Pepsi is a carbonated soft drink manufactured by PepsiCo. Originally created and developed in 1893 by Caleb Bradham and introduced as Brad's Drink, it was renamed as Pepsi-Cola in 1898, and then shortened to Pepsi in 1961. Pepsi was first invented in 1893 as "Brad's Drink" by Caleb Bradham, who sold the drink at his drugstore in New Bern, North Carolina.
It was renamed Pepsi-Cola in 1898, "Pepsi" because it was advertised to relieve dyspepsia (indigestion) and "Cola" referring to the cola flavor. Some have also suggested that "Pepsi" may have been a reference to the drink aiding digestion like the digestive enzyme pepsin,[ but pepsin itself was never used as an ingredient to Pepsi-Cola.

AMAZING GRACE – CHEROKEE - PRAYER
GIVE PEACE A CHANCE
I never dreamed you and I would be friends
but let's give peace a chance
I get tangled up in my mind sometimes
and it leads me a merry dance
I know the Lord works in mysterious ways
and I'm open to suggestion
for it doesn't do me good to be crying all the time
in fact it gives me indigestion
so let's try for another amazing day
and another after that
and who knows before the year is out
all the past will be old hat
So many little English idioms
keep springing to my mind
and I know that time heals most everything
if we can find it in our hearts to be kind
we are all the same beneath the skin
yet we may have different points of view
but when everything is said and done
you are me and I am you
so let's begin again only better this time
leave the past where it belongs
I know, like me, you love poetry
and I hope you like some of my songs
I give all I have to my songs and poems
and express my emotions this way
so I can walk in perfect harmony
leaving all my troubles to yesterday.
There are no winners in any war
there is only loss and sorrow
let me be an instrument of Your peace, dear Lord
and with You make a better tomorrow.

These mushrooms are not edible and would give you a serous case of indigestion if eaten, but their gorgeous golden color and delightfully decorated caps and stems make excellent eye candy.
Who would ever think that an owl would open it's mouth and catch snowflakes? It's either that or this owl had bad indigestion when a strong flurry blew threw! Not the best picture quality but I adore the expression!
Not the best picture by I found it interesting. Do you see what I see? This grebe had just swallowed a fish and it was still lodged in his throat LOL. Seems to me that might cause some serious indigestion. Did not seem to both him however.
Diente de león al viento (Taxacum officinale) despreciado y desconocido.
Me atrevo a relatar alguna de sus múltiples utilidades:Distribución y hábitat
Hay indicios serios sobre una procedencia europea. En la actualidad se ha extendido prácticamente por todos los continentes.
Se encuentra fácilmente en los caminos, pastizales, prados, siembra directa, y sobre todo en jardines, tanto que es considerada mala hierba o "maleza", por los jardineros.
Usos
Es una planta depurativa, indicada para purificar el organismo de elementos tóxicos. Puede actuar en el hígado, riñón y la vesícula biliar, y con su efecto diurético evita la aparición de piedras en el riñón. También es un tónico digestivo contra el estreñimiento y la resaca de alcohol.
Para uso tópico es eficaz para limpiar la impurezas de la piel, acné, urticaria. Estas propiedades son por su contenido de inulina, ácidos fenólicos, sales minerales, entre otras sustancias que aportan beneficios en la piel.4
En algunos periodos de escasez, la raíz seca se ha utilizado como sustituto de la achicoria, que a su vez era sustituto del café. Sus hojas silvestres o cultivadas son comestibles, se prefieren las que son jóvenes y tiernas para ensaladas mientras que las maduras al ser más amargas se consumen cocidas aunque está sin confirmarse la existencia de cultivos para este fin.
Sin embargo, Font Quer en su Dioscórides renovado comenta de la existencia de cultivos en León por el látex de la raíz, rico en caucho (sin especificar la especie de Taraxacum de que se tratara).
Es una de las principales especies de flora de interés apícola en las praderas, las abejas visitan sus flores indefectiblemente, entregando muy buena cantidad de néctar y polen. Por su distribución prácticamente cosmopolita es conocido en todo el mundo por los apicultores.
Uso en medicina popular
Se llega a hablar de una taraxoterapia en cuanto al uso medicinal de esta planta; en medicina popular es usado para diversas recetas y composiciones con otros fitoremedios, principalmente como:
hepático / biliar
antirreumático, espasmolítico, anaflogístico, diurético
antidiscrático
Fitoquímica
Entre los compuestos más importantes de Taraxacum se encuentran las sesquiterpenlactonas (a las cuales se les atribuyen las propiedades antiinflammatorias y anticancerígenas), fenilpropanoides (se les atribuyen propiedades antiinflamatorias), saponinas triterpenoides y polisacáridos. Las sesquiterpenlactonas normalmente se encuentran como glucósidos, por ejemplo los taraxacósidos, taraxacólidos, dihidrolactucina, ixerina, ácidos taraxínicos, y ainsliósido. Entre los fenilpropanoides se destacan el ácido cicórico, el ácido monocafeoiltartárico, el ácido 4-cafeoilquínico, ácido clorogénico, ácido cafeico y compuestos relacionados. La inulina se encuentra en cantidades considerables en la raíz.5
Uso en fitoterapia
En fitoterapia (herbolaria) se usa también los principios activos puros mediante infusiones o decoctos, principalmente para inapetencia, indigestión y disturbios hepáticos.
Sus hojas contienen gran cantidad de vitamina A, C, hierro, llevando más hierro y calcio que las espinacas u otras hortalizas.6
Uso culinario
En las artes culinarias de países del Mediterráneo es apreciada la ensalada primaveral depurativa hecha ya sea sólo con la hojas de taraxacum o mezclada con otras verduras.
También los pétalos de las flores pueden contribuir a dar sabor y color a ensaladas mixtas. Los botones de las flores son apreciados si se preparan con aceite de oliva. Las flores también se pueden preparar en pastel e incluso fritas (rehogadas). Los tiernos brotes basales se pueden consumir al natural o con aceite de oliva extravirgen o salteados en una sartén con ajo (o aún mejor con ajo ursino).
En muchas regiones de Europa se preparaba una mermelada de estas flores. También se prepara un vino de diente de león.
Las hojas de esta planta son uno de los ingredientes del preboggion, mezcla de hierbas típica de la cocina de Liguria.
En Primavera a la Carta, un cuento de O. Henry incluido en Los cuatro millones, tal vez su obra narrativa más importante, se incluye al taraxacum officinale (Dandelion en inglés y diente de león en español) como uno de los platos primaverales (Dandelions with hard-boiled egg) en un restaurante de Nueva York y viene a ser el protagonista involuntario de una breve y simpática historia de amor, que puede leerse, en inglés, en Wikisource.

