The social network Twitter announced this Monday that it will begin to tag those messages that it considers to contain misleading content about the covid-19 vaccine and, in the event that these are “very harmful,” it will delete them directly. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the blue bird platform has been doing the same with information related to the severity or spread of the coronavirus, but until now it had not included information related to vaccines in this content policy. As the company itself showed in an entry on its official blog, the label that will be posted to…

We have always had it close (in fact, it grows practically all over the world) but for many years we have paid little attention to it, perhaps because of its rough appearance or because it pushed us back from its hard skin, which made it seem unapproachable. Or because, because of its sweet taste, we thought it was too caloric, or of very limited use. Well, nothing is further from reality. If the pumpkin is the great orange queen of autumn, it is also because of its health benefits and its culinary possibilities. Pumpkin is a berry. Giant, but berry.…
What if the tea bags contained microplastics? Some do, as a study by the BBC and the University of East Anglia, which has tested the six most consumed brands in the UK, has shown. That is why the Spanish startup Matcha & CO has decided to abolish them and launch powdered tea. Taken in this way, this drink preserves its beneficial effects, but there is also an increase in the absorption of its nutrients and a reduction in the risk of consuming microplastics. The four varieties of tea preferred by the Spanish are the Englisg Breakfast, the Jasmine, the Rooibos…
With exceptions, we all want a good stew, with its Pedrosillano chickpeas (although this goes in taste), its vegetables, its meat full of fat … Hum! If you are a fan of this dish, but you would like to get out of the ‘straits’ imposed by the corset of the Madrid stew, here are other regional options, which in the variation is the taste. By the way, you should know that leaving chickpeas to soak for 12 hours has gone down in history. The best thing: leaving them 24. Not only will they be done before, but according to the…
At the beginning of the pandemic, with the first confinement back in March, I already made you participate in this croquettes recipe, inherited from my mother and with which my daughter is doing her first steps. He doesn’t dare with the béchamel yet (that’s what I’m here for), but the set of spoons to shape them and the shawl dominates him. They all come out the same size, like “regulation”, as a cook from my childhood used to say. Today I share this family recipe again to honor the delicious croquettes on their International Day, today Saturday, January 16. As…
Washing your hands for 20 seconds with soap and water, not touching your face or maintaining a safe distance are some of the most important measures to avoid the spread of the Coronavirus. Unfortunately they are not enough, since this virus has many ways to access our body, including the mouth. To prevent this from happening, good oral hygiene is essential. In fact, a habit as simple as brushing your teeth helps reduce the build-up of plaque from your mouth and oral hygiene items. But what other guidelines, beyond daily brushing, can help you achieve a total cleaning? Here are…
‘Healthy’ habits that are not .By his looks, Marco could have been the kind of high school boy in an American series: burly and athletic, he spent several hours every day at baseball so, excluding some overweight, he could have passed for the epitome of adolescent health. Inside, the situation was very different: when they treated him, Doctors Michael Goran and Emily Ventura of the University of California discovered that he had developed fatty liver, a very serious liver disease. The reason: the daily 100 grams of sugar that he ingested in the form of juices, soft drinks and isotonic…
Lettuce is an almost mandatory food when we do the shopping in the supermarket, but, despite its fame, it is not the best leaf with which we can make a green salad. Beyond the lettuce The green salad is one of the dishes that we eat the most in Spain. It is a good option for a dinner, but also as a garnish: when we add it to the main meals we get a little closer to the goal of basing our diet on plant foods. The main ingredient in this salad has always been lettuce, but there are other…
Although the scientific advances of the last decade have dismantled some ideas about feeding, there are still guides that reproduce them. An example: you have to eat two or three dairy products a day to have a complete diet Outdated ideas Scientific research in the nutritional field in recent years has been dismantling some myths about food that are deeply rooted in the collective ideology. In fact some still survive. From the Twitter profile of the Aleris Nutrition Center, they recently cited some of these “ancient horrors” that are still quite entrenched in Spain today. For example: that breakfast is…
There is a lot of controversy surrounding the castration of dogs in Spain. The risks of surgery, the impact on the behavior of the animal or the feeling of mutilation are some of the effects that the owner must weigh in deciding whether to neuter it or not. From Virbac, a company dedicated to animal health, they point out some of the lies and truths that surround canine sterilization. They also remember that there are reversible options, those that allow the owner to test the effects before opting for the definitive castration. After neutering, the behavior of some dogs can…
