Peppermint Benefits
Peppermint is an excellent digestive aid. It soothes and calms the digestive system when used internally or externally. I use it to make my Digestion Tincture, which I use for morning sickness, motion sickness, and stomach aches. Peppermint helps get rid of gas, indigestion and heartburn. It’s also good for relaxing nerves and improving circulation. This tincture literally gets me through the first three months of pregnancy.
Peppermint Leaf makes a delicious, calming (and caffeine free) tea that is invigorating in the morning and which improves digestion if consumed after meals.
I use Peppermint Essential Oil and Peppermint Tea as a natural headache remedy (oil on the back of neck and the temples and drink the tea).
A mild peppermint tea consumed internally or added to a bath can help bring down a fever gently without medicine and without interfering with the body’s ability to fight illness.
HMM :-)
IN….digestion!! Not likely the scene that you’ll want to look at during mealtime and not the photo that you would like to post if you are trying to demonstrate the sharpness of your camera, but it’s something that some people might not know. When these herons catch a crab or any other crustation and eat it, they usually swallow every bit of the prey and that includes the shell. The shells are not digestible and they are not passed by the heron either and so there has to be a method to get rid of all of those tiny pieces of shell and pinchers. It all comes out in pellet form as you can see in this capture…that is if you can see through the leaves of the tree. Not so clear, but I hope you get the picture. This Yellow-crowned Night Heron was perched up in a tree and there was a very small hole through the branches to see him and make the capture. I repositioned the canoe a number of times and was able to come away with this capture. He was not at all amused by my presence and wanted to be left alone. Didn’t realize this was happening at the time.
In case you want a better view of what actually happens, you can view the capture that was taken roughly 8 years ago.
Also, a bit of additional information. The day was heavily overcast and I would normally go to Horsepen Bayou, but decided to paddle Armand Bayou which is easily accessible from Bay Area Park. It was different and there were quite a few birds to be seen.
BTW, the content and quality should improve tomorrow. I guess that's somewhat of a guarantee…lol!

This insect met a sticky and grizzly end. Sundews are very good at what they do! [Wianamatta Nature Reserve, NSW]
Eating an abundance of junk seems normal to today’s generation. Over the past few years, in urban metropolitan cities, the tradition of eating home cooked Indian food is swapped by quick fix snacks, chips and biscuits etc. Easy availability and low cost are a major cause for the growing fad for junk food among kids. Junk food is a classic example of unbalanced diet usually characterized by high proportion of carbohydrates, refined sugar, salt, fats and low nutritional value, which can raise various health concerns like obesity, cardiac disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure etc. These food are processed and refined in such a way that they lose most of the key nutrients, have low fiber and poor water content. Effects of junk food on our digestive system: Junk food is unhealthy for digestive system as they slowdown the digestion process making the stomach bloated. In order to digest food, stomach needs enzymes and fast food does not have them. When food is absorbed by the intestine it requires fiber and water to excrete but they don't have such nutrients which leads to poor digestion and irritable bowels. Carbs and sugar in fast food and processed food can increase acids in your mouth. These acids can break down tooth enamel. As tooth enamel disappears, bacteria can take hold, and cavities may develop.