Spotted whilst walking out on a breakwater at Torre Archirafi. It was a determined character, as it would climb up this great boulder and then be washed off by a wave and that process would be repeated from time to time. I'm not sure what it was eating but that great claw was constantly being moved from rock to mouth. If it had been at home when I was a youth it would have received a right lecture on the likelihood of indigestion.

This quote is taken from the book Rooms for Vanishing by Stuart Nadler, which I found to be one of the best books I’ve ever read (which is saying a lot considering I read well over 200 books a year).
I thought about this quote a lot after I read it in the same time frame as I was visiting The Grand Canyon. Though the novel doesn’t involve even landscapes at all it seemed to fit the experience of looking into the gaping mouth I visited. Most of these days, I truly wish the world would just swallow me whole already, I have to admit. I’d be just a little gulp with no indigestion for the stomach of the world. It would be a win/win situation.

So after a frantic couple of weeks I had a free afternoon and it was pouring down so perfect for some hard drive clearing. Problem was, as usual, I found some shots I liked and did a bit of editing and so end up with even more on the computer.
I love watching otters eat - the embodiment of gusto. You can see a nosey seal in the very top left. In fact a day tracking these along the shoreline and getting down in the seaweed to watch and photograph them is just about perfect for me.

The constituents of nasturtium, such as mustard oil, are effective against certain viruses, bacteria, and yeasts, among other things. Applied externally, they stimulate circulation. Nasturtium can be used to relieve pain, improve wound healing, treat acne, and indigestion, and, when combined with horseradish, can be used to treat cystitis and upper respiratory tract infections.

Porta San Giovanni is a gate in the Aurelian Wall of Rome, Italy, named after the nearby Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano. It is made up of a single grand arch built for pope Gregory XIII in "opera forse" by Giacomo della Porta or, more probably, Giacomo del Duca, who had collaborated with Michelangelo on the Porta Pia. The confusion is because the chronology of the era merely speaks of a famous architect called Giacomo. Popular tradition insists the architect was Della Porta, for he died in crowds at the gate "which he had built" of violent indigestion brought on by melons and watermelons, returning from a trip to the Castelli Romani.

