Peaches are a great source of consternation for me. I am convinced that the last good peach I ate was consumed during my childhood, in 2001 or 2002, somewhere in the neighborhood of Kisela Voda in Skopje, Macedonia. Most likely, it was one I had picked from a neighbor’s tree on my way from one grandmother’s house to the other—it was sun-kissed, warm, and fuzzy. I’d have wiped the fuzz off on my shirt, having learned the hard way that the down would prickle if I didn’t. (So taken with the softness of my very first Peach-Off-the-Branch, I nuzzled it against my face only to be met with the burn of trichomes stinging my cheek.) I doubt I gave a second thought to the fruit’s looming endangered status as I bit into lush velvet skin, enjoying the symphony on my taste buds as I ambled on, juice running down my chin and hands.
The perfect peach was hardly a rare commodity in those days. Even though my family lived in the city capital, our neighborhood was more orchard than metropolitan, and in the summer, the dirt roads that passed for streets were often littered with stone fruits in various states of decay. It seemed to me the only people who actually bought peaches from the market were usually friends who lived in the tower blocks, or those tasked with bringing produce to the old pensioner Baba who was too crippled with arthritis to make the journey to Zelen Pazar herself.
I don’t know what happened to peaches. I don’t know if it was the arrival of the Western-Style Supermarket, catering to a newly capitalized (and capitalist) workforce in need of convenience. Maybe it was the succession of neighbors who took to chopping down their fruit trees, favoring grass plots in place of groves, flower bushes instead of food. My father spent years trying to make his own manicured emerald Gatsby Lawn happen, all at the cost of the sour cherries, apricots and wild roses that had survived decades in the front yard with little enterprise. Just like that, the beloved peaches of my childhood were nowhere to be found. Still, I kept hope alive.
Hope held until the summer of 2018, when I finally made it back to Skopje. I booked a room in the center of town, mere footsteps from the market. In a jet lag fugue, I went and bought peaches—from a few different vendors, just to be safe—and brought them to my grandmother’s barrack. Slivers of each batch were laid out to try, but these peaches weren’t it. They were pale, watery, and lackluster. “It rained too much this year,” my grandmother said with a shake of the head and a tsk, redirecting her attention to the Turkish soap opera on TV. Easier for her to move on—she’d had decades of good peaches.
From the orchards of Ontario, to the Obor market in Bucharest, to the organic aisle at Whole Foods, and back to Skopje once more. Nothing comes close to my memory in full saturation. The perfect peach, with its halo of fragrance, its lanugo coat, its just-blushed hue, is now an elusive and illusory sphere.
G/O Media may get a commission
The longing for those bygone peaches is often accentuated not so much by their absence, but by the facsimiles that arrive every season to take their place. At this point, I have given up on finding the perfect peach. I can’t handle another anemic and mealy letdown. Instead, when the urge comes, I create my own holograms. I know it’s not the real thing, but it still feels closer somehow.
This week’s cocktail is an ode to my memory of peaches. Seasonal peaches provide the base of this conjuring, and mezcal evokes the salinity of my tears (lol). The dashes of heat are optional, but necessary if you want that trichome-inspired sting. To make this homage, you will need:
3-5 peach slices (I use donut peaches, but use whatever is ripe and around)
3/4 ounce lemon juice (fresh)
¾ ounce honey syrup*
2 ounces mezcal (of the less smoky variety) or blanco tequila
Optional: A couple of dashes of habanero bitters, or just plain tabasco works fine.
*To make honey syrup, simply add 1 part hot water to 3 parts honey and stir thoroughly.
Place peach slices and a couple dashes of hot sauce in a shaker and muddle to a near puree. Add the lemon, honey syrup, and mezcal. Fill the shaker with ice, and give it a good quick shake; a count to eight should suffice. Strain into a chilled glass over ice, the fresher and dryer the better. A single large ice cube is ideal but work with what you have.
(Please feel free to treat this as a template for you to riff on. Play around with different modifiers, and different spirits. Gin, for instance, almost always plays nice.)
Genshin Impact just got its biggest update yet, allowing players to travel to Inazuma, the nation of the Electro Archon. As you travel through Inazuma for the first time, you will find a wealth of new resources unique to the area. While some of these resources aren’t terribly important yet, some are absolutely necessary for ascending characters and completing quests. Fortunately, we’ve trekked across the whole of Inazuma and know exactly where you need to go to farm these valuable resources.
