Rate has more than 40,000 tons of algae and does not know what to do with them. So you will try to monetize them

by

Desperate and without knowing very well what to do, the Tarifa City Council began to transfer Asian algae (Rugulopterix Okamurae) that they were invading their beaches in a landfill near the deputy of the municipality. It was 2019. Since then, 40,000 tons have accumulated and, like They themselves recognized in October“They don’t know what to do.” The landfill begins to stay small and the cost of treating all that huge hill of algae exceeds five million euros. Something that the Cadiz Consistory cannot afford. Therefore, for months, they ask that some administration help them out of that dead end. Without much success, really. But what do so many algae do there? Is it normal? It depends on what we understand as normal: the Rugulopterix Okamurae It is an invasive plant And, therefore, it is not a traditional problem. However, in recent years, its impact has not stopped growing. That is an ecological problem (they reduce the biodiversity of each place they arrive), economic (prevents fishing) and aesthetic (produces damage to tourism). But it is also a waste management problem. Because, when they pile up on the beach, they become urban waste. And accumulate wildly. To put figures, “only in Ceut Antonio Vegara Jiménez said in Newtral. Now they have had an idea. And, tired of passing the ball from one another, the City Council has approved the installation of an experimental bioreactor of a Valencian company (Poplac Development) With the idea of ​​testing if it is viable to convert that mountain of waste into a mountain of money. Money? Well, if we want to be precise, it would be in a “mountain” of biogas, electricity and fertilizers. But yes, in general terms, it is about testing if the “public-private collaboration” can give an exit to all that biological material that accumulates near the Strait. As explained in the economistthe installation that PLACAC DEVELOPMENT prepares could generate a megavatio room for every 15,000 tons. And, in addition, produce fertilizers for agricultural use. And will it work? Well that is the big doubt. From what we know, there are already projects like this in Mexico and it seems that the results are good. But the sector is very incipient and regulation is very different in Europe. However, there is something clear: something must be done. The invasive species They are the order of the day And if we do not look for solutions, we will have many more problems than a landfill with 40,000 tons of algae rotting.

illegal gold mining

by

2025 is being a disastrous year for coffee lovers And also of chocolate. The two products have lived a Price climbing almost unprecedented in recent months due to Common problems as the difficulties in the supply chain due to transport and bad harvests for weather. But if we put the magnifying glass on cocoa, we must talk about another problem that threatens the industry and that will cause huge increases in the price of chocolate. And that problem is illegal gold mining, a new “gold fever” that is being lived in the main cocoa producing countries. Galamsey. Ghana is the second country that produces the most cocoa. The first is Ivory Coast, but although cocoa continues to move millions, there is something that attracts attention: only the last year, Ghana lost 20% of its total cocoa production. As we say, this joined bad harvests for diseases in plants and climate change, but the result is the same: a crisis in the price of chocolate. The theory tells us that, if cocoa is worth more, farmers should be benefiting (especially with a cocoa that surpassed The $ 10,000 per ton in the New York Stock Exchange), right? Well, the truth is that it is not so simple and, in addition, these farmers have seen a more profitable business: underbound gold. So much that there are many that are going on to that practice that already has a name: Galamsey. Corruption. This is how farmers are spreading for a new gold fever that is much more lucrative than cocoa consumption. The motivation is that the price of gold is rising, but the big problem is that, as we said, it is an illegal mining, in which the land is exploited without regulation and without measure. In Financial Times We can see how there are dramatic cases of farmers who, after working for years in foreign lands, gathered enough money to rent their own land and start a cocoa plantation. When he arrived to start working the land, he realized that he had been invaded by illegal miners, leaving the land totally unusable. From the government it has promised to harden the fight against this galamsey, but there is a problem: a system in which institutional corruption is deeply Enquistada and that it will make it complicated that you fight against something so lucrative. ECOCIDIDE. The problem goes beyond crops, since professionals from other sectors are abandoning their jobs in search of gold. Kwabena Samuel was a carpenter until she became illegal miner, stating that it was not easy to leave her profession for this, but that it was “a matter of survival.” Apart from the social consequences, this illegal mining is damaging the earth. Different associations and organizations have denounced that the miners devastate extensive cultivation areas with heavy machinery and that once they reach a farm, both the earth and the water sources are useless due to the intensive use of chemical products. Last year, the state water supply company cut Up to 75% distribution in certain areas due to unsustainable levels of contamination. Illegal gold mining is not exclusive to Africa. So are some areas of Peru From Ghana to the chocolate tablet. And the production drop is already palpating. In the United States and during the last year, chocolate in retailers increase 10% its price. It is something that is being felt throughout the world (The Christmas nougat already experienced it). And manufacturers like Lindt (which had already increased its price more than 6.3% at the end of 2024) or Nestlé have already warned that the price will continue to rise for 2025. Ivory coast, heat that you go out. Something that makes this an even more serious problem than is already (both economic and pollution) is that it does not directly concern Ghana. Ivory coast is also threatened by this illegal gold mining and there are already estimates that suggest that, in the face of 2050, more than 50% of cocoa culture lands could be lost in the country due to that mining, diseases in plantations and climate change. Chrysistunity. And where there is a crisis, an opportunity also opens. In this case, who can get something good from the problem is Ecuador. The estimates They suggest that the Latin American country would advance Ghana on the right as the second largest cocoa producer. It would not be something in the long term, but in the future as immediate as 2027, causing Ecuador to become an even bigger player in the cocoa world and joining strength with its powerful coffee industry. Only time will say what to do, but, although it is true that fighting climate change is difficult If we do not agreefighting illegal gold mining should be easier. The problem is that it is tremendously lucrative and that, as these reports point out, at the time there are higher political interests, the task is complicated. And all that is going to translate into shortage, more expensive chocolate and land contaminated by decades.

