¿Te duele la garganta? ¿Te cuesta tragar? Si te has resfriado, aquí
tienes una lista de alimentos que pueden ayudarte a aliviar el dolor.
¿Dolor de Garganta? Estos Alimentos te Ayudarán a
Calmar la Irritación
Inflamación, irritación, di-
ficultad para tragar, picor,
quemazón... ¿quién no ha te-
nido nunca un desagradable do-
lor de garganta? La causa más
común del dolor de garganta es
una infección viral, o más bien,
la respuesta inmune del orga-
nismo a ese virus, que hace que
el revestimiento de la garganta
se inflame, que es lo que causa
el dolor.
No hay muchas cosas que
se puedan hacer con respecto
a una infección viral, excep-
to tener paciencia y esperar a
que el organismo se cure por sí
mismo… pero sí que hay algu-
nos remedios para mitigar sus
síntomas, como el del dolor de
garganta. Y es que hay algunos
alimentos que pueden ayudar a
acelerar el proceso de curación,
que calman la inflamación y
que suavizan la zona, aliviando
un poco el dolor. ¿Quieres saber
cuáles son? ¡Toma nota!
Caldo de pollo: El dolor de
garganta es el resultado de la
inflamación y la deshidratación,
Líquidos como el caldo de pollo
caliente no solo sirven para re-
poner el agua perdida, sino que
proporcionan nutrientes, suavi-
zan la garganta y su sal ayuda
al cuerpo a retener el líquido
dentro de los tejidos. Los caldos
de verduras también te servirán.
Miel: La miel ha sido un pi-
lar de los remedios medicina-
les desde la antigüedad, y por
una buena razón. La ciencia
moderna ha demostrado que
la miel puede ser eficaz contra
una variedad de infecciones,
tanto bacterianas como virales,
incluidas las que causan el res-
friado común, así como algunas
especies de estreptococos. Tó-
mala, por ejemplo, con un poco
de leche caliente.
Yogurt: El yogur es una bue-
na fuente de proteínas, carbo-
hidratos y grasas saludables,
así como de bacterias probió-
ticas, que apoyan la función
inmunológica y evitan que los
gérmenes dañinos se apoderen
del organismo. Además, su tex-
tura frescas y suave hacen que
sea un alimento fácil de tragar
cuando nada más calma.
Huevos: Prepáralos revuel-
tos, más suaves. Los huevos son
muy ricos en minerales como el
zinc, el hierro y el selenio, así
como en vitamina D y B12,
que pueden ayudar a tu cuerpo
a defenderse de la desagradable
infección que causa el dolor de
garganta.
Jengibre: El jengibre tiene
propiedades analgésicas, an-
tioxidantes y antiinflamato-
rias. Según diversos estudios,
también parece ser capaz de
inhibir el crecimiento de cier-
tas cepas dañinas de bacte-
rias. En un estudio publicado
en Nutrition Journal, la com-
binación de jengibre y miel
demostró ser más eficaz que
cualquiera de las dos especias
por separado para tratar el do-
lor de garganta.
Avena: En general, los
mejores alimentos para co-
mer cuando tienes dolor de
garganta son los alimentos
de textura suave, que no irri-
tan más. La avena definiti-
vamente entra dentro de esta
categoría. Es un alimento
rico en magnesio, zinc y an-
tioxidantes, que impulsan
los procesos de desintoxica-
ción del cuerpo y ayudan a
eliminar los desechos y las
infecciones del cuerpo.
Gelatina: La gelatina es
una opción recomendable
cuando tienes dolor de gar-
ganta, ya que proporciona
hidratación y su textura la
hace fácil de tragar. Eso sí,
controla su cantidad de azú-
car.

Alimentos Recomendables para Personas con Diabetes
No es ningún secreto que
la dieta juega un papel
fundamental en el con-
trol de la diabetes. Cuando se
trata de manejar esta enferme-
dad crónica, no se trata solo de
fijarse en unos pocos alimentos
sino de tener un plato balancea-
do y llevar una alimentación
equilibrada. Realmente no hay
ningún alimento específico que
ayude a controlarla mejor, pero
sí hay algunos que son más re-
comendables que otros.
