FAMILY: ANTI-CRISIS COVER

This is the title an article in a weekly magazine. And I have drawn attention, precisely because these following words contain a great truth (well, I do not doubt).

Much more powerful than any social network is the family network. Has already been written and published extensively on the subject: books, printed or electronic, and more or less formal, so now I will not dwell on the subject.
It reads popular saying: "dirty washing in public." And this crisis is a rag ... more than dirty. So the moment of truth, there is no social network to ease the burden of unemployment, or group therapy, or salt baths or classical music. All this helps (have to see to what extent) but as it says this article based on a study of La Caixa, "the crisis is making the best of families and has become the secret to avoid collapse". After all, we must rethink family support. Who else is going to re-build an entire country?
Things as they are. Thank you, family.

Christmas comes and there are days that dare not set foot in a mall: there is everything, absolutely everything, again. Naively I thought that perhaps the crisis were to abstain from eating so excessively ... but I think I'm back to being wrong. It is true that the media talk of caution, caution, etc.. And it's true that this year many families will be spending this time precisely slack. So what to do?

It strikes me as usual: no better buy than it is designed, planned. To not buying like crazy just stop and think of home, before diving in supermarkets (or not so great) of tinsel, red balls, and tinsel.

Sure there to celebrate the holidays, but with common sense. We suggest:

     Make a list of things you need and the amount.
     These days the mailboxes are full of offers: aprovéchalas, and contrast prices.
     Many times a good decoration to embellish a dish more spectacular ingredient. Remember that dedication is the star ingredient not lost to any palate.
     Buy with weather, precipitation leads to wasting time (a precious commodity), almost always.
     Enjoy another year decorations giving it another go, changing of place, ...
     And since this blog is healthy eating ... enjoy with your family, knowing also reconcile with healthy menus.

and ...Merry Christmas!

MIRACLE DIETS, DON'T BELIEVE THEM. THE WANT SOMETHING...

SOMETHING WILL COST

A couple of weeks ago I read in a magazine a comment that pretty much went like this: "There are so many miracle diets like idiots who decide to follow them."

And I was happy to read it, because many times we hear that they are a scam, yes, ... "but this diet is true. This yes". Then go out of fashion and no one believes it. Result: people who followed a weight reduction achieved over a period of time (the time in which this diet does work and is not a scam) and who sells it, is filled pocket.

But the problem remains. If obesity rates had reduced with increased adherence to these diets, obesity disease would be eradicated Spain, as plague. But reality is not that precisely. The Spanish Journal for Obesity just published an extensive review of recommendations for obesity.

Among others, are identified as conditions to be met by dietary treatment of obesity:

Must be achievable for a prolonged period of time.
Must be effective in the long term, that is, has to keep the weight off.
Has to prevent future weight gain.
It has to lead to a food education function banished errors and improper eating habits.
...

Have you convinced you'd better get it right??? Of course, that means "getting wet" at home and commit a lot. You decide!