REFRANES 8/52
Advertencia para que seamos comedidos a la hora de cenar, por el gran peligro que supone la indigestión.
Acostarme tras una cena demasiado copiosa puede provocar malestar, pesadillas, inquietud nocturna...
No es tanto como para llevar a la tumba, pero no es agradable.
Y recordad:
Hay que desayunar como un rey,
comer como un príncipe
y cenar como un mendigo.
" You would really think a bird of this size would not bother with catching insects even one has big as this Dragonfly, but he spent a very happy 30 minutes around the edge of the water doing exactly that and very successfully too ... perhaps they are a cure for indigestion after eating a very tough eel ! :-)) "

Entre las frondas marginales de campos y jardines,
entre las medulas, de hojas, pétalos y flores,
entre aromas de polen y bellos esplendores,
entre la belleza que se expande a los confines.
Allí esta ella, en esa mezcla de aroma y predador,
allí acechando, se esconde la expectante,
en atisbos, deslinda emboscante y vigilante,
allí buscando su alimento nos muestra su avizor.
Demostrando que los riesgos, se adhieren con destreza,
desde las sendas más bellas, hasta la fría ensenada,
desde el estridente ruido...al silencio de mansión.
Donde ronda la apostura, se puede encontrar la fiereza,
donde nos ronda la calma, allí puede estar la celada,
donde rondan los manjares, puede estar la indigestión
He looks like he might be suffering from a bit of indigestion. Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Would you know the difference?
"The attack"
A pressure builds within the chest,
A weight that will not grant you rest.
It creeps along the arm and side,
A tightening pain you cannot hide.
A breath grows short, the air feels thin,
A sudden coldness on your skin.
The sweat appears without a cause,
You pause—but life does not.
Your jaw may ache, your back may sting,
The bells of warning start to ring.
A dizzy world, a wave of dread—
Your body knows what lies ahead.
Don’t wait in silence, don’t delay,
For time can steal your chance away.
A heart attack comes swift, unkind—
Be swift as well, and not behind.