Cosmologists are increasingly clear where the most energy particles in the universe come from

by

Cosmic radiation bathes our solar system, and therefore also our planet, from the moment in which it was formed from A gigantic cloud of gas and dust does more than 4.5 billion years. During most of our history we have not been aware of its existence, so to find the first scientist who told us about the presence of a form of radiation that had to proceed from the outer space we must go back to 1912. The Austrian physicist Victor Franz HESS was the first to identify the origin of a form of radiation whose intensity increases with altitude and its abundance varies with latitude. To carry out his experiments he used probe balloons inside whose measurement devices expressly designed to measure the radiation present in the atmosphere. His valuable scientific findings were rewarded with several awards, among which is the Nobel Prize in Physics, which he shared with the American physicist Carl David Anderson in 1936. Many other scientists continued HESS’s research, and thanks to all of them we know today a little better A radiation form that transports to our planet very valuable information about the universe to which we belong. Kilonovas seem to be responsible for the most energy radiation Cosmic radiation is constituted by high -energy ionized atomic nuclei that move through space at a speed very close to that of light (which is approximately 300,000 km/s). That they are ionized indicates that they have acquired electric charge because they have been stripped of their electrons, but these atomic nuclei are made of the same matter that constitutes us and everything that surrounds us, a quality that reveals to some extent their origin. One of the most important characteristics of cosmic radiation is its essentially perfect isotropy. This parameter reflects that the rays arrive from all directions with the same frequency, which indicates that they must coexist simultaneously numerous sources capable of generating them. And this invites us to ask ourselves one more question: where cosmic radiation comes from. A good part of the cosmic rays we receive comes from outside our solar system. Of other stars An important part of the radiation that permeates the atmosphere of our planet comes from the sun, which, as we all know, is the closest star. However, it is not at all the only source of external radiation that reaches the earth. A good part of the cosmic rays we receive comes from outside our solar system. Of other stars. And travel through space with enormous energy until impacting with the atoms present in the upper layers of the atmosphere of our planet. What astrophysics did not know with certainty until very recently was the nature of the source that originates the most energy particles that we can find in the universe. But researchers from the University of New York have published a scientific study in Physical Review Letters in which they argue that this form of radiation proceeds with a high probability of kilonovaswhich are nothing other than the clash and fusion of two neutron stars to give rise to the formation of a black hole. “After six decades of effort it is likely that we have identified the origin of the mysterious most energy particles in the universe. This discovery provides a new tool to understand the most aggressive events of the universe: the fusion of two neutron stars to form a black hole, the process responsible for the creation of many precious and exotic elements, such as, for example, gold, platinum, uranium, iodine or xenon. Gennys R. Farrar points outPhysics professor and one of the people who sign the study. When they are close enough, gravity takes control and the two neutron stars are condemned to collide Neutron stars are not always lonely. Sometimes one of them is part of a binary system next to a “living” star, and if the appropriate conditions are given, the latter can also become a neutron star. In this scenario the binary system ends up being constituted by Two neutron stars that turn around the other. As time goes by, angular momentum is being lost, which causes their orbits to narrow and approach more and more. And when they are close enough, gravity takes control and the two neutron stars are condemned to collide. The main contribution made by Farrar and their research partners is their defense of the existence of a very close relationship between the energy of the most intense cosmic rays and their electric charge. Their conclusions have to be experimentally endorsed, but they represent a breath of fresh air in a field in which it is not easy to elaborate new knowledge.

