and beneficial for the body. And yes, they are right. The negative part is that if we eat fruit with a lot of water such as melon, watermelon, pineapple, etc. it can happen to us that throughout the night we have to get up several times to the service. Being diuretics, these foods will make us eliminate liquids, something that is not negative, but that will reveal us at dawn. Therefore, it is not the best option if we have to get up early the next day. Red meat will make our digestion heavier The high amount of protein contained in red meat makes it difficult for our body to digest it more. Not to mention that Health recommends not to take this food more than twice a week and even less processed meat. If we seek to supply our body with protein, we can obtain it from other foods, such as fish. Pasta is not a good option Possibly it is known to all that pasta is not a good companion for the night. But, despite everything, many people turn to it when they get home tired, for its simple elaboration. In addition, since we hardly dirty utensils for its preparation, it is a very comfortable meal for before bed. But, its high level of carbohydrates makes this food difficult to eat. The same goes for bread. If we still want to have delicious spaghetti or macaroni for dinner, we can opt for whole grains. Chocolate will make it difficult for us to sleep Without a doubt, chocolate is one of the most tempting foods. Finishing dinner with a piece of chocolate is usually a very appetizing custom, but not recommended. If we avoid drinking coffee at night to fall asleep, we should do the same with this food. And is that chocolate contains caffeine and other stimulants such as theobrine, which causes an increase in heart rate and makes it difficult for us to relax. Mushrooms and mushrooms can give us the night Despite the fact that mushrooms are a very complete food, we must consume them in small quantities, even more so if we do it before going to bed. And, this food is very indigestible. If we consume too much, we may find it difficult to fall asleep. But neither should we be alarmed. For a few mushrooms that we add to a salad, nothing will happen.
  6. The Mercedes-Benz Citan was one of the great surprises that the Stuttgart house gave at the beginning of the last decade. This model was born as a result of the collaboration agreement that Daimler AG signed with the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance. In this way, the Gauls were guaranteed a partner who put part of the capital to give life to the Renault Kangoo. Furthermore, the Germans could jump right into a segment that was unknown to them. This collaboration agreement was losing strength over time and we all feared for the new Citan. However, this section seems to be the only one that remains strong, because they have worked together to shape it. However, we did not expect to find the surprise that comes these days: as a result of this work a new star will be born: the Mercedes-Benz T-Class, the playful and adventurous sister of the Citan. The Mercedes-Benz T-Class wants to be an alternative to the Berlingo and Rifter The last time Mercedes-Benz did an experiment and created a new Class was with the "R". The result was not as successful as they expected, as it disappeared from the market without making much noise. Now, they take advantage of the pull that the Citroën Berlingo or Peugeot Rifter has to expand the Citan range. In this way, they will have a version intended to transport goods and another to serve a broader and more adventurous audience. To announce the birth of the Mercedes-Benz T-Class, the German firm has released a teaser. In it we can only see the basic lines that define the limits of its bodywork and some tension line located on the side. We are aware that we are dealing with a mere sketch, but everything indicates that you will enjoy marked wheel arches. Maybe they are targeting crossover fashion offering off road aesthetics? “The T-Class will meet the needs of families and leisure-oriented people at an attractive value for money. It offers a large amount of space and is suitable for a variety of different uses, including passenger transportation as a reference within shared services, all without compromising comfort. Wide-opening sliding doors on the left and right sides of the vehicle, for example, allow easy and comfortable access to the interior » The new Mercedes-Benz T-Class is scheduled to hit the market in the first half of 2022. There is still a long time to go, but we are sure we will have new information and more data soon. The thing is to know how far it will differ from its Renault brother and if it will benefit from all the benefits of its platform, such as the 100 percent electric version.
