Regenerative Costa Rica: Nutrition In Every Plate

Regenerative Costa Rica: Nutrition In Every Plate – The Costa Rica News

The first week of August we had a visit to the nutritionist Alejandra Irola from “Qué dice la Nutri”, who was accompanying us in our “Regenerative Costa Rica” initiative, collecting the product harvested from the “Tierra Mágica de Tempate” farm in Guanacaste, Costa Rica.

The intention of this activity was to promote a healthy, nutritious and creative consumption of the products recently collected from the orchards, in which they have been working together with various actors in the area, to transform degraded soils into food-producing soils, 100% organic.

With participation of representatives from the communities

Talks were given with the participation of representatives of the communities involved in the project, from the Academy to the beneficiaries, who have been an extremely important part of the entire process of regeneration and use of the soils. Alejandra explained the benefits of consuming organic food, for example, she highlighted, which plants are important for iron and how consuming them helps promote health.

The teachings given by Alejandra had as a mission that those involved in the Regenerative Costa Rica projects responsibly consume the fruit of their work on the land that they get the most out of the products that have been grown with their own hands. carried out the elaboration of delicious recipes in which the nutritional and low-fat balance of the prepared dishes was stimulated. During this visit, there were challenges and tasks, among which were preparing creative dishes with harvested food, without losing the great culinary legacy of Guanacaste cuisine.

From the University for International Cooperation, it is very gratifying to know that food harvested under the standards of UNA Salud (FAO), following the principles of regenerative agriculture, are used in the form of healthy and responsible consumption with ancestral production practices of food. We are deeply grateful to Alejandra for her visit and at the same time we urge all who read us to consume the food they put on their table in a responsible and informed way.

Pennsylvania court tosses school mask mandate, health secretary appeals – Fox News

An order by Pennsylvania’s acting health secretary that requires masks inside K-12 schools and child care facilities was thrown out Wednesday by a state court that said she lacked the authority. The Wolf administration said lawyers were directed to file an immediate appeal. Commonwealth Court sided 4-1 with the ranking Republican in the state Senate and others who sued to challenge the masking order that took effect in early September as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf’s spokesperson said Health Department lawyers were directed to file an appeal to the state Supreme Court on Wednesday, a move his administration said would effectively put the new decision on hold.

“Nutrition is an under-utilised area of care for Covid-19” says Nutricia – NutraIngredients.com

A survey commissioned by Nutricia, Danone’s medical nutrition arm, found that 65% of hospitalised Covid-19 patients experienced clinically significant weight loss, and only 50% received medical nutrition, with that figure falling to 15% at discharge from hospital. A total of 453 adult patients who were hospitalised with Covid-19 across the UK, France, Spain, Italy and Germany took part in the research, which was conducted by IPSOS. A longer stay in hospital was found to be linked to increased likelihood of clinically significant weight loss (>5%), and many patients reported on symptoms that could worsen their nutritional status, such as diarrhoea, loss of taste/smell and difficulty swallowing. Nutricia said the findings, which were presented at the annual conference of the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) last week, revealed the need to better integrate nutrition into medical care to improve Covid-19 patient recovery in hospital and after discharge....

How health care workers went from ‘heroes to villains’ – NBC News

Dr. Sheryl Recinos’ patient refused to accept her diagnosis of Covid-19. Her cough was because of Recinos’ perfume, the patient insisted, certain that her positive Covid-19 test could not be correct. Recinos, a family medicine hospitalist in California, was not wearing perfume. The test result, Recinos told her patient, was accurate. The interaction, in summer 2020, was an outlier at the time. But in recent months, such conversations have become more common. Recinos has treated people who, two weeks into hospital stays for Covid-related breathing struggles, still do not believe they have the coronavirus. She has had patients who have questioned her judgment, patients who have demanded to be given the same medications that former President Donald Trump received when he had Covid and family members of patients who have screamed at her for something as simple as giving their loved ones oxygen, a necessary treatment that they argue is doing more harm than good. “It’s baffling. I’...