Local specialty resources in Inazuma
As is the case with Mondstadt and Liyue, Inazuma also has local specialty resources. Currently, there are six local specialties in Inazuma: Sakura blooms, Naku weeds, Crystal Marrow, Sea Ganoderma, Onikabuto, and Dendrobium. While these resources are plentiful, if you need several in a hurry, we’ve mapped out the best places to farm them.
Perhaps the most important resource on the list, Sakura blooms are electrified blossoms from the Sacred Sakura of the Grand Narukami Shrine. These petals are necessary to ascend the long-awaited character, Ayaka, and they’re a common ingredient in Inazuma recipes, so you’re going to want a bunch of them. Fortunately, there are over 60 to be gathered ever other day.
Sakura blooms are found exclusively on Narukami Island, concentrated around the Sacred Sakura. They show up as purple clouds and when an Electro attack is applied, the petals can be collected. These blooms, like other local specialties, respawn 48 hours after they’ve been collected.
Source: Android Central
Collecting every Sakura bloom requires trekking across the whole of Narukami Island, but there are a few places where you can get a bunch at once. The Grand Narukami Shrine itself produces a dozen Sakura blooms, and though you could just fast travel there, you can also find seven more on the walk up the mountain. Once you’ve completed the Sakura Cleansing Ritual world quest, you can travel down to the roots of the Sacred Sakura, where another five Sakura blooms can be gathered. You can gather seven more Sakura blooms in the ruins of Araumi and another dozen Sakura blooms can be collected in and around the Kamisato estate.
There is also a portion of Inazuma that isn’t accessible yet. When the remaining islands are released, we may even be lucky enough to have a merchant selling Sakura blooms.
Where to farm Naku weeds in Inazuma
Source: Android Central
Another electrified plant, Naku weeds have medicinal properties and can earn you some handsome rewards if you get them to the right NPCs. It has also been suggested that the upcoming character, Yoimiya, will use Naku weeds in ascension, so players who are planning to pull for her would do well to stock up ahead of time. Fortunately, there are several places to farm Naku weeds.
If you’re already farming Sakura blooms, you will find ten Naku weeds around the Grand Narukami shrine. However, the bulk of Naku Weeds are found in and around the Mikage Furnace in Kannazuka. Over 20 of these plants surround Tatarasuna. Then, you can find another seven weeds along the Musoujin Gorge on Yashiori Island.

Additionally, you can purchase a handful of Naku weeds from Aoi, the NPC who runs Tsukumomono Groceries in Inazuma City. Each week, she will have five for sale, and like the general good stores in Mondstadt and Liyue, she will offer you a discount if you raise your reputation high enough.
Where to farm Crystal Marrow in Inazuma
Source: Android Central
The secret to Inazuman smelting, Crystal Marrow is currently only needed for particular quests, but it has been suggested that it will be necessary for ascending the upcoming tanuki-clad ninja, Sayu. Crystal Marrow form in and around the bones of Orobaxi, a massive serpent god slayed by the Raiden Shogun many years prior. In death, Orobaxi created the Tatarigami, a curse that causes plague and natural disasters, and each Crystal Marrow contains a small sliver of the Tatarigami.
Most of the Crystal Marrow points are found on Yashiori Island, specifically along Orobaxi’s massive skeleton. You can find just shy of 50 Crystal Marrow here. You can find an additional 13 around Tatarasuna while farming Naku weeds. With a handful of harder to reach Crystal Marrow, it is possible to gather 66 each refresh, which means it will take nearly a week to get all the Crystal Marrow necessary to ascend Sayu.
Source: Android Central
For now however, you’ll need Crystal Marrow for Chouji, a young boy whose miner parents fell sick from Tatarigami. You can find Chouji just outside the Jokotsu Mine, where he is trying to sell Crystal Marrow to leave the island and search for his missing parents. In the course of completing his side quest, he will ask for a dozen Crystal Marrow several times. Although Chouji is soon revealed to be scamming you, keep giving him the Crystal Marrow and you will eventually get substantial rewards for helping him.