Así, para cualquier tipo de
diabetes (incluida la tipo 1,
cuando el páncreas produce
poca o ninguna insulina, y la
gestacional, que ocurre durante
el embarazo), las elecciones de
alimentos son importantes. Y
sea cual sea el grupo de alimen-
tos, encontrar opciones saluda-
bles que te gusten es clave para
mantener una dieta que ayude a
controlar el azúcar en la sangre.
Aquí tienes algunos alimentos
recomendados para personas
con diabetes. ¡Fíchalos!
Verduras sin almidón: Se re-
comienda que las personas con
diabetes coman más vegetales
sin almidón que cualquier otra
cosa. Las verduras sin almidón
generalmente son bajas en car-
bohidratos, por lo que no au-
mentarán el nivel de azúcar en
la sangre. Estos vegetales lle-
nos de nutrientes están llenos
de fibra, y esa fibra no digerible
ralentiza la absorción de carbo-
hidratos o azúcares para ayu-
dar a estabilizar el azúcar en la
sangre. Si bien la fibra también
es un tipo de carbohidrato die-
tético, son los otros dos tipos
principales, los almidones y el
azúcar, los que aumentan prin-
cipalmente el azúcar en la san-
gre. Las acelgas, las alcacho-
fas, el apio o la berenjena son
verduras sin almidón.
Verduras de hoja verde: Las
verduras de hojas verdes os-
curas, que no contienen almi-
dón, son recomendables. Las
espinacas, las coles y la col
rizada son potencias nutricio-
nales, cargadas de vitaminas y
minerales que incluyen A, C,
E y K, así como hierro, calcio
y potasio.
Brócoli: Diversas investigacio-
nes sugieren que un compuesto
que se encuentra en el brócoli,
llamado sulforafano, podría ser
beneficioso para reducir los
niveles de glucosa en algunas
personas con diabetes.
Cereales integrales: Los ce-
reales integrales son una exce-
lente opción. Los patrones de
alimentación como la dieta me-
diterránea y la dieta DASH son
óptimos para las personas con
diabetes, en parte porque tien-
den a incluir muchas verduras
y granos integrales. Los granos
integrales para probar podrían
incluir la avena, el centeno, el
farro, la quinoa o el trigo bul-
gur. Y si bien debe controlar
sus carbohidratos, eso no signi-
fica que no puedas comer pan
integral, pasta o arroz integral.
Pescados grasos: Los ex-
pertos recomiendan que las
personas con diabetes llenen
la cuarta parte restante de
un plato con proteína magra.
Una gran opción es el pescado
azul, muy rico en ácidos gra-
sos omega-3 como el salmón,
las sardinas o el atún. Los
omega-3 no solo son benefi-
ciosos para la salud del cere-
bro, sino que también pueden
mejorar la salud del corazón.
Nueces: Las nueces y otros fru-
tos secos como las almendras,
los pistachos, los anacardos o
las avellanas también sirven
como una fuente saludable de
grasa y fibra. ¡Toma un puñado
cuando quieras
Se estima que solo en Es-
tados Unidos. 34 millones de
personas (1 de cada 10) tie-
nen diabetes. La dieta es una
herramienta crucial para con-
trolar la enfermedad, y la pér-
dida de peso puede ayudar a
las personas con sobrepeso a
prevenir la diabetes tipo 2. La
prevención es especialmente
importante si se tiene en cuen-
ta que la diabetes conlleva
complicaciones como presión

brovascular, enfermedades re-
nales o incluso ceguera.

Permítete expresar
tus emociones
Como hemos comentado,
al reaccionar ante una mentira
hay quienes lo hacen de forma
abrupta y descontrolada. Pero
también hay quienes no logran
reaccionar o reprimen sus sen-
timientos por diversos motivos;
quizá para evitar empeorar la
situación o por el miedo a per-
der al otro. Si formas parte de
este grupo, has de saber que es
necesario y saludable permitirte
sentir y expresar lo que sientes.
El enfado es una emoción
natural y necesaria que nos
protege y nos permite poner
límites. Cuando alguien trai-
ciona tu confianza es natural
que sientas enojo y has de
poder exteriorizarlo. Eso sí,
procura hacerlo de una for-
ma asertiva y controlada, que
tenga como objetivo último
obtener una explicación de la
otra persona y buscar solucio-
nes si fuera el caso.
