IN THIS ISSUE Develop the topic B
HYPOTHESIS ON THE FOOD OF WINTER AND SUMMER.
We are all convinced that we live in the southern hemisphere eat backwards. We believe that as our culture comes from the north, our modes of feeding are disrupted.
- Eat nuts, almonds and nougat nuts at Christmas?, That is nonsense! - We all, because it is a custom imported into the southern lands by immigrants from the north.
We are convinced that consuming these foods in midsummer holiday is a stupid atavism imposed by our ancestors, because they grew up with the usual are eaten in the winters of year-end from their places of origin.
For something similar, in all places where it is cold, its people, or those who pass by them, believe that eating chocolate bars is a way to protect yourself from the harsh seasonal. One always remembers
film images of U.S. soldiers fighting over a candy bar from the rich to supposedly make more bearable the harsh European winter war. (Actually what they needed was to feel sweet taste in their palates, as we have seen, to pretend to feel protected from the aggression that they played live.)
is why, we are confident , we are victims of a sort of collective psychosis, a counterculture force us to eat nuts and chocolate in the hot South American summer.
remember as an event comedy, which I read as a child in the children's magazine Billiken that "gives more heat in winter an ice cream than a bowl of soup", since the note said, "has more calories ice cream chocolate than a bowl of soup. "
And I believed him. But, above all, I loved the story because no one can deny that when you're a child is a thousand times richer ice cream a good portion of a soup (but then very cold).
But none of that is true.
We said earlier that for all, the mouth is not more than the mouth of a furnace in which the more fuel it adds more heat is produced, and this is a fallacy.
It seems we have forgotten something essential: INTRINSIC HEAT OF SUBSTANCES , a concept that in our Faculty of Medicine of Rosario Julio showed us in his famous lecture Barman Biological Physics.
Every element, apart from dozens of physical properties that characterize it, has a very particular, about which very little is said: INTRINSIC HEAT.
Named to the ability of any member, to retain for more or less heat that has provided a source of it. If we heat a hundred degrees centigrade one liter of water and an oil, and then, in unison, remove from the heat, we see that the water takes much longer to cool. Consequently, water has more intrinsic heat the oil. In fact, as I recall, is distilled water the hottest intrinsic element of all that exist.
The man, after discovering the fire, noted that hot water is pure emetic, but if it is dissolved in an element that gives flavor automatically ceases to be enjoyable. And also noted that by eating a hot water flavored compound, are more easily defended from the cold environment in their forced exposure to it. The teas, broths and stews are the result of that observation.
and rigorous way. By ingesting food or drink that has a high intrinsic heat (lots of hot water in its composition) our temperature rise a few tenths of a degree-elevation to be maintained for a long time-which will more easily withstand prolonged exposure prevailing cold. For those Russians consume large quantities of tea almost boiling (taken from their traditional samovar) before exposure to the frigid temperatures of their crudelísimos winters.
In our Christmas, ending with the matter, consume, in fact, elements of very low intrinsic heat roasts of beef or pork, or chicken or turkey, and salads of all kinds, for example. And drink things that have a high percentage of cold water, because as the water is the ultimate in cool, is also what takes longer to warm up, so it keeps the cold longer than it has been submitted.
At Christmas in the northern hemisphere, where temperatures are very low at these times, food and beverages are consumed with high intrinsic heat soups, stews ... That is the real difference.