IMU have arrived to change everything

by

Electronics has become an essential in the automobile world. THE ADAS are mandatory And, for better or worse, driving is increasingly intrusive. In the world of motorcycle, things are different. Today, it is only mandatory that they have ABS. It is not even necessary that they incorporate traction control. However, there is an inherited technology of aeronautics and space exploration. If you are thinking of buying a new motorcycle you may have heard of the “Imu”. A solution that is everywhere and whose operation may not be clear. What is an Imu. The IMU or inertial measurement unit (IMU) is one of the key components in the security and electronic control systems of a motorcycle. Its main function is to measure and monitor the movement and position of the vehicle in real time. Being even more concrete, it measures the acceleration in the addresses forward -atrás, above-down and right-left and the angular velocity in the headdresses, balancing and brunette of the motorcycle. Subsequently, This information is calculated and transmitted In real time to the rest of the motorcycle systems to control both the engine and the behavior of the chassis to help the driver. It consists of several elements, such as gyroscopes, accelerometers or even magnetometers- this allows the rest of the elements (Traction control, ABS, inclination sensors), act accordingly. How the IMU works. We already know that IMU is an electronic system that allows you to measure each movement and position of the motorcycle. And now what? After sending this data to the switchboard, the security systems act based on them. One of the main historical problems of motorcycles is the difficulty of managing curve aids. ABS and traction control, acting to a greater extent than desired, are a perfect combination to go to the ground. Thanks to IMUs, ABS can manage braking pressure avoiding curve blockages. The same goes for traction control. The “Antiwheelie” has also brought us, a perfect option to be able to make quick exits without worrying that the motorcycle is shot. If the system detects that the motorcycle is raising the rear wheel, intervenes to regulate the power. Where do Imu come from. The origin of the IMU is most curious. The inertial measurement unit systems began to be implemented in aircraft, spacecraft, and even guided missiles. Knowing the orientation, speed and forces that affected them has always been key, and it is something that takes implementing since the 40s. Although in the 2,000 decade they began to implement on motorcycles, it has not been until the past five years when they have begun to be practically an essential in any motorcycle that wants to lead in technology. From the aircraft to motorcycles. The principles on stability in inertial navigation systems develop more than 100 years ago, and it was not until World War II when they began to be used in military aviation. 20 years later, between 50 and 60, NASA and the aerospace industry began to use them. Despite the changes to adapt it to street vehicles, the origin remains the same: the need for a plane or missile to know where it is and where it goes in real time.

We have filled ourselves with digital superstitions. They are a fright for our productivity

by

There is something inherently human in our desire to find patterns where there are no, to attribute causality to mere coincidence. Centuries ago they danced to rained. We organize ours Notion To be more productive. Same superstition, different ritual. Cal Newport baptized him very well as “productive rain dances“: those activities that we do convinced that our results will improve, but in reality They are mere rituals without much real impact. We spend hours configuring time management applications (guilty), categorizing emails (innocent) or testing methods as if they were magical (guilty) potions. We dance around the bonfire of productivity, hoping that the gods of performance will pity us. Elí, Elí, Lama Sabactani. The interesting thing about these digital superstitions is that, unlike those of our ancestors, they are backed by elegant and metric interfaces that feed our illusion of progress. Three hours reorganizing cloud folders They do not produce real work although they generate a rewarding sense of order. Cleaning notifications constantly does not advance projects, but it gives us small doses of dopamine. And so we build belief systems. “I can only concentrate using this specific application.” “I need my 17 -step morning ritual or the day is lost.” “I have to answer each message at the moment or I am a terrible professional.” The problem of these rituals is not that they are useless (some have a certain value), but that We confuse the medium in order, the activity with the result. In Newport’s words, we are “focused on the activity of the moment instead of the results over time.” And while we execute these dances with devotion, the important projects, which really change our trajectory, remain intact in our slope lists. Pragmatic austerity is needed to break these digital superstitions. Start by asking if this activity produces a measurable result or if it only gives us the illusion of advancing. If we are confusing movement with progress. The most affective rituals are usually the least spectacular: Uninterrupted time blocks, Limitation of notifications and focus on the specific results we want to generate. Maybe it doesn’t hurt to stop dancing to rain and start building aqueducts.