Todos nuestros víncu-
los sociales se constru-
yen sobre la base de la
confianza. Es esta la que nos
permite saber que un emplea-
do cumplirá con su trabajo,
que un amigo será leal o que
nuestra pareja respetará la re-
lación. Cuando nos mienten,
este pilar fundamental se de-
bilita, generando en nosotros
diferentes emociones. Deci-
dir cómo reaccionar ante una
mentira no es sencillo, por eso
queremos ofrecerte algunas
pautas a considerar.
Cuando descubrimos que una
persona cercana nos miente, no
siempre tenemos el autodomi-
nio suficiente para pensar antes
de actuar. Las reacciones vis-
cerales y automáticas son muy
comunes en estos casos, espe-
cialmente si consideramos que
la transgresión ha sido grave o
si nos sentimos profundamente
ofendidos y traicionados.
Aun así, una vez que to-
memos distancia y logremos
apaciguar nuestros ánimos ha-
bremos de decidir qué hacer a
continuación; y es aquí cuando
las siguientes recomendaciones
pueden ser de utilidad.
Analiza tu grado de relación
con la otra persona
Este primer punto es funda-
mental a la hora de tomar una
decisión, ya que no es igual
que te mienta un familiar cer-
cano a que lo haga alguien a
quien acabas de conocer. En
este segundo caso, proba-
blemente la mentira sea una
señal temprana de que no es
conveniente continuar inti-
mando con esa persona. Pero,
de tratarse de un ser querido,
la solución no es tan sencilla.
En este último supuesto será
importante analizar si esta es
la primera vez que esa per-
sona nos engaña o si se trata
de un patrón que se repite; y,
del mismo modo, podríamos
tener en cuenta más informa-
ción (de los que a continua-
ción hablamos) para decidir
cómo proceder.
Evalúa la gravedad
de la situación
Es cierto que el daño a la
confianza se produce siempre,
independientemente de la clase
de mentira a la que nos estemos
enfrentando. Sin embargo, que
alguien finja puntualmente te-
ner un compromiso porque no
le apetece salir no es tan grave
como que la pareja oculte una
infidelidad.
Cada uno de nosotros decide
dónde colocar sus líneas rojas;
aquellas que, de traspasarse,
suponen un punto de no retor-
no en la relación con el otro.
Así, pregúntate si lo ocurrido
va más allá de los límites de lo
que para ti es aceptable.
Sopesa las posibles causas
antes de reaccionar a
una mentira
Es importante considerar que
una mentira puede responder a
diferentes motivos. En ocasio-
nes la deshonestidad surge para
evitar una consecuencia inde-
seada o para obtener algún tipo
de beneficio. Por ejemplo, es
frecuente mentir para preservar
la propia imagen e historia per-
sonal de cara a los demás.
Este tipo de motivaciones
más egoístas son diferentes a
otras derivadas de carencias
emocionales o del carácter.
Por ejemplo, algunas personas
engañan debido a una falta de
autoestima o por una necesidad
de obtener el reconocimiento,
la admiración y la aprobación
de los demás.
Así, pueden llegar a inven-
tar sobre aspectos importantes
de su vida esperando no ser
descubiertas. Incluso, si la ten-
dencia a mentir es recurrente,
es posible que exista de fondo
alguna patología que requiera
intervención profesional.
En cualquiera de los casos,
los motivos subyacentes no
justifican el engaño ni te obli-
gan a perdonar y continuar en
contacto con quien te ha men-
tido. Sin embargo, sí pueden
ayudarte a comprender la situa-
ción más en profundidad.
La mentira daña la confianza, convirtiéndose en una fuente de emociones negativas.

Detener el Acoso Sexual en el Lugar de Trabajo
Stopping Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
E l acoso basado en el
sexo o género de un
empleado generalmen-
te se le llama “acoso sexual”.
La conducta de acoso sexual
no necesita ser motivada
por el deseo sexual del aco-
sador y puede ser cometida
por una persona, ya sea del
mismo sexo o sexo opuesto.
Además, la conducta sexual
no es bienvenida cuando la
persona que la experimenta
no da su consentimiento para
dicha conducta.