Obesity can also lead to complications with bone density and muscle mass. People who are obese have a greater risk for falling and breaking bones. It’s important to keep exercising to build muscles, which support your bones, and maintain a healthy diet to minimize bone loss.Fast food may satisfy hunger in the short term, but long-term results are less positive. People who eat fast food and processed pastries are 51 percent more likely to develop depression than people who don’t eat those foods or eat very few of them.Excess calories from fast-food meals can cause weight gain. This may lead toward obesity.Obesity increases your risk for respiratory problems, including asthma and shortness of breath. The extra pounds can put pressure on your heart and lungs and symptoms may show up even with little exertion. You may notice difficulty breathing when you’re walking, climbing stairs, or exercising. For children, the risk of respiratory problems is especially clear. One study found that children who eat fast food at least three times a week are more likely to develop asthma.Most fast food, including drinks and sides, are loaded with carbohydrates with little to no fiber. When your digestive system breaks down these foods, the carbs are released as glucose (sugar) into your bloodstream. As a result, your blood sugar increases. Your pancreas responds to the surge in glucose by releasing insulin. Insulin transports sugar throughout your body to cells that need it for energy. As your body uses or stores the sugar, your blood sugar returns to normal.How many carbs should you eat in a day? » This blood sugar process is highly regulated by your body, and as long as you’re healthy, your organs can properly handle these sugar spikes. But frequently eating high amounts of carbs can lead to repeated spikes in your blood sugar. Overtime, these insulin spikes may cause your body’s normal insulin response to falter. This increases your risk for weight gain, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. Swinging through the drive-thru or hopping into your favorite fast-food restaurant tends to happen more often than some would like to admit. According to the Food Institute’s analysis of data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, millennials alone spend 44 percent of their budget’s food dollars on eating out.
Junk food is a pejorative term for food containing high levels of calories from sugar or fat with little fibre, protein, vitamins or minerals. Junk food can also refer to high protein food like meat prepared with saturated fat. Food from many hamburger outlets, pizza and fried chicken outlets is often considered as junk food.
Concerns about the negative health effects resulting from a "junk food"-heavy diet, especially obesity, have resulted in public health awareness campaigns, and restrictions on advertising and sale in several countries.

Origin of the term
The term junk food dates back at least to the early 1950s,although it has been reported that it was coined in 1972 by Michael F. Jacobson of the Center for Science in the Public Interest.In 1952, it appeared in a headline in the Lima, Ohio, News, "fish, 'Junk Foods' Cause Serious Malnutrition", for a reprint of a 1948 article from the Ogden, Utah, Standard-Examiner, originally headlined, "Dr. Brady’s Health Column: More Junk Than Food". In it, Dr. Brady writes, "What Mrs. H calls 'junk' I call cheat food. That is anything made principally of white flour and or refined white sugar or syrup. For example, white bread, crackers, cake, candy, ice cream soda, chocolate malted, sundaes, sweetened carbonated beverages."The term cheat food can be traced back in newspaper mentions to at least 1916.
Definitions
Andrew F. Smith, in his book, Encyclopedia of Junk Food and Fast Food, defines junk food as "those commercial products, including candy, bakery goods, ice cream, salty snacks, and soft drinks, which have little or no nutritional value but do have plenty of calories, salt, and fats. While not all fast foods are junk foods, most are. Fast foods are ready-to-eat foods served promptly after ordering. Some fast foods are high in calories and low in nutritional value, while other fast foods, such as salads, may be low in calories and high in nutritional value."
Junk foods have empty calories, i.e. the energy content is not complemented with proteins and lipids required for a nutritious diet. François Magendie showed by experiment in 1816 that dogs died when fed only sugar.
Foods commonly considered junk foods include salted snack foods, gum, candy, sweet desserts, fried fast food, and sugary carbonated beverages. Many foods such as hamburgers, pizza, and tacos can be considered either healthy or junk food depending on their ingredients and preparation methods.[14] The more highly processed items usually fall under the junk food category, including breakfast cereals that are mostly sugar or high fructose corn syrup and white flour or milled corn.
Especially in the case of ethnic foods, a classification as "junk food" could be perceived as rather offensive, given that such foods may have been prepared and consumed for centuries and may contain healthy ingredients.[citation needed] In the book, Panic Nation: Unpicking the Myths We're Told About Food and Health, a complementary point is argued: food is food, and if there is no nutritional value, then it isn't a food of any type, "junk" or otherwise. Co-editor Vincent Marks explains, "To label a food as 'junk' is just another way of saying, 'I disapprove of it.' There are bad diets - that is, bad mixtures and quantities of food - but there are no 'bad foods' except those that have become bad through contamination or deterioration."
