Unas catas darán a conocer los vinos con denominación de origen de Granada

Escrito por

En Granada, es un hecho, se hace buen vino. Los caldos de la provincia, además de haber obtenido la Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP), han cosechado innumerables premios a nivel nacional e internacional. Pero son en gran medida unos desconocidos del gran público. Por eso, ayer se presentaron las I Jornadas de enología, viticultura y cata de los Vinos de Granada con DOP, una actividad que está organizada conjuntamente por la Universidad de Granada y la Asociación Vinos de Granada.

En el acto -que contó con la presencia de Pedro Espinosa Hidalgo, vicerrector de Calidad Ambiental, Bienestar y Deporte, UGR; Antonio Ríos Guadix, decano de la Facultad de Ciencias, UGR; Francisca González Luján, diputada de Asistencia a Municipios; Francisco Javier Rodríguez Romero, presidente de la Asociación Vinos Granada; Pablo Amate, miembro de la Academia Española de Gastronomía; Dionisio Antonio Carrillo Díaz, enólogo; y Antonio Ruiz Rejón, director del Gabinete Técnico de Caja Rural de Granada- se anunció que del 18 de mayo al 1 de junio, todos los martes y jueves entre las 18:00h y las 20:00h, se impartirán cinco seminarios a cargo de expertos con el objetivo de dar a conocer los vinos de la DOP, sus características y todos los factores que influyen en su producción y comercialización, además de aprender a apreciarlos y catarlos.

Las bodegas que participan con catas activas son Al-Zagal, Pago de Almaraes, Anchurón, Calvente, Cuatro Vientos, Domingo y Quiles, Dominio Buenavista, Fernández Herrero, Los Morenos, Muñana y Vertijana.

Las personas interesadas en participar en las jornadas podrán inscribirse hasta el próximo 17 de mayo en el Decanato de la Facultad de Ciencias. El precio de la matrícula es de 25 euros

La organización explicó que «para mejor disfrutar de los vinos hay que iniciarse en los secretos de la viticultura y de la enología y en los ritos de su degustación». Para ello, hay que analizar los primeros mensajes que se reciben, el color y olor. Después, habrá que «acercarlo a la nariz y a la boca, impregnarnos de la gama de aromas a flores y a frutas, que exhalan los vinos jóvenes, de especias, frutas confitadas, y vainillas, los vinos viejos. De los sabores envolventes, largos cremosos, profundos, de los vinos dulces, que se fusionan en la memoria gustativa con higos pasos, con dátiles encurtidos, orejones bien maduros y hasta regaliz». Todo ese ritual permitirá apreciar sus características organolépticas y su versatilidad para maridar con cualquier comida.

LOS LICENCIADOS Y DIPLOMADOS TIENEN MENOS MIEDO A LA MUERTE QUE LAS PERSONAS CON UN NIVEL MÁS BAJO DE ESTUDIOS

Escrito por

Una investigación realizada en la UGR revela además que las mujeres temen más a la muerte que los hombres y que el mayor o menor miedo a la muerte que presentan tanto padres como madres influye directamente en la percepción que de ella tienen sus hijos.

Las personas con formación universitaria (licenciados y diplomados) tienen menos miedo a la muerte que quienes cuentan con un menor nivel de estudios. Además, las mujeres temen más a la muerte que los hombres, lo que influye directamente en sus hijos, ya que el 76% de los niños que manifiestan tener miedo a la muerte lo hacen porque sus madres evitan más el tema, temen más una muerte prematura y presentan peores estrategias de afrontamiento ante la muerte.

Éstas son algunas de las conclusiones de una investigación, titulada «Educación para la muerte: Estudio sobre la construcción del concepto de muerte en niños de entre 8 y 12 años de edad en el ámbito escolar», realizado en el Departamento de Personalidad, Evaluación y Tratamiento Psicológico de la Universidad de Granada por Claudia Fabiana Siracusa y dirigido por los profesores Francisco Cruz Quintana y Mª Nieves Pérez Marfil.

Para llevar a cabo esta investigación, sus autores trabajaron con una muestra formada por 288 niños escolarizados de entre 8 y 12 años, junto con sus padres, madres y/ o tutores y docentes. Los profesores de la UGR han analizado cómo influyen en la comprensión del concepto de muerte que tienen los niños las actitudes, temores, creencias y estrategias de afrontamiento hacia la misma que sostienen los adultos más cercanos a ellos.

Cambio de mentalidad

Este trabajo ha puesto de manifiesto la necesidad de un cambio de mentalidad en las familias y en los profesores respecto al tema de la muerte y el proceso de fin de vida, ya que es crucial para la salud de los niños y la configuración de su personalidad. Del estudio se desprenden otros muchos datos interesantes, como que todos los niños y niñas (en mayor o menor grado) han tenido experiencias personales relacionadas con la muerte, creen en la vida después de la muerte y muestran preocupación por ella. Además, las niñas creen más en la vida después de la muerte que los niños.

En el caso de los docentes, el 80 % de ellos afirma que la muerte no está contemplada en el currículo escolar. Seis de cada diez reconocieron haber hablado en algún momento de su actividad académica sobre la muerte con sus alumnos, y la mayoría de ellos lo hizo ante el fallecimiento de un familiar del alumno.

A la luz de estos resultados, los científicos de la UGR consideran «fundamental» llevar a cabo una educación para la muerte «como un modo de valorar la vida, acabando con la idea falsa, irreal, que de la muerte transmiten los medios de comunicación y que dote al niño de estrategias y recursos para afrontar de una forma madura las pérdidas que, inevitablemente, se van a presentar en su vida sin que ello venga acompañado de consecuencias leves o graves sobre su salud psicológica y física».