Hay dos tipos de aco-
so sexual: acoso sexual en
ambiente de trabajo hostil
y acoso sexual a cambio de
algo.
El acoso sexual en ambien-
te de trabajo hostil es donde
la conducta de acoso que está
basada en el sexo de un em-
pleado interfiere en forma
injustificada con el desem-
peño de trabajo de dicho em-
pleado o crea un ambiente de
trabajo intimidante, hostil u
ofensivo. Bajo la ley actual,
solo un incidente de conduc-
ta de acoso es suficiente para
crear un ambiente de trabajo
hostil.
El acoso sexual a cam-
bio de algo significa “esto
por aquello” en latín (quid
pro quo). Ejemplos de este
tipo de acoso incluyen cosas
como exigir favores sexua-
les a cambio de beneficios
de empleo o exigir favores
sexuales mediante amena-
zas de acciones negativas de
empleo. En el acoso sexual a
cambio de algo, el empleador
puede ser responsable, inclu-
so sin tener conocimiento de
que el acoso está ocurriendo.
El acoso ilícito puede ser
físico, tal como ser tocado
sin que usted lo quiera; bro-
mas sexuales inapropiadas,
comentarios despectivos o
insinuaciones; amenazas
verbales de naturaleza se-
xual; acoso visual con textos,
imágenes de Internet, posters
o señas; pedir favores sexua-
les en forma agresiva o repe-
titiva; y mostrar favoritismo
basado en sexo.
El uso constante de las re-
des sociales y los mensajes
de texto en nuestra sociedad
crea un ambiente propicio
para escribir cosas inapro-
piadas en estos días. ¡Tenga
en cuenta de que cualquier
empleador o empleado que
participe en acoso sexual a
través de las redes sociales
puede ser responsable de
acoso, ser declarado culpa-
ble de un delito, estar suje-
to a medidas disciplinarias o
ser despedido!
Monitoree las comunica-
ciones de los empleados y
prohíba conducta sexual ilí-
cita en su lugar de trabajo.
Si tiene preguntas o in-
quietudes adicionales sobre
acoso sexual y quisiera ob-
tener asesoramiento de un
abogado laboral del Valle de
Coachella, comuníquese hoy
mismo con la Law Office of
Karen J. Sloat, APC, para
programar una consulta.H arassment based on
an employee’s sex
or gender is gener-
ally called “sexual harass-
ment.” Sexual harassing
conduct does not need to be
motivated by the harasser’s
sexual desire, and can be
committed by a person of ei-
ther the same or the opposite
sex. Also, sexual conduct is
unwelcome whenever the
person experiences does not
consent to it.
Sexual harassment has two
types: Hostile Work Envi-
ronment and Quid Pro Quo.
Hostile work environment
sexual harassment is where
harassing conduct based on
an employee’s sex unreason-
ably interferes with the em-
ployee’s work performance
or creates an intimidating,
hostile, or offensive work
environment. Only one in-
cident of harassing conduct
is sufficient to create a hos-
tile work environment under
current law.
Quid pro quo sexual harass-
ment means “this for that”
in Latin. Examples of this
type include things such as
demanding sexual favors in
exchange for employment
benefits, or demanding sexual
favors by threatening negative
employment actions. In quid
pro quo sexual harassment,
the employer can be liable
even if they are not aware the
harassment is occurring.
Unlawful harassment may
be physical, like unwanted
touching; inappropriate sex-
ual jokes, derogatory com-
ments, or innuendo; verbal
threats of a sexual nature; vi-
sual harassment, with texts,
internet images, posters, or
signs; aggressive or repeated
requests for sexual favors;
and showing favoritism
based on sex.
The constant use of social
media and texting in our
society creates a conducive
atmosphere to write inap-
propriate things these days.
Be aware that any employer
or employee who engages in
sexual harassment through
social media may be liable
for harassment, convicted
of a crime, or disciplined or
fired!
Monitor employee com-
munications and prohibit
unlawful sexual conduct in
your workplace.
If you have additional
questions or concerns about
sexual harassment and would
like advice from a Coachella
Valley employment lawyer,

Karen J. Sloat, APC, today