Where to farm Sea Ganoderma in Inazuma
Source: Android Central
Although Sea Ganoderma have been available outside of Inazuma, the only other place where players could gather them was the Golden Apple Archipelago, an area that has since been closed off. Now, if you want to gather these plants, Inazuma is your best bet. Sea Ganoderma are necessary for ascending Kazuha. It is also likely there will be future characters and quests that require this odd, mushroom-like plant.
Unlike Sakura blooms, Naku weeds, and Crystal Marrow however, Sea Ganoderma aren’t found in large clusters. They can be found along the coasts of each major island. The largest clusters can be found on the northwest shore of Kannazuka. Sea Ganoderma refresh 48 hours after being picked and in total there are almost 60 along the coasts. The quickest way to make sure you’ve got them all is to summon the Waverider and trace the coastlines.
Where to farm Onikabuto in Inazuma
Source: Android Central
Another unique resource that will likely have more uses in the future are Onikabuto. These sedentary lavender beetles are attracted to Electro energy, and can be found on trees and rocks throughout Inazuma. While these little beetles are the rarest of Inazuma’s local specialties, they also don’t have many uses yet.
There are twenty that can be farmed each refresh, and unlike the other bugs you catch, they don’t flee or move at all. If these do end up being an ascension material for future characters, keep in mind you need 168 to fully ascend just one. Given how rare the Onikabuto are, it would be wise to set time aside for farming them.
Where to farm Dendrobium in Inazuma
Source: Android Central
Inspired by Lycoris or red spider lilies, Dendrobium are viewed in much the same way in Teyvat, as a symbol of death. These flowers can be found littering battlefields and when gathered, can be offered at simple tombs to honor the fallen. So far, that’s the only use for them; however, it has been speculated that future character will use them for ascension, so it helps to farm them now.
Most of the 36 Dendrobium are on Nazuchi beach between Kannazuka and Yashiori Islands. The other clusters can be found on the northernmost island in Kannazuka, around the Pyro Hypostatis. Like Onikabuto, these flowers have the potential to be ascension materials, so it’s a good idea to start farming them now.
Other local specialties?
Source: Android Central
Although these six items are the only local specialty resources in Inazuma now, both Mondstadt and Liyue have eight local specialties each, so it’s possible two more will be added with the next major update. Additionally, there are two ingredients, Lavender Melons and Seagrass, as well as amethyst lumps, and several new types of wood that can be farmed in Inazuma.
Lavender Melons can be found on trees scattered about in much the same way as Sunsettias in Mondstadt and Liyue. These trees also provide Cuiha wood for crafting furniture. Seagrass can be gathered along the coastline, similar to Sea Ganoderma. Both can also be purchased from Shimura’s restaurant in Inazuma City. Amethyst lumps are abundant and found alongside the various other ores you can mine.
Gardening local specialties in the Serenitea Pot
Source: Android Central
Also new with the addition of Inazuma, players can now farm some local specialty resources in their Serenitea Pot. Tubby will sell up to five plots for gardening, along with the seeds, spores, or cuttings to grow several plants:
Jade Field can be used to grow Valberries, Sweet Flowers, Small Lamp Grass flowers, Jueyun Chilis, Carrots, Radishes, Mint, and Mushrooms.
Luxuriant Glebe can be used to grow Silk Flowers, Cecilias, Glaze Lilies, Windwheel Asters, Qingxin, Violet Grass, and Naku Weeds.
Orderly Meadow can be used to grow Horsetails, Snapdragons, Lotus Heads, Calla Lilies, Seagrass, and Sea Ganoderma.
Players can purchase two Jade Fields, one Luxuriant Glebe, and two Orderly Meadows, and these plots can be used indefinitely for up to four plants at a time. Tubby restocks seeds, allowing players to purchase up to five of each per week.

Nearly two years after the Playdate made its public debut, Panic’s quirky gaming handheld with a crank is ready for the masses. The company recently announced that the Playdate will be available for pre-order on July 29th for $179, with a ship date of later this year. I’ve been playing with a “press preview” version of the Playdate for the past couple of weeks, and while it’s not perfect, I still think it’s an incredibly charming handheld with a lot of potential. The question is whether there’ll be enough interest — from both developers and consumers — to keep it going for the long haul.

