Science has not yet been able to clarify the causes of Alzheimer's disease, although its appearance in elderly people is linked to genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors.

If you have toasted with a glass of cava this Christmas you probably have not noticed it, but its quality depends, in part, on the persistence of the famous Azores anticyclone.

Beans are the legumes with the highest potassium content, and in some cases they can contain more than 1200 milligrams per 100 grams. Soy also has high percentages of potassium (515 mg / 100 gr.), Which is also nutritionally interesting due to its high protein content.
Table olives cannot be eaten directly from the tree because they contain a very bitter phenolic compound, called oleuropein. To eliminate it ("sweetening" process), they are usually immersed in a dilute solution of soda (sodium hydroxide), which also forms organic acids that favor subsequent fermentation and increase the permeability of the fruit.
Functional foods, designer foods, nutraceuticals, alicamentos, medicalimento or pharmaceuticals are some of the terms used to give names to the products that, in addition to providing nutrients, improve health or prevent a chronic or degenerative disease of high prevalence.