  7. Following a Mediterranean diet and eating meals at the correct times influences health and weight Today's society operates at a dizzying pace that forces many citizens to plan strategies to get to the end of the day with all tasks completed. Thus, people are forced to perform their daily duties quickly and biological needs are sometimes relegated to the background. All these factors negatively affect our health causing different problems. The circadian system, a kind of internal clock, can be affected by disruptions caused by our lifestyle and lead to various diseases. This deregulation also has a certain impact on the effect produced by ingested food, something that mitigates chronic nutrition. The Spanish Nutrition Foundation (FEN) explains that chronic nutrition is "the discipline that consists in respecting the body's natural rhythm and eating food when the body is more prepared to assimilate it." The changes in this kind of clock that our body possesses "condition the effect that food produces according to the time of day that we consume it." Importance has always been attached to the type of food we eat and the energy and nutrients we provide to our bodies. But, the time of day when the food is eaten has been more unnoticed until a few years ago. However, several studies show the relationship that exists between meal times and the predisposition to suffer certain diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, cancer or even premature aging. "Circadian control of cardiovascular function, of the hormones involved in metabolism, such as insulin, glucagon, growth hormone and cortisol, is well known," says the entity. The usual times in Spain do not favor the correct maintenance of circadian rhythms, since "people usually eat and eat late, they are times that are not beneficial for the correct hormonal secretion, which poses a health risk," warns the FEN . However, not all is bad news. Spain has an advantage: the Mediterranean diet. If we also add the practice of physical activity, a quality sleep, if we avoid high levels of stress and enjoy nature, we will improve our quality of life. Another benefit of chrononutrition is its usefulness for people who want to lose weight, since it is a useful tool to lose weight more effectively. However, Spanish customs also do not contribute to weight loss. In fact, "a study carried out by Marta Garaulet in 2013 shows how eating in Spain after three in the afternoon means less weight loss compared to those who ate before three, this effect being independent of caloric intake", informs the Spanish Nutrition Foundation.
  8. The Peugeot 3008 is one of the heavyweights within the C-SUV segment in Europe. The PSA Group had good judgment when it gave the green light to this second generation and therefore the development of the third installment will be reviewed with a magnifying glass. We told him some secrets a few days ago, as there are already rumors that point to where his evolution will go. But while it arrives and no, we are going to tell you what plans they have to keep the current one attractive. The arrival to the market of the Peugeot 3008 took place in 2017. Today its commercial journey is very satisfactory, but its main rivals have been updated. This forces the Gallic consortium to authorize a face lift that improves everything that has been overcome. The aesthetics, despite being modern and sporty, will also be reviewed and, if this filtration is good, it will evolve to a new level. The Peugeot 3008 will match its aesthetics to that of the new 508 Thanks to the guys from Cochespias we have had access to a series of snapshots. They are of low quality, but in them we can see how the Peugeot design team applies certain changes to the front of the 3008. In it, we can see some optical groups similar to those that premiered the last installment of the 508. They will no longer be broken in the central area and the LED daytime running light will become embodied by two large fangs. The grill and the bumper are also under review, although compared to the previous ones its evolution is more restrained. We must emphasize that the air inlets are more generous, including two sides that provide strength to the set. Finally, we cannot overlook a detail: the number "3008" will be located on the grill, following the path marked by the last 508 and 208. Another aspect that will evolve in the renewed Peugeot 3008 is its interior. The basic design lines will not change, although it will adopt the latest evolution of the i-Cockpit system. Where there will be changes is in size and quality of the screens available for the instrument cluster and infotainment system. The rest of the elements seem to remain as we know them, although there could be more changes that are not yet appreciated. We will have to wait for Peugeot to rule on it, either confirming the evolution or denying it by presenting other material. In any case, it gives us in the nose that this is the good one, so it will not take us long to have fresh and official information, which is also important.