For the uninitiated, the Playdate is not just Panic’s first-ever gaming handheld; it’s also the company’s first piece of hardware, period. Panic made its name making Mac software like Transmit and Coda, and has recently ventured into publishing indie games such as Firewatch, Untitled Goose Game and the yet-to-be-released Nour: Play With Your Food. From its inception, Panic wanted Playdate to be a different kind of handheld; instead of something mainstream like Nintendo’s Switch, it was supposed to be more like the Game & Watch devices of yore, but with a modern twist. “We didn’t want it to be too cool, but we didn’t want it to be too goofy,” said Cabel Sasser, Panic’s co-founder.
Thanks to a design collaboration with Teenage Engineering, known mostly for making quirky audio gear, the Playdate certainly fulfills that brief. The hardware is tiny; about the size of a stack of Post-It notes (76 x 74 x 9 mm), and has a black-and-white screen. But its most unique design feature is its fold-out crank, which acts as an additional game controller. It’s this combination of silly and adorable that adds to the Playdate’s charm, and I’ll fully admit that I fell for it the first time I tried a prototype back in 2019.
Engadget
The aforementioned preview unit I have on-hand is the final hardware, though the software isn’t quite there yet. Everything is similar to how it was two years ago. The button placement is the same, with the D-pad and A and B buttons under the display, the menu button on the right, and the lock button sitting on the top (you activate the Playdate by pressing the lock button twice; pressing it again will enable standby mode). All the controls feel responsive enough, with a pleasant clickiness. On the side is the mono speaker, which is surprisingly loud and clear given its size. Underneath is a 3.5mm headphone jack plus a USB-C charging port.
Most important to me, however, was that crank, which is housed on the Playdate’s right side. To access it, simply flip it open to reveal a small rotating yellow handle, which you can then use to rotate the arm backwards or forwards. The whole contraption feels a lot more solid than I remember; the rotation feels silky smooth, but it isn’t so loose that it continues to spin when I let go. This is a good thing, as it allows for more precise control, which turns out to be quite important in certain games. Internally, the Playdate has a 180 MHz Cortex M7 CPU, 16MB of RAM, 4GB of Flash storage, Bluetooth, and 802.11 bgn 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
The Playdate is molded from what Panic says is an extremely durable engineering thermoplastic, and the screen is laminated to a hardened glass face. That aforementioned crank is also pretty solid; it’s made out of stainless steel, and the handle is plastic with a stainless steel core. The Playdate will likely survive the occasional jostle in your pocket or bag. But if you want to keep it completely free of blemishes, Panic does offer a cover for $29 (You could also purchase the Playdate bundled with the cover for $199).
Engadget
While I do like the hardware for the most part, I have to admit I have a somewhat love-hate relationship with the screen. One of the reasons Panic chose to go with a Sharp Memory LCD was because of its super-sharp pixels that use very little power (Pebble aficionados might recall that its eponymous smartwatch used Sharp Memory LCDs as well). I agree that the black and white images do look very crisp, especially in bright sunlight. However, the Playdate lacks any kind of backlight or front light, which means it’s terrible in dim environments. Maybe it’s because I live and work in a relatively dark room, but I found this rather annoying. At one point I had to position a book light underneath the Playdate just to play a game on the couch.
I should note that the Playdate does last a long time in between charges. I’ve left it unplugged for nearly two weeks now, and even though I’ve played a few hours every day, it still has over half of its battery life left.
I also noticed an “Upside Down” mode in the Settings menu, which turns the screen, well, upside down. When asked, Sasser said that this is an experimental mode for left-handed users who want to use the crank with their left hands. He did say, however, that this is feature is still subject to change.
As wonderful as the hardware is, the real value of the Playdate is the content. Though the device costs $179, it will now come with 24 different titles instead of the initial 12 (it’ll also ship with 4GB of storage instead of 2). My preview unit only came with four games however: Crankin’s Time Travel Adventure, Lost Your Marbles, Saturday Edition and Whitewater Wipeout.
Engadget
I had already played Crankin’ a couple of years ago when I tried the Playdate for the first time. Designed by Katamari Damacy’s Keita Takahashi, the only controller in this game is the crank, which you’ll use to hurry Crankin along his path to meet his girlfriend, Crankette. Spinning it forward will move him forward, while spinning it backward will get Crankin to do the same. The trick is that you have to navigate various obstacles like bees and birds, which exist outside the flow of time. So as you rush along, you have to position Crankin in such a way that he can avoid them. For example, you’ll want Crankin to bend down to smell the flowers exactly when the bees fly overhead.
