누나, 이번 주에 할머니 팔순 생신인데, 선물 뭐 사드리면 좋을까?
姐姐, 这周是奶奶的八十大寿, 买点儿什么礼物好呢? 

얼마 전에 할머니가 침대 필요하다고 하셨어.
前几天奶奶跟我说需要一张床。

그럼 우리 돈 모아서 침대 사드리자.
那我们攒钱给她买张床吧。 

그래, 할머니 피부 알레르기가 있으니까, 편백나무 침대로 사드리자.
好, 她的皮肤有点儿过敏, 我们买张扁柏木床吧。

22. Supersticiones del mundo (Parte 1)

In recent years, we have been encouraged to reduce the amount of meat we eat — for health reasons and to help protect the environment.

Red meat, in particular, has been shown to increase the risk of some health problems, while the farming of cows for food has a negative impact on the planet.

And these days, restaurants around the world that have traditionally focused on meat-based meals, including places like McDonald's and KFC, have begun to add more plant-based choices to their menus.

But the question some people are asking is: Can I eat less meat and still be healthy?

According to 2022 research, the answer could be "yes."

Researchers in Italy and Spain compared studies on the health benefits of animal proteins and plant-based or vegetable proteins.

We all need protein in our diets, wherever it comes from.

Plant-based or vegetable proteins include things like chickpeas, beans and nuts, as well as broccoli, kale and tofu.

And the study found that vegetable proteins can reduce the risk of things like heart disease and strokes, compared to animal proteins.

The researchers said that animal and vegetable proteins had similar effects on muscle and bone health.

However, they did find that vegetable or plant-based proteins might not give quite enough vitamin B12, although they were not able to explain why the two proteins have different effects on the body.

The researchers added that the lower environmental impact of plant-based proteins was too important to forget.

The health of the planet, they said, cannot be separated from the health of our bodies.

LA BANDERA DE MÉXICO.

En 1821 Agustín de Iturbide se inspiró en dar garantías a los mexicanos declarando la Independencia de México, es entonces cuando nace nuestra Bandera. 

En la declaración del plan de Iguala, Iturbide llevaba la bandera trigarante (verde, blanca y rojo), pero en franjas diagonales. Los colores de la bandera garantizaban algunos derechos: el blanco representaba la religión católica; el verde representaba la independencia de México ante España y el rojo la igualdad y la unión de los mexicanos con los españoles y las castas.

Al finalizar el Imperio de Agustín de Iturbide en 1823, el Congreso Constituyente instauró oficialmente la Bandera Nacional conservando los colores verde, blanco y rojo, pero con algunos cambios: al águila se le quitó la corona imperial y se agregaron los símbolos republicanos de las ramas de laurel y encino.

A mediados del siglo XIX, con la llegada de Benito Juárez a la presidencia del país, se cambió el significado de sus colores , como consecuencia de la separación del estado con la iglesia: Verde: Esperanza; Blanco: Unidad y Rojo: la sangre de los héroes nacionales.

Y es así que el 24 de febrero de 1984 entró en vigencia la nueva Ley sobre el Escudo, la Bandera y el Himno Nacionales, en la que se establece: 

ARTÍCULO 3o.- La Bandera Nacional consiste en un rectángulo dividido en tres franjas verticales de medidas idénticas, con los colores en el siguiente orden a partir del asta: verde, blanco y rojo. En la franja blanca y al centro, tiene el Escudo Nacional, con un diámetro de tres cuartas partes del ancho de dicha franja. La proporción entre anchura y longitud de la bandera, es de cuatro a siete. Podrá llevar un lazo o corbata de los mismos colores, al pie de la moharra. Un modelo de la Bandera Nacional, autenticado por los tres poderes de la Unión, permanecerá depositado en el Archivo General de la Nación y otro en el Museo Nacional de Historia.
