It is spicy, acidic, and has been on the Korean table for centuries. But kimchi has something more. Science studies its effects on the microbiota, obesity, and cardiovascular health. Here we explain what happens when we eat it and why it can be good for us.
With an increasingly reduced vision, Diana Camacho’s work poses a paradox: dedicating herself to the visual arts when the eyes do not necessarily deliver a complete image of what is in front of her. At 52 years old, the artist shares how she learned to create from fragments, memories, and other senses.
Estrogens protect the heart, but with menopause, that advantage diminishes and women’s risk of heart attack approaches that of men. And there’s something else. As we live longer and longer, we also spend more time in a stage where taking care of the heart becomes key.
Chronicler and essayist. Sometimes a poet, sometimes an editor, university professor, and rock musician. Also part of Paula’s history, where he was a columnist. All these things are Roberto Merino, an author, we could say, in the tradition of great Chilean chroniclers like Joaquín Edwards Bello, widely known for mapping and describing a city like Santiago de Chile. Here, a group of voices invited by Paula recommends his works.
Delicious, light, and with that perfect balance between sweet and citrus. These classic sugar and lemon pancakes are easy to prepare and an ideal alternative to enjoy on a rainy day.
When there is infidelity we usually only think about the pain of the one who was betrayed. But the person writing this story also suffered. She lost her marriage and for years lived trapped in guilt and shame. Until she understood that admitting a mistake does not mean having to pay for it for a lifetime.
When a person migrates, they do so with their studies and experience, but leave behind the contacts and networks they built over the years. Jarka Paprnáková knows this well. Almost two decades ago she arrived in Chile from Slovakia without speaking Spanish. Today, through Valientes con Maleta, she seeks to help other women build the connections that she had to create from scratch.
We tested the Dreame AirStyle Pro-Hi on different hair types to see if this 8-in-1, which dries, straightens, and curls, can compete with the great object of desire in the category.
Eight out of ten people who lead social organizations are women. In addition to working and taking care of their families, they dedicate hours, almost always for free, to solving the problems of their communities. But most are over 60 years old and very few young people want to take over. Who will take care of the neighborhoods when they can no longer do so is a question that is beginning to worry them.
Caring alone, with no one to share the burden, is one of the most repeated experiences in the focus groups that the Colunga Childhood Observatory conducted to build the agenda “Early Childhood: Well-being, gaps, and proposals to strengthen public policy in Chile,” which has just been launched. Public health data confirm what they already knew: the distress after childbirth does not decrease over time, but continues to rise until six months postpartum, just when support networks – both family and institutional – begin to fail. Anonymous women who participated in those focus groups share, in their own words, what no statistic can explain alone.
