PETA & Lydia Guevara

El articulo Peta, el Ché Guevara y los animales Cuba, la Tragedia interminable http://www.gentiuno.com/articulo.asp?articulo=7756 publicado en Gentiuno. Estoy de acuerdo en denunciar el asesino que fue el Che Guevara, y todo esos revolucionarios de mala fe incluyendo al inefable de Hugo Chavez. Sin embargo, me molesto mucho que insultara y descalificara a la obra de People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

Me imagino que Lydia Guevara reacciono y realizo la desgracia de la memoria de su abuelo y que aun el dia de hoy gente sin educación llevan en franelas y otras ilustraciones la foto del asesino Che Guevara sin saber lo que ese individuo sociopata hizo.

Utilizar la misma boina para llegar a aquellos que no saben de nutricion, tal vez logre implementar una buena obra para compasión con los animales y mejorar la nutricion. La campaña de PETA utilizando a Lydia Guevara me parece una excelente idea para poder llegar a aquellos que no tienen privilegios de buena educación.

Yo he seguido desde los años 1980s a PETA. Me uni a ellos por algunos años cuando respondi a una llamada urgente de unos de sus miembros que rescato a dos chimpances de un laboratorio en el estado de Maryland. Los chimpances fueron victimas de viviseccion y les habian amputados los brazos. En menos de 24 horas la comunidad donde vivo en Washington, DC respondio ayudando para el bienestar de los chimpancés.

Debido a algunas gente violenta que se unieron por un tiempo a PETA me sali del grupo. Pero, en todos estos años he visto y apoyado los logros. PETA se ha unido a grupos proteccionistas de animales de donde soy miembra activa como Humane Society of the United States para crear nuevas leyes para la proteccion de los animales donde todos testificamos en el U.S. Congress.

PETA tiene miembros activos y millones de gente que los apoya. Todos apoyando los logros de PETA. PETA se ha dedicado a enseñar mejores estilos de vida con nutricion basada en compasión y tratamiento etico de los animales.

Siempre sigo el consejo de Alexander von Humboldt "El grado de civilización de un pueblo se mide por la forma que trata a los animales."

Les invito a leer las siguientes publicaciones sobre nutricion:

Eating Healthy

Recently I met with a group of individuals outside my daily routine, and I was appalled of how unhealthy they eat. While most of us go out of our way to improve our daily nutrition, others just eat with no concerns about what a poor nutrition does to their health.

I love the fact that U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama planted an organic garden at The White House, but have noticed that the Obamas eat animals.

10 Healthy Habits That May Help You Live to 100

10 Healthy Habits That May Help You Live to 100

You don't need to eat yogurt and live on a mountaintop, but you do need to floss.

By Deborah Kotz, U.S. News & World Report

Don't retire

Floss every day

Move around

"Exercise is the only real fountain of youth that exists," says S. Jay Olshansky, Ph.D., a professor of medicine and aging researcher at the University of Illinois in Chicago. "It's like the oil-and-lube job for your car. You don't have to do it, but your car will definitely run better." Study after study has documented the benefits of exercise to improve mood, mental acuity, balance, muscle mass, and bone health. "And the benefits kick in immediately after your first workout," Olshansky adds. Don't worry if you're not a gym rat. Those who see the biggest payoffs are the ones who go from doing nothing to simply walking around the neighborhood or local mall for about 30 minutes a day. Building muscle with resistance training is also ideal, but yoga classes can give you similar strength-training effects if you're not into weight lifting.

Eat a fiber-rich cereal for breakfast

Get at least six hours of shut-eye

Consume whole foods, not supplements

Be less neurotic

Live like a Seventh Day Adventist
Americans who define themselves as Seventh Day Adventists have an average life expectancy of 89, about a decade longer than the average American. One of the basic tenets of the religion is that it's important to cherish the body that's on loan from God, which means no smoking, alcohol abuse, or overindulging in sweets. Followers typically stick to a vegetarian diet based on fruits, vegetables, beans, and nuts, and also get plenty of exercise. They're also very focused on family and community.

Be a creature of habit
Centenarians tend to live by strict routines, says Olshansky, eating the same kind of diet and doing the same kinds of activities their whole lives. Going to bed and waking up at the same time each day is another good habit to keep your body in the steady equilibrium that can be easily disrupted as you get on in years. "Your physiology becomes frailer when you get older," explains Ferrucci, "and it's harder for your body to bounce back if you, say, miss a few hours of sleep one night or drink too much alcohol." This can weaken immune defenses, leaving you more susceptible to circulating flu viruses or bacterial infections.

Stay connected
Having regular social contacts with friends and loved ones is key to avoiding depression, which can lead to premature death, something that's particularly prevalent in elderly widows and widowers. Some psychologists even think that one of the biggest benefits elderly folks get from exercise is due to strong social interactions that come from walking with a buddy or taking a group exercise class. Having a daily connection with a close friend or family member gives older folks the added benefit of having someone watch their back. "They'll tell you if they think your memory is going or if you seem more withdrawn," says Perls, "and they might push you to see a doctor before you recognize that you need to see one yourself."

Transition into Vegan

The following article is from a Farm Sanctuary Campaign:

http://vegforlife.org/howto.htm

http://www.farmsanctuary.org/

Making the Transition:

People adopt a vegetarian lifestyle for many reasons, including the desire to treat animals with compassion, protect the environment and better overall health. Today, making the transition from an animal-dependent lifestyle to a compassionate, vegan way of life has never been easier. Meat substitutes and soy "dairy" foods have turned up at virtually every supermarket. Whole-foods groceries and co-operatives with even wider arrays of healthful plant, soy and dairy-free foods are within reach of most Americans. Nearly any restaurant, from fine dining to fast food, can prepare a flavorful, vegan meal.

Water Awareness

Wishing you a very happy and prosperous New Year 2009!

I am glad that Andrew Weil, PhD published this information concerning water on www.drweil.com. I hope that everyone thinks twice before plunging into the swimming pools!

Are You Showering in Chlorine?

Each Sunday in January we present healthy home tips - enjoy, and pass them along to friends and loved ones.Most Americans - up to 80 percent - drink water that has chlorine in it. While many people now use water filters in conjunction with their faucets for drinking water, many do not consider the amount of chlorine absorbed through a shower. Skin absorbs water; if that water is chlorinated, some chlorine is absorbed as well. To combat the effects of chlorinated water (which may include an increased risk of cancer and reproductive problems), purchase a water filter for your showerhead. Carbon-based filters and KDF filters made of copper and zinc both help to remove chlorine.