That might seem like a relatively easy premise, but the obstacles get more complicated as the levels progress, forcing me to replay them several times before I can get them right. Currently, I’m stuck on level five despite multiple attempts. Guess I’m not going to see Crankette any time soon.
I much prefer Lost Your Marbles, which was designed by Sweet Baby Inc & Friends. In this game, a girl named Prota is going to work for a cat scientist named Marbels (no that’s not a typo), but unwittingly brings her dog Minty along on her first day. Let’s just say that things don’t go well, and Minty eventually goes missing. Somehow, Prota also, uh, loses her “marbles” in the process. As Prota goes around town trying to find her dog, you answer questions by using the crank to roll a marble around an obstacle-filled construction, making sure that the marble hits the answer you want (It’s not explicitly said, but my guess is that the marble puzzle here represents Prota’s brain).
Engadget
I found it a little tricky to control the marble, so I ended up picking a lot of what I thought were incorrect answers. But I soon found out that there’s really no such thing as the wrong answer in this game. That’s because the weirder the answer, the more hilarious the story becomes. For example, when you’re picking the photo for Minty’s missing dog poster, one of the options is for her butt. I didn’t mean to select it, but I did so accidentally. I know this all sounds incredibly silly, and it is, but I also found the whole thing very amusing.
Saturday Edition, on the other hand, is a lot more serious, at least on the surface. Developed by Chris Makris, this is a point-and-click style adventure game which doesn’t use the crank at all. Instead, all navigation is done via the D-pad and A and B buttons. In this game, you play the character of John Kornfield who’s had a long history with aliens, but is currently on Earth.
The game opens with him in his apartment, and the cops are knocking on the door. Using the controls, you’re able to interact with various elements in the apartment like listening to the answering machine or opening the microwave. The game suggested to me that it’s a lot wiser to exit the apartment via the fire escape instead, so I did. I’ll admit that I haven’t gotten very far in this game — I’ve so far only been to his office and the nearby shopping mall. I do find the story quite intriguing so far, but I’m going to have to sink in a few more hours before I uncover all the game’s secrets.
Engadget
Last but not least is Whitewater Wipeout, by Chuhai Labs. All you have to do here is surf for as long as possible, performing tricks along the way to earn points. Like Crankin, the only controller here is the crank, which you’ll use to move the surfboard. The highest score I’ve achieved so far is 35, which is not great at all. There will eventually be a global leaderboard which you can use to compare your skills to others.
If it isn’t obvious by now, my favorite games are the ones with a heavy story element, such as Lost Your Marbles and Saturday Edition. I am not very good with hand-eye coordination, so Crankin’ and Wipeout are not really my thing. I’ll also add that after a week or so of playing the same four games over and over, I got bored pretty quickly.
Thankfully, however, the Playdate will definitely be getting more games. As part of its $179 price, the console actually comes bundled with a season’s worth of titles — 24 games in total. The first two games will start downloading the moment you activate your Playdate, and then you’ll get two games every Monday thereafter for 11 weeks.
That is, fundamentally, the sticking point with any console like this — as quirky and glorious as the hardware is, it’ll live and die in the amount of new games you can add to this on a regular basis. The indie gaming community has already embraced the Playdate wholeheartedly — tens of thousands of developers have already expressed interest in making games for it — and the company announced that they’ll be able to sell software and games that can be sideloaded to the device.
There’s no denying that the Playdate is a fairly niche device — it’s an indie handheld made for indie games — and that’s the very thing that is so appealing about it. But it’s unclear if interest in the Playdate will last beyond its initial release.

A wise man once sang, “I just wanna taste it, I just wanna taste it / Watermelon sugar high,” and truer words have never been spoken. There’s something special about savoring the sweet flavors of a fresh watermelon on a hot summer day, and it never seems to get old, even after countless seasons in the sun. While we’re no strangers to enjoying a watermelon in its many forms (especially in this smoky melon cocktail), we are somewhat new to making the most of the fruit’s fresh rind. But leave it to TikTok users to change that and enlighten our taste buds in the very way we needed.