  9. Solved. Give by resolved this report since the answer of @BoB1 becomes a more than clear answer and another point can be seen in one of the tests of his report the reason why he gives the slay. But you are called to attention, @BoB1 , so that you treat the players with more respect, otherwise you already know the sanctions. This will be the first and last time something like this happens, so that these things do not continue to happen, try to read the rules so that you do not continue making mistakes and are penalized. >>Rules here<<
  10. Using aromatic herbs, peeling the chicken or opting for skimmed are some of the suggestions G.T / EP Interest in healthy food and leading a healthy lifestyle has grown in the Spanish po[CENSORED]tion in recent years: the traditional bikini operation continues throughout the year and more and more people are concerned with eating healthier dishes. Carol Ann, author of more than 20 books on health and nutrition, highlights: "Losing weight is a matter of mathematics. If you eliminate 3,500 calories a week from your diet, without changing your activity level, you will lose almost half a kilo of fat." The expert recalls that all meals contain calories, elements whose function is to produce energy, although she warns that there are foods that contain what are known as 'empty calories', that is, they provide energy but no nutrients. Here she points to sugar and ethanol (the alcohol contained in spirits, wine, and beer). For the specialist, these would be some effective ways to cut calories: Choose low calorie desserts The expert gives an example that half a cup of chocolate Häagen-Dazs ice cream is 260 calories, while chocolate sorbet from the same brand is 130 calories. Head over to the skimmers Ann acknowledges that the best source of calcium is milk and dairy products, although it contains saturated fat in addition to cholesterol and quite a few calories (a glass of whole milk equals 150 calories while the skimmed version 85). Use sweeteners The teaspoon of sugar in tea or coffee is 15 calories. By drinking a couple of coffees a day, with two teaspoons each, there are already 60 calories. However, it indicates that sweeteners do not have a single calorie. Toast better than sandwich A slice of sliced bread can have 65 to 120 calories. The solution is quite simple: instead of making a sandwich, prepare a toast (without butter or oil) and top with the cheese or sausage. "With something so simple, you're already eliminating about 100 calories a day," says Carol Ann. And if whole wheat bread is used, better because that extra fiber will improve the recipe even more. Modify the dressings Although olive oil is a delicacy, it contains many calories. Use less olive oil, or switch to herbs and lemon juice, and you'll be cutting calories without even noticing. Dress the vegetables Instead of dipping vegetables in butter or oil for flavor, use herbs and spices. For every tablespoon of oil and butter saved, 100 calories are cut. Peel the chicken Birds accumulate almost all the fat under the skin. A fried skinned chicken breast is 217 calories, while skinless is 160. Half roasted duck with the skin is 1,287 calories and without it, 444. Stew better than barbecue Red meats are cholesterol, saturated fat and taste delicious. But there is a difference between beef stew and grilled pork chops. If this stew is allowed to cool before eating, it will be possible to remove a thin layer of fat that is equivalent to 100 fewer calories in the meal. Wash the minced meat Fill a saucepan with water and put it on the fire. While the water reaches the boiling point, fry the minced meat until the meat is colored. When done, remove the fat from the pan with a spoon and put the meat in a colander or drainer and pour a glass of hot water on top, and another. Each tablespoon of fat removed is 100 calories less (and cholesterol and saturated fat). "Calories are not your enemies. On the contrary, they give you the energy you need to lead a healthy life. The trick is to control them and not let them control you. When you know how much energy a specific food provides you can plan your diet eating exactly what you spend, and vice versa. If you succeed, your body will say 'thank you' every day, "says the expert.
  11. One of the star models of the collaboration between Nissan and Mercedes-Benz was the X-Class pickup. The Stuttgart house wanted to venture into this segment and for this it trusted the Japanese firm. The plan seemed simple and success assured. Based on the Navara platform, they would shape a higher quality "clone" and wider equipment possibilities. However, the result of the experiment did not end as expected. The reason: the public did not understand that a product of this type cost what they asked for it. For this reason, the star's house has ceased production without making much noise. In this way, the Nissan Navara has been left alone, maintaining its market share and business cycle. And this is where the surprise would be, since the engineers of the Asian brand would have decided to rescue part of the project that gave life to the late X-Class. Nissan Navara and X-Class shared base and other technical and equipment elements Although the Nissan Navara and Mercedes-Benz X-Class shared the platform, there were some technical differences between the two. The German model offered a more robust chassis and with a greater number of reinforcements. These modifications were intended to offer a more refined driving feel and less transmission of vibrations to the passenger compartment. In this way, they marked distance with other rougher and coarser products. Well, if we take into account the rumors, the next Nissan Navara will use the solutions of the X-Class. Apparently, the Asian firm wants to minimize the development cost of its launches and the Navara would be among them. Therefore, they would endorse the changes introduced by Mercedes-Benz and place them in the next generation of their pick up. In this way, although it is not completely new, the evolution will be remarkable. There are still a couple of years for the new Nissan Navara to hit the market. There are still no test mules performing validation tests, but we know that the aesthetics will undergo a great evolution. We saw it in a teaser video where Nissan advanced its future strategy and part of the models that will be in it. However, it is still necessary to know if these changes come, or not, so you will have to have patience.