Popularity and appeal
Junk food in its various forms is extremely popular, and an integral part of modern popular culture. In the US, annual fast food sales are in the area of $160 billion, compared to supermarket sales of $620 billion (a figure which also includes junk food in the form of convenience foods, snack foods, and candy). In 1976, "Junk Food Junkie", the tale of a junk food addict who pretends to follow a healthy diet by day, while at night he clandestinely gorges on Hostess Twinkies and Fritos corn chips, McDonald's and KFC, became a Top 10 pop hit in the US. Thirty-six years later, Time placed the Twinkie at #1 in its "Top 10 Iconic Junk Foods" special feature: "Not only...a mainstay on our supermarket shelves and in our bellies, they've been a staple in our popular culture and, above all, in our hearts. Often criticized for its lack of any nutritional value whatsoever, the Twinkie has managed to persevere as a cultural and gastronomical icon."
America also celebrates an annual National Junk Food Day on July 21. Origins are unclear; it is one of around 175 US food and drink days, most created by "people who want to sell more food", at times aided by elected officials at the request of a trade association or commodity group. "In honor of the day," Time in 2014 published, "5 Crazy Junk Food Combinations". Headlines from other national and local media coverage include: "Celebrate National Junk Food Day With… Beer-Flavored Oreos?" (MTV); "National Junk Food Day: Pick your favorite unhealthy treats in this poll" (Baltimore);"Celebrities' favorite junk food" (Los Angeles); "A Nutritionist's Guide to National Junk Food Day" with "Rules for Splurging" (Huffington Post); and "It's National Junk Food Day: Got snacks?" (Kansas City).
It is well-established that the poor eat more junk food overall than the more affluent, but the reasons for this are not clear.[29] Few studies have focused on variations in food perception according to socio-economic status (SES); some studies that have differentiated based on SES suggest that the economically challenged don't perceive healthy food much differently than any other segment of the population.Recent research into scarcity, combining behavioral science and economics, suggests that, faced with extreme economic uncertainty, where even the next meal may not be a sure thing, judgment is impaired and the drive is to the instant gratification of junk food, rather than to making the necessary investment in the longer-term benefits of a healthier diet.
Health effects
When junk food is consumed very often, the excess fat, simple carbohydrates, and processed sugar found in junk food contributes to an increased risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease, and many other chronic health conditions.[33] A case study on consumption of fast foods in Ghana suggested a direct correlation between consumption of junk food and obesity rates. The report asserts that obesity resulted to related complex health concerns such upsurge of heart attack rates. Studies reveal that as early as the age of 30, arteries could begin clogging and lay the groundwork for future heart attacks.Consumers also tend to eat too much in one sitting, and those who have satisfied their appetite with junk food are less likely to eat healthy foods like fruit or vegetables.
Testing on rats has indicated negative effects of junk food that may manifest likewise in people. A Scripps Research Institute study in 2008 suggested that junk food consumption alters brain activity in a manner similar to addictive drugs like cocaine and heroin. After many weeks with unlimited access to junk food, the pleasure centers of rat brains became desensitized, requiring more food for pleasure; after the junk food was taken away and replaced with a healthy diet, the rats starved for two weeks instead of eating nutritious fare. A 2007 study in the British Journal of Nutrition found that female rats who eat junk food during pregnancy increased the likelihood of unhealthy eating habits in their offspring.
Other research has been done on the impact of sugary foods on emotional health in humans, and has suggested that consumption of junk food can negatively impact energy levels and emotional well-being.
Anti-junk food measures
A number of countries have adopted, or are considering, various forms of legislated action to curb junk food consumption. In 2014, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to health, Anand Grover, released his report, "Unhealthy foods, non-communicable diseases and the right to health", and called for governments to "take measures, such as developing food and nutrition guidelines for healthy diets, regulating marketing and advertising of junk food, adopting consumer-friendly labelling of food products, and establishing accountability mechanisms for violations of the right to health."