El agave amarillo o pita (Agave americana) es una planta perenne perteneciente a la familia Asparagaceae , subfamilia Agavaceae. Originaria de México y el sur de Estados Unidos, se ha distribuido mundialmente como planta ornamental y naturalizado en muchas regiones como Sudamérica, Cuenca mediterránea, Asia, Australia y Nueva Caledonia.
Es una planta perenne acaule resistente a terrenos áridos. Las hojas suculentas son grandes (1-2 m por 15-25 cm), lanceoladas, de color blanco-azulado, blanco-grisáceo, verde o variegadas. Se disponen en espiral alrededor del centro donde permanecen enrolladas a un corto tallo central (denominado en México cayote). Poseen espinas a lo largo de los bordes, que pueden ser ondulados o dentados, de casi 2 cm. Una espina apical de unos 5 cm de longitud y de hasta 1 cm de ancho en la base.
Florece una sola vez hacia el final de su ciclo vegetativo, fenómeno conocido como monocarpismo, produciendo una inflorescencia terminal de unos ocho o diez metros de altura y una anchura superior a los 10 cm de diámetro. Desde más de la mitad de su longitud van saliendo pequeñas ramas en forma de panícula abierta, terminando cada una en un grupo de flores bisexuales de color amarillo-verdoso. Cada flor tiene un tamaño de unos 5 a 10 cm, y son polinizadas habitualmente por murciélagos. El fruto es una cápsula trígona y alargada. A lo largo de su vida emite gran número de hijuelos o retoños de raíz.
Cristóbal Colón describió en una ocasión que él había visto en el Caribe una planta que confundió con el aloe. Otros viajeros europeos, observarían su notoria presencia en zonas semidesérticas de Las Américas (razón de su nombre). El botánico Rudolf Jakob Camerarius escribió en una de sus obras que en el jardín botánico de Pisa florecía en 1583 un aloe americano; este no era otra cosa que agave americana que efectivamente floreció por primera vez en Europa en el Jardín botánico de Pisa.
Usos
Ornamental: Se usa ampliamente como ornamental. Existen variedades, especialmente Agave marginata (con el borde de las hojas de color blanco amarillento) y A. medio-picta (con una banda en medio de la hoja en vez del extremo).
Bebida: Seguramente su uso más conocido es la producción de un licor destilado llamado mezcal, del que existen numerosas variedades, entre las que figura un mezcal conocido en todo el mundo, el tequila. El zumo azucarado extraído de la savia del tallo floral antes de la floración se fermenta para producir una bebida alcohólica, llamada pulque —una de las especies utilizada para elaborar la bebida—, que a su vez se destila para obtener el mezcal.
Terapéutico: En América Central diferentes partes de la planta se utilizan externa e internamente para diversas dolencias. La savia como cataplasmas sobre heridas. Ingerida como tratamiento para diarrea, disentería, para evitar el estreñimiento, la indigestión, flatulencia, contra la ictericia y como laxante. La infusión de hojas como purgante y la raíz como diaforético y diurético.
La savia de esta especie contiene cristales de oxalato cálcico que producen dermatitis por contacto.
Otros usos: Se cultiva aún por la fibra textil de sus hojas, llamada pita, para producir cuerda, redes y otros objetos. Su elaboración consiste en machacar las hojas de la planta hasta hacer que se desprenda su parte verde y húmeda. Así se logran las fibras que hay en su interior. Luego se encordan éstas hasta fabricarse cuerdas de textura áspera de varios grosores y de un color casi blanco. Actualmente se emplean medios mecánicos y su uso es más escaso.
es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agave_americana
Agave americana, common names century plant, maguey, or American aloe, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, native to Mexico and the United States in Texas. It is cultivated worldwide as an ornamental plant, and has been naturalized in many regions, including parts of Southern California, the West Indies, South America, Mediterranean Basin, Africa, Canary Islands, India, China, Thailand, and Australia.
Despite the common name "American aloe", it is not in the same family as aloe, though it is in the same order, Asparagales.
Although it is called the century plant, it typically lives only 10 to 30 years. It has a spread around 1.8–3.0 m (6–10 ft) with gray-green leaves of 0.9–1.5 m (3–5 ft) long, each with a prickly margin and a heavy spike at the tip that can pierce deeply. Near the end of its life, the plant sends up a tall, branched stalk, laden with yellow blossoms, that may reach a total height up to 8–9 m (25–30 ft).
Its common name derives from its semelparous nature of flowering only once at the end of its long life. The plant dies after flowering, but produces adventitious shoots from the base, which continue its growth.
A. americana was one of the many species described by Carl Linnaeus in the 1753 edition of Species Plantarum, with the binomial name that is still used today.
A. americana is cultivated as an ornamental plant for the large dramatic form of mature plants—for modernist, drought-tolerant, and desert-style cactus gardens—among many planted settings. It is often used in hot climates and where drought conditions occur. The plants can be evocative of 18th-19th-century Spanish colonial and Mexican provincial areas in the Southwestern United States, California, and xeric Mexico. It is also a popular landscape plant in dry beach gardens in Florida and coastal areas of the Southeastern United States.
When grown as a house plant, A. americana is tolerant of light levels ranging from direct sunlight to shade and requires little watering. It does require a winter resting period at temperatures around 10 to 12 °C (50 to 54 °F). It should be grown in a very porous, sandy potting soil, allowed to dry out between waterings, and repotted every spring.
Cuisine
If the flower stem is cut before flowering, a sweet liquid called aguamiel ("honey water") gathers in the hollowed heart of the plant. This can be fermented to produce the alcoholic drink called pulque or octli in pre-Columbian Mexico.
In the tequila-producing regions of Mexico, agaves are called mezcales. The high-alcohol product of fermented agave distillation is called mezcal; A. americana is one of several agaves used for distillation. A mezcal called tequila is produced from Agave tequilana, commonly called "blue agave". The many different types of mezcal include some which may be flavored with the very pungent mezcal worm.
Mezcal and tequila, although also produced from agave plants, are different from pulque in their technique for extracting the sugars from the heart of the plant, and in that they are distilled spirits. In mezcal and tequila production, the sugars are extracted from the piñas (or hearts) by heating them in ovens, rather than by collecting aguamiel from the plant's cut stalk. Thus, if one were to distill pulque, it would not be a form of mezcal, but rather a different drink.
Agaves are also found throughout Latin America, and are used similarly. In Ecuador, the analog of pulque is guarango, and more recently this has been distilled as miske.
Agave nectar is marketed as a natural form of sugar with a low glycemic index that is due to its high fructose content.
Fibers
The leaves yield fibers, known as pita, which are suitable for making rope, nets, bags, sacks, matting, or coarse cloth. They are also used for embroidery of leather in a technique known as piteado. Both pulque and maguey fiber were important to the economy of pre-Columbian Mexico.
It is used in traditional medicine to treat several ailments, and as a laxative, diuretic and diaphoretic, although a systematic review did not find enough data to support its effectiveness or safety. A. americana is known to be able to cause severe allergic dermatitis.