  12. The arch-repeated formula for losing weight is to combine a healthy and balanced diet with an active lifestyle that includes physical exercise. But what happens when we spend eight hours or more sitting in a chair? Sedentary lifestyle is one of the main causes of being overweight in western society. In fact, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), sedentary lifestyle is among the four factors with the highest risk of death. If we look closer, Spain is the fourth country in Europe with the highest rate of po[CENSORED]tion that does not practice physical exercise, according to the European Heart Network. And is that in addition to work, leisure activities, such as watching television or tablet, also involve a passive state. A sedentary lifestyle can lead to not only being overweight or obese; Also, heart problems, back pain, vision problems, diabetes ... How can I lose weight while working? Increase your NEAT Accelerating metabolism helps burn calories and therefore lose weight. Playing sports is a great way to achieve this, but also by increasing the basal metabolism, that is, consuming calories when we are at rest. Through NEAT (Non-Exercice Activity Thermogenesis) we can increase basal metabolism. Although it sounds very technical, it refers to those daily activities that we do and that affect the amount of calories we burn. Climbing stairs instead of taking the elevator or substituting the subway / bus for the bicycle or for walking fast are activities that help increase NEAT, and therefore burn calories. Work standing up Nutritionist Miquel Gironès, one of the most po[CENSORED]r on social networks that accumulates thousands of followers on social networks, ensures that when you are standing for several hours (either working or for any other circumstance), your metabolism is activated. Your body is working harder and that's why it's easier for you to lose fat. Try doing it for a few hours. Raise your computer or phone if you are in the office and work several hours on your feet. This will make your body work even if you do not leave the environment of your working life. You will also be tired, and that will make you sleep better at night. And it is that resting seven or eight hours in a row and quality a day is essential to lose weight. Smart bracelets Thanks to the so-called smart bracelets (and also with a simple mobile phone) you can get the device to notify you every hour and "force" you to move. Taking at least 100 steps every 60 minutes avoids sedentary lifestyle. Moving is the most important thing you can do during the day and if you manage to take 15,000 steps a day you can even lose weight or lose weight. Eating fat burning foods Diet plays a key role in losing weight, but it is not necessary to starve yourself or eat salads all day. Some natural foods help us get more satiety and speed up metabolism, making it easier to burn fat. What are these foods? Broccoli, eggs, lean meat, nuts, quinoa, tomato, Greek yogurt, fish with omega 3 ... Also liquids like coffee or lemon water are excellent natural and healthy fat burning foods. In this sense, it is better to take a tupper to eat at work with one of these options. In this way we avoid exceeding the calories that we ingest if we go to a restaurant and it helps us to choose a more balanced and healthy menu. Change soft drinks and alcohol for water at meals Do you eat with sugary soft drinks or alcohol? If you do not choose the "zero" range of the first ones or choose well what alcoholic beverages you have to drink, you will be adding too many calories to your diet (totally unnecessary). That will contribute to the most important thing of all: that you lose weight in a healthy and healthy way and that you do not do it in such a radical way that in a short time you gain much more weight than you have lost. This is what is known as the dreaded "rebound effect".
