10 good reasons to sleep

0

Many experts consider that a good rest is even more relevant than a good diet. We will discover why it is so important to sleep or good reasons to sleep.

Many tips are given to sleep better and ensure a restful sleep of about 7 or 8 hours a day, but why do we put so much emphasis on this topic?

Good reasons to sleep

We explain 10 good reasons to sleep and avoid possible health problems caused by lack of sleep:

  1. The brain detoxifies when you sleep: the lymphatic system eliminates waste created during the day (such as amyloid-beta protein, directly related to Alzheimer’s).
  2. With only one night of lack of sleep, the correct segregation of ghrelin/leptin is altered. This means that the next day we feel less satiety / increased hunger. And, in the long run, this ends up contributing to weight gain. So if you want to control your weight, you have to sleep.
  3. Not sleeping decreases both physical performance (you will be much more tired) and mental (cognition and memory problems).
  4. Sleep deprivation contributes to an increase in low-grade chronic inflammation.
  5. A bad rest makes us metabolize glucose worse and it stays longer in the blood, which contributes to insulin resistance/obesity/diabetes.
  6. Not sleeping well worsens mood and favours a strong state of irritability.
  7. An increase in certain diseases such as cardiovascular problems, tumour processes, cellular ageing, immunosuppression, metabolic disorders, etc. They can be caused by a lack of sleep.
  8. Not sleeping reduces testosterone and growth hormone levels.
  9. Chronic stress and depression can be increased by a lack of sleep.
  10. Poor rest increases fertility problems.

Now, you have some good reasons to sleep, so do not skip your sleeping hours for avoiding health issues and stay tuned for more updates.

The proteins it contains are of high biological value since they supply essential amino acids for our body and its proper functioning. Let’s explore all the benefits and properties of chicken meat.

The basic structure of the meat varies in each case and type, but, as a general rule, it is a grouped muscle fibre that contains nerves, blood vessels and fat, as well as various respiratory pigments.

Five tricks to impress people in 30 seconds or less

0

It is said that people fall in love in just 8 seconds, less than the last attack that decides a basketball game, even less than it takes Usain Bolt to run 100 meters. First impressions are so important that even in business the effect of a way of greeting or starting a conversation remains for long. And, to do so, here we have five tricks to impress people in 30 seconds or less.

5 tricks to impress people in 30 seconds or less

1. Use your image as a personal brand

One of the easiest ways to get noticed and impress people is through sight. When you see someone well dressed and groomed, a message is already sent. It can mean that he is doing something important or worth chatting with, but it also creates curiosity and trust. Invest time in figuring out how to get the most out of yourself, something that doesn’t require a prohibitive wardrobe.

When you’re at a networking event, add an element that invites conversation. This can be a casual tie, shoes, or the colours you wear. You can have a collection of watches that are very interesting but not too expensive. If you don’t know what to buy, ask the staff or follow this little trick: buy what the window mannequin is wearing. Stores put their best outfits on their mannequins to entice you. There is nothing wrong with doing it.

2. Get others to talk about you

The most effective way to impress or get someone’s attention is if other people talk about you. Try a social status and make yourself more attractive.  To achieve this, you can take with you a hype team, a group of people you trust and who support you. You have to be honest, but it is not a bad idea to prepare a team, especially if the goals are high. What a person says has to sound natural and impressive. What are your most important qualities? There is a big difference between saying that someone is successful and others discussing their achievements. It is more impressive to give examples like: ‘he left his first company’ or ‘he wrote a Pulitzer Prize’”.

3. Start the conversations

People always search on the internet, about what to say to start a conversation with anyone. You can start with a just ‘hello’. Most of the time, you don’t need something fancy or overly polite to start a conversation. It is convenient to be the one to take the first step: “Introduce yourself and introduce the conversation”.

4. Brag without being pedantic

Anecdotes are an effective way to show off your best qualities. But, telling someone that you bought a Maserati is likely to be interpreted as an unnecessary display of your success and financial power. Instead, you can tell others about a problematic fact that you have overcome. In the case of the Maserati, you could say: ‘I was so poor when I was young that to think of having a car like this then was absurd.’

5. Learn to tell stories

If you want to be more successful, you need to learn how to tell a good story . You may not be a natural speaker, but practice makes perfect. Think about the skills and talent you want to showcase. Next, consider those experiences that can help show them. Write them down Practice over and over again with your friends in the first place until you know how to do it.

Nutritional properties of Pineapple

0

Pineapple is a fruit native to South America, specifically from Brazil, it has earned a prominent place in our kitchen for its freshness and natural sweetness. Is it convenient for us? Let’s find out some Nutritional properties of Pineapple.