TikTok user Chaheti (@rootedinspice) shared her mom’s easy watermelon-rind recipe, and it’s the definition of watermelon (sugar) high. Known as tarbooz ki sabji (or cooked watermelon rinds), this drool-worthy Indian recipe just requires a pot of boiling water, a dash of spices, and of course, watermelon rinds. Simple enough for any at-home chef to re-create, this viral video has already racked up more than five million views, and it’s not hard to see why! With delicious spices and easy steps, this recipe is all you need to make the most of the season’s finest flavors. Enjoy!
Notes
Use the whole watermelon including the green skin.
Ingredients
4 cups watermelon rinds with the green skin on
1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon hing (asafoetida)
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
1/8 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (+/- based on heat preference)
1 dried red chili (optional)
1 teaspoon amchur (dried mango powder) (can sub with fresh lemon juice)
Salt to taste
Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
Directions
Start boiling water in a large sauté pan.
Carefully cut the watermelon, and separate the rind from the “flesh.”
Then, cut the rinds into bite-size pieces.
Add the rinds to the boiling water, return the water back to a boil, and cook the watermelon for 20 to 25 minutes or until the rinds are tender.
Drain the rinds, set them aside, and dry the pan.
Once the pan is completely dry, heat up the oil.
Add cumin seeds to the pan, and wait for them to get hot. Then on low heat, add the hing, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and dried chili. Toast the spices for 30 seconds.
Add the rinds back to the pan, increase the heat, add salt, and sauté for 5 minutes or until the raw smell of the spices has gone away and the watermelons are well coated.

Anglicismos como “cleaneating” (comida limpia) o “healthyfood” (alimentación sana) inundan últimamente las redes sociales.
No es de extrañar que hoy en día la población esté cada vez más interesada en tomar decisiones correctas con respecto a su dieta.
Al fin y al cabo, cada vez contamos con más evidencias acerca de la estrecha relación entre lo que consumimos y distintas enfermedades asociadas, precisamente, a hábitos alimenticios dañinos.
En el último siglo nuestros hábitos han cambiado a pasos agigantados y con ellos nuestra forma de vivir, relacionarnos, informarnos y comer.
Y eso no nos ha dejado indiferentes. Los hay que se han dejado llevar por la corriente de la globalización y de las interminables jornadas laborales, abandonando dietas como la mediterránea en favor de los productos prefabricados.
En el polo opuesto, están quienes han optado por la alimentación bioecológica, preguntando en el supermercado de la esquina por alimentos ayurveda para estupefacción del empleado de turno.
De entrada, pinta bien que la sociedad busque mejorar su salud en base a la alimentación. Sin embargo, detrás de estas etiquetas de bio o eco a veces se esconden consejos o alimentos engañosos.
Mirarlos con ojos críticos es fundamental para no caer en la ortorexia nerviosa.
¿Cómo reconocer la ortorexia nerviosa?
El término ortorexia nerviosa (ON) lo acuñó en 1997 Steve Bratman, precisamente basándose en la propia obsesión que desarrolló él mismo por una alimentación limpia de cualquier sustancia considerada “no pura”.

Pie de foto,
La obsesión por la dieta sana puede conducir al deterioro de la salud.
Deriva del griego ὀρθóς (correcto) y ὄρεξις (apetito). Se utiliza en el caso de individuos que combinan una dieta muy restrictiva de ciertos alimentos con rituales alimentarios a la hora de consumirlos o prepararlos. Por ejemplo, cortar los alimentos de una forma determinada.
Normalmente son rituales que cada vez ocupan más tiempo del paciente sin aportar ningún valor nutricional.
A veces la obsesión por la calidad o pureza de los alimentos llega a tal extremo que acaban provocándose restricciones y carencias dietéticas que afectan de forma importante a su salud.
Otra cosa que tienen en común los sujetos ortoréxicos es que suelen etiquetar como “peligrosas” las conservas, y de “artificiales” a los productos que son producidos industrialmente y de “sanos” a los biológicos.
A nivel psicológico, coinciden en una alta autoestima ligada al cumplimento de una dieta supuestamente más saludable que la de los demás.
Sin embargo, con frecuencia experimentan frustración y ansiedad cuando transgreden o no cumplen rigurosamente con los criterios y rituales que se han autoimpuesto.
Suelen acabar creyendo que estar solos es la única manera de controlar completamente todo el proceso de preparación de alimentos. Y corren el riesgo de aislarse socialmente.
Fuente de la imagen,Getty Images
¿Patología o preocupacion saludable?
