Así fortaleces las rodillas en casa

Connected media - Associated media El dolor de rodillas puede llegar a limitar el día a día de muchas personas. Aunque es habitual relacionar el desgaste de esta articulación con la edad y el envejecimiento, lo cierto es que también puede presentarse antes de los 50. Lo que, a menudo, se ignora es que nuestros hábitos contribuyen al cuidado de las rodillas. ¿Conoces cuáles son? Relación entre dolor de rodillas y envejecimiento Los esfuerzos que van acumulando las rodillas conforme pasan los años pueden acabar perjudicándolas. El doctor Gonzalo Samitier Solís, jefe de servicio de Cirugía Ortopédica y Traumatología del Hospital Quirónsalud Badalona y del Centro Médico Quirónsalud Aribau, nos indica que, «a medida que envejecemos, nuestras articulaciones, especialmente las rodillas, tie...

¡Prepárate para las alergias primaverales!

Linked media - Connected media ¡Ya están aquí las alergias! Es posible que tanto los peques como los adultos hayan empezado a notar el lagrimeo, el picor de nariz, los estornudos, los moqueos u otros síntomas comunes de este tipo de enfermedades. Pero ¿estáis preparados para afrontar la estación primaveral? La Sociedad Española de Alergología e Inmunología Clínica ya ha adelantado que este año se espera una primavera muy intensa para los alérgicos. Las altas temperaturas que se presentaron a principios de año y las lluvias de las últimas semanas pueden propiciar que el polen permanezca más tiempo en el ambiente. Esto, además, puede provocar que los efectos alérgicos sean más persistentes. Por todo ello, la doctora Lourdes Pérez González, especialista en Alergología del Hospital Unive...

How a Pirate-Clad Pastor Helped Ignite Trump Media’s Market Frenzy

Associated media - Connected media Mr. Nedohin raised his arms in celebration. A few minutes later, he cut to a video of a rocket blasting into the sky, with Mr. Trump photoshopped onto it. “We are holding Trump stocks,” he declared. “We are now financial investors in him.” Mr. Nedohin is one of hundreds of thousands of amateur investors who own shares of Trump Media, convinced that its sole platform, Truth Social, will become one of the world’s most popular and profitable social media sites. In recent months, tens of thousands of Trump fans have tuned into Mr. Nedohin’s webcasts, where he exhorts viewers to invest in the company, arguing that “Trump always wins in the long run.” The enthusiasm from Mr. Nedohin and other Trump supporters has turned Trump Media into the latest “meme s...

New Nutrition Guidelines Put Less Sugar and Salt on the Menu for School Meals

Linked media - Connected media The Sugar Association, a trade group, said it supported limiting added sugars in a weekly menu but called applying limits to individual products like flavored dairy products “arbitrary.” The group also warned that the new standards might lead to increased use of artificial sweeteners, which is not addressed but could have its own health ramifications. Schools will need to reduce sodium in lunches by 15 percent from current levels and in breakfasts by 10 percent by the 2027-28 academic year. This was scaled back from a proposed reduction of 30 percent by the 2029-30 school year. Mr. Vilsack said the Agriculture Department was unable to more meaningfully cut salt because it was essentially handcuffed by a policy rider in a spending package Congress approv...

NFL Draft 2024 live updates: Latest mock draft, rankings, trades and start time

Associated media - Connected media By now, you probably understand what Bills general manager Brandon Beane is all about. He has a history of trading up. He did it for Josh Allen, Tremaine Edmunds, Cody Ford, Dawson Knox, Zack Moss, Kaiir Elam, Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kincaid. That’s eight times in six drafts, four in the first round. To his credit, he actually has traded down during one draft, doing so twice in the 2022 second round before taking James Cook. Beane said he had a trade to move down last year and would have done it if he couldn’t get Kincaid — but he didn’t. Despite giving us the information, he doesn’t get credit for doing the move, because ultimately, he did what he has always done in the first round. He chased after a player who excited him, just as he always said ...

UN Official Presses for Urgent Action on Gaza Aid: Israel-Hamas War Live Updates

Linked media - Associated media Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said on Wednesday that protests at U.S. universities against Israel’s war in Gaza were “horrific” and should be stopped, using his first public comments on the subject to castigate the student demonstrators and portray them as antisemitic.Mr. Netanyahu’s comments could harden division over the demonstrations. They could also give ammunition to Republican leaders who have criticized the protesters and accused university administrators and Democrats of failing to protect Jewish students from attack. “What’s happening in America’s college campuses is horrific,” Mr. Netanyahu said. “Antisemitic mobs have taken over leading universities. They call for the annihilation of Israel. They attack Jewish students. They at...

Is the Boom-and-Bust Business Cycle Dead?

Connected media - Connected media The rise of international trade, Mr. Kelly added, can often offset slowing domestic demand since businesses, enabled by the internet, can find customers throughout the globe. And the service sector’s growth, he concluded, has “made the economy more stable and, importantly, less sensitive to interest rates.” Across the economics profession, many are not feeling as reassured. When weighing recession risks, Thomas Herndon, a professor of economics at John Jay College of the City University of New York, doesn’t take much long-term solace in the growing sophistication of big business. There are, he said, “many, many, many causes” for downturns — some of which are not directly linked to financial instability. Mr. Herndon noted the work of the 20th-century ...

Soft Landing or No Landing? Fed’s Economic Picture Gets Complicated.

Associated media - Associated media Mr. Biden said on Wednesday that he stood by his prediction that the Fed would lower interest rates this year — an unusual comment from a president who usually avoids talking about Fed policy out of respect for the central bank’s independence from the White House. “This may delay it a month or so — I’m not sure of that,” Mr. Biden said. Many Fed watchers think today’s high rates could persist for considerably longer. Many economists and investors previously expected rate cuts to start in June or July. After this week’s inflation report, investors increasingly see rate cuts starting in September or later. Blerina Uruci, chief U.S. economist at T. Rowe Price, noted that the longer inflation flatlined, the more it could delay rate cuts: Officials are ...
