Live healthy, Eat Fruits! The problem with the fruits is that many people don't know how to consume them to achieve that the body benefits of all the nutrients. You won't get the same effect when you eat fruits as an appetizer, a dessert or an appetitive. Advices: •Consume fresh fruits. •Don’t mix fruits with other foods. •If you take fruit juice, consume it an hour before meal. •Oranges should be eaten alone. "An orange is gold in the morning, silver at noon and plumb at night.“ •Avoid the excess of acidic fruits. The citric fruits must be consumed before 2 p.m. •The sweet fruits can be consumed at any time of the day. •The fruits should be consumed preferably on an empty stomach. •Eat the fruits at the exact time of ripeness. •Don’t add sugar. •Wash them very well.
Be careful with fruit mixes Fruit salad only should be made of sweet fruits. There are fruits that cannot be mixed, because they produce chemical reactions which are harmful to the organism, insomuch as the oils of the neutral fruits and the sugar of the sweet fruits produce toxic enzymes for the cellular life. They are also not compatible with the acidic ones, because the mixture of acid and sugar will delay the formation of glucose. Thus remaining more time than usual in the intestines, it produces toxic fermentations. Do not mix Oranges with carrots. It elevates the acidity, causes malfunctions in the liver, stimulates bile excess, promotes substances that attack the renal system, and produces heartburns, reflux and deterioration of the ureters. Pineapple with Milk. It is a toxicant so powerful that it bursts cockroaches. The bromelain that is contained in the pineapple potentiates the active beginning that shoots the intoxication. Dumbfounded fruit with lemon. It causes problems with the hemoglobin and produces anemia Guava with banana. It causes problems of hyperacidity or acidosis. Consequences of a bad combination: Stomach pain, Diarrhea, Indigestion, Headache, Acidity, Fermentation.
Insomnia? Bear in mind: •Maintain a regular schedule to sleep: To go to bed and to get up at the same hour, still during the weekends, allows to the body to be synchronized with this rule. •Avoid caffeine: Caffeine keeps you awake. Remember that caffeine products - such as coffee, tea, colas and chocolate drinks - stay in the body an average of 3 to 5 hours, but can affect some people up to 12 hours later. Therefore, no caffeine at least 6 hours before bedtime.
• Avoid nicotine: smoking before going to bed makes sleep more difficult, because nicotine also is a stimulant. The cigarette, moreover, provokes other problems related to the sleep, like nightmares and anxiety for the temporary separation of the nicotine. One more reason to stop smoking. • Alcohol but moderately: for its sedative effect, alcohol can help to sleep initially, but it also can cause later interruptions of the sleep because of nightmares, perspiration or headache. •It is recommended not to use it at night. • Do not eat or drink too much before going to bed: don't go hungry to bed, but avoid heavy meals. To eat can reduce your comfort while sleeping. Spicy food sometimes can produce gastric acid and a lot of liquid perhaps makes you wake up in the middle of the night to go to the restroom. But there is also food that helps you to sleep better, like lukewarm milk, tuna, bananas, eggs, avocado, almonds, asparagus, peaches, etc. • Do physical training, but at the right time: regular training contributes to a good physical condition and to a pleasant sleep. The body temperature increases during the training and its descent takes about six hours; that's why it is recommended to do it in the morning or in the late afternoon.
•Before attempt, relax with a warm bath, read or listen to music, meditation, aromatherapy... And if you can't fall asleep, never look at the clock, because you will only go on feeling more anxious. •Keep your bedroom silent, aerated, dark and comfortable: make sure that it is not too cold or warm, that the mattress is comfortable and firm and that there is no noise or other distractions. There are people who suffer interruptions of sleeping due to a minimal sound or light. •Use your bed only to sleep and to have intercourse: this strengthens the psychological association between the bed and the sleep. Neither watch television, nor eat something, nor have discussions of emotional subjects in the bedroom, because these will be distractions which will help the insomnia. •Limit the time to sleep: if you have difficulties with the sleep, only go to bed when you are tired. If you can't fall asleep within 15 minutes, get up and try to do a relaxing activity until you feel tired again. If something worries you very much, write it down in a notebook for solving it at the next day. Avoid siestas or reduce them to not more