An early, high-profile and controversial attempt to identify and curb junk food in the American diet was launched by the so-called McGovern Committee, formally, the United States Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs, between 1968 and 1977, chaired by Senator George McGovern. Initially formed to investigate malnutrition and hunger in the US, the committee's scope progressively expanded to include environmental conditions that affected eating habits, like urban decay, then focused on the diet and nutritional habits of the American public. It criticized the use of salt, sugar and fat in processed foods, noted problems with overeating and the high percentage of ads for junk food on TV, and stated that bad eating habits could be as deadly as smoking. The findings were heavily criticized and rebutted from many directions, including the food industry, the American Medical Association, and within the committee itself. In 1977, the committee issued public guidelines under the title, Dietary Goals for the United States, which became the predecessor to Dietary Guidelines for Americans, published every five years beginning in 1980 by the US Department of Health and Human Services.
Taxation
In an attempt to reduce junk food consumption through price control, forms of Pigovian taxation have been implemented. Targeting saturated fat consumption, Denmark introduced the world's first fat-food tax in October, 2011, by imposing a surcharge on all foods, including those made from natural ingredients, that contain more than 2.3 percent saturated fat, an unpopular measure that lasted a little over a year.[45][46][47] Hungary has also imposed a tax on packaged foods that contain unhealthy concentrations, such as beverages containing more than 20 mg of caffeine per 100 ml.Norway taxes refined sugar, and Mexico has various excises on unhealthy food.[49] On April 1, 2015, the first fat tax in the US, the Navajo Nation's Healthy Diné Nation Act of 2014, mandating a 2% junk food tax, came into effect, covering the 27,000 sq. mi. of Navajo reservation; the Act targeted problems with obesity and diabetes among the Navajo population.
Advertising
Junk food that is targeted at children is a contentious issue. In "The Impact of Advertising on Childhood obesity", the American Psychological Association reports: "Research has found strong associations between increases in advertising for non-nutritious foods and rates of childhood obesity."[51] In the UK, efforts to increasingly limit or eliminate advertising of foods high in sugar, salt or fat at any time when children may be viewing are ongoing.The UK government has been criticized for failing to do enough to stop advertising and promotion of junk food aimed at children.
Controversy over junk food promotions during Australian cricket matches was reported in the news media in early 2015. A Wollongong University study showed that junk food sponsors were mentioned over 1,000 times in a single match broadcast, which included ads and branding worn on players' uniforms and on the scoreboard and pitch. A coalition of Australian obesity, cancer and diabetes organizations called on Cricket Australia, the sport's governing body, to "phase out sponsorships with unhealthy brands", emphasizing that cricket is a "healthy, family-oriented sport" with children in the audience. Many countries have restricted advertising of junk food.
Behavior problems
In a study by the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the frequency of consumption of 57 foods/drinks of 4000 children at the age of four and a half were collected by maternal report. At age seven the 4000 children were given the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). The test was divided into 5 sections: hyperactivity, conduct problems, peer problems, emotional symptoms and pro-social behavior. A one standard deviation increase in junk food was then linked to excessive hyperactivity in 33% of the 4000 children. In conclusion, children with excess junk food at the age of seven are more likely to be in the top third of the hyperactivity sub-scale; however, there is not enough correlation between junk food and the other sub-scales such as emotional symptoms and peer problems.
A differenza del pepe, che notoriamente non fa molto bene alla salute, il peperoncino ha molte proprietà benefiche.
* Favorisce la secrezione di succhi gastrici e la digestione; in alcune regioni del sud viene preparato un infuso digestivo a base di camomilla, peperoncino e miele da offrire ai commensali dopo un abbondante pasto.
* Aiuta i postumi di una sbornia; in questo caso verrà preparato un infuso a base di assenzio e tintura madre di peperoncino.
* Ha ottime proprietà di vasodilatatore e anticolesterolo, in più aiuta i capillari a rimanere elastici e permette l’ossigenazione del sangue.
