Y la novia no se percató de ello

En esta ocasión eran dos caballeros. Casi perfectos, constitución corpulenta y de buena apariencia. Bien vestidos y de edad jovial. Tan pronto estuvieron frente a mí, uno se derribó. Ya no tenía más defensas. Había estado en la Casa de Novias con su hija, ayudando y opinando a solicitud de ella, los vestidos y
ascesorios. Pero, su pecho explotó ya frente a mí, esto le permitía quedar de espaldas a su bebé. La niña de sus ojos, la que jamás crecerá ni dejará de ser la consentida de papi.
--Le digo aquí, a mi amigo, el doctor, que lo coja suave... (mientras con su brazo le rodeaba sus hombros)
--Es que no puedo, no puedo, le contestaba el padre sollozando desde el pecho profundo, a su amigo y confidente.
--Sí, le contesté yo, respire, suave, respire, inhale, exhale. Es cierto, es así,
Y de inmediato le menciono al amigo que no lo deje solo en ningún momento. Mientras el caballero casi se doblaba para sacar lo que había estado aguantando, sencillamente, las emociones, las fuerzas lo abandonaron allí, las defensas lo dejaron. Ya en contacto con la realidad. La amalgama de alegría, penas y remordimientos. Todo el tiempo que dedicamos a otros, tiempo que era de ella, y no estuvo allí. Tal vez calidad de vida, esperar a realizar sueños y te sorprende la noticia, que ya no estarán más contigo, a tu lado. Pero te lo anuncian con una alegría, que tendrás un nuevo hijo, un yerno, serás abuelo algún día.  El vacío que queda en el hogar, es bastante similar a una triste pérdida mortuoria. Algo incomprendido, algo que sólo el que lo ha vivido puede entender.
Y la reseña del periódico lee: "Harán su residencia en Estados Unidos".
Yo había estudiado Coordinación de Actividades, y esto no se encontraba en el currículo. Pero sí, en las reuniones de la Asociación, escuché a más de una coordinadora decir a otra -
-- La boda de mi hija, la coordinarás tú, porque yo no voy a poder con eso...
Ya habían pasado madres, y luego de hablar un rato, les decía que caminara por la tienda, hacia el lado contrario donde se encontraba ella,y algunas amigas aveces, y aprovechara para inhalar y exhalar, relajar su pecho, y pensar a manera de mantra "todo está bien, todo está bien "... Tuve que hablar con amigas de la novia y decirle que no abandonara a la madre en ningún momento en la boda, le diera apoyo, para poder pasar el momento del despegue, y aún cuando fueran a la casa la acompañara.

El día de la boda de su hija, sé, estoy segura, el caballero disfrutará de la boda, bailará, compartirá, porque un día cuando menos lo esperaba, en el lugar que menos esperaba, con una dama desconocida y un amigo, la Vida le exigió trabajar sus emociones. Él y su ser interno trabajaron, lidiaron, hasta llegar a la paz, que le permitirá en su crecimiento, aceptar el camino y seguir disfrutando del regalo que nos ofrece desarrollar nuestra salud emocional.
Fuí testigo de cómo mi madre, al llegar de la boda, se movía, sacando fuerzas de donde ya no quedaban más, para mostrar fortaleza delante de los que quedábamos aún en la casa. Y buscando, como quien diría, la sombra de la hija ausente recién casada.

The mighty avocado: 10 recipes featuring this miracle fruit

This incredible fruit boasts a wealth of nutritional benefits. If you've been avoiding avocados because of the cost, we will show you just why you should consider avocados an investment in your health.

By: Jaymi Heimbuch

Avocados are good for you in their own right, but they also boost the benefit of certain other foods. (Photo: mama_mia/Shutterstock)

Avocados are full of surprises. For instance did you know that an avocado is not only a fruit, but it is a berry? Yep, technically it’s a big berry, but like tomatoes it is used as a vegetable in the kitchen. Whether you’re calling it a fruit or vegetable is beside the point. The real point is avocados are extremely good for you.