  13. Despite the general sales drop that the automotive sector is going through, there are segments that remain very strong. SUVs are saving the accounts of many manufacturers and the proof is that new proposals keep coming. Two of the firms that have made the most efforts are Hyundai and Kia and the proof is in the launches they are carrying out around the world. Next up, the new Kia Sonet. We already told you about the Kia Sonet last February. Before the Coronavirus disrupted the entire world, the South Korean firm put it forward conceptually at the New Delhi Auto Show. The model in charge of advancing its lines was called Compact SUV, but everyone took for granted what its final name would be. Now it's time for your presentation and the teaser and sketch campaign has just started. The Kia Sonet will offer an aggressive and attractive aesthetic The development of the Sonet has been carried out in parallel with another already known model, the Hyundai Venue. Both models are intended for the Indian market and share a platform, technology and different mechanical options. However, the Kia model will be more ambitious on an aesthetic level and to confirm it, you just have to take a look at the images and video teaser that the brand has published. In them, we can see that it will offer a powerful front that will stand out for a new LED daytime running light. Kia's typical Tiger Nose grill evolves by offering a three-dimensional geometric configuration called the "stepwell." The height of the hood will be greater than in other known models, such as the Stonic. The rear is another detail that appears in the video teaser, with a strip that joins the optical groups in its central area. As defined by the brand itself, after Seltos, the Sonet is the second model made by and for India. They are convinced that it will be able to capture the attention of a youthful audience that above all values technology and is socially connected. The only data that they have not published, yet, is the date of their official presentation. Of course, they announce that it will be very soon, so surely we will have it before the end of summer.

  16. It is important to maintain the balance of the microbiome to have beautiful and healthy skin Science advances by leaps and bounds and how could it be otherwise the advances have also reached the aesthetic and beauty sector, where language seems to be in continuous evolution. The last term that has been installed in our vanity case is that of: skin microbiome. But what is it? "If we look closely at the human body, we can see that we are made of 50% human cells and 50% bacterial cells. Our microbiome is a symbiotic part of us," they explain from the Lancôme Paris laboratories. That is to say, a living ecosystem of microorganism that lives on our skin and which is essential for healthy and good-looking skin. When we reach adulthood, our skin microbiome contains up to 1,000 species of bacteria, with a maximum of 2 million bacteria existing on every 2cm square of skin. Good bacteria that are essential for balanced skin. When our microbiome is in balance it fulfills three important functions: it protects our skin and releases antioxidants; Regulates excess inflammation, favors the reappearance of the epidermis and strengthens the skin's barrier to make it more resistant. Our microbiome can be affected by our lifestyle, the environmental conditions that surround us or the passing of the years. UV rays, pollution, diet, medications and hormones are some of the main factors that can weaken the ecosystem, causing premature aging, dryness, wrinkles and blemishes. How to take care of the skin microbiome? Now that we finally know what the skin microbiome is and its importance, we would have to take into account how to care for it to maintain its balance and therefore a healthy and beautiful skin. The major cosmetic brands have begun to take into account the skin's microbiome, reformulating their formulas to contribute to its balance. This is precisely the case of the iconic Lancôme serum, Advanced Génifique, which in its new version has enriched its formula with a unique blend of 7 pre and probiotic fractions, each of which offers different benefits for the skin and its microbiome. Prebiotics provide a vital source of nutrients to support the growth of beneficial bacteria, while probiotics are live microorganisms that provide general health benefits. In the formula of the Lancôme serum they use fractions of both that are obtained through biotechnological and purifying processes with which they are especially suitable and compatible for the skin. In conclusion, it offers essential resources such as sugars, amino acids and lipids, to the skin and its microbiome, feeding the bacteria in our body in order to help the skin defend itself and recover better.