Por supuesto, la búsqueda de una dieta saludable no debe considerarse en sí misma como una condición patológica. Solo cuando esta búsqueda conduce a una obsesión que paradójicamente deteriora la salud y otros aspectos del paciente se considera ortorexia.
Un trastorno que, dicho sea de paso, a día de hoy no se encuentra oficialmente reconocido en ningún manual de trastornos mentales. A pesar de que tiene rasgos comunes con trastornos de la conducta alimentaria, según un estudio realizado por los autores de este artículo.
En estas investigaciones, empleando herramientas de diagnostico autoinformadas que valoran el riesgo de padecer ortorexia, se ha situado su prevalencia en torno al 10% en población universitaria española.
Entonces, ¿todo aquel que se preocupa por su alimentación en exceso podría estar poniendo en peligro su salud mental? No necesariamente.
Otros investigadores proponen diferenciar la ortorexia saludable de la ortorexia patológica. Entendiendo que sí tendría cabida una preocupación por la comida sana sin resultados patológicos para la salud.
En cualquier caso, podemos y debemos interesarnos por mantener una alimentación sana.
Pero en ningún caso debería convertirse nunca en una obsesión, ni mucho menos dominar nuestra vida. Informarse con nutricionistas acreditados y adquirir conocimientos de nutrición, siempre de la mano de profesionales, son los mejores aliados cuando intentamos adoptar hábitos saludables en alimentación.

Other examples of white foods include daikon (Chinese radish), quinoa, millet, amaranth, apples, garlic, ginger, oats, pears, parsnips, -turnips and onions. This is the food icon that will help you the most this season.
I strongly believe that using some of these in part of each day – from breakfast, snacks and dinner – this will strengthen you when it can be a very bad time for germs.
I like the example with a recipe for apple walnut quinoa porridge with rice milk, ground flax seeds and stuffed with raw honey, or a cup of hot apple cider with hot water to end the night.
Considering this time of year, I would be disappointed if I did not mention the community and gratitude. Gratitude is one of the healing feelings we can feel. It lifts our spirits and fills us with joy!

Not only this time of year, but each day share a thought of gratitude – for your food, for those who share in the harvest and for those who prepare and serve it. I can talk about experiences; Thankfully I have a plate full of food, when I know many are hungry. I finish my meal full and swear to give back when I can. kraft kitchen recipes

If you’ve been a runner for a while, there’s a good chance that, at one point or another, you’ve had to take an emergency pit stop to poop while on a long run. If you were lucky, there was a bathroom nearby. If you weren’t… well, let’s never speak about that again.
Runner’s trots (also called runner’s gut or runner’s stomach) is the euphemism strong urge to use the bathroom during or after a run, which can also be accompanied by abdominal cramping, nausea, and diarrhea. Although this can be uncomfortable and embarrassing, it’s also a normal part of being a runner.
If you are ever in doubt that your condition is severe, it’s best to get checked out by your doctor—but if you experience only the occasional episode of the runner’s trots, there are some ways to reduce the chances that it will happen again.
“Runner’s trots” is a common condition
In a study of distance runners, 62 percent reported needing to stop during a run to have a bowel movement (12% during an actual race), and almost half reported getting nervous diarrhea before a race. Keep in mind that this is self-reported data, which means some respondents may have a case of runner’s high-induced amnesia, while others may have been too embarrassed to disclose.

An episode of runner’s trots is a distinctly uncomfortable experience that combines the physical stresses of distance running, the agony of an upset digestive system, and the paralyzing fear of what will happen if you can’t get to a toilet in time.
When this happens, a runner may only have a few minutes in which to get to the bathroom before they will shit their pants. This can happen to the best of us, with higher rates of the condition observed in younger runners, women, as well as people who regularly run long distances.
During a run, a lot of the blood that would normally go to your gastrointestinal system is going to your muscles instead. Your GI system needs a lot of oxygenated blood to function properly; during a run, your muscles need it even more. The reduction in blood flow to your GI tract leads to reduced absorption of water, as well as a slowing down of its regular activity, all of which can lead to digestive issues.
Being dehydrated can make the problem even worse, leading to an increase in the probability of experiencing symptoms during or after a run.
