SOS Médicos 24HS hope you are enjoying receiving our health information tips and that you are finding them useful and informative. Below you will see our latest message about your kitchen, food and germs. Please read it carefully, and we hope it helps to inform you about how to lead a healthier and fitter life!
Cooking a Christmas Turkey When cooking a whole chicken or Christmas turkey, there are the main ways to tell if poultry is cooked: The meat should be steaming hot all the way through. When you cut into the thickest part of the meat, none of the meat should be pink. If juices run out when you pierce the turkey, or when you press the thigh, they should be clear.
If you live anywhere in our coverage area, and are interested in becoming a member, call us or send us a quick email info@ sosmedicos24hs.com and we will contact you with more information about our services.
These cooking times are based on an unstuffed bird. As a general guide, in an oven preheated to 180ºC (350ºF)
Our prices start from as little as just 59 cents per day, for complete medical peace of mind! One study found that the kitchen sink contains 100,000 times more germs than the bathroom. Germs such as E. coli, campylobacter and salmonella enter the kitchen on our hands, raw food and pets. They can rapidly spread if you’re not careful. If food isn’t cooked, stored and handled correctly, people can become ill with food poisoning, colds, flu and other conditions. Washing hands Hands are the main way germs are spread, so it’s important to wash them thoroughly with soap and warm water before cooking and after touching raw meat.
Meet • Eat • Drink • Be Entertained
•for a turkey under 4.5kg, allow 45 minutes per kg plus 20 minutes •for a turkey weighing between 4.5kg and 6.5kg, allow 40 minutes per kg •for a turkey over 6.5kg, allow 35 minutes per kg Tip: Cover your turkey with foil during cooking and uncover for the last 30 minutes to brown the skin. To stop the meat drying out, baste it every hour during cooking.
Fridge storage Some foods need to be kept in the fridge to help stop bacteria growing. These include foods with a ‘use by’ date, cooked foods and ready-to-eat foods including desserts and cooked meats. Here’s how to prevent bacteria from growing:
Cleaning up Wash worktops and chopping boards before and after cooking as they are sources of cross-contamination of germs. A study found that the average cutting board had three times more fecal bacteria than a typical lavatory seat. Damp sponges and cloths are the perfect place for bacteria to breed. Studies have shown the kitchen sponge to have the highest number of germs in the home. Wash and replace kitchen cloths, sponges and tea towels frequently. ‘Use by’ dates No food lasts forever, however well it is stored. Most pre-packed foods carry either a use by or best before date. •Use by dates appear on foods that go off quite quickly. It can be dangerous to eat foods past their use by date. •Best before date dates are for foods with a longer life. They show how long the food will be at its best quality. Storing meat •Store raw meat and poultry in clean, sealed containers on the bottom shelf of the fridge, so they can’t touch or drip onto other food. •Follow any storage instructions on the label and don’t eat meat after its use by date. •Keep cooked meat separate from raw meat.
•When you’re preparing food, keep it out of the fridge for the shortest time possible. •If you’re having a buffet, keep the food refrigerated until you’re ready to serve it. •Cool leftovers as quickly as possible (within 90 minutes) and store them in the fridge. Eat them within two days. •Store eggs in their box in the fridge. •Never put open cans in the fridge as the metal of the can may transfer to the can’s contents. Transfer the contents into a storage container or covered bowl Freezing meat It’s safe to freeze meat if you take the following precautions: •Freeze it before the use by date. •Defrost it in a microwave if you intend to cook it as soon as it’s defrosted. Otherwise, put it in the fridge to thaw so that it doesn’t get too warm. •Cook food until it’s piping hot all the way through. We hope you have enjoyed our health message and we wish you Happy Holidays!