  17. For General Motors to leave Russia was something we all expected. Sooner or later it would get rid of a subsidiary that, although limited, did not stop making losses. In addition, he did very well by returning AvtoVaz his participation in the joint venture, as it would have been ugly for him to take certain licenses and rights. In this way, it was possible that in the middle of 2020 we attended the launch of a novelty in 1998. Yes, these days the marketing of the new Lada Niva SUV begins, a model that has been on sale for almost a quarter of a century. The first unit of this all-rounder Spartan came off the assembly line like Chevrolet. The reason for this was simple: General Motors took over this trade name. Thus, AvtoVaz had to modify the name of its predecessor, which became known worldwide as Lada 4 × 4. The Lada Niva SUV is a best seller in Russia and Eastern Europe If we look at the aesthetics of the new Lada Niva SUV, we can see that it receives few changes, if not any. The most important focus on integrating the logo of the Russian house on the front. This same element also lands in the central area of the steering wheel. In this way, all traces of General Motors and Chevrolet, which until now located his bow tie in both places, are erased. Regarding its technical or dynamic qualities, AvtoVaz defines the Niva as a capable and robust model adapted to urban life. But beyond the versions intended for asphalt use, there are others with better off-road qualities. Thus, you receive a snorkel, off-road tires and a body kit that features more prominent and robust fenders. Behind the scenes, the Niva also presents news although somewhat veteran. At a technological level, it has a 7-inch central touch screen with access to applications. There is also no lack of elements such as parking sensors, rear view cameras or air conditioning with windshields and heated seats. Where it falters is in terms of safety, because the Niva is limited to including ABS and several airbags. All in all, AvutoVaz hopes that its sales level will be maintained and even increased. Its generational replacement is scheduled for the year 2021 or 2022 and will be based on the Dacia Duster. It remains to be seen if it finally arrives, although with the support of the Renault Group, the case could now be given.

  19. The options of suffering these types of cancer also go up among those who have lost teeth People who have periodontal disease, called gum disease, may have an increased risk of developing some forms of cancer, suggests a letter published in the journal 'Gut' detailing a prospective study. American researchers found that a history of periodontal disease appeared to be associated with an increased risk of esophageal and gastric cancer, and this risk was also higher among people who had previously lost teeth. Previous findings on the relationship of periodontal disease and tooth loss to esophageal and gastric cancer had been inconsistent. Therefore, a team of researchers at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health in the United States conducted a study of patient data over decades of follow-up. They examined the association of a history of periodontal disease and tooth loss with the risk of esophageal and gastric cancer in 98,459 women in the Nurses' Health Study (1992-2014) and 49,685 men in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (1988-2016). ). Dental measurements, demographics, lifestyle, and diet were assessed using follow-up questionnaires, and self-reported cancer diagnosis was confirmed after reviewing medical records. The results showed that during 22-28 years of follow-up, there were 199 cases of esophageal cancer and 238 cases of gastric cancer. A history of periodontal disease was associated with a 43% and 52% increased risk of esophageal and gastric cancer, respectively. Compared to people without tooth loss, the risks of esophageal and gastric cancer for those who lost two or more teeth were also moderately higher: 42% and 33%, respectively. Furthermore, among individuals with a history of periodontal disease, the absence of tooth loss and the loss of one or more teeth were also associated with a 59% increased risk of esophageal cancer compared to those without a history of periodontal disease. and without tooth loss. Similarly, the same group of individuals had a 50% and 68% increased risk of gastric cancer, respectively. The authors point out possible reasons for an association between oral bacteria (oral microbiota) and esophageal and gastric cancer, with evidence from other studies suggesting that tannerella forsitia and porphyromonas gingivalis, members of the 'red complex' of periodontal pathogens, were associated with the presence or risk of esophageal cancer. Another possible reason is that poor oral hygiene and periodontal disease could promote the formation of endogenous nitrosamines that are known to cause gastric cancer through nitrate-reducing bacteria. This was an observational study, so firm conclusions about cause and effect cannot be drawn, and researchers cannot rule out the possibility that some of the observed risk may be due to other unmeasured factors. However, they conclude that "together, these data support the importance of the oral microbiome in esophageal and gastric cancer. Further prospective studies that directly assess the oral microbiome are warranted to identify the specific oral bacteria responsible for this relationship," they suggest. The additional findings may serve as easily accessible non-invasive biological markers and help identify individuals at high risk for these cancers. "