Y es que este trabajo ha revelado que el nivel educativo es un factor protector ante las actitudes negativas como son el miedo y la evitación hacia la muerte. Según explicaron los docentes que participaron en la muestra, «en la actualidad la muerte no es abordada en educación, de manera formal y sistematizada». Su incorporación, según los resultados obtenidos en este trabajo, «sería una forma de proveer a los niños de una perspectiva más cierta e intensa de la vida, y evitaría muchas de las dificultades en la resolución de los procesos de duelo que la persona debe afrontar una vez que es adulto».

Parte de estos resultados serán recopilados y publicados próximamente en un libro.

9 in 10 breastfeeding mothers do not follow a proper diet

Escrito por

About 94 percent of breastfeeding mothers do not follow a proper diet, according to a University of Granada study.

 

The study revealed that 94 percent of nursing mothers did not follow a proper diet, as they did not consume the recommended diary intake of fat, vitamins A, E and iron, and the intake of proteins was too high. The results obtained will serve to enhance breastfeeding mothers’ diet and increase nutritional supply to the newborn.

This study was conducted by Jose Luis Gsmez Llorente, from the Department of Pediatrics of the University of Granada, and coordinated by professor Cristina Campoy Folgoso.

To conduct the study, the researcher collected 100 milk samples from 34 breastfeeding mothers from the provinces of Granada and Almeria. The selected mothers were given a questionnaire on their dietary intake for a period corresponding to the 3 days before the sample taking. The aim was to compare their dietary intake with the recommended diary reference intake, in order to detect deficiencies and enhance babies’ intake of nutrients.

This study revealed some important data. 94 percent of mothers were found to consume a hypocaloric diet, mainly due to low consumption of fats. Conversely, 94 percent followed a diet rich in proteins, and their intake of proteins exceeded DRI. The analysed mothers showed deficiencies in Vitamin A and E; 88 percent of them did not meet DRI of Vitamin A, and 99 percent presented deficient Vitamin E intakes.

The intake of iron was 13.8 mg/day, which means that 94 percent of breastfeeding mothers did not meet DRI. They were found to have a deficient intake of this important micronutrient that is essential for the neurological development of their babies.

Jose Luis Gomez Llorente suggests that «human milk is the ideal method of feeding healthy newborns».

Among other nutrients, human breast milk supplies lipids, «which play a crucial role and contain unsaturated omega-3 and 6 fatty acids (linoleic acid and linolenic acid) and its long-chain derivatives (arachinodic acid (AA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The latter is associated with the development of different functions in the newborn, such as cognitive development (learning) and vision development; it is also associated with protection against allergic diseases and atopy.»

«Breastfeeding mothers can significantly improve the composition of their milk by optimising their diet by following international recommendations,» he notes.

New mothers have a lot on their minds, so eating properly might not be a top priority.

A new study from the University of Granada showed 94% of mothers who had their milk tested were not following a proper diet.

The researchers found the new moms did not consume the recommended diary intake of fat or vitamins A, E and iron, and their intake of proteins was too high.

The researchers collected milk samples from 34 breastfeeding mothers from the provinces of Granada and Almeria in Spain. The mothers were also surveyed about their dietary intake for three days prior to giving a sample of their milk.

The results showed 88% of the women did not get the recommended dose of vitamin A and 99% were deficient in vitamin E. As well, 94% of mothers were not getting their daily recommended intake of iron.

«Breastfeeding mothers can significantly improve the composition of their milk by optimizing their diet by following international recommendations,» researcher Jose Luis Gomez Llorente said in his study.

Andalusian Mothers

The most abundant polyunsaturated fat was unsaturated omega-6 fatty acid. This means 17% to 18% of the overall fatty acids present in the human milk sampled. These percentages found in Andalusian mothers are far higher than those reported in European countries, and they are also higher than those found in other studies conducted in our country. «This could be due» –Gómez-Llorente states– «to the high consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids –present in vegetable oils– in our region, and to a higher intake of fish, in comparison with other European countries.»

As regards fatty acids concentrations in the milk of the women studied, the researcher of the UGR underlines that the most abundant fatty acid was oleic acid –a component of olive oil. This represents 33% to 40% of the total fatty acids present in the human milk sampled, a result which is comparable to that found in other Mediterranean countries.

About 94 percent of breastfeeding mothers do not follow a proper diet, says a new study.

The research conducted by the University of Granada (UG) revealed that nursing mothers did not consume the recommended dairy intake of fat, vitamins A, E and iron, while protein intake was too high.

The results obtained will serve to enhance breastfeeding mothers’ diet and increase nutritional supply to the newborn.

This study was conducted by Jose Luis Gómez Llorente, paediatrician from the UG, and coordinated by Cristina Campoy Folgoso, a professor.

This study revealed some important data that 94 percent of mothers were found to consume a hypocaloric diet, mainly due to low consumption of fats.

Conversely, they followed a diet rich in proteins, and their intake of proteins exceeded Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI).

DRI is a system of nutrition recommendations from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the US National Academy of Sciences, said an UG release.

The analysed mothers showed deficiencies in vitamin A and E; 88 percent of them did not meet DRI of vitamin A, and 99 percent presented deficient vitamin E intakes.

The intake of iron was 13.8 mg/day, which means that 94 percent of breastfeeding mothers did not meet DRI. They were found to have a deficient intake of this important micronutrient that is essential for the neurological development of their babies.
