La cebada es un cereal altamente recomendable, dada sus excelentes propiedades terapéuticas y nutricionales, sobretodo en primavera-verano ya que nutre, relaja y refresca el hígado y la vesícula biliar. Se ha de incluir la lista de cereales de uso regular aunque a menudo es "la gran omitida". Con esto quiero decir que se suele ensalzar los beneficios del arroz, por ser el cereal más equilibrado, del mijo por su gran aporte energético o de la quinoa (aunque no sea un cereal) por su ligereza y digestibilidad, pero se suele a menudo olvidar la cebada. Vamos a ver que la cebada nada tiene que envidiar a las características citadas.

Kraft Macaroni and Cheese
Published on Mar 5, 2013
SIGN THIS PETITION NOW: http://change.org/kraftyellow Hi - This is Lisa Leake from http://100daysofrealfood.com and Vani Hari from http://foodbabe.com
We recently discovered that several American food products contain harmful additives that are not used -- and in some cases banned -- in other countries. One of those products is an iconic staple that almost every American, us included, has had at one time or another: Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.
Kraft Macaroni and Cheese in the US contains the artificial food dyes Yellow 5 and Yellow 6. These dyes are not in Kraft Macaroni and Cheese in other countries, including the UK, because they are considered harmful overseas and were removed due to consumer outcry. It's time we demand the same here in the US!
We are petitioning Kraft to remove all artificial food dyes from their line of macaroni and cheese products.
Kraft, which is an American company by the way, has already removed this unnecessary - yet potentially harmful - additive from their products overseas but still serves it up to their fellow Americans. Here are the reasons we are asking Kraft to remove Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 from their entire line of Macaroni and Cheese:
Artificial food dyes...
- Are man-made in a lab with chemicals derived from petroleum (a crude oil product, which also happens to be used in gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt, and tar).
- Require a warning label in other countries outside the US.
- Have been banned in countries like Norway and Austria (and are being phased out in the UK).
- Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 specifically are contaminated with known carcinogens (a.k.a. an agent directly involved in causing cancer).
- Cause an increase in hyperactivity in children.
- Have a negative impact on children's ability to learn.
- Have been linked to long-term health problems such as asthma, skin rashes, and migraines.
- Add absolutely no value to the foods we are eating and are used solely for aesthetic purposes.
- To prove this last point we personally tested both the US and UK versions of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and found little difference in color and virtually no difference in taste (see for yourself in the video below).
So please...
1. Go to our petition page and sign your name - http://change.org/kraftyellow
2. Share our petition with your family and friends
We both grew up eating this product - Lisa used to feed it to her kids years ago - and it's available at almost every grocery store across the country. Our kids deserve the same as our friends overseas!
Kraft Foods is the largest food company headquartered in the United States. If Kraft changes their Macaroni and Cheese, we know this could inspire other food companies across the US to finally eliminate dangerous artificial food dyes once and for all.
Join us and demand this change by signing this petition now.
Thank you for all your support - together we can make a difference.

Cuidar el peso: comer bien, hacer ejercicio, mover el cuerpecitoENSALADA DE TOMATE Y ATÚN
Ingredientes
250 g de atún fresco
4 tomates
3 cebollas tiernas
50 g de alcaparras
½ diente de ajo
1 limón
Vinagre
Aceite de oliva virgen extra
Pimienta negra
Sal
Instrucciones
Ponemos abundante agua a hervir en una olla. Cuando rompe el hervor, ponemos los tomates a los que hemos hecho un corte en forma de cruz en la base.
Los dejamos diez segundos, los retiramos y los ponemos en un bol con agua fría. De esta manera será muy fácil pelarlos.
En el mismo agua hirviendo, ponemos el atún salpimentado y apagamos el fuego. Lo dejamos así cinco minutos.
Cortamos la cebolla en juliana y la ponemos en un bol. Añadimos un buen chorro de vinagre y la empapamos bien para que pierda fuerza. La dejamos así unos minutos.
Cortamos los tomates en cubos y los ponemos en la ensaladera. Añadimos la cebolla escurrida, las alcaparras, el atún desmigado, el perejil picado, la ralladura de la piel del limón y su zumo, un buen chorro de aceite de oliva, pimienta molida y sal. Lo mezclamos todo bien y listo.
Tiempo de preparación: 20 minuto(s)