SARA BAENA Photographer WALTER SALDARRIAGA
Culturas Europeas Por: Uwe Ohlendorff Recently I received a call. It was a friend who wanted to meet me. The meeting would be in a shopping mall where I made the final shopping for Christmas. We made an appointment at 6:00 pm at Starbucks, a coffee bar in the market place of the shopping center. It was a little bit after 6:00 pm and my friend still had not arrived, so I was using the time to observe the Advent activities with a Latte Macchiato. The people were moving like a wave in the long pompously adorned marches of the shopping mall. Several persons stopped to look at the decorations and the luxuriously trimmed windows, and it didn't take a long time until a conglomerate of people was formed. While I was observing the people with interest, I forgot the real cause of my presence. The call of my cellphone remembered me why I was here. It was my friend. He was waiting for me since 20 minutes and he wanted to know where I am. I was looking at all sides, but I couldn't see him. “I'm here in front of Starbucks” I said. "Where are you? I can't see you” “I am also here, but you don't!” How can this happen?
We made an appointment at a place where we couldn't miss each other. Nevertheless, it was the same place in front of a coffee bar but in two different shopping malls! How can such an error happen? Well, we told each other by cellphone in which shop we had been in that moment, but we didn't said in which shopping center. This curious story happened in Hamburg, a metropolis in the middle of Europe where there are shopping malls like sand in the desert. Nevertheless, this story also could happen in Berlin, Milan, Paris, Madrid, Stockholm, London etc. Multiple shops mark the common daily image of the European centers that influence us and give us sometimes the sensation to be followers of a standard model in the globalized world. Coffee from Colombia or Costa Rica, manufactures of China or Mexico, high technology from Hong Kong or Japan; all packaging and printed with the emblems of commercial enterprises and hardly distinguishable from each other.

Finally the language is the most striking sign that exists to recognize where we are. But how can we specify the typical European? Where is the famous European culture? Where is its diversity? Well, under the uniform shining surface there is a big range of different cultural features. Every European country has its own character and inside the countries there are regions with different cultural peculiarities. The recent European civilization, arisen from the ancient cultures, has developed variably. It has been mixed by other civilizations and cultures and it has dominated and extinguished other civilizations and cultures. Representative is the legend of El Dorado which I have written in the previous edition. The cultural ritual of the Muiscas, a tradition that continues for centuries, has become the victim of the avidity to the gold of the Europeans.

Although very prestigious and intellectual literary figures like Voltaire or Goethe have treated the topic, the European culture is defined in the sum of many particular regional acts and activities of the common people. Without them and without their normal course of life, they challenge since millenniums with permanently changing problems and issues, a development of civilization and culture was not imaginable in Europe. Finally, everything of what the "high culture" performs and produces – literature and poetry, music and art, painting and sculpting – is just a reflex of the everyday life. They are instructions for the people to color their life. This is an essential factor of the human nature. ..
Culture in Germany Germany counts to the most American country in Europe. No other European nation is "living" the AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE like Germany. But this is just a superficial view. The German culture is more profound. To be able to understanding the German culture we have to travel into the foretime; into the time where Germany didn't exist yet, into a time where the people were still not feeling like Germans; into a time where the region of the today's Germany was divided in uncountable small and average principalities, counties, bishoprics and kingdoms. Powerless emperors were continuing the ancient Roman tradition; they were dreaming of an eternal Roman Empire and called it "Holy". This was mostly in territories of old Germanic tribes, where there was more or less a common language different from the Latin, the language of the scholars. This language was spoken by the simple rural population, and therefore, the notion "Germanic" was added.
Esta lengua era hablada por la población rural simple y se añadía la noción “Germánico”.

This very voluminous and complex construction “Holy Roman Empire”, figuratively a type of a medieval EU without transnational competition, is the link between the antiquity and the modern epoch. It is a melting pot of the Roman and Germanic ancient culture where many regional traditions have developed in a long process under the general term “German Culture” to the today’s civilization. It was not a nation; the interests of the big European powers of that time like the House of Habsburg or Prussia didn't allow for many centuries any national development as in France or England. Even the language was not uniform, there was no generally binding Standard German. Only the reformer Martin Luther was occupied with the translation of the Bible in a uniform recognized language in this Germanic speaking region. Finally, the population could convince and verify that the pastor or the parish priest, who was preaching in the church, really used the words of the Bible.
Today this language chosen by Luther is in its developed form the official German language. Nevertheless many dialects have been maintained and are a perceptible impression of the multiple German cultures. Due to the globalization there is in Germany a paradox: More and more of young German people only learn the official Standard German. They can't speak their own dialect without take readings; they can only understand it when they hear it. Their regional German origin is just recognized in their decent accent of Head_Platon their spoken Standard German.

Nevertheless, at the same time they become always more popular to the youth; the cause can be the globalization that imposes the standardized behavior of the persons. Even in the pronunciation of our Chancellor Angela Merkel, born in Hamburg, Goethe
we can still recognize the region where she has grown up: Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in the northeast of the country. The German dialects seem to become extinct. However, at the same time the dialects become more popular among the youth, the cause may be the globalization that imposes a standardized behavior to the people.
In this Mainstream you only can become accepted when you will be understood. At the same time rises the desire of the young people for getting a regional niche where they can move back as needed. So the endangered dialects enjoy great increasing popularity. Low German differs essential of the remaining German language. The linguists classify Low German not as a dialect, but as an independent language that is related more to English than to German.
Central German and Upper German differ just a little and are the base of Standard German.
Castelul-Bran
Meal in Germany Not just the dialects, but also the eating habits and the meals differ. There is a diversity of the regional meals, Fast-food and traditional meals that came to Germany by the emigrants and immigrants. There is no national dish in Germany; also the culinary styles are different. Labskaus Distribution area: Scandinavia and Northern Germany.