The tropical pineapple ( Ananas sativus ) was discovered by Spanish explorers in Latin America. It began to be cultivated in the 19th century on the island of Hawaii and is currently cultivated in most tropical countries of the world up to 800 meters of altitude.

Precisely because of its tropical origin, it is a very sweet and refreshing fruit, very suitable for the warm climate where it originates.

Can I eat pineapple every day?
Overall, eating pineapple daily can be perfectly fine. Just be sure your pineapple is ripe enough, and observe any side effects you experience.

Nutritional properties – Pineapple

Pineapple is rich in vitamins A, B and C. And also in fibre, potassium and iodine.

Provitamin A in the form of beta-carotene:

It is a pigment that the body will transform into vitamin A according to its needs. This vitamin is necessary for the good condition of the retina and the skin, among other things.

B vitamins:

It is a group of essential vitamins for the proper functioning of the nervous system. Of this group, pineapple stands out for its content of vitamin B9 or folic acid, which is involved in the production of red and white blood cells, in the synthesis of genetic material and in the formation of antibodies in the immune system.

It also stands out for its niacin or vitamin B3, which favours the functioning of the digestive system by converting food into energy.

Vitamin C:

Pineapple contains 20 micrograms of vitamin C per hundred grams of edible fruit (a value slightly below thirty micrograms for tangerines). This vitamin participates in the formation of collagen (important for the skin and joints), red blood cells, bones and teeth, favours the absorption of iron from food and prevents the negative activity of free radicals that cause the ageing of the organism.

Minerals:

  • Potassium:  It intervenes in the balance of water inside and outside our cells. In addition, it is necessary to transmit and generate the nerve impulse and for normal muscle activity. This fact makes it especially interesting to avoid cramps in sportspeople. 
  • Iodine. It is an essential mineral for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland, which regulates the body’s metabolic rate, as well as the growth and development of the fetus, especially the brain. For this reason, it is good to eat pineapple during pregnancy.

There is no doubt that this fruit is loaded with nutrients and other helpful compounds. Pineapple and its compounds aid digestion, speeding up recovery from surgery and boosting overall immunity among others. So, hope you have got some knowledge about the Nutritional properties of Pineapple, for more updates stay tuned…

What is Dragon fruit? How can we consume pitaya?

5 Ways to Lose Fat and gain Muscle at the same time

 

What is Dragon fruit? How can we consume pitaya?

0

If you notice, it is more and more common to find new fruits and vegetables when we go to the market to make the purchase. Different and exotic products quickly catch our attention due to their texture, colour or shape, since we have never seen or tried them before. This is the case of the dragon fruit, also called pitahaya, the fashionable food among lovers of healthy food, thanks to its large number of benefits and properties.

Where does dragon fruit originate from?

The origin of this new fruit is located in Central and South America, mainly in Mexico, despite the fact that today its cultivation has spread to more countries in the area and even to regions of China and Vietnam. Centuries ago the settlers of these countries fell in love with this fruit and exported it to other areas they were conquering.

Characteristics of the pitahaya

The pitahaya or dragon fruit, as we said, is an exotic fruit with intense colour, dark red, pink or yellow, with an interior that can be white or pink, depending on the variety of cactus from which it is collected. Its flavour is extremely sweet and with a touch reminiscent of kiwi or papaya, and even avocado.

We can distinguish two main types of dragon fruit :

  • Yellow Pitahaya: Yellow in colour and with thorns. It has a higher sugar content, so its taste is sweeter. Due to its shape and colour, it is usually reminiscent of pineapples.
  • Red pitahaya: Unlike the yellow variety, it does not have thorns but rather bracts. It is slightly larger in size and has a harder crust.
We can clearly distinguish the two varieties of dragon fruit

Another of the peculiarities of this dragon fruit is that its flowering period lasts one night, during which time it pollinates and the fruit grows.

The flowers emit a very pleasant smell that can be easily perceived wherever the plant grows but, however, as soon as it is cut, it suddenly loses.

 

Some properties of dragon fruit

Composed mainly of water, pitahaya contains important minerals such as iron, calcium and phosphorus, as well as countless vitamins (vitamins B1, B2, B3 and C) perfect for keeping our body healthy. In fact, it is especially indicated for people who suffer from high cholesterol and for those who are concerned about strengthening their immune system.