As we all know, beauty comes from within but with a wide range of beauty therapies and treatments available, who can blame us for wanting that bit extra, after all when we look good we feel great. Beauty therapies have many benefits beyond helping you to look great and feel totally and utterly relaxed.
Merry Christmas• Feliz Navidad
Benefits of beauty therapies and treatments
Many beauty therapies are well known for their relaxation benefits, such as a visit to the day spa, getting a treatment at a beauty salon, or smelling some gorgeous essential oils.
Laser therapy is also a treatment with many applications – from ridding you of unsightly body hair to helping you let go of an addiction such as smoking.
But did you know that therapists are also able to treat muscular conditions, or improve your skin?
Try a beauty therapy to calm your mind this Christmas to help improve the look and feel of your skin, and to relieve the stress over the festive period.
The beauty salon can help you to sort out those pesky skin problems such as acne or eczema, while aromatherapy is surprisingly versatile. Aromatherapy can be used to relieve stress, improve colds, enhance your energy, and help with PMS, as well as much, much more.
costadirectory Perfect beauty is an elusive concept, but if you can feel good about yourself by enhancing your looks, you may find more joy in your life.

Who is Saint Nicholas
Saint Nicholas (270–6 December 346) is the canonical and most popular name for Nikolaos of Myra, a saint and Greek Bishop of Myra, part of modern-day Turkey. Born into a wealthy family, upon the death of his parents, St. Nicholas used his inherited wealth to help the less fortunate. Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known as Nikolaos the Wonderworker. He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, such as putting coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him, and thus became the model for Santa Claus, whose English name comes from the Dutch Sinterklaas. In his most famous exploit, a poor man had three daughters but could not afford a proper dowry for them. As such they would remain unmarried with little future prospects.
Hearing of the poor man’s plight, Nicholas decided to help him but being too modest to help the man in public (or to save the man the humiliation of accepting charity), he went to his house under the cover of night and threw three purses (one for each daughter) filled with gold coins through the window opening into the man’s house. One version has him throwing one purse for three consecutive nights. Another has him throw the purses over a period of three years, each time the night before one of the daughters comes “of age”. Invariably, the third time the father lies in wait, trying to discover the identity of their benefactor. In another version, Nicholas learns of the poor man’s plan and drops the third bag down the chimney instead; a variant holds that the daughter had washed her stockings that evening and hung them over the embers to dry, and that the bag of gold fell into the stocking. Hence the modern Christmas tradition of hanging a stocking by the fireplace. Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of sailors, merchants, thieves, and children.

Quién es San Nicolás San Nicolás de Myra (como se le denomina en oriente) fue un obispo que vivió en el siglo IV. Nació en una familia adinerada, y después de la muerte de sus padres Nicolás heredó una gran fortuna que puso al servicio de los necesitados.
San Nicolás es el patrono de los marineros, comerciantes, ladrones y niños.
Por los milagros a que esta atribuido, también esta conocido como Nicolás el Trabajador de Maravillas. Tenía una reputación de dejar regalos en secreto – entre otros, poniendo monedas de oro en los zapatos de aquellos que los dejaban fuera de la puerta principal. Así se hizo el modelo para Santa Claus, cuyo nombre ingles viene del Sinterklaas, el nombre neerlandés. Son muchos los milagros que se le atribuyen a Nicolás de Myra. Se cuenta que en una ocasión supo de tres jovencitas que pretendían casarse pero su padre no podía pagar la dote correspondiente. Al saberlo Nicolás (pretendiendo realizar la caridad sin ser visto), dejó caer por la chimenea unas monedas de oro que coincidentemente cayeron en unas medias de lana que las jóvenes habían dejado secando (por eso se cuelgan las medias tejidas que sirven para recibir regalos en navidad).

www.costadirectory.com The hugely popular comedy series also returns for a 4th series in early 2011 Long live the land of sun, sangria and Santa! This Christmas, ITV1 viewers will get a burst of Spanish sunshine in their homes with a one off festive Benidorm special. Award-winning creator and writer, Derren Litten will once again bring alive the Brits abroad with many of your favourite holidaymakers returning for the usual holiday mishaps……and a few surprises along the way! We finally get to meet all the members of the Middlesbrough Swingers Association – one of them is played by Louie Spence! Su Pollard appears as herself with star billing in the Benidorm Palace Christmas show – all doesn’t go to plan though when she comes face to face with Madge!
Costa Directory Interview with Louie Spence who plays Marvin Tell us about your storyline in Benidorm? My part in Benidorm is Marvin, thankfully there are no S’s in the name which is great, it’s not something like Steven from Stevenage!. He is a swinger and I think he is a bisexual swinger definitely, because there is part of me in him so I think he would have to be. He is not the best of dressed, I did slip into a little outfit this morning and he really hasn’t got much taste with sandals and socks and his shorts are bit too high around the waist so it’s all a bit of a worry. Were you a fan of Benidorm before you got the part? (the show) Yes absolutely, I also relate to it so much because that’s sort of my family. As a kid my parents came to Benidorm, we came here and my parents still come here they love it. It’s cheap as chips, you get a good fry up, it reminds me of my family so much - I love it. Are you fluent in Spanish? No but I speak Italian, but I can get by.