* In caso di artriti e reumatismi, il peperoncino fatto macerare nell’alcol e poi usato come impacco sulle parti doloranti, aiuta ad alleviare il dolore.
* È un potente anti-cancro perché possiede vitamina C che rafforza le difese immunologiche contro le degenerazioni tumorali.
* La medicina ayurvedica e quella Cinese sostengono che il peperoncino sia un ottimo rimedio contro depressione e inappetenza perché stimola lo spirito e il sangue.
* Ha poteri decongestionanti e antinfiammatori, quindi andrebbe usato in caso di laringiti raucedini e tossi.
* Il peperoncino previene infarti e malattie cardiovascolari e un uso costante abbassa il colesterolo, e rafforza arterie e cuore; questo perché il suo seme possiede molti acidi insaturi che puliscono i vasi sanguigni.
* Essendo ricco di vitamina E, considerata la vitamina della fecondità e della potenza sessuale, il peperoncino è un ottimo afrodisiaco.
Quando il peperoncino è da evitare
Pur avendo molti poteri, il peperoncino va evitato:
* nei bambini, perché è meglio attendere i 12/13 anni
* quando si soffre di acidità di stomaco, ulcera, epatite, cistite ed emorroidi
* un uso eccessivo può irritare mucose intestinali, stomaco e reni
* in caso di arrossamenti cutanei sono sconsigliati impacchi esterni
Il peperoncino come promotore di bellezza
Negli ultimi anni, esperimenti e studi hanno sottolineato anche il ruolo positivo del peperoncino nei trattamenti di bellezza, e in modo particolare per:
* Acne
una maschera facciale a base di peperoncino e argilla aiuta a mantenere la pelle giovane e fresca, impedendo alle impurità di depositarsi sul viso.
* Capelli spenti e opachi
mangiare peperoncino e usare lozioni a base di alcol e peperoncino (frizionato poi sui capelli due volte al giorno), aiuta ai capelli a ritrovare splendore.
* Cellulite
fanghi a base di argilla e peperoncino in polvere sono ottimi per impacchi e cataplasmi nelle zone del corpo maggiormente adipose.
* Cura del corpo e del viso
i massaggi effettuati sul corpo con olio e peperoncino aiutano a regalare vitalità corporea e a coadiuvare gli allenamenti degli sportivi.

Il paese d'origine dell'erba cipollina sembra essere la Cina, ove quest'erba, che predilige come substrato un terreno fresco e ricco, era apprezzata già quattromila anni or sono ed è comunemente usata in cucina.
Si tagliano le foglie a seconda delle proprie necessità, avendo l'accortezza di non reciderle alla base, ma di lasciarne qualche centimetro in modo da favorire la ricrescita.
Chi gradisce il sapore della cipolla, ma non la digerisce quando la aggiunge cruda alle insalate, può sostituirla con qualche foglia di erba cipollina ben affettata. La digestione è assicurata, anzi facilitata, e inoltre l'alito non darà problemi :)

Le Grand cormoran est un bon plongeur ; il peut plonger jusqu'à 10 mètres de profondeur pour capturer sa proie, voire 30 mètres. Il nage rapidement sous l'eau et peut tenir une minute en plongée.
Il ne peut toutefois y demeurer longtemps car il ne possède pas comme les autres palmipèdes de glande uropygienne permettant d'imperméabiliser son plumage. De ce fait, l'eau mouille son plumage et leste l'oiseau lui permettant d'aller plus en profondeur pour attraper des poissons.
Une fois sorti de l'eau, perché ou au sol, il passe parfois des heures à se sécher, ailes et queue déployées (on parle de position en étendard). Ce comportement pourrait également avoir un rôle social et un rôle dans la digestion.