  • Pitaya is a diuretic fruit that, in addition to preventing you from retaining liquids, will keep you hydrated.
  • Being a source of vitamin C, it is considered a fruit with antioxidant properties, which means that it will delay the signs of ageing on your skin. It also combats the risk of suffering from chronic degenerative and cardiovascular diseases.
  • If you want to lose weight, it will be one of your best allies because its caloric profile is minimal.
  • The seeds that are present in 60% of the pulp of this exotic fruit improve the intestinal process and prevent constipation.
  • Captin is the dominant component in the seeds of the dragon fruit or pitaya, and it reduces the risk of arrhythmia, in addition to improving the functioning of the heart.

How can we consume pitaya?

The best way to eat dragon fruit is to cut it in half and scoop out the pulp with a spoon. We do have to be careful if we don’t want to eat any of the numerous black seeds it contains and which are intermingled with its sweet and aromatic pulp. 

It is refreshing and delicious in frozen juices and fruit salads, as well as in a smoothie with an exotic touch. Most cooks can be encouraged to prepare a delicious pitahaya jam. Without a doubt, the most original jam on any table.

In addition to raw, there are different ways to take the pitahaya cooked, without losing its properties. The most frequent is to find it as a garnish for certain dishes or as an ingredient that accompanies some salads.

Now that we know a little more about this dragon fruit, will you buy it if you see it in the market?

What is sponsorship in advertising?

0

There are different strategies that can be used to make good advertising, making that message unforgettable. Sponsorship is one of them, and we are going to tell you what is sponsorship in advertising…

Definition of sponsorship in advertising

Sponsorship is an agreement between a brand and a person or entity to promote the company that is going to be a sponsor, which implies an economic-financial agreement between the parties involved. 

That is to say: The company that wants to promote is the sponsor (who pays and delivers the products to be promoted), and through whom it is carried out receives the payment and promotes the product or service.

It is a way to encourage and promote a brand in order to increase consumption. 

How it works and what are the benefits of sponsorship 

Beyond the economic objective, this way of communicating is beneficial for all parties: the sponsoring brand, the sponsor through its image and the customers.

We share some of the benefits of using this type of advertising:

  • It is not invasive:  certain types of advertisements are usually invasive (such as some television commercials, spam emails with suspicious offers, etc.). In this case, the opposite is the case, so acceptance by the public will be natural.
  • Easy integration into the lives of customers:  the fact of seeing the characters using the product or service in their lives comes naturally to people.
  • Increased brand valuation: the brand is associated with certain values, thus increasing the valuation by customers. Also naturally, it is the people who make this assessment. 
  • Open new channels of communication:  by appearing in new scenarios and opportunities, the brand opens channels to communicate that it had not previously contemplated and is beneficial for long-term communication.

E-passports with embedded chips would be deployed in 2022-2023, as per the Union Budget 2022

0

What is e-passport in India?
An e-passports, often known as a digital passport, provides the same function as a regular passport. The e-passport, on the other hand, has an electronic microchip that contains the same information as the printed passport, which is a booklet provided to citizens, containing the passport holder’s name, date of birth, and other facts.

Indian Budget News 2022-23 on E-Passport

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in her Budget address on February 1 that the government would implement e-passports in FY22-23.

“The issuing of e-passports will be pushed out in 2022-23 to improve citizen convenience,” Sitharaman stated today during her Budget address.

India might soon begin issuing e-passports that employ radio-frequency identification (RFID) and biometrics, according to Sanjay Bhattacharyya, Secretary to the Ministry of External Affairs.

The new passports, according to Bhattacharyya, will make it much easier to go past immigration checkpoints and will meet the International Civil Aviation Organization’s criteria.

The new passports’ jackets are planned to have an electronic chip with essential security information.

But what differentiates an e-passport from a regular passport?

While an e-passport seems to be identical to a traditional passport, it has a tiny electronic chip similar to those used in driver’s licences.

All of the information written on the passport is intended to be stored on the microchip, including the name, date of birth, residence, names of parents, and other facts.

The electronic chip will aid immigration counters in promptly verifying traveller information, reducing airport congestion and reducing the circulation of phoney passports.

Instead of the optical reader that is now used to scan passports, the electronic passports will be scanned using a chip reader.

How does the e-passport work?
An electronic chip is included in an e-Passport. The chip contains the same information as the data page of the passport: the holder’s name, date of birth, and other biographic information.

How do I know if I have an e-passport?
What is the looks of a biometric passport? Looking at the cover of your passport is the easiest method to determine whether it is biometric. It’s biometric if there’s a little, gold camera logo at the bottom.

Are USA passports E-Passport?
Since 2007, all passports issued in the United States have been ePassports. Given the ten-year validity of U.S. passports, all valid American passports should now be biometric passports.