Do you have a favourite character in Benidorm? I think everyone loves Madge, because she says what she thinks and you just love her for it. The fact that she doesn’t really need that mobility scooter and it’s just because she doesn’t want to get off her arse. Obviously on a friend side of things I love seeing Jake doing stuff as he is such a good friend of mine, we’ve known each other for longer than we’ve been alive! It’s great to see we are both still out there working and it’s good to see a friend doing really well. I would say Madge is my favourite, also the Garvey family as a whole but out of that I would say Madge. Have you ever had a holiday in Benidorm? Well yes, I’ve been with my parents but also my partner is Spanish and his friend just lives up the road. So literally on and off for the last 10 years I’ve come at least once a year and I love it. You are always guaranteed sun. So I think it’s a great place, it’s a 2 hour flight, wonderful I love it.

www.costadirectory.com Tell us what else you’re up to at the moment? At the moment we are starting to film the new Pineapple show. The premise is that at the end like we did last year we put a show on in the O2. We want to do that again but make it bigger and better and find people that are really out there. While I’m out here I am going to do a little bit of filming as well and kill two birds with one stone and we are going to be going down the strip and see if there are any interesting acts, and I know there are some interesting acts. Me and Laura (who was in Pineapple with me and out here now) have decided in homage of Madge we are actually going to hire a mobility scooter to ride round and look for the acts.

I thought well if she can do it God damn it we can! Favourite Christmas activity? I love watching TV and I can watch the Wizard of Oz every year and all those repeats like Scrooge. I just like sitting there and watching TV, that is my activity. Obviously I will be there with my leg over my head or something or in splits while I’m doing it but that’s what I like to do at Christmas. It is that typical Christmas, watch TV, eat as much as you can and then just burp and fart and watch the Wizard of Oz and wish you were Judy. Favourite Christmas song Neptune’s Karaoke? Last Christmas, a bit of George.

wedding Finally, the news we’ve all been expecting for rather a long time! Prince William and his long-term girlfriend Kate Middleton are engaged and will wed next year in London – 30 years after the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer. The date has just been confirmed as the 29th of April, and the venue for this royal affair will be Westminster Abbey! Though not expected to be quite as extravagant as the wedding of Prince William’s parents, it will no doubt be one to watch – and watch we will!
With the doom and gloom of the economic climate, it’s a joyous occasion to look forward to and to help us all escape from reality, if just for one day! For those living in the UK, it has been confirmed that the wedding day will be a bank holiday! So extra bonus there! The couple, who met more than eight years ago while attending the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, got engaged last month during a vacation in Kenya. Kate, or Catherine as we will soon have to call her, stated during a recent interview that Prince William’s proposal was “very romantic”. He’d been planning to pop the question for a while, but found the right moment on their private holiday in Africa.
38 Meet • Eat • Drink • Be Entertained
The 28-year-old prince is second in line to the throne after his father, Prince Charles. Middleton, also 28, is the daughter of selfmade millionaires and works for the family mail-order business, which specializes in children’s parties. The couple will live in north Wales following their marriage, where Prince William will continue to serve with the Royal Air Force, according to royal officials. While Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip are reported to be “absolutely delighted for them both,” Prince William’s stepmother, Camilla, has stated that the engagement is “wicked”. Well, from all of us here at the Costa Directory team, we wish Prince William and the future Princess Catherine heartfelt congratulations and many years of wedded bliss!
Una Boda Real Por fin se confirma una de las noticias más esperadas en el Reino Unido: la boda entre el Príncipe Guillermo y su novia Kate Middleton. El matrimonio se efectuará en la primavera o el verano de 2011 en Londres y coincidirá con el año del 30 aniversario de la boda de sus padres, la princesa Diana Spencer y el príncipe Carlos. La fecha esta confirmada para el 29 de abril, y el lugar será el Westminster Abbey. El príncipe Guillermo, el segundo en la línea de sucesión al trono británico, y Kate Middleton, ambos de 28 años, se conocieron hace ocho años en la Universidad Saint Andrews en Escocia en 2001 donde compartieron residencia. Tras una larga relación, seguida muy de cerca por la prensa, se comprometieron oficialmente en octubre de 2010 durante unas vacaciones privadas en Kenia. Tras el matrimonio, la pareja vivirá al norte de Gales, donde el príncipe Guillermo continuará sirviendo a la Real Fuerza Aérea. De parte del equipo del Costa Directory, felicitamos al Príncipe y la futura Princesa Caterina y les deseamos una futura muy feliz.