  20. Today, no one can deny that the Countryman is the model that brings the most sales to Mini. The English firm, still transgressing its principles, has created a striking product that has managed to conquer the hearts of the public around the world. To this we must add that it offers mechanical versions for all tastes, with plug-in hybrid alternatives and other sports such as the rabid John Cooper Works. The current Countryman underwent a slight restyling at the beginning of the year to update its imprint and equipment. As we already told you, the evolution was more nuanced than in depth, but enough so that its rivals did not surpass it. Now comes the update for the Mini Countryman John Cooper Works, proving that sportiness and functionality don't have to be at odds. If you like it, don't miss it, because it matures in everything. Mini Countryman John Cooper Works aesthetic is more mature As you can see, the aesthetics of the Mini Countryman John Cooper Works is more mature. Of course, sportsmanship is not forgotten and for this it has elements that emphasize this spirit. Among the most outstanding we have the new front grill or the inclusion of standard LED technology in its optical groups. In case of opting for more advanced headlights, you can equip adaptive LEDs with variable light distribution. If we lag behind, we see how the design of the Union Jack light is integrated into its LED light groups. From there we make the jump to the bumper, where we find some double chrome exhaust tips that measure 9.5 centimeters each. Nor can we overlook the glossy black accents on the door handles. Finally, the color palette receives two new shades: White Silver metallic and Sage Green metallic. The interior respects the Mini heritage but with more careful materials Behind the scenes, the Mini Countryman John Cooper Works has little change. The basic lines of design and layout of controls and controls are maintained as in the other versions that make up the range. However, those responsible for the brand have included elements that provide a more technological touch. Thus, optionally, the instrument cluster can include a 5-inch-size digital display. Connectivity is another aspect that evolves, but also optionally. Thus, the central screen can be 8.8 inches with an updated design. It now features a piano black finished bezel and tactile controls. Thanks to a SIM card, the Countryman can install the Mini Navigation Plus system with real-time traffic alert. There will also be no lack of elements such as the Internet, Apple CarPlay or Amazon's Alexa. The mechanics of the Countryman John Cooper Works are still rabid and powerful Mechanically, the Mini Countryman John Cooper Works has no changes, but does not need them either. Thus, the 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline unit with 225 kW (306 hp) and 450 Nm of maximum torque remains under the hood. Its strength reaches the ground through all four wheels thanks to the effective ALL4 all-wheel drive system. All this, managed through the delicious 8-speed Steptronic Sport automatic transmission. Thanks to this set it offers outstanding features. Thus, it signs an acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour of 5.1 seconds. To control this momentum, in the standard equipment we find a sports braking system with four-piston calipers in the front train and one piston in the rear. In addition, pulling extras can include a sports suspension that reduces body roll and sticks the car to the ground. When does the Mini Countryman John Cooper Works hit the market? According to the statement issued by the English firm, the first units of the Countryman John Cooper Works will arrive next November. Until then we will not have more details on how the list of standard and optional equipment is composed. Official rates have also not been announced, although the brand will make them public once the launch approaches.
  21. The authors point out that other environmental and genetic factors influence brain age. Drinking and smoking daily may be associated with modest increases in relative brain age compared to those who drink and smoke less, according to new research published in the journal 'Scientific Reports'. This study has shown that certain lifestyle habits, such as smoking and alcohol consumption, are associated with adverse effects in specific brain regions. However, it is not clear how tobacco and alcohol use may be associated with brain age, especially when considering the entire brain. USC researcher Stevens Hall for Neuroimaging Arthur W. Toga and colleagues at the University of Southern California used machine learning and MRI methods to identify relative brain age in 17,308 individuals aged 45 to 81 whose data were included in the Biobank of the United Kingdom. Relative brain age is the brain age of an individual based on MRI measurements, compared to the average brain age of their peers. The authors found that in 11,651 individuals for whom information on smoking was collected, those who smoked most or every day had a higher relative brain age than those who smoked less or did not smoke. Each group of additional years of smoking was associated with a 0.03-year increase in relative brain age. One pack year was defined as smoking one pack of cigarettes per day on average for an entire year. In 11,600 individuals from whom information was collected on alcohol consumption behavior, those who drank alcohol most days had a higher relative brain age than those who drank less or not at all. Each additional gram of alcohol consumption per day was associated with a 0.02-year increase in relative brain age. The authors caution that, in addition to tobacco and alcohol use, other environmental and genetic factors may be associated with brain age, so studies on larger samples are needed to further clarify these associations.