 

Avocados are known for being high in fat. About 85 percent of the avocado’s calories are indeed from fat, but this fruit has fat you want to consume. Avocado oil falls into the category of “good fat” because it is rich in phytosterols and polyhydroxylated fatty alcohols (PFAs) that support the inflammatory system and lower the risk of illnesses caused by inflammation, such as arthritis. Avocado fat is also high in oleic acid, which helps our bodies absorb nutrients like carotenoids. So, you can even get more nutrients out of your other foods by adding avocado. For instance, lycopene and beta-carotene found in many vegetables are absorbed more readily by your body when combined with avocado’s healthy fat, so adding avocado to your salads is an excellent idea. Avocados themselves are rich in carotenoids, including beta-carotene, alpha-carotene and lutein among many others.

 

Avocados boast high levels of vitamin B-6 and folic acid, both of which help support a healthy heart. The beta-sitosterol compound found in avocados helps lower blood cholesterol, and raise good cholesterol. They’re also rich in potassium — in fact they’re a better source of potassium than bananas — which helps control blood pressure. And, the fruit is low in carbohydrates and low in sugar, but high in dietary fibers, which means it's great for regulating blood sugar levels.

 

We can't forget how great avocados are for our skin. The mono saturated fats help keep skin moisturized, and the omega-9 fats reduce skin redness and irritation. The vitamin E found in it guards against sun damage and the vitamin C helps protect against wrinkles. While a healthy heart is a higher priority, it doesn’t hurt to have healthy, amazing looking skin as well!

 

When selecting an avocado, make sure there are no cracks or spots where the skin is separated from the flesh. When you press very gently on the avocado, the flesh under the skin should feel firm but with a slight give in softness to indicate the perfect ripeness. If it is completely firm, it is underripe, and if it is noticeably soft, it is overripe. Avocados can be ripened at home by placing them in a paper bag. If you add a banana or an apple to the bag, the fruit will ripen faster thanks to the gasses put out by the other ripening fruits.

 

 

Avocado and Chickpea Salad Sandwiches

These little open-face sandwiches are a perfect snack for kids and adults alike. Whether it is for a quick lunch, an appetizer before dinner, or an after-school snack, this avocado chickpea salad has a mild, satisfying flavor and a great texture. You also have the freedom to top them with all sorts of different ingredients from tomatoes and jalapenos to chopped herbs to a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. Let your creativity take over.

 

Spicy Mango Avocado Salad

For something a little more bold, you can go for this flavorful salad. Topped with a fantastic cilantro lime dressing, the mango and avocado complement each other perfectly. It is quick to put together yet makes for an exotic blend of flavors. It's perfect for lunches or even a side dish for a fancy dinner party.

 

Stuffed Avocado Salad

One of my favorite ways to eat an avocado is taking out the pit and filling the well with a rich salad such as curry chicken or classic tuna salad. Another option is to stuff the avocado with avocado salad. And why not? After all the avocado is really the point! This dish uses the avocado flesh along with a hefty dose of citrus dressing, then puts the salad back into the emptied shells to use as a bowl. You could also just make up the salad and serve it in, you know, a real bowl. But the novelty of using the avocado shells for plating is kind of fun.

 

Orange and Avocado Salad

Another salad option that takes a citrus twist is this quick and easy dish. A mustard vinaigrette dressing coats the mixed greens, grapes, avocado and slices of orange. It's a whole lot of yum in a single bowl, and also boasts extra nutrients from the greens and citrus for a winningly healthful meal.

 

 

Avocado Gazpacho Soup

For a refreshing soup on a warm day, go a step beyond just plain old gazpacho and try avocado gazpacho! This chilled soup uses the typical ingredients of a tomato gazpacho but adds in the creaminess of avocado. And let's not forget all that added nutrition too! This is ideal for a hot summer day at the height of tomato season. The flavor is mind-blowing.

 

Avocado Cucumber Soup

Another take on an avocado soup uses cool cucumber to compliment the creamy avocado. A little zip is brought to the bowl by jalepeño and cilantro, along with lemon and lime juice. It's almost like a delightful salsa that you can just spoon into your mouth without needing any chips!