The demographic debacle in Europe, exposed on this map with a misleading guest: Monaco

by

A few days ago we commented that Spain’s demographic engine is gripped. Very few babies are born Every day, they are not enough for the generational relief and, although we are heading to the record of inhabitants, this is thank you to immigration. In addition, more babies are born than 41 -year -old mothers than 25but it is not an exclusive problem from Spain. And, to understand the scope in our most immediate environment, let’s see this graph prepared by Visual Capitalist which shows the fertility rate in Europe: Fertility rate. It is the average number of children that a woman would have throughout her reproductive life (period between 15 and 49 years). It is estimated that 2.1 children per woman is the right rate for generational relief and is a long -term indicator. Bad news: according to UN estimates by 2025, in Europe there is no country that reaches that desired fertility rate. A small green redoubt. Well, there is one: Monaco. The problem is that it is not something that is important in a Europe that has a very low fertility rate because its population is extremely small (only 39,000 residents) and any change in the indicator that is significantly alters the measurements. The economy is not a problem in Monaco. Montenegro with 1.8 and Romania with 1.7 are the ones that complete the podium. In the lower part, we have Ukraine (which, due to their situation, is not representative) and countries such as Malta or Andorra with a rate of 1.1. Spain, next to Italy, San Marino or Lithuania, is also closer to the well than to see the light due to a rate of 1.2. Decay. There are already those who said that The true challenge of the 21st century It would be the demographic because, although by 2080 we will be 2.3 billion more people On the planet, not all territories will grow homogeneously. In the European case, there are a number of issues that have formed the perfect cocktail so that both birth rates (births per 1,000 inhabitants) and fertility have collapsed in recent years. The Independence age has increased These last two decades, standing above 30 years on average in the Spanish case. The rental price for the clouds prevents assets from saving or raising a child. And this, together with cultural factors, has caused the downturn of the fertility rate. A few decades ago, in fact, worldwide It was five children per woman. Today we settle for the aforementioned 2.1. Immigration. That this generational relay does not occur has a multitude of implications, two of the most visible being the impossibility of maintaining systems such as pension and the lack of labor personnel. Now, something that can make the renovation rate immigration. In the Spanish case, four out of ten jobs From January to June 2024 they were covered by an immigrant, but in birth, immigration also has a positive impact. In 2021, almost a third of babies born in Spain, 32.4%, He had at least one foreign father or mother. With the magnifying glass in hand, 42% were of Latin American origin, 28% African, 22% European and 7% Asian. Now, something that has been observed is that fertility rates of immigrant mothers tend to line with that of the local population. World problem. As we say, beyond in Europe, demography is A problem in many countries. But although in this article we have put the focus on the countries of our environment because the representation of the Visual Capitalist map is very clear, if we look at the East, the situation is devastating. South Korea either Japan They have suffered a demographic debacle. China, more of the same, and although the three countries have launched many Measures to stop that depopulationsomething they have in common is the intention of reactivating their population thanks to the immigrant labor. Either in the field… either hiring babysitters so that fathers and mothers can get to work. Returning to Europe, what all graphics and measurements indicate is that it is not a passing problem, but a long -term challenge with very deep implications. In Asia there are countries that seem trace with some proposalsbut it is something that will be seen in the medium and long term.

We have a problem with the future of cement and excess plastic. Someone has come up with the most obvious