Mechanical
Running is a high-impact activity. What that means is that when you go for a run, whatever is moving through your GI tract is jostling around, which can disrupt everything going on in there. For your lower GI tract, this can lead to symptoms such as flatulence, diarrhea, as well as the increased urge to poop.
This jostling around can also cause some damage to the lining of your intestinal tract, which can lead to the very fun symptom of rectal bleeding after a long run. (Runner’s high is one hell of a drug!)
Nutritional
What we eat can have a big impact on whether or not it’ll come out in the middle of a run. According to the 2014 review of GI complaints during exercise, the foods that cause the most issues are ones that are high in fiber, fat, protein and fructose, all of which have been associated with a high risk of GI issues. Dehydration is also a big culprit, while there’s some mixed evidence that suggests high-sugar beverages might also cause issues.
For some people, caffeine can cause issues, while sugar alcohols, such as the artificial sweeteners that are found in a large number of processed foods, can also cause problems during your run. If you are particularly sensitive to caffeine, try and limit your intake before a run, while also make it a habit to check the ingredients list of any processed foods such as protein bars or shakes for the presence of sugar alcohols in the place of sugar, which could cause particular problems.
Generally speaking, it’s best to avoid foods that are high in fat, fiber, and protein just before your run. Instead, opt for some easily digestible carbohydrates, such as a banana. During your run, it’s a good idea to eat or drink in small amounts if you can. You’ll also want to avoid eating any new foods before or during a long run or race, as you don’t know how your body might react.
If you find yourself dealing with GI issues on a regular basis, in addition to seeing your doctor, it can also help to keep a food diary, as we all react to foods differently.
How to prevent runner’s trots
All of this information is good to know, but you really want one question answeredL How do I avoid ever shitting my pants during a run? Although you can’t fully prevent a case of the runner’s trots, you can cut down on the likelihood of it happening again by following these guidelines:
Stay properly hydrated
Avoid foods that are high in fat, fiber or protein just before running, stick to easily digestible carbohydrates instead
Avoid too much caffeine or sugar alcohols before running
Keep a food diary to identify trigger foods
When in doubt, go to your doctor to get it checked out
The silver lining is that running is an effective way to ease constipation. Just make sure you are always close to a bathroom.
TweetDeck is a secret weapon for Twitter power users. The column layout allows them to keep tabs on tweets from a large number of accounts at once, using Twitter’s handy lists. That could be about to change, based on an image Twitter shared of the “new and improved TweetDeck” that it’s testing. At first glance, it looks a lot like the standard Twitter web app.
The company is testing the revamped TweetDeck with a few users in the US, Canada and Australia. Twitter product head Kayvon Beykpour said the updated TweetDeck includes “a full tweet composer, new advanced search features, new column types, and a new way to group columns into clean workspaces.” A menu on the left lists a number of “decks” centered around things like food, entertainment and news, as well as a “primary” deck.
Any big changes to TweetDeck will surely be met with skepticism from heavy users. Many of those who use the app do so as part of their jobs, and significant updates that disrupt people’s workflow might not sit too well with them.
Still, it’s worth remembering that this is a test and things might change before the updated TweetDeck rolls out more broadly. “Through these tests, we’re exploring how we can give people more customization and control using TweetDeck,” Beykpour wrote in a tweet.
Rumors have been floating around for a while that TweetDeck might become part of Twitter Blue, the company’s subscription service. Beykpour added a little fuel to that fire when discussing the app’s overhaul. “We’ll take these lessons into account as we explore what TweetDeck could look like within Twitter’s subscription offerings later on. We’ll have more to share soon as we learn from these tests,” he wrote.

Smart grill maker Traeger has bought wireless meat thermometer company Meater, which it says marks the next step in creating the “ultimate connected grilling experience.” Traeger allows users to monitor and control connected grills through a smartphone or Apple Watch. Bringing Meater on board will help people to get an accurate temperature reading for their food from just about anywhere, Traeger said.
Meater makes several Bluetooth and WiFi-enabled thermometers, while Traeger currently only sells wired thermometers. Traeger said the acquisition will enable it to “accelerate entry into the adjacent accessories market with a highly complementary technology-enabled product.” It’s unclear whether Traeger plans to bundle Meater products with its grills or sell them separately — Meater will continue to run as a standalone company. Still, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Traeger integrate Meater readings into its own apps for a more seamless outdoor cooking experience.
