Cuanto más tiempo de contacto físico tiene una persona con su pareja (abrazos, besos, cogerse de la mano, tener relaciones sexuales, etc.), más disminuye el nivel de cortisol en sangre, lo cual protege del estrés, incluido el laboral.
When you eat Mexican food, your brain releases endorphins and dopamine. Capsaicin, the compound in chili peppers, binds to pain receptors in your mouth. Your brain reads this as a threat and counters with feel-good chemicals. The burn in a good salsa triggers the same pathway as a runner's high.
This is all happening on top of a food tradition more than 3,000 years in the making. The tortilla in a chicharron taco exists because of nixtamalization, a process Mesoamerican cooks developed roughly 3,200 years ago. Corn kernels are soaked in lime water, which releases niacin, a B vitamin that corn otherwise locks away in an indigestible form. Without this step, corn-heavy diets cause pellagra, a B-vitamin deficiency that killed around 7,000 Americans per year at its peak in the early 20th century. Southern sharecroppers were eating corn without the process Mexico had preserved for three millennia.
In 2010, the UN added Mexican cuisine to its Intangible Cultural Heritage list, the first year any national food culture had ever qualified. The application covered seed preservation, farming customs, ritual preparation, and thousands of years of cooking knowledge passed through communities.
The diversity inside that designation is hard to picture. Mexico has 59 varieties of heirloom corn, more than 60 distinct chili pepper types, and 32 states with cuisines different enough that Oaxacan mole negro (a dark sauce from dried chili and chocolate) and Yucatecan cochinita pibil (slow-roasted pork in a smoky red spice paste) share almost no ingredients. Oaxaca alone has more than 20 types of mole. Mole poblano uses more than 20 ingredients, including several chili varieties, dark chocolate, and cinnamon, in a single sauce.
Chicharron fires three systems at once. Fat carries flavor deep into the palate. The crunch comes from pork skin dried, then dropped in 375-degree oil. The trapped moisture turns to steam, puffs the skin, and produces thousands of flavor compounds through the same browning chemistry that makes coffee and seared meat smell incredible. Then the salsa lands capsaicin on top of everything and the dopamine kicks in.
The "best food ever" reaction has a chemical basis. You are tasting dopamine from capsaicin, browning chemistry from pork fat at high heat, and a tortilla built on a process 3,200 years old. These flavors were engineered to do exactly this.
“They loved each other so fully that even after spending hours together, it never felt like enough. There was always a longing for more conversation, more touch, more presence, more of everything that made them feel close. Time together did not satisfy the feeling, it only deepened it, as if every moment revealed another layer of wanting. Their love was not limited by hours or distance, it kept asking for more of each other, quietly and endlessly.”
Ahora hasta el camarón huachicolean. La producción del camarón en #México está a punto de colapsar e irse a la quiebra por el ingreso de miles de toneladas de camarón ilegal procedente de #Ecuador, un país con quien México no tiene tratados comerciales:
🚨🚨 ALERTA PARA TODOS LOS JÓVENES 🚨
🚨🚨Hoy queremos compartir este video como parte de una campaña de prevención y conciencia social.
Muchas desapariciones comienzan exactamente así:
una oferta de trabajo en internet, una cita aparentemente normal, una promesa de dinero fácil o una oportunidad “perfecta”.
La realidad es que muchos jóvenes salen pensando que regresarán a casa… y ya no vuelven.
Por favor:
No acudan solos a entrevistas en lugares desconocidos.
Verifiquen empresas y perfiles.
Compartan siempre su ubicación con familiares o amigos.
Desconfíen de ofertas demasiado buenas para ser verdad.
No queremos más fichas de búsqueda.
No queremos más madres buscando a sus hijos.
Este video fue realizado por jóvenes estudiantes de periodismo del ITESO, Aarón, Diana, Chelsea y Jesús, que decidieron usar su voz y su talento para prevenir y crear conciencia sobre la realidad que vivimos día con día en nuestro país. Gracias por sumarse a esta lucha desde la prevención.
Compártanlo.
Que llegue a cada escuela, a cada familia y a cada joven.

Most women do not cry over the man. They are crying over themselves, the effort they put in, the hope they had, the delusion they believed, and the reminder that love has not rewarded them.
"Locura"
Porque inventaron una app que ya tiene 22.000 usuarias argentinas donde suben una foto del perfil del hombre con el que van a salir, suben las conversaciones, y una IA los puntúa si son manipuladores, violentos, "love bombers", chances de ghosteo, etc.
Empezó en Buenos Aires hace 8 meses como un proyecto privado entre amigas y hoy tiene 22.000 usuarias.
“Riesgo emocional: 78/100”
“Alta probabilidad de infidelidad”
“Perfil compatible con dependencia afectiva”
“Lenguaje similar a hombres denunciados previamente”
Las usuarias premium pueden incluso conectar el Instagram del tipo y dejar que el modelo analice follows, likes, horarios de actividad y cambios de comportamiento.
La creadora tiene 27 años y estudió psicología en la UBA.
Dice que la idea surgió después de que una amiga terminara internada por violencia de pareja.
Los abogados quieren denunciarla, pero las usuarias la aman, y varios hombres empezaron a pedir screenshots de sus propios análisis antes de aceptar una cita.
La app se llama FirstRedFlag.
Tiene lista de espera.
Psychology says some people avoid socializing not because they hate people, but because they can read them too well. They walk into a room and immediately sense the fake laughs, the hidden agendas, the performances. Their nervous system doesn't misread the signal, it just refuses to ignore it. Small talk feels like a tax they didn't agree to pay. Forced smiles cost them energy that takes hours to recover. They're not broken. They're calibrated differently. They don't avoid people. They avoid emotional labor that leads nowhere. When they do connect, it's deep, intentional, real. No masks. No games. Fewer friends doesn't mean loneliness. It means higher standards. That's not antisocial behavior. That's emotional intelligence.
odio conocer gente más joven que yo porque yo siempre fui la más joven de todos los lugares que habité no me divierte ni un poco por eso hay que juntarse con gente que te doblen en la edad así seguís sintiéndote un adolescente
🚨: Chinese biologist Hongmei Wang seeks to extend women's fertile life by making menstruation occur every 3 months.
Which would theoretically preserve more eggs and extend the fertile period.
Men mistakenly think that a woman's greatest fear is loneliness. You're 100% wrong. Her greatest fear is getting married, having children, becoming a domestic servant, living a boring and miserable life with a worthless husband, and realizing she wasted her time with you. She wants a life filled with purpose, growth, and genuine happiness on her own terms. The real fear is losing herself in a life that was never truly hers to begin with.
I'm not married but my mom once told me that you can marry the right person and still feel stuck. You can have a stable, faithful partner and still feel unfulfilled if you built your whole identity around being someone’s wife instead of being your own person first.
Marriage benefits from a strong individual, it doesn’t create one. If you don’t know who you are, what you want, and how to stand on your own, marriage can quietly turn into a place where you shrink instead of grow. So don’t chase marriage like it’s the goal. Chase a life that already feels full so if you choose to marry, it adds to you, not becomes you.
