Sugar. 6º.

Sugar is a natural product which can be found in fruits and vegetables. Thus, when you're eating apples, strawberries or cherries, you're eating sugar; a healthy and natural sugar.

The problem appears when humans take plants with a high sugar content (like beet or sugar cane, see below) and transform them into industrial sugar. This sugar isn't natural, and damages your health.

There, by means of chemical processes (addition of phosporic acid, calcium hydroxide or calcium phospate), the sugar that you eat in everyday meals is produced. This sugar is unhealthy, and produces a great series of illnesses.





Here I refer you the five most common illnesses related to sugar consumption:

  1. Obesity: the direct consequence of eating too much sugar. Your weigh increases, and you get fat. Obestity results in many other problems, mainly in relation with heart and circulatory system. Scientists asseverate that overweight people die much before than not overweight persons. 
  2. Hypertension: it's when your blood makes too much strenght against your veins. Sugar increases your blood pressure, and can produce strokes and heart attacks.
  3. Diabetes: sugar is processed thanks to insuline, a liquid produced by pancreas. When you take too much sugar during too much years, your pancreas finally crash down, stopping the insuline production. Then, sugar cannot be processed, and it starts to attack your internal organs: eyes are blinded; rash appears on skin; your kidneys stop working; and your hearing decreases. Extreme and non controlled sugar levels in your blood can also produce sudden death.
  4. Tooth decay: sugar ruins your teeth, difficulting food chewing and digestion.
  5. Cancer: recent studies show that there is a relation between high sugar consumption and cancer.
So, please: next time you take a dognut, some sweets, a lollypop or anything else, please, before eating up it, read the label and remember what I have told you.

Climatic Change: Water in Extremadura.

Climatic change has brought a perennial lack of water in our region. You have only to visit the countryside, or to have a look at our water reservoirs in La Serena, Cíjara or García Sola. The outlook is heartbreaking: step by step, Extremadura is becoming desert. So, ¿what can we do?

  1. To save water in Agriculture. Agriculture takes a 70% of the total use of water. Spanish agriculture should be more efficient by taking some basic actions focused on water saving:  to use drop by drop watering systems, to grow drought - adapted crops, to improve and renew old - obsolete irritagion systems...
  2. To save water at home. By adopting some single and easy measures we can save water: to close the tap when we're brushing our teeth; to have a shower, not a bath; to water the garden in the early morning or in the late evening; to start the washing machine only when it's completely loaded; etc.
  3. To research in water - desalinate systems. Ultimately, the responsability of this problem lies in our government. They have to eamark funds in R & D (research and development) in order to find inexpensive methods for desalinating sea water.

The arctic fox.

             

The arctic fox is one of the most beautiful animals in the world. He lives in arctic areas (Alaska, norh of Russia, north of Canada and coasts of Greenland) He can weather very cold temperatures and terrible winter storms. He eats small animals (mice, lemmings and some insects), sea birds and fish. Arctic foxes are very intelligent and adaptable. Actually they are in danger, as a consequence of climatic change. Perhaps he will dissapear in only twenty years.