www.costadirectory.com ITV’s best loved and the world’s longest running soap Coronation Street is set, this December, to celebrate an amazing 50 years on our TV screens. With spectacular storylines planned plus a sensational live episode, an additional three brand new programmes will centre around the show’s birthday week to further celebrate this monumental anniversary. Each show has been specially commissioned to give viewers the chance to reminisce with their favourite characters and look back at the storylines that have rocked and shocked those famous cobbles over the past half a century. Ensuring Coronation Street celebrates its birthday in true showbiz style, join Paul O’Grady as he throws open his doors to host a fantastic fun filled programme.
As part of Coronation Street: The Big 50, Paul will host the ultimate Coronation Street quiz - of course - with a difference. During the show three teams made up of Corrie cast members and one team of celebrity super-fans will go head to head. Each team will be challenged to see just how much they know, about the past 50 glorious years of Coronation Street. Plus some of the Street’s best loved characters will be seen as never before, popping up in the most unexpected places in specially filmed “When Corrie met… ”sketches. The show will feature all the classic highlights since the very beginning of the soap in 1960, from the highly emotional scenes featuring the death of Mike Baldwin, to the hilarity of Ken Barlow teaching French to Raquel, and from the front page news of Deirdre Rachid’s imprisonment, to the gripping reign of terror wreaked by Richard Hillman. Coronation Street: 50 Years, 50 Moments, features the clip of when Sally tracked Kevin down at Natalie’s house and confronted him. Denise says: “Sally had said to Michael, ‘I may want to hit you,’ And he said, ‘Go ahead.’” Michael adds: “Sally certainly didn’t hold back the punches.”
42 Meet • Eat • Drink • Be Entertained
During the storyline, Sally also got to slap Natalie. Denise adds: “My face was like a cartoon. The director was very crafty and told Sally to catch me off guard a little bit so I didn’t know what was coming.” And, Julie Goodyear explains what it was like filming her final scenes for the soap when her character, Bet Gilroy, left the Rovers and the street for a better life in Tenerife. Julie says: “She was going off into the sunshine and anything other than that, I couldn’t have coped with, and I knew the viewers couldn’t. They wanted her to go to Tenerife.” Finally, a huge explosion sends a tram crashing onto Coronation Street and right through the lives of the residents changing the face of Britain’s most iconic street forever. That very same evening, live on ITV2, self confessed Corrie super fan Stephen Mulhern will get the audience closer to the Street by giving them unprecedented and exclusive access to Corrie’s cobbles including the chance for viewers to phone in to speak directly to the stars of the show.