by

Mortar is easy. We have been doing thousands of years and, although we have refined the formula so that it is not the same as They used 10,000 years ago in Jericho or in the construction of First pyramids of Egyptthe recipe is simple. A part of cement (or an binder in antiquity), one of water and three of sand. With that, we have a mixture that carries millennia serving perfectly. But, although we have been polishing the formula with best materialsthe mortar has several problems, and the researchers at the University of Newcastle have proposed solve them. As? With an ecological mortar that adds plastic to the dough. Sand at the point of view. The use of sand is Key for mortar production. Also for concrete, this being a material that we have been trying to withdraw thanks to alternatives They appear from time to time. And the reason to use sand is a problem is because We are exhausting reservations World Cups of this material. In addition, make mortar, cement and concrete It is very polluting. HE esteem That the cement industry is responsible for approximately 5% of CO₂ global emissions and, this being a fundamental component of the mortar and concrete, the more we reduce its use, the better. Extracting sand can also cause ecological damage In rivers and beaches, as well as health risks due to particle inhalation, for example. Ecological mortar. It is there where research to create green concrete or the one we mention from the University of Newcastle comes into play. In his studyThe team details how thanks to Aergel Silica and recycled plastic they have created a new mortar that manages to be respectful of the environment. The team developed different mixtures by adding more or less substitute for the sand and found that the most effective is the one with 7% of silica aerogels and 3% of PET plastic. White is the silica aerogel. THE GRAY THE PET Plastic Rescue plastic. But … effective in what? Well, curiously, this new mortar comes to solve several problems of conventional sand. The first thing that highlights is that the new mixture of mortar is able to reduce the loss of heat from a structure by up to 55% if compared to the conventional mortar. This helps both to cool a stay in summer and to retain heat in cold months. This occurs because conventional mortar is a bad thermal insulator, allowing heat to escape easily. But not only this: the new mortar is also lighter than the conventional one, which implies a lower cost in transport by associated fuel savings. Thermal conductivity tests of this ecological mortar. We need to try it in the real world … 2×1. Apart from contributing to a construction more efficient at the energy level, this plastic -based mortar Solve another problem directly. PET plastic particles used come from crushed plastic waste (bottles, mainly), so the massive use in mortar can help reduce that contamination of plastics that brings us head. Tests are missing. The team explains that they have achieved British standards for the construction of this new mortar and are already working on the following big step: finding collaborators as a construction company to request financing and build a house with the ecological mortar. It is what will allow them to obtain the direct evidence of that potential energy savings, something that until they put into practice in a large -scale real environment, it remains only in the theory. But well, while we wait to see if they get that opportunity, the truth is that it is striking how researchers from the whole globe are committed to Jubilate cement, mortar and concrete. Another thing is that the new more ecological alternatives are able to compete in costs, which is what would ultimately convince those who raise the buildings.

tricks and checks to solve it if they are heard too low

by

You’re going to call someone and it seems that the sound is not heard well, and Hey the other person very low. Is it a matter of volume or is a mobile problem? We are going to tell you a handful of tricks and checks that you can do on your mobile to try to solve it. These are fast checks that you can do to verify that everything works well, or that there is simply not a poorly activated option. We will start with the ones you can do while you are talkingand then we will give you other advice. Because it is always very frustrated trying to someone and that it seems that you do not hear this other person. With these tests and tricks you can solve small malfunctions and verify that it is not nonsense what is happening. And if then it continues to work badly or detect that it is a problem of any of the components, then you can think to send it to the technical service to repair it. What can you do while you’re talking We will start telling you several checks that You can do while you are on the call without having to hang the other person. They are quite fast checks, with which to check disasters or that there is something connected in a bad way. Check the volume of the speaker This must be something impulsive that our own inertia leads us to verify. If the volume of a call seems not to be correct, the first thing is Check the volume of the speaker With the physical buttons of your mobile. These side buttons that your mobile has to control the volume They also adjust the sound of the call While you’re talking. Therefore you do not have to hang, simply click on the volume button and look at the screen indicator. If I was very low and now it sounds good, you know that it was the problem. Check where the sound comes from When you make a call and you have connected bluetooth headphones, the sound goes through these headphones. And when you have nothing connected, you can make the call normal or with hands free. Therefore, the second to check is Where is the sound coming out In that call you are making right now. You can do this while you call. On an iPhone and on some Android, on the same phone application screen while llamas you can have a button to check or change the audio output. And if not, you can go to the Bluetooth settings and see if the headset is connected and that’s why you hear anything by the speaker. These are honest errors that have ever happened to us all. When we already know that this problem is a possibility we do it at the moment, but when we do not know you can have a few seconds of chaos. Look if you cover unintentionally the speaker or headset If these problems are having them since you have bought a new mobile case, Take the device out of it and check if the volume improves. If so, it may be that this cover is covering the audio output. You can do it even while you are in the call. It may also be that you are holding the mobile so that you are also covering the speaker or the microphone of your mobile. Distinguish where these slots are and be aware of how you have the mobile while you make the call. What to look at when you are not in a call Now, we are going to a few other checks that you can make When you are no longer in a call. They are also quick checks to verify that it is not an internal error of your phone. Restart your mobile Turn off and turn on, one of the universal resources to repair specific errors in operating systems and applications. Because if it is a punctual error, when restarting the mobile, the entire operating system will return to zero again, and it is possible that this error is not repeated. In the event that when you restart your mobile and make another call you realize that it continues to listen badly, at least you will know that it is not something punctual but an error that is being repeated. Check that there is no dirt Just as we have told you before you look if you are covering the headset while calling, now that you are not calling you can see if the speaker or headset It has dirt that is obstructing it. This dirt may appear due to the normal use of the device. Simply observe where the microphone and speaker slots are, and check that there is no dirt obstructing them. In the event that there is, proceed to clean them carefully. You can also Use a video that reproduces sounds on different frequencies designed to clear the water or dirt headset. Look for operating system updates And finally, if it seems to be a persistent error that is not solved with any of the aforementioned points, before taking it to the technical service you can Check if there is any operating system update of your mobile phone. When a manufacturer detects errors that are repeated on several devices, which can be failures in the operating system or in the hardware, they always try to patch them and apply solutions through system updates. That is why it is important to keep the mobile always updated, because if that failure you have in the call app is common, then they will apply a solution, In Xataka Basics | How to clean your in-oaric headphones or intrauricular in a safe and economical way