Profile shot with one eye, that's what makes a typical Luan portrait. He looks quite lovely though and it's time for a little update on his health situation. Luan, who has been diagnosed with pancreatitis and gastritis seems to be doing slightly better these days. He has more appetite and is a little more active although things are still far from normal. The main problem he seems to have at the moment is that his stomach often doesn't empty as it should. Sometimes he solves the problem by vomiting which makes him feel better afterwards but of course that's not really a solution. I hope that on the long run the medication will help him to resume a normal digestion. For the moment I'm already happy that he wants to eat and that he doesn't need painkillers and antibiotics anymore.

En biología, el término fungi (latín, literalmente "hongos") designa a un grupo de organismos eucariotas entre los que se encuentran los mohos, las levaduras y los organismos productores de setas. Se clasifican en un reino distinto al de las plantas, animales y protistas. Se distinguen de las plantas en que son heterótrofos; y de los animales en que tienen paredes celulares, como las plantas, pero compuestas por quitina, en vez de celulosa, y en que se alimentan por absorción, como las plantas. Se ha descubierto que organismos que parecían hongos en realidad no lo eran, y que organismos que no lo parecían en realidad sí lo eran, si llamamos "hongo" a todos los organismos derivados del que ancestralmente adquirió la capacidad de formar una pared celular de quitina. Debido a ello, si bien este taxón está bien delimitado desde el punto de vista evolutivo, aún se están estudiando las relaciones filogenéticas de los grupos menos conocidos, y su lista de subtaxones ha cambiado mucho con el tiempo en lo que respecta a grupos muy derivados o muy basales.
Los hongos se encuentran en hábitats muy diversos: pueden ser pirófilos (Pholiota carbonaria) o coprófilos (Psilocybe coprophila). Según su ecología, se pueden clasificar en cuatro grupos: saprofitos, liquenizados, micorrizógenos y parásitos. Los hongos saprofitos pueden ser sustrato específicos: Marasmius buxi o no específicos: Mycena pura. Los simbiontes pueden ser: hongos liquenizados basidiolichenes: Omphalina ericetorum y ascolichenes: Cladonia coccifera y hongos micorrízicos: específicos: Lactarius torminosus (solo micorriza con abedules) y no específicos: Hebeloma mesophaeum. En la mayoría de los casos, sus representantes son poco conspicuos debido a su diminuto tamaño; suelen vivir en suelos y juntos a materiales en descomposición y como simbiontes de plantas, animales u otros hongos. Cuando fructifican, no obstante, producen esporocarpos llamativos (las setas son un ejemplo de ello). Realizan una digestión externa de sus alimentos, secretando enzimas, y que absorben luego las moléculas disueltas resultantes de la digestión. A esta forma de alimentación se le llama osmotrofia, la cual es similar a la que se da en las plantas, pero, a diferencia de aquellas, los nutrientes que toman son orgánicos. Los hongos son los descomponedores primarios de la materia muerta de plantas y de animales en muchos ecosistemas,
Pikas belong to the order Lagomorpha which also includes Rabbits and Hares. They spend their summer and early fall months building "haystacks" which provide the food necessary when they live under the snow in winter. I also posted a shot of this Pika at work on its cache of plants which here incudes hedysarum, gooseberry, willow, buffalo berry, lupine, vetch, dwarf huckleberry, evergreen sprigs, grasses and sedges. They also collect Marmot and Coyote droppings which are presumed to be an aide in the digestion of their coarse diet.

Indigestion, is a condition of impaired digestion. It is a medical condition characterised by chronic or recurrent pain in the upper abdomen, upper abdominal fullness and feeling full earlier than expected when eating. It can be accompanied by bloating, belching, nausea, or heartburn. Dyspepsia is a common problem and is frequently caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease or gastritis. In a small minority it may be the first symptom of peptic ulcer disease (an ulcer of the stomach or duodenum) and occasionally cancer. Hence, unexplained newly onset dyspepsia in people over 55 or the presence of other alarming symptoms may require further investigations.
Winged insects often make bubbles like this. It is a bubble of regurgitated fluid which is a common practice among many winged insects and it is believed to be a way to facilitate digestion !!! Here a shield beetle is doing this !!!