 

Corn and Avocado Salsa

But speaking of salsa, you'll want to try out this recipe. Sweet corn and buttery avocado combine for a perfect compliment to fresh corn chips. It's a summer salsa you don't want to pass up, and it's a great addition to the appetizer table next to the guacamole.

 

 

Chocolate Avocado Pudding

Don't forget: avocados are also ideal for desserts! Especially chocolate desserts. This decadent chocolate pudding is just one example. The health benefits from cocoa and avocado make this dessert not only delicious but a nutritional powerhouse. It's probably the best pudding you'll ever taste, and the healthiest. Top it with nuts for even more healthy fats and vitamins. It also pairs well with sliced fruits.

 

No-Bake Mini Double Chocolate Tortes with Pecan Crust

If you want to impress folks at a dinner party, serve them this at the end of the meal. It's like fudge, right from the freezer. It starts out cold then melts in your mouth, and the fudge-y filling is paired with a sweet pecan crust. A tiny slice is more than enough since this is a wonderfully rich dessert. And none of your guests will detect the health benefits hidden within.

 

Avocado and Coconut Popsicles

For a lighter summer dessert, try these unique popsicles. Sweet, but less so than your average pop, this dessert is perfect for people who want a mild but satisfying treat. They're perfect for kids too, since they have a lower sugar content than most pops and plenty of healthy fat and nutrients. And since you only need five ingredients to make them, they're an easy treat to make!

Microwave Test – An Eye Opener

Jade Small | June 22, 2014 | News | No Comments

Below is a Science fair project presented by a girl in a secondary school in Sussex. In it she took filtered water and divided it into two parts.

The first part she heated to boiling in a pan on the stove, and the second part she heated to boiling in a microwave.

Then after cooling she used the water to water two identical plants to see if there would be any difference in the growth between the normal boiled water and the water boiled in a microwave.

She was thinking that the structure or energy of the water may be compromised by microwave.

As it turned out, even she was amazed at the difference, after the experiment which was repeated by her class mates a number of times and had the same result.

It has been known for some years that the problem with microwaved anything is not the radiation people used to worry about, it’s how it corrupts the DNA in the food so the body can not recognize it.

Microwaves don’t work different ways on different substances. Whatever you put into the microwave suffers the same destructive process. Microwaves agitate the molecules to move faster and faster. This movement causes friction which denatures the original make-up of the substance. It results in destroyed vitamins, minerals, proteins and generates the new stuff called radiolytic compounds, things that are not found in nature.

So the body wraps it in fat cells to protect itself from the dead food or it eliminates it fast. Think of all the Mothers heating up milk in these ‘Safe’ appliances. What about the nurse in Canada that warmed up blood for a transfusion patient and accidentally killed him when the blood went in dead. But the makers say it’s safe. But proof is in the pictures of living plants dying!!!

Ten Reasons to dispose off your Microwave Oven
From the conclusions of the Swiss, Russian and German scientific clinical studies, we can no longer ignore the microwave oven sitting in our kitchens. Based on this research, one can conclude this article with the following:

1). Continually eating food processed from a microwave oven causes long term – permanent – brain damage by ‘shorting out’ electrical impulses in the brain [de-polarizing or de-magnetizing the brain tissue].

2). The human body cannot metabolize [break down]the unknown by-products created in microwaved food.

3). Male and female hormone production is shut down and/or altered by continually eating microwaved foods.

4). The effects of microwaved food by-products are residual [long term, permanent]within the human body.

5). Minerals, vitamins, and nutrients of all microwaved food is reduced or altered so that the human body gets little or no benefit, or the human body absorbs altered compounds that cannot be broken down.

6). The minerals in vegetables are altered into cancerous free radicals when cooked in microwave ovens.

7). Microwaved foods cause stomach and intestinal cancerous growths [tumours]. This may explain the rapidly increased rate of colon cancer in UK and America .

8). The prolonged eating of microwaved foods causes cancerous cells to increase in human blood.

9). Continual ingestion of microwaved food causes immune system deficiencies through lymph gland and blood serum alterations.

10). Eating microwaved food causes loss of memory, concentration, emotional instability, and a decrease of intelligence.