El día seis de enero suele ser festivo en toda España. Es típico desayunar el Roscón de Reyes que en muchos lugares también se toma la víspera para merendar o cenar. Estos roscones suelen contener una figurita navideña.
Three Kings The Magi is the name traditionally given to the three visitors who, after the birth of Jesus, arrived from foreign lands to pay homage and bring gifts of great symbolic richness: gold, frankincense and myrrh.
Tres Reyes Los Reyes Magos es el nombre por el que la tradición denomina a los tres visitantes que, tras el nacimiento de Jesús, habrían acudido desde países extranjeros para rendirle homenaje y entregarle regalos de gran riqueza simbólica: oro, incienso y mirra. En España, es tradicional que los regalos de Navidad a los niños los traigan los Reyes Magos la noche del 5 al 6 de enero (Epifanía en el Reino Unido). Antes, los niños deben mandarles una carta a los reyes pidiendo los regalos que quieren así como indicar los méritos por los que se merecen recibir regalos. La noche del 5 de enero los niños deben dejar sus zapatos en algún lugar de la casa. También se dejan dulces para obsequiar a los Reyes Magos e incluso agua o comida para los camellos, que es el medio de transporte. Al día siguiente se encuentran en lugar de los zapatos, los regalos o, en el caso de haber sido malos, carbón en su lugar. También reciben regalos los adultos.

In Spain, children traditionally receive their Christmas gifts from the Magi on the night of 5th January (Epiphany in the UK). Beforehand, as in English and American custom, the children send a letter to the Magi asking for the presents they want. However, they must also state why they deserve their gifts. On the night of 5th December, the children leave their shoes out somewhere in the house. They also leave sweets as a gift to the Magi, as well as water and food for the camels (the form of transport for the Magi). The following day, they should find their gifts by their shoes, or, in the case of having been naughty, coal instead. Parents also receive gifts! The 6th of January is a public holiday throughout Spain. Typically, the Spanish eat Roscón, a round, sweet bread with candied fruit on top, for breakfast. This bread normally contains a Christmas figurine as well.

After enduring ten days in the jungle, Nigel Havers dramatically quit I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! The former Coronation Street star made a shocking departure from the celebrity camp and was the first jungle casualty of this year’s show. “I had no idea how tough it was going to be. On television, I don’t think you see how hard it is. You don’t even see 1% of the difficulty. I felt that if I went on any longer, I would lose the will to live. I turned into such a grumpy old man.”

Former WAG Sheryl Gascoigne was the surprise first elimination from I’m A Celebrity. After 13 days locked in camp with Gillian McKeith she was granted her freedom by the viewing public and allowed to walk away from the jungle. “I was very ready [to leave] and the other campers all knew I really wanted to leave, too. Jenny said to me, ‘You have no agenda in here. You just really want out’. And that was the truth.”

Aquarius Jan 20th - Feb 19th Dig into the past to figure out what to do next. Your energy is almost perfect for applying lessons from others’ lives to your own situation, though it may take a while for inspiration to strike true.
Pisces Feb 20th - Mar 20th Your expressive nature is dominant this month, so make sure that you’re speaking to all the right people. You might get an important message mid-month that demands a bit more thought in response.
Aries Mar 21st - Apr 19th Expect one or more obstacles to block your path this month. That’s not to say that it’s a total washout - merely that you’ve got to pick your battles more carefully than usual. Things can get really interesting soon!

Cancer June 23rd - July 23rd Get things rolling this month — nobody else is going to! Your energy is best when used to get others motivated, so make sure you’ve got direct lines of communication open as much as is practical.
Leo July 24th - Aug 23rd Try harder than usual to keep things on an even keel. Your energy is best for situations that involve moderation and quiet activities instead of raucous partying or intense concentration, so plan accordingly.
Virgo Aug 24th - Sep 23rd You are more expressive than usual this month, and should find it easier to get your message across to the right people. See if you can find a way to advocate for some issue you believe strongly in.
Libra Sep 24th - Oct 23rd A heavy issue comes your way this month, but you have the right kind of mindset for it. You may also be able to draw on the support of friends or colleagues, so don’t be afraid to ask.
Scorpio Oct 24th - Nov 22nd Make sure that you’re up for a scrap this month — it’s all up to you! Even if there’s no actual fighting or argument, your efforts should determine how things go for the coming year.
Sagittarius Nov 23rd - Dec 22nd Your mundane responsibilities are everything right now, even if they bore you to tears. If you let this stuff slide for now you are sure to regret it soon. Get the small things out of the way this year to prepare for great things in the next.