The Zebra Longwing is a Heliconian Brush footed Butterfly, which live up to six months. It's a Social Butterfly, which Roosts in groups as large as 60.
It collects Pollen in Balls on it's Proboscis and uses Digestive Enzymes, to break down the Protein in Pollen into Amino Acids, which it sucks up through it's Proboscis. This known as External Digestion, which results in the relatively long life span compared to other Butterflies.

Il ginepro ha numerose virtù: è stomachico e masticarne le bacche facilita la digestione, è un antisettico naturale per le vie urinarie e respiratorie (utile per la cura della calcolosi urinaria, per sedare la tosse o come espettorante) e ha proprietà antireumatiche, spesso infatti l'olio essenziale di ginepro viene usato per massaggi. Massaggiare il corpo con olio di ginepro aiuta a rilassare i muscoli contratti, a previene i crampi e a tonificare i tessuti connettivi.

de flato, de flacura.
Llorar improvisando,
de memoria.
¡Llorar todo el insomnio y todo el día!
(Oliverio Girondo)
The gorilla's gestation period is about 8.5 months.
It is difficult to tell if a female gorilla is pregnant since her stomach is large to begin with (for food digestion). However, some females have swollen knuckles temporarily during pregnancy
Young are born throughout the year and usually at night.
Females usually give birth around every 4 years.
Usually a single infant is born with twins being rare.
There is a 40% mortality rate for newborns which means that an adult female usually only has 1 surviving offspring produced every 6 to 8 years. Therefore many females will only have 2 to 6 offspring in a lifetime
Newborns usually weigh about 2 kg (4.5 lbs.) with pale gray-pink skin that is sparsely covered with hair.
Infants are able to cling to their mothers with a very powerful grip from both their hands and feet. The female will initially assist the infant when it is holding on to her chest or stomach.
Young gorillas like to play with their siblings or other youngsters their age. They wrestle, tumble, climb trees, and even form a chain and walk in synchronization through the forest.
Infants are in almost constant contact with their mothers for the first 6 months and nurse for about 2.5 to 3 years.
Although the silverback is the troop's guardian and can be the most aggressive troop member it can also be patient and gentle with the young. A silverback has even been documented sharing his nest with an orphaned infant.
Gorilla infants grow and develop much quicker than human babies. They usually begin playing, smiling, and bouncing at 8 weeks. At about 9 weeks they begin crawling. Exploration of their environment and object manipulation begins around 3 months of age. They are able to stand at 20 weeks and at 34 weeks they are usually walking and traveling short distances from their mothers. Around 6 to 7 months of age, the infants are able to climb on their mothers' backs and ride.
Babies will begin eating some vegetation at around 2.5 months and make it the majority of their diet by 6 to 7 months.
Males and females look very similar during their juvenile (3-6) and adolescent (6-8) years. However, when males mature into their black period, they are taller and begin developing adult male characteristics. The silvering of hair on the back begins at around 13 years of age.

Bonamy, Broca, "Beau (dessinateur) "
Troisième partie , appareil de la digestion, appareil surrénal, rein.
(Paris G. Masson éditeur)
The green bee-eater (Merops orientalis) has caught a dragonfly, most probably a female Ditch Jewel (Brachythemis contaminata). After catching the dragon, it perched on this high-tension electric cable, hit the fly a few times on to the cable before consuming it.
Birds that eat insects (like this bee-eater) and hard-scaled fish (like kingfishers) tend to hit their prey against the hard surfaces of their perches, so as to kill and break their prey before swallowing them whole. This is to reduce the friction and possible damage to their softer insides of throat and crop. This process also enriches their digestion.

Presente en cientos de recetas y un acompañante ideal para muchas comidas. Muy consumido en la zona del Mediterráneo y con múltiples propiedades. Los beneficios del aceite de oliva son tantos… ¡Que aún no se han descubierto todos!