We talked to the Spaniards who have tried the Russian mountain of Ozempic

by

After the media explosion of the so -called “medicines for diabetes that lose weight”, we have spoken with three people who carry approximately One year using semaglutida, the active substance of Ozempic and Wegovy (The brand launched by the Ozempic manufacturer for the general public), in order to know your real experience beyond noise. From 160 to 105 kilos: “It has been a change of life” Pilar, Alicantina, 65, began her treatment with Ozempic over a year by medical prescription. “I have a fairly considerable weight, I reached 160 kilos during the pandemic. My knees hurt, I went to the doctor and the endocrine advised me to try with Ozempic“He explains. The result was overwhelming: 55 kilos less in a year. “I lost a lot of weight, I had some times dizziness and that, but nothing out of the ordinary,” he says. After a year of treatment, Pilar left it and recovered 20 kilos, until reaching the current 125. Recently he tried to resume the treatment, but he has encountered two problems: on the one hand, “he has not sat as well as the first time”; On the other, “Ozempic is very scarce, the pharmacy does not give it to you.” Then we will go with the matter of shortages. Pilar points out that the drug radically changed its relationship with food: “When you take Ozempic you don’t have that anxiety you have when you don’t take it. It takes away the desire to eat sweets especially and processed products.” Jorge, 38 -year -old Andalusian, has been using Wegovy for months (the specific version for the weight control of the semaglutida) by private route. With a height of 1.79 cm, its initial weight was 95 kilos. It is currently at 85.7. “I started taking it because due to an injury I won in a period of three or four months about 12 kilos,” he explains. “To play sports again and be in a physical state similar to the one before the injury, the first thing I had to do was lose all that weight.” Unlike Pilar, who received his medicine for social security, Jorge agreed to him through a private specialist: “He made me analysis to verify that everything was in order, and we started with a dose of 0.25 mg, the pen of 0.25”. Its monthly cost is around 180-190 euros. Wegovy pen shown by Jorge. Ceded image. The side effects soon appeared: “I started noticing in the first food intake. I click the dose at 8 in the morning and already at noon food I noticed that it was hard for me to eat.” Jorge describes a constant feeling of satiety and even some rejection of food: “Meals with a lot of fat, with a lot of sugar, sauces, heavy carbohydrates … They were meals that did not feel well.” Clara, 36 years old and resident in Madrid, began using Ozempic thirteen months after several failed attempts with traditional diets. “I tried everything: oto, intermittent fastingcounting calories … I lost 3 or 4 kilos at most and then recovered them with interest, “he says. Starting from 87 kilos, he has managed to go down to 69. “The first month was a bit hard for the nausea, but then I got used to And now I barely have side effects, just some occasional constipation, “he explains. Unlike Jorge and Pilar, Clara obtained the medicine by an alternative route. “A diabetic relative gave me a pen to try and then I got the recipe through a doctor friend,” he admits. “I know it’s not right, but I was desperate.” For her, The most shocking thing has been the change in their eating habits: “It is as if someone had turned off a switch in my brain. I no longer constantly think of food, or obsess myself with chocolate or fried potatoes.” The expert’s voice: beyond the “insulin that thinns” The Dr. Alicia Taboadasubspecialized family doctor in cardiovascular risk and endocrinological diseases, clarifies: “Ozempic is not an insulin, as many people think.