Tanto es el poder del “oro líquido” que escritores de la talla de Pablo Neruda, Federico García Lorca y Antonio Machado les dedicaron poemas y líneas de alabanza y adoración. En este artículo te contamos cuáles son las ventajas de su consumo para la salud.
Razones para disfrutar del aceite de oliva
Según el sitio Infobae de Argentina, la dieta mediterránea es de las más sanas del mundo debido a que uno de sus principales ingredientes es el aceite de oliva. A su vez nos detallan los 5 principales beneficios del conocido como “oro líquido”:
Previene las enfermedades cardiovasculares (evita que se endurezcan las arterias y promueve una buena circulación)
Disminuye las células cancerosas (sobre todo previene cáncer de mama y de piel).
Reduce el colesterol “malo” (y aumenta el bueno al mismo tiempo que equilibra la presión arterial)
Favorece el envejecimiento saludable (debido a sus múltiples efectos antioxidantes que aumentan la longevidad de las personas)
Lucha contra la osteoporosis (protege los huesos y combate enfermedades óseas)
El aceite de oliva y la diabetes
En el sitio Canal Diabetes nos muestran un estudio realizado en una Universidad de Italia donde se pudo verificar que el consumo de aceite de oliva reduce los picos de glucemia en aquellas personas que tienen diabetes tipo 1.
En los pacientes con diabetes tipo 1 se tuvo en cuenta la combinación de los efectos de los alimentos ricos en carbohidratos y grasas para medir el tiempo y la dosis de administración de insulina prandial. La limitación de los picos de glucosa posprandial no sólo contribuirá a la prevención de las complicaciones crónicas de la diabetes, sino también a la mejora de la calidad de vida de las personas con esta enfermedad. los efectos beneficiosos del aceite de oliva virgen extra observados en este estudio podrían estar relacionados, además de con su contenido en grasa monoinsaturada, con otros compuestos bioactivos como los polifenoles, sustancias con alto poder antioxidante.
Aceite de oliva + limón = Remedio excepcional
Si al preparar una ensalada la condimentamos con zumo de limón y aceite de oliva las propiedades curativas se multiplican, según nos afirman en la web LR21 de Uruguay.
La forma de consumir aceite de oliva con limón es muy sencilla, solo se debe servir aceite en una cuchara y agregar las gotitas de limón. Lo ideal es hacerlo en ayunas, antes desayunar para poder aprovechar todos sus beneficios: depurar, favorecer el corazón y la digestión y proteger el organismo de los radicales libres.
Bonus track: Poemas sobre el olivo
Como te hemos dicho al inicio de este artículo, varios escritores han realizado poesías y poemas en favor del olivo y su aceite. Aquí te dejamos algunos fragmentos:
Oda al aceite (Pablo Neruda)
Yo amo
las patrias del aceite,
los olivares
de Chacabuco, en Chile,
en las mañanas
las plumas de platino
forestales
contra las arrugadas
cordilleras
en Anacapri, arriba,
sobre la luz tirrena,
la desesperación de los olivos,
en el mapa de Europa,
España,
cesta negra de aceitunas
espolvoreada por los azahares
como una ráfaga marina.
Poemas sobre el Olivar (Federico García Lorca)
El campo
de olivos
se abre y se cierra
como un abanico.
Sobre el olivar
hay un cielo hundido
y una lluvia oscura
de luceros fríos.
Tiembla junco y penumbra
a la orilla del río.
Se riza el aire gris.
Los olivos,
están cargados
de gritos.
Una bandada
de pájaros cautivos,
que mueven sus larguísimas
colas en lo sombrío.
Los olivos (Antonio Machado)
¡Viejos olivos sedientos
bajo el claro sol del día,
olivares polvorientos
del campo de Andalucía!
¡El campo andaluz, peinado
por el sol canicular,
de loma en loma rayado
de olivar y de olivar!
Son las tierras
soleadas,
anchas lomas, lueñes sierras
de olivares recamadas.
